  1. Was not impressed with AAA at all – their Canadian and Meat lovers pizzas have a very strong curry, halal and tandoori smell/ flavour etc.

  2. For the best pizza you need to go to Windsor or Kingston. KW pizzerias get it wrong on so many levels. Franklin and Dynamite are ok, but still miss the mark compared to what a real pizza should look and taste like.

  3. AAA Pizza and wings – Delicious pizza made to perfection! Quick service and amazing customer service.

  4. Davenport pizza deserves consideration! Great quality (perfect stringy-when-hot cheese, the spicy sausage slices) and friendly service at a very good price.
