pizza in Toronto

[BJH]

As long as its about Dave licking a dead liberal it's still technically about nutrition???

Just so long as he's not licking the pizza.

[MINITEE]

Just so long as he's not licking the pizza.

Now that is where I draw the line..... It was a sure-fire way for my brother to deter me from eating something he wanted when we were kids... I do this to Tim every once in a while myself I have to admit

I remember seeing something that said the average toilet seat had less germs on it than the telephone on your desk... not that I would touch my ear to a toilet seat...

That reminds me. Note to self: Pee all over work phone tomorrow to sterilize it...

Make sure you don't eat asperagus beforehand...

[ultraslacker]

hey dave, don't you use the computer at work every day?

just imagine all the germs on that keyboard... you work in a warehouse... do you think all your coworkers wash their hands diligently?

Holly is a troublemaker!!

Dave picked a red guy....

Dave voted liberal.

Dave licked a liberal.

hahahahhahaha....I just laughed out loud in my cubicle.

I had forgotten about Dave's liberal lickings.

I should mention (though Robert doesn't post anymore), that the kind of pizza he is looking for is easily found in Montreal. Montreal pizza tastes very different from Toronto pizza. Just sayin'.

I didn't re-read the thread, but Robert now lives in Halifax. Wonder if we have the kind of pizza here?

[a_beacher]

OK...I started reading the thread from the first page and found myself confused by Dave's comment about Moma Mia's pizza "in his building". He doesn't live anywhere near Moma Mia's anymore so I looked at the date "2006" So confused.
Funny thread though!

[cavia porcellus]

The Mamma's in my building? The Mamma's where the same guy handles the cash and makes the pizza? (Where's the barf emoticon?)

Poppy's a little sloppy.

Worth a bump today.

We actually do have an RMer (scrumhalfgirl) who keeps a pizza-centric blog, so we should all defer to her.

I try not to eat much pizza anymore, but I've stumbled upon the best topping combination: anchovies and pineapple. The sweetest possible topping and saltiest possible topping together... amazing.

I like Justin Trudeau and I'll probably vote for him, but we're not at the licking stage at this point. Maaaaybe a handshake that creepily lasts a few beats too long, but that's it.

And actually relevant to this thread...I once ate pizza with Stephen Harper. By with, I mean he was in the same restaurant as us. And by us, I mean all of the minions were squished into one side of the restaurant, because he needed a bunch of empty tables around him and his security guards. No comment on whether or her licked the pizza.

I was so tickled that I took a screen cap to use as an avatar. Those were different times.

I was in a pub once with then-PM Paul Martin on St. Patty's Day weekend. He had a security detail with him, but essentially was just sitting at a large table with his entourage wearing a Guinness hat.

Dave - Justin Trudeau was in the porter lounge last time I was in TO for work. He is definitely lickable!!!

I concur. I had a chance to have a one on one conversation with Justin a couple months ago (not talking politics...I was telling him that I sold his Mom a rocking chair when she was pregnant with him...way back during my first summer job at an antique store in Ottawa). He is most definitely lickable
btw...he held my hand at the end of that conversation...being a mature woman old enough to be his mom I did not swoon...I promise

He tweeted to me in April!

Really? What does toronto pizza taste like? I do know they have no idea what 'all dressed' means though.

When he walked away, he didn't slip in your pool of drool, did he?

The spices of the sauce and pepperoni are different. Also, Montreal pizza has the cheese on top of everything, whereas in Toronto they tend to put the cheese on top of the sauce, then the toppings sit on top of the cheese.

And I've never seen the ball of dough in the middle of the pizza here - they always use these little plastic things (we call them Barbie chairs ) to keep the lid of the box from touching the pizza.

Most of the popular pizza places in Montreal are owned by Greeks, not Italians.

Yeah, "all dressed" in Montreal is called "Pepperoni, Mushroom, Green Pepper" here. Sometimes also called "Deluxe."

[deerdree]

there is a place in burlington (and also in milton) called "halifax donair and pizza". even though their claim to fame is an "authentic" halifax donair, they also make (what they call) montreal-syle pizza. it has the dough ball in the middle and the cheese on top. i love it!! i've noticed some of scrummy's ottawa pizza pictures looked similar.

i went out for pizza with my family the last time i was in montreal and i realized why my dad (from montreal) always eats his pizza with a knife and fork. the all dressed pizza they serve was much thicker - not chicago-style, but certainly something that would be messier to eat with your hands.

For me knife-and-fork pizza is a dealbreaker... sign of a bad pizza. Topping slippage is caused by two things, both of which make the pizza gods angry:
1. Excessive sauce. Knock it off with the oceans of sauce. SAUCE IS THE LEAST IMPORTANT PART OF PIZZA. Even if your sauce is the best sauce, nobody cares.
2. Crust that is too thick or too hard. How do you eat pizza like a friggin' civilized person? You gently fold it longitudinally to form a food canoe. A properly folded slice can hold unlimited chunky toppings.

If I end up with drippings or stray toppings on my pants and my shirt and my chin, I am blaming the pizza maker. I'm never blaming myself.

The sauce may not make the pizza, but it can be a deal-breaker. Never again will I eat pizza with a creamy or Alfredo sauce
