Paoletti's Pizzeria

The way that I found out about Paoletti's Pizzeria was unfortunately due to their rivalry with the former Dantes (now closed) that appeared in the Toronto Star.  But lets not focus too much on that, and focus instead on the pizza!

Paoletti's is located in a non descript plaza.  It looks almost industrial.  If I wasn't looking for them, there's no way I would have known they were there.  We went on a Saturday afternoon, so there wasn't much in terms of a crowd.  We ordered our pizza and about 15 minutes later, it was ready for us to consume.  There were 3 tables there, so we figured we might as well stay there and eat while the pizza was nice and fresh.  We ordered a super deluxe pizza, but I can't remember if we ordered a mini or a small.  Looking at the picture doesn't really help me remember.  The pizza came topped with a very generous amount of pepperoni, mushroom, onion, salami, red peppers, and tomato.  I wish there was a bit more colour to the pizza, it was just all so red.  Everything was very fresh!  The downside, it was a bit salty for me (may be due to all the meat), and also, I wasn't a huge fan of the crust.  I like a chewier crust, this was a bit more bready.  I love to eat pizza, but i'm not too familiar with the different kinds of crust and what regions they are from.

Super Deluxe Pizza

Definitely worth trying their pizzas.  Not the best pizza that I've had, but definitely better than the chains.  Also, eating pizzas with so many fresh vegetables, tricks my mind into thinking that I'm eating healthy, kinda.

MeVaMe Express

I had an appointment to go to, and I was hungry, and MeVaMe Express was close by.  I think it was partly to satisfy the disappointing shawarma from Osmow's Grill.  This location of MeVaMe used to be pretty old and run down looking.  But to my surprise when I walked near the door, I saw they did some renovations, and was looking pretty good now.  Also to my surprise, they now have laffas!  I love laffas.  If you don't know what they are, the way that I would describe it would be that it's a cross between a pita and a roti.  I ordered a falafel laffa and the hubby ordered a chicken shawarma laffa.  I've had laffas before, but I forgot how big they actually are..... I was only able to eat half!  The laffa bread itself was delicious, freshly made.  The falafel, I actually prefer the ones from Sababa down the street more.  The falafel at MeVaMe was a bit too wet for my liking.  It wasn't wet as in soggy, because the outside was nice and crispy, but the inside was mushy like.  The chicken shawarma was delicious, the meat had the crispy bits from rotating on the grill.  I wish I had taken better pictures of the insides.....
