Yay, thick crust! This term doesn't really do it justice, though, 'cause it's actually a crispy/fluffy home-made focaccia crust. Tasty!
The toppings are varied and of good quality. The thick slices are on display, but they will also make a personal, thin-crust pizza. (They will also make a thick crust, 6-slice rectangular pie, but they need 30-40 minutes notice. That's my next move.
This is a small, comfortable, attractive cafe where you order from the counter and your food is brought to your table. Enjoy.Listed in: Pizza

How do you buy an established pizza restaurant and F it up so bad? I used to get the thin crust "personal" sized pizzas from Giovanni (wild guess) and went in last week with a craving for one.
The new owners seem nice enough, though what I received was a humongous pizza that seems as though it had been made by Pizza Pizza or some other generic joint. I was totally disappointed and will not likely return and definitely won't unless they get some green olives!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Just another gyro place now, they got rid of the gorgeous espresso bar and don't even sell coffee at all anymore. The pizza looks really terrible, worse than chain pizza, the offerings are not much different than the falafel place 3 stores to the right.
I'm really sad. :(1 Previous Review: Show all »

New owners took over. The pizza is not the same at all. Their "personal" pizza is now comparable to a chain pizza, it has no character. On their thick crust pizzas, they've started replacing delicious italian ingredients with chain pizza ingredients: green peppers, and pepperoni instead of salumi.
Ugh.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Elliott M.

As others have written, the place has changed ownership, and no, the food is not as good. The first clue was the appearance of green peppers -- perhaps the ultimate hack topping when it comes to preparing pizza. They're attempting stromboli, which I initially found interesting, but unfortunately there's green peppers inside. Many of the counterstaff remain, and they're still nice, but the blunt truth is that this is not the unique example it was before. All my earlier gushing is almost completely invalid now. I'll keep the review up as nostalgia, but please don't take it seriously. It describes the past, not the present.

History
Established in 2009
I am an Italian immigrant and I wanted to bring some of the real Italian culture here in Toronto... I knew this was a bet, in fact it is hard to convince people that is possible to eat healthier and feel satisfied, but I am here to re-educate the people to a better eating...
Meet the Business Owner: denis f.
I have been in the hospitality and food&bevergae business for 10years now, I did pretty much anything from being a server in WaltDisneyworld to assistant banqueting manager at a luxury hotel, worked in a cafe' as bartender/barista/kitchen supervisor and been a restaurant manager at the CNtower... I am a certified pizzaiolo (pizzamaker), bartender and achieved the first out of three levels at the Italian Sommelier Association.
This is my first experience as business owner though...
