Tosto Quickfire

nice unique concept. Simple menu, Pizza is not bad but wow was everything way too salty.
the crostini was covered with some sort of oil herb seasoning that was SOO SALTY i was not able to finish it. i dont mean normal salty. i mean unbearable and inedible salty, almost like the salt shaker cap fell off and it was covered with a mountain of salt which they tried to brush off…
the prosciutto on the pizza was also very salty. That one was expected, but i had to pull some of it off because it was just too much.
I would give them a shot again only because i like the ambiance and i may have experienced a bad batch. I will have to go back to confirm if that is true.
but for now. if you have heart problems or osteoporosis… this place is not for you.

get the bolognese, caesar salad and garlic bread. Latte’s are great too!

I was sceptical of this place after reading he lukewarm Unilocal reviews but my experience was great!
The counter service was easy and the staff is courteous. They give you a buzzer that lets you know when your order is ready. Like all counter-​service you take your own utensils and condiments.
We got the Brasato pizza (‘share’ size for $ 15). The share size is good for two people — 3 square slices each with a generous amount of toppings. The crust is light and flaky — like an in-​between of pizza dough and phyllo. Sunny side egg perfectly cooked and runny. Everything well seasoned.
I think it’s well worth the price. I found that I was paying Boston Pizza-​like prices but for a better quality pizza. Can’t wait to come back and try the other menu items!

The counter service is quick and polite. The décor is lovely and the music is great.
The Romano salad: a generous portion (regular $ 9) but lacking in flavour. It is dressed with a citrus balsamic vinegarette. You could not taste the balsamic at all — only the heavy olive oil they used. When we asked for extra balsamic to touch up the flavour we were handed some premixed dressing that was mostly olive oil. It needed less greens and more of the other veggies.
Brasato pizza (single $ 9): definitely a good bang for your buck. It was absolutely delicious. The crust was a bit thicker than I was expecting but I love thick crust so that was cool. It was perfectly cooked — tender dough, crispy bottom. This gem features a sunny side egg that was perfectly done. My only issue: it was covered with arugula so I had to go searching for my egg. The single size is more than enough for one person.
My dining partner had the funghi pasta ($ 14). A generous portion. The pappardelle was done just right. There was a pile of delicious mushrooms and just the right amount of sauce.

Came for a first and likely last visit. The décor and space was nice and the service was great. It’s cafeteria style where you have to serve yourself with cutlery and then clear away your dishes after.
We got the polpette and the prosciutto pizza. The polpette was mediocre and had a slight freezer taste. The pizza was the better of the two but wasn’t anything special.
Walked in because we like via cibo and thought this would be similar and closer for us but looks like we’re sticking with via cibo.

Great atmosphere and the food is delicious.
The only reason why I didn’t give this place a 5-​star is that I don’t like that you have to get your own cutlery, garnishes and picking up your food.

I actually felt compelled to create a Unilocal account after my experience here. I had no expectations one way or the other before I entered the restaurant.
We ordered our food when we first walked in –as this place is a semi-​serve yourself kind of place. Personally not a fan of this set up. When go out for a meal I would prefer full service.
The food came in a respectable time frame. However, for a place that prides itself on making pizza, it fell quite flat. The pizza sauce was just plain marinara, my pizza had almost no toppings, the crust was puffy and bland. This was the McDonalds of pizza. I could have gone to the metro next door and quick fired up a better frozen pizza.
If you have tastebuds and consider yourself a foodie, skip this place. If you want a place to bring your kids, it’s moderately priced and seems quite family friendly. Yet another lack lustre restaurant in Leaside.

Great kid friendly place to eat with plenty of room for strollers. They have a kids menu which includes cheese pizza as well a very tasty butter pasta with grana padano. Our favourites are the Brasato and the Bolognese — very tasty and huge portions! I mean huge, usually my husband has a hard time finishing one portion.
Each dish is individually prepared fresh and our kids love watching them cook in the open kitchen.

Dropped in here spontaneously last night to try their pizzas, and we were not disappointed. The parking is free, the menu had a wide range of both meat and vegetarian options, the food was delicious, and it’s made right in front of you using fresh herbs/​ingredients. We had the fungi pizza, the margherita pizza, and the caprese salad. The salad was ready in five minutes, the pizzas took maybe 15 minutes. We asked the guy behind the counter a few questions and he was both friendly and helpful. Definitely going to come back.

The only reason they are getting 4 stars and not 5 is because their flat bread pizza wasnt the best. But their veal sandwhich is bomb!

I dropped in the second day since it’s opened. It’s the newest addition to the Metro-​Beer Store complex; I was pleasantly surprised to see this addition. Conveniently located in a complex, there’s heaps of parking and a perfect place to pick up lunch pre or post grocery shopping. I did the latter on a Sunday afternoon. They specialize in pizza (Roman style) and pasta; the menu also has salads and various Italian appetizers as well. It’s a cafeteria style — you order your food and then wait for your buzzer to buzz before you walk up to the counter to collect your order. Price wise, it’s not too expensive. You can get a personal size pizza for under $ 10 and it was quite hearty. As it was only their second day since opening, the service was a little slow. My buzzer buzzed so I went to the counter to pick up my small pizza and instead, was given a ‘dine-​in’ pasta. Anyway, I will drop in a second time to see if the service has improved.
Good for: pizza, take-​out, Italian

Ordered Bolognese 3.5÷5 (could add more meat and flavour)
Carbonara ²⁄₅ (had to add salt, sauce was dry and pasty so you could pick up the entire pasta dish with your fork)
Calamari ¹⁄₅ (rubbery, hard, chewy. Only reason it gets one star is for the sauce with Argula, olives and cherry tomatoes (
Caesar salad side 2.5÷5 (barely there dressing with barely there flavour, croutons were good. Not worth $ 6, maybe $ 3 – 4.

I was looking for a place to eat during my lunch break and I stumbled across two massive orange doors. As I walked in, I was welcomed by very friendly staff and a casual atmosphere. Their menu was simple: pizza, pasta, and sandwiches.
I didn’t want to eat anything too filling, so I decided to try out their Saltimbocca Sandwich and an Americano. The flavors were well-​balanced, meat was soft, and the bread wasn’t crusty. As for the Americano… meh; but I’d definitely come back again to try out their pizza and pasta.
