DEAL ALERT:  TUESDAYS ONLY

$2.50 flat for a HUGE slice of either pepperoni or veggie and a can of pop!

Hard working men  produce pizzas like hotcakes during the Dinner rush so wait times aren't bad all.

Try living in another city (in Ontario at least) while using their transit system, and see if you still want to complain about the TTC.

I love supporting businesses that are doing good in the Community while providing an excellent service(s) at the same time.  I recommend A-Way Express for any socially-conscious Torontonian who needs a same-day express courier service.

Dufferin Mall is a saving grace in the west-end of downtown Toronto.  The only other Mall other than the Eaton Centre south of Bloor Street that you could spend hours in.  And it's conveniently located just south of the Dufferin Subway.

Best Pizza in Toronto!  Their panzerotti's (also known as "heart attack on a plate") are also reallllly good.  But they're probably 10,000 calories each.... Still- so worth it.

A birthday in my family has not yet been celebrated until the candles are blown out on a Dufflet's cake.
