Royal Pizza

I’ve only ordered delivery from these guys but they are quick and the pizza is alway hot and so good. The girls answering the phone have always been nice too. We are new to this area and have already ordered about 5 times

This place has only been open since Wednesday, and they’re already doing a banging business in pickup and delivery orders. It’s not hard to see why. I’ve always loved pies from Royal, but don’t think to go here unless I’m close. Well, we are definitely close now! It take us five minutes to walk (unless Finn walks himself, then it takes a bit longer ;-))
We went over on Friday night for dinner, expecting a harried wait based on what we had seen at lunch, but it wasn’t bad at all. We got right in. The décor is minimal, with bright paint, high ceilings, and a nice open view into the kitchen. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any high chairs. I have my fingers crossed that they’re going to get some, because an extra squiggly little doesn’t do well in a booster seat for extended periods. They did have crayons and a colouring page with the kids menu on the back, and Finn loved that. He did, unfortunately, get a bit of crayon on the new tables, but it was bound to happen eventually. Shawn did his best to clean it up before we left.
Our server was tentative, but attentive. She made sure to clarify anything she wasn’t sure of before putting our order through. Our water was always filled, and that is something I always look for, especially when it’s wicked hot outside.
We ordered three things: the donair pizza, a classic pepperoni with added bacon, and the kids grilled cheese with fries. Finn loved the fries, but wasn’t keen on the grilled cheese. This confused me until I tasted it: they make their grilled cheese with garlic toast, so parents of picky eaters beware. I, however, loved it, and *accidentally* are the whole thing.
Shawn was excepting the donair pizza to come with a traditional sweet sauce instead of tomato, but it was good none the less. The tzaziki had a really strong cucumber flavour. I enjoyed it more than most.
The pepperoni and bacon was heaven. One of the things I love most about Royal ours is the crust. It never disappoints. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside, thick enough to support the ample serving of cheese… It’s absolute crust heaven. The sauce is also stellar. It’s not full of unnecessary spices or other flavours, just simple tomato tang. It lets the rest of the pizza speak for itself.
This is one of the best places to get a thick crust pizza, and I love that I can just walk over and satisfy a craving whenever I need to, eve for lunch. Did I mention they open at eleven every day? Yeah, it’s awesome. They’re also open until midnight on Friday and Saturday. I thought about taking a star off for the lack of high chairs, but they might still be getting them, and the lovely lady who sat us apologized profusely for it.
Now we don’t have to go to the Boston Pizza across the street. Yay options!
