Decided to go for dinner because of the positive Toronto Life review. Boy did they get it wrong. I had the antipasto and Pizza 'nduja. My companion had the seafood scialatielli. We waited for almost 20 minutes for the antipasto to arrive which is unacceptable for a dish that needs no cooking. It finally came, and was just a pile of meat and cheese, with no accompanying olives or marinated vegetable to cut the oiliness of the meats. Then, before we finished the antipasto, the server brought my companions scialatielli. Two of the clams were closed, and when my companion asked for more mussels instead, the server merely said it was supposed to be that way, and brought it to the kitchen to pry them open. The pasta was also undercooked (not just al dente) and the server said that's how they do it. He didn't offer any consolations. Then my pizza arrived. It was mostly a mound of doughy crust, too-acidic sauce, and gloupy cheese. There was hardly any 'nduja (which the sever even pronounced wrong) and it was soggy. The only redeeming factor was a different server who offered us desert and coffee on him, which we politely declined. Toronto Life stated that the pizza was on par with Libretto or Queen Margherita, but it was even close. The menu was typical Italian fare, nothing special. Too bad, it would have been nice to have a place like Libretto or QM so close to my home.

I just want to start by saying the service was amazing. The waiter suggested the best wine for my meal, he was very helpful. They start you off with some fresh in house handmade bread with sides like mushrooms and cooked onions.. Just as our taste buds are tingling out it comes the most beautiful looking pizza I've ever seen. Once I took a bit beauty could not explain it, it was mouth watering. After that I had to have the panna cotta with raspberries which was something I will suggest to all my friends.. I love Pizza e Pazzi.. Going to be checking out the new location soon (675 st clair ave west)

After my visit to Naples four years ago, Toronto seemed like a city void of true pizza until pizza e pazzi came around. Now I have a taste of napoli everytime I feel the urge.
