In the war of thin crust pizza joints in Toronto, QMP does not have the historical significance of Terroni, nor the shiny marketing prowess of the Libretto famiglia, but it is truly and consistently always the tastiest thin pie in the city.
There's great pizza, great service and a prix fixe that always leaves me stuffed. The prix fixe is the best deal because it runs $27 for an appetizer, any pizza on the list and a dessert. For hungry patrons, the meatball appetizers tends to be smaller (only 2 meatballs per dish) than other dishes. I highly recommend any arugula salad specials as the dressing is always paired perfectly with the bitterness of the salad.
Favourite pizza? Hands down La Scala. Just like the opera house of its namesake, it is a white pizza with fior di latte, arugula, red onion, hot peppers, asiago and...wait for it, sweet pork belly! What's not to love?
Half the pizzas (maybe gross estimation) have fior di latte (ie cow mozzarella) on it, so if you don't like that type of cheese, definitely go elsewhere. The thin crust dough is chewy and never dry. The other pizzas with a tomato based red sauces are also stellar. My other favourites are Giovanni (with prosciutto di Parma) and Capricciosa (wit hprosciutto cotto).
Sit upstairs and enjoy the beautiful windows in any given season. The only downside to QMP is that their cocktails aren't terribly inventive - there's always something with campari or aperol - and their wine list is so-so, but it's never claimed to be anything more than a great neighbourhood pizza joint.
