best pizza this side of NYC

We have to say that Toronto thus far has been the land of gastro delight. We decided to do a hunt for the best pizza in the city. Bulls eye! On the first try! Terroni's on Aidelade Street.

So you might ask, how do we know its the best if we haven't tried anywhere else? It was just that good. We found Terroni's reviewed on line and they claimed the best pizza this side of the Atlantic, but be warned that the wait staff was "snotty" and they wouldnt make any substitutions or changes from the menu. However, our waiter was very kind. When he found out we used to live in NYC he told us that he wished he could move to NYC, so he got the cook to make a special pizza for the girls. So much for the "cant order off menu" rule! Bee was excited because she saw Calabrese written in various places on the menu. We got the bufalo Margarita pizza and the  Quattro Stagioni, which was one fourth calamata olives (yum!), one fourth eggplant, one fourth zucchini and one fourth prociutto. The crust was really thin but chewy and the toppings very fresh. The pizza was the size of large plate so you could order your own or share. It was amazing. The best since Lombardi's. I could eat there every day. Then Bee had a gelato and scott and i split a tiramisu, and both were quite good. Frankie fell asleep after the pizza which says alot because she never falls asleep in restaurants!




And within minutes of our place, we've also had really good indian at Nataraj and By the Way Cafe, a nice vegetarian cafe for salad. And then there is Gregg's ice cream. Frankie's been eating their coconut like it is going out of style, and Bee dared to try to the ginger. Scott loved the chocobanana, and I loved the coconut and chocoloate combo. We found a Cobs Bread, a great bread shop where we bought a load of whole wheat sesame bread that we have been eating for breakfast everyday, too! Those University of Toronto students are lucky!
