King David Pizza

I was excited to try this place. I had to wait to place my order since the server went on break. While I waited, I saw a fly land on the onions. I figure I’d ignore it and convince myself it never happened. During the next nine minutes I saw that fly land on a number of other toppings. Since the dish I was going to try would have required each of those toppings, I decided to just turn around and leave. I wanted to give this place a one star since I the fly landing on each topping was unsanitary and the long break the server took wasn’t very client friendly. In fairness I didn’t try their food so I couldn’t judge the most important part of this review. As far as customer service and cleanliness goes, this place gets two stars.

Who doesn’t love thin pita bread? Isn’t that why I ordered a pita? I’m not really a fan of King David’s style. I work down the street and have only ate here once. I thought it was a bit too greasy for me… but I was also pretty thrown off by the bread. Wasn’t that cheap for falafel. I spent most of my time there being jealous of all the kids around me eating really good-​looking pizza slices.

the falafel is fresh and the toppings are the best in the city… great bargain

How has no one Unilocaled King David yet? For a city that loves falafels it’s a travesty that this place isn’t well known.
First, it may be called King David Pizza but these guys are all about the falafels. If you eat a lot of falafels downtown you’re probably used to a few pre-​cooked falafel balls wrapped up in a paper thin pita with a measly amount of toppings and only a splash of sauce. A Kind David falafel is a completely different creation and well worth the trek to Lawrence and Bathurst.
To start, a King David falafel is a bursting-​at-​the-​seams pocket rather than a roll. It’s only fresh, fluffy pita here, none of that paper thin, stale garbage most places pass off. They fill the pocket with freshly made falafel balls, heaps of beautiful vegetables, and finish with tons delicious hummus, tahini, and hot sauce. These suckers are messy so stock up on napkins.
I think part of the difference with these falafels is that they are Israeli style while most falafel places in Toronto are Lebanese style. But don’t quote me on that.
And, King David is no one trick pony, the pizza and burekas are solid as well.
