A standalone, non-franchised pizza shop…read more The pizzas are quite unique. You won't see combination toppings like these at other places. Most of the other reviews I've read criticize the pricing and reluctantly I would have to agree. Great quality pies with lots of toppings but no other pizza place out there is charging almost $50 for one XL pie. 5 star pizza but 2 star pricing which brings my overall rating down to 4 stars. So far I've tried: Sweet italian Honey pork Gordon's favorite Will obviously return but this place is more for special occasions or potlucks imo.

I know its a small place but you don't even have an entry point. I feel like a panhandler begging for food. Not even that its also not safe to be handling money through a window out in the open. 30 may have been reasonable but I wont be coming back. And nothing special either. The Costco one actually tastes a tad better. Whats the point.

"Cheese" pie review: (Update: Unfortunately, as of this…read morewriting, their shop is closed for a new venture). Moving into this location in 2021 from their original Chinatown location at 235 Spadina, and with unique combinations of toppings, we decided to try first their traditional offerings, and then try their unique pies after. They had a very appealing option to order any 6 slices for $36, which we originally planned to use, but they had no slices available that evening, so we had to order a whole pie, and so chose their "Cheese" pie ("tomato sauce, mozzarella," $29 for a Large (about 16"))., and it was, overall, disappointing. Asked for a "well done" and the outer half-inch was very good, but overall the dough was a tiny bit on the sweeter side and offered no char-like flavours and with a generally "gummy" dough/crust with minimal air pockets. The sauce was acidic tasting (likely from the heat of the oven), and plain tasting. The cheese was tolerable but very "one-note" tasting. The pie had a garnish of cheese (assuming it was parmesan, romano, or parm-regg). Overall, would not reccomend their "Cheese" pizza since it was very unappealing and not worth $29 for an approximately 16" plain pie. Their other pies are very unique and unfortunately we cannot try or critique them due to them closing but they are: Butter Jam Jam: ("Organic Raspberry Jam, Butter Cream Sauce, Mozzarella, Balsamic Reduction, Lemon Zest") Kung Fungji: ("Sautéed Cremini, Beech Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Truffle Oil, Tangy Chilli Jelly, Chives") MF Prashoots: ("Prosciutto, Sautéed Cremini, Mozzarella, Truffle Infused Ricotta") The Keanu: ("Maple Smoked Bacon Crumble, Mozzarella, Cream Cheese, Pineapple Glaze, Chives, Black Pepper") Kilauea: ("Jalapeño, Pineapple, Sweety Drops, Tomato Sauce, Cream Cheese, Mozzarella, Chilli Flakes, and Maldon Salt")

My absolute favourite is the Butter Jam Jam. It is the perfect balance of sweet and savoury, with mozzarella cheese and jam that somehow just works. Think of it like a charcuterie board without the meat, unexpected but so good. The guys here are always super friendly and welcoming, and the prices are beyond reasonable. There is plenty of seating inside and out, and it never feels crowded. One of these days I will try their burgers, but honestly the Butter Jam Jam keeps winning me over every time.

I've tried a few places in the city that specialize in Detroit-style pizza so I was curious about Slowhand Pizza. The menu consists of pizzas (which are 9" by 7"), garlic fingers of death (sourdough crust topped with cheese and garlic sauce), caesar salad, and a variety of dips (marinara, hot honey, and garlic). They also have alcohol (a few beers), and Mexican coke. There is also merch available if you want to show how much you love Slowhand pizza! There are no slices available and you do have to choose between the different kinds of pizzas (I don't think you are able to make your own pizza). I decided to try Slowhand Pizza recently as I saw that their feature pizza was with Est Restaurant (another business in Leslieville!). I preordered on Ambassador which was great since I could also choose my pick up date and time in advance. The feature pizza with Est Restaurant was called The B'est, which consisted of sourdough crust, black garlic aioli, house cheese blend, 12 hour braised beef, and caramelized onion, topped with est jus and parsley. I arrived at my pick up time where staff were friendly. My pizza was already made and ready for pick up which was great. I noticed that there is a small section in the restaurant if you'd like to have your pizza there. They also have a small patio at the front when the weather is warmer. In terms of the pizza, I ate it later that day. It was delicious! The braised beef was definitely the highlight of the pizza. Along with the caramelized onion and est jus, it was one tasty pizza. The pizza was also a good size where I could only finish 2 slices before getting full. Overall, a great option in the Leslieville area for Detroit-style pizza. The feature pizza I had was delicious and I hope to return to try their more popular pizzas next time!

Haven't tried the cookies yet from Courage cookies but if it's affiliated with Kindred then should be top notch. Not sure if you can call ahead to order but I was able to do this by sending them a DM using Instagram.

The best part about this place is the very friendly, warm service. Amazing people. My biggest critique is the pizza and the veggie in particular. The pizza is watery and this is likely because they put raw veggies on the pizza before it goes in the oven. An easy fix is to quickly sauté the veggie first before baking on the pizza. There was also no flavour. Just very disappointing. Kids enjoyed the cheese but in my view overall it's too pricey for what you get.
