They have everything from fresh pastry , different cuts of meat and a huge deli all serviced by great staff that know a lot about the products they are selling. Fresh Meat side had great value added already prepared things like stuffed meat loafs , rolled ribs and Stuffed flank steak. If anyone is looking for something different and wanted to be treated to great staff you must Check this place out. Im a meat guy but even their produce looked good! As far as COVID 19 goes, I felt safe in their store. They sanitize everything all the time and the lay out is good to social distance. Also found out they offer curve side pick up and delivery. This place is 10/10 and highly recommend going. I can honestly say it's one of the nicest independent grocery store I have ever been too !!

While I was in Kitchener I spotted a sign that read "Victoria Street Market" and something about…read moresausages... the building looked inviting. So I made a left and headed into the parking lot. Upon entering this little gem I observed a very clean and very well organized little shop. To begin the tour heading to the right hand side of the shop (which is about 5,000 sq feet I believe.) there was an area just dedicated to seafood with all kinds of fresh fish, shrimp, lobster, squid, salmon... you get the picture. The area had all kinds of seafood sauces and spices ... But HUH? I read something about sausages... so where are they? Ah as I got a little further into the store I saw an entire area with, beef, pork and chicken. As I looked over to the chilled glass display case, there were the sausages October fest, Hot Italian, Honey garlic, mild Italian, etc... On the left side of the shop I found a full deli counter filled with all kinds of cheeses and cold cuts. You may also order a sandwich of your choice and take it to go or eat it there. Each area has staff to assist you and all the staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. The store is loaded with all sorts of exotic sauces, spices, European cookies and breads. As for me I ordered a mixture of cold cuts, October fest sausages, some steaks and some chicken. The prices were great and I loved that the store was VERY clean. Will I be back again? OH YEAH!!!!..

There are only 4 tables inside but they also do take out and delivery if you don't feel like sitting around, very friendly people and I recommend you check it out sometime for some great stretchy pizza cheese and some delicious sauce with a thin pizza layer that will make you wanting more. I've gone here many times and also recommend you try they're amazing bread sticks. Overall great food and great service in a small town gem of a restaurant pizza place.

On Saturday, I was in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Wellesley area. I had stopped for lunch at Arby's in…read moreWaterloo and needed to hit a grocery store. I found this Zehrs in Kitchener, which was on my way home and decided to drop by. I didn't realize that it was at Stanley Park Mall. I love how I just blindly go somewhere and figure things out. I parked close to the mall entrance. There was plenty of parking available. I walked in. There were a ton of shopping carts by the grocery store's main entrance. I grabbed one and headed into the store. I saw an escalator that looked like it went downstairs to parking. I had no idea that there was an underground parking lot! I have been to Zehrs twice in my life, including this visit. I dig it. It's under the Loblaw umbrella, but staff are so friendly and there's a small town feel to it. This store is huge! I came to get produce and was pleased at how fresh everything was. I got mushrooms and they were so fresh when I used them today. The celery was in pristine condition. I liked the bananas. I saw a man break off a banana here and another one there. It was odd. He did it four times while I stood there. During a pandemic, I just buy a hand of bananas and break them off myself at home, without fussing over an imperfect banana. I enjoyed browsing in the drinks aisle. I got two bottles of Roar drinks, which are lower in sugar and claim to have electrolytes. The strawberry coconut one was my favourite. The Joe Fresh section is massive. I managed to get a couple of sleepwear t-shirts that had cute sayings related to sleep. I got them for $5 each. Such a great price! There's also a Starbucks cafe. It looked nice. I had already visited two cafes by the time I got here. I didn't need a third visit! I loved the hot food and to-go areas. The sushi bar looked incredible. I wasn't hungry. If I were, I know where to go. I had to use the washroom. There are two and are unisex. The one that I used was clean. It has hand sanitizer, too. I lined up at the cashout area. There was a nice woman letting us know which cash place to go to. I went to 2 and had another nice woman cash me out. I couldn't find my PC Optimum card at that point (I eventually did), so I whipped out my phone app and had it scanned. I then paid with my credit card. Done! We both wished each other a great day. We also said to stay safe to each other. I happily left rolling my groceries out to my car. Another woman was bringing back all carts. Staff sanitize them, which was nice to see. The aisles are wide and there are arrows on the floor to indicate in which direction you should walk. I only found one woman not get it. I am used to everyone ignoring the arrows when I'm in a store, so it was refreshing that folks were following them for a change! I enjoyed my shopping experience here. I'd return when I'm in the area. (11)

The crust is on the thicker side and has a satisfying crunch to it. When it comes to toppings, they don't skimp! Hard to find places that load up on toppings unless you pay for it. Prices are also quite reasonable for a local pizza place. In addition to pizza they have pastries and sandwiches that look amazing! I really wish I was able to try them. Service was friendly and inviting, and the restaurant is clean. Unfortunately, I don't get out to Kitchener too often but if I did I would definitely make this my go to place!

I wish you could give half stars....I'd give them 3.5 out of 5…read more I ordered their "Gourmet meat supreme" - Pepperoni, Bacon, Sausage, Beef. The quality of the crust/dough is quite good. Their sauce is also very nice and flavourful. Where they lose marks is in how they've built the pizza. It's almost like they make pepperoni/cheese in advance and then throw the other toppings on after the fact. This results in loose toppings that don't stay on the pizza - and go everywhere. As 3 of these toppings (bacon, sausage and ground beef) are of the crumble variety, that means they go everywhere. They should have sprinkled more cheese on top / throughout to keep all of these toppings in place. As such, you really need to eat it with a knife and fork to keep the toppings from going everywhere.

I'm not sure you should be allowed to calm yourself a pizza place if you use a salamander…read more If you're not aware, pizza is best cooked in a pizza oven. Stone is best. Steel does well too. The texture of the crust is improved by the combination of convection heat on the top and the direct heat from the floor of the oven. The only alternative to make a good pizza is with a pizza stone. This is where you create the direct heat for the crust by preheating a stone surface in a traditional oven with racks rather than a flat cooking surface. Sometimes, unfortunately, an entrepreneur will elect to attempt to save some money and buy a salamander. A salamander is like a toaster with a conveyor belt running through it. This toasts your pizza rather than baking it. This robs your pizza of the hot cooking surface and direct heat. What results is a pizza that has the texture of toasted wonderbread. This is not the texture for great pizza. I walked in to Belisima. I said "oh, you use a salamander". I walked out the door and drove over to Napoli. I got a competent old fashioned pizza.
