If you're like me and drive on Centre Street often, you've seen this place. Probably said to yourself, "what a dump." Yep, the outside isn't particularly inviting. Inside, it's got about as much class as a bankrupt KFC. Maybe less. Let's just say this isn't where you'd take a gal on a first date. Unless the second half of your date included smoking crack through a bic pen and anal sex in an alley. There are two chairs for waiting, but not really anywhere to eat. This is take-away or delivery only.
Anyway, last night the wife and I ordered from there, with low expectations. We were pleasantly surprised. Ordered two mediums, bacon and mushroom on one, and peperoni, mushroom and green pepper on the other.
Pizzas were ready in 30 minutes. They have some kind of "walk-in" special where if you are picking up where medium (12") pizzas are only $8.99 each. Great deal, as my two pizzas came to $19 with tax.
The pizza:
Crust - thin to medium thick crust, nicely crispy on the bottom, no burnt spots, no raw spots.
Sauce - nicely flavoured, mildly spicy tomato sauce. Very good. Advertised as "home made" on the menu.
Toppings - Not a huge volume of toppings, but everything that was on there was nice tasting and the veggies were fresh.
Cheese - Standard Mozza, not too thick.
Will it fill me up? I'd say this pizza ends up on the thin side. If you are used to the chicago deep dish type pizza, count on eating a few more slices than normal.
Prices - for walk-in, s/m/l is $6.99/8.99/9.99. Delivery price is $15-18 for medium, up to $22-24 for XL 16".
They also sell chicken wings, lasagne, garlic toast, salads and pop.
Overall, a nicely balanced, nicely cooked pizza at a great price. Next time I'll be trying some of their specialty pizzas, like the Tandoori chicken. Guy looked Indian, so I'm hoping the Tandoori is pretty authentic. Anyone who drives past this place should give it a shot. Anyone who requires cloth napkins and polished hardwood floors should stay away.
Location is 3003 Centre Street North. Phone 403-230-1414.
