These days, if there’s one thing Toronto loves almost as much as burgers, it’s Neapolitan pizza. And Toronto is about to get a lot more of it. Pizza e Pazzi is set to open a second location on St. Clair West as early as this month, and now Alberta franchise Famoso is set to open two restaurants in Toronto this year.
According to Famoso’s website, one location is coming to Yorkdale mall, while another is currently under construction on Bloor Street, at the site of the former James Joyce Irish Pub.
Apparently, Famoso adheres to the standards set by the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, which — for those who somehow aren’t familiar with the rubric yet — include flour and tomatoes imported from Italy, fior de latte and flash-baking in a wood-fired oven.
The Bloor Street location is set to open this spring, while the Yorkdale location is gunning for the summer.
