This mainstay of the Yorkville neighbourhood has hosted a number of celebrities over the years. The surroundings are simple and elegant while still retaining some rustic charm, a characteristic that carries over to their pizzas. They serve traditional thin-crust pies baked at super-high temperatures to ensure a wonderfully blistered crust, all perfectly topped with things like prosciutto, basil and fresh mozzarella.
