REVIEW | Pi Co. Pizza

We all know that there's a LOT of options when it comes to pizza in Toronto. We haven't even come close to trying all of them as there's a new pizza shop popping up every few months! There are obviously differences - gourmet, brick oven, fast food, DIY, gluten-free, thin/thick crust, etc. the list is endless. When it comes to Pi Co. it's the perfect compromise in between all of that. It's a custom pizza that's authentic and cooked in minutes in a brick oven. The best part is that it's fast!

Pi Co. offers the classic, oh-so-good Margherita pizza (above). The rest if up to you - choose the dough, sauce, cheese and toppings (unlimited) and then wait 90 seconds while it's cooked. Voila! The only disappointment I have is that it's in Yorkville, a little out of the way for Clara and I as we're in the entertainment district. We're selfish when it comes to good food and would like them all to be walking distance from us ;)

On my last visit, I created my own pizza with the following toppings:

1. Neopolitan Pizza Crust

2. Marinara Sauce

3. Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

4. Red onions, roasted garlic, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes

Pi Co. also serves salads (DIY as well) and dessert using the same pizza dough. With sweet toppings like nutella, sprinkles and peanut butter, Pi doesn't always have to be savoury!

If you happen to be in the Yorkville area and looking for a quick grab of good pizza, give Pi Co. a try. We'd love to see what kind of topping combinations that you come up with.

REVIEW | Schnitzel Hub

If vodka, Biergarten or Eastern European food means anything to you then Schnitzel Hub is the place you want to be. The diversity of cuisines has expanded in the St. Clair and Yonge area with Schnitzel Hub's second location. Unlike the Schnitzel Hub's first location in Vaughan, this new spot offers a full bar, many more seatings for groups as well as a private dining area. For vodka lovers, you'll be surprised to see some artisan house-infused vodkas at Schnitzel Hub with crazy flavours like lemon & ginger, candy, smoked bacon and even honey & chili pepper! I suggest you sip these infused vodkas to really taste the flavours. Personally, I enjoyed the lemon & ginger but many others were raving about the horseradish! Now, onto the food offerings. This restaurant prides itself on creating homemade, authentic meals from Eastern an Central Europe with a focus on schnitzels. I must say the portions here are very generous so it's a great spot to go for din...

REVIEW | HoneyButter - Decadent Macarons and more...

Who doesn't love desserts? We certainly do and that's why we were so excited to try out HoneyButter's macarons! HoneyButter is a private dessert company founded by Grace who offers a wide variety of desserts including cheesecakes, tarts, cupcakes cookies and of course macarons. Anyone who likes to bake will tell you that baking is essentially a science. Proportions have to be exact or else the result turns out to be one of those "baking fails" that everyone laughs about. However, not all baking is created equally...cookies and breads tend to be on the easier side and then there are the macarons...in their perfect little shells just taunting you to attempt conquering them. Having tried and failed numerous times at making macarons myself, it's nice to know I can contact HoneyButter to order some and know that when they arrive they'll look nothing like my own personal baking fail. The list of flavours for macarons is almost never ending and for HoneyBu...

REVIEW | Brassaii - Brunch

Let's be honest. There's no shortage when it comes to brunch spots in the city - the only problem is... the lines, especially at places that do not take reservations. Brassaii is known more for nightlife - dinner, cocktails, bottle service and music but they actually have great brunch selections during the day. Plus, they take reservations! The entrance to the King West restaurant is very pretty with cobblestone and plants surrounding patio seatings. The interior is also very spacious. The kitchen is open and is at the back of the restaurant. We went on a Saturday afternoon and was surprised for the place to be so empty. Maybe most brunch diners visit during their famous "Le Brunch" on Sundays? Nonetheless, with all the space inside it seemed like a great place for big groups. We started with a mimosa and a cold-pressed juice. The good news is that the brunch menu is simple, which I prefer to a crowded menu; I got the chicken and waffles and my friend chose the Omele...
