Last October #TheBaldOne stopped into Amazing Pizza & More. They had opened because the #HalloweenHordes were here, and hordes need to eat too. He enjoyed some excellent Meatballs, in a truly outstanding tomato sauce.
Well now that they are open for good, our Bald & Bold protagonist, along with the respected and generous #WingMan decided to drop in and explore.
The take-out lunch crowd was popping in and out as our duo took seats at the bar. Slices and sandwiches were coming from the kitchen and heading out the door on a warm, sunny Sunday afternoon.
A house Caesar Salad led off the early afternoon repast. It was fresh and crunchy with white anchovy, and generously bathed in a fresh, creamy, savory dressing. Somehow the shaved Parnesan cheese missed it’s cue and came out after the salad was served. Oh well, no worries, all became right shortly thereafter.
Onion Rings have been added to the menu. Hand-cut and battered, these Rings feature a subtle hint of pepper that tickle the palate just a enough to make things interesting in a savory manner.
Meatballs were also in the mix. As you may have figured out, Meatballs are a favorite on this page, and we spend serious time and effort hunting down the places that have a competitive product. Just as important as the meatball itself, is the sauce. A good meatball has to be partnered with a good sauce. The Amazing kitchen knows this, and knows how to do it. Their slightly chunky sauce makes a good meatball partner.
On to the Pizza, the Italian Pie. It all starts with dough, the basic foundation of any pizza. Here it is made fresh every day. The crust is thin, with properly blistered edges, and a little crunch to the bite. The sauce, not exactly the same as that served with the Meatballs, is also chunky(ier) and full of flavor. Our two heroes devoured three excellent slices each, and then resisted the strong temptation to eat a fourth.
Amazing Pizza is a solid addition to the wonderful world of Pickering Wharf.
