I prefer my pizza with a very thin crispy base...with blackened dough bubbles on the edge. Minimum tomato sauce. My favourite topings are caramelised onions or red onions, mushrooms and peppers.

A restaurant near me serve a pizza to die for...I call it the breakfast pizza. The base is as described above...toppings: no tomato sauce, very thinly sliced potatoes, 2 eggs (cooked on the pizza), bacon and rosemary.

Strange you should mention that. This post is a couple of years old now, but I still haven't got around to sampling the delights...

Where to eat poutine pizza in Toronto

ETA: May have to make a special outing to Bannock in Toronto. Roast duck poutine pizza sounds rather good.

You could, but it'd do you no good, I'm pretty sure wherever this is served is in Canada.

Poutine pizza? Sacre bleu! It doesn't sound good. What next, "sausage and mash pizza"? Just because you can combine great foods it doesn't always mean you should.

Not here...

Everywhere including supermarkets sells fully and partially synthetic oil and have to mark it as such, but as long as its labelled as meeting the uk or european spec your car maker says to use, use the cheapest, its sufficient, just remember to change it when the maker says to.

Maybe not but admit it, if you were really shitfaced you'd give it a go, right?

Not that anyone can actually afford to get shitfaced in Canada, of course.

I'd eat a poutine pizza sober though, but that's just me.

In grenada theres a mixed meat, chips [thats fries to you] and bbq sauce pizza, simply disgusting. However, theres also the half quattro stagioni, and half quattro stagioni, thats 8 segments of those 4 flavours, its strangely interesting - promotes flavour mixing...

Theres also however very thin sliced yellowfin tuna belly, sliced dolphin and soy sauce pizza, no cheese, but marinara, very nice...

What's the word for "less than the sum of their parts"?? Definitely prefer poutine au naturel. Just love the stuff. Pizza too, but who doesn't!

I know, I know, poutine is magical, as is pizza. I still want to try it just once though, to at least satisfy my curiosity. I mean, it might be minging but at least I'll know. Toronto is only a 10 hour drive away, too

I experienced Mac n Cheese Pizza. The pizza had it's usual helping of cheese then mac n cheese baked on top. This was in Madison, WI (of course). Only had it drunk, so can only vouch it was great drunken food.

I've had chicken tandoori pizza which I used to quite like. Especially after a few drinks.
