Owner was the nicest guy, super funny and charming. I’d go back again just for him! No complaints about the pizza either, pretty solid slice for 3 bucks.

This place isn't exactly the most visible pizza place in the 17th Avenue Shopping Centre but I think this place is well worth checking out. Could be due to the timing of my having a Hawaiian pizza, but the toppings were as fresh as ever, and I didn't feel like they skimped out. Honestly, this is worth a 5 star vote and a fumo pic

Pizza and poutine are good and cheap. Somehow they're both 3 dollars??, so y'all better go support them and spend your money there.

Ordered a Philly cheese steak and chicken shawarma and I can’t wait to come back! Loaded with cheese, great crust, delicious sauces. 10/10 would recommend! Sal runs the whole shop by himself. Stand up guy just looking to make peoples day with everyone’s favourite food.
