So my friend Dave sends me a text message and says, "you gotta try this pizza" and flips me a random website to 'shivkumoto' in Almonte. I say to him, Dave I'm not driving to ALMONTE for pizza. Long story short, I did......
So here's what im going to do from now on, I will be from this day on drive to Almonte for Pizza because this guy DOES IT RIGHT!!! Oh my goodness how good was it? They didn't answer my calls probably because they were so busy perfecting pizza so I ordered on the website - super easy and convenient even on mobile. I got to the pick-up spot and walked to the back and the nicest gentleman was there with my pizza in hand on time. I opened the box at the door because it smelled so good. I finished the first slice at the door and the second on the walk to the car. That's how good it was and I would have finished it but my wife already knew I went to get a pizza!
To the pizza: I got the pepperoni pizza. First bite said it all - perfect chew-to-cheese pull ratio along with the crispy edge of the cupped pepperoni followed by the flavour from the pooled pepperoni fat. Next, the crust - crispy on the outside and light and airy on the inside.
People, this isnt your usual gut hurting Ottawa pizza. This is your stroll along Florence before and Apertivo pizza.
Look, read my other reviews - I don't give this much praise when it isn't due. Don't patronize this place because it's a small business - go there because this is the pizza no one knew you deserved!
I need you to look at the last picture of my review - it's an empty box BUT if you look closely, you will see a corrugated base that the pizza sat on - you know what that is? That's when the people who made it car how it tastes when it gets to you. That pure genius and attention to detail. The base didn't sit in it steam!
So, Shivkumoto, keep doing what you're doing, keep the menu small and make those delicious pizzas! read more
