When recommending pizza, it's always good to mention what kind of pizza it is -- people have very different preferences.
Pretty sure I could manage a large pizza and pitcher for $28 without being too particular about it. lol,

See, I personally prefer quality over quantity, so I would probably rather have a really good small pizza and a pint of good craft beer.

http://www.pi-co.ca/ - see coming soon section.
We took the ION to Fairview Park to try the pizza at Pi.Co. And we really liked it. We liked is so much that we will definitely return.
They have only one size of pizza (9 inches?) cut into four slices. They have many toppings available and you can add as many items as you like. There is no charge for the extra items! The pizza is placed into a very hot (720C+) oven for about a minute and a half. The pizza is a thin crust Neapolitan style pizza that's nice and hot and chewy. The pizzeria is rather stark but clean and there is a patio outside. There are tables and booths inside but most people did take-out. It is not licensed. You can't access Pi.Co from the mall but it is only a two minute walk from the ION station.

Speaking of pizza, does McMullens still have their pizza and beer special? I can't remember the cost, but I seem to recall it being insanely inexpensive.
RE: Pizza - Spokes - 08-06-2019
Wasn't McMullan's planning on closing?

I never really understood that name. I lived in Boston (well, Cambridge MA) for 6 years and pizza really wasn't a famous thing from Boston. I guess they just chose a random place to name their chain after.
RE: Pizza - JoeKW - 01-24-2020
Totally... it sounds nice and allows them to make their own pizza without being compared to 'classic Boston style pizza'
RE: Pizza - robdrimmie - 01-24-2020
It was picked by a Greek immigrant in the 60s, long before there were franchises.

It seems to be a popular Canadian thing to do, and I guess it shows just how much we love America, because, when an American comes to Canada, they can have New York Fries, or Boston Pizza, get a steak from Montana's, a pita from New York Pita Company, play some snooker at Chicago and feel just like their at home....I don't know if there are any American restaurants with Canadian names tho.

Stone oven-baked thin-crust pizza FTW!

I'm fairly certain it is, or at least, that's what I would expect when I hear Canadian bacon in the US.
That being said, am I the ONLY one excited about Chicago deep dish style pizza?!
I had one in Chicago once. It was really heavy! Sure, I'd try it.

Lol, I mean, heavy is an accurate description, but not exactly a ringing endorsement for a food.
I had one in the Chicago airport. While tasty, I figure it would be interesting to try a non airport layover version.
RE: Pizza - Bytor - 02-02-2021
Can y'all stop posting in this topic so often, please? Every time I see it in the "What's New" list I get cravings and my spouse gets all angry when I want to order pizza too often.
Thanks. :-D
