If you’re in the mood for thin-crust Neapolitan-style ‘za, you can’t go wrong with this popular pizzeria on University Ave. The downtown location is bright and busy with soaring ceilings, vinyl booth-style seating and the same classic menu of fire-roasted pies that have earned a citywide cult following. Picky pizza lovers will like the simple margherita and marinara, but we suggest ordering something a little more adventurous – the duck confit with Bosc pear is the perfect mix of sweet and savoury. Be sure to make reservations online ahead of time if you plan on visiting with a group.
