Pizza Rustica
[?]
416-260-0200
Pizza Rustica hits the sweet spot between the Rogers Centre and clubland, offering an alternative to Dome grub and a solid foundation for a night of crantinis. The decor evokes a late-’90s suburban chain (jalapeño lights), and most of the menu follows suit. The portions are huge: mounds of pasta smothered in hearty sauces fill wide-lipped bowls, and loaf-sized panini ooze rivers of cheese. Calamari rings are beautifully fried and served with aïoli (decent) and Frank’s Red Hot (weird, but it works). The 20 pizzas on offer are reassuringly current. Thin crusts ably support thoughtfully combined, fresh ingredients. Rustica, the house special, is a highlight reel of a Mediterranean market in pie form: sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and slivers of salty prosciutto meld with goat cheese over a tangy, thick blanket of tomato sauce. Equally delicious is the wild mushroom pizza bianca featuring oyster, portobello and button mushrooms in a bubbling mix of asiago, gorgonzola and mozzarella. Service is swift to ensure prompt attendance for either the first pitch or the front of the line at This Is London. Mains $11–$17.
