I'm on the hunt for a pizza place in Toronto that makes something similar to Vern's Pizza in Saskatchewan.

I'm looking for that classic Saskatchewan-style pizza with a thick layer of toppings, plenty of cheese, and a generous amount of meat. Something hearty, filling, and loaded from edge to edge.

And before anyone suggests deep-dish or Detroit-style pizza, that's not what I'm looking for. They're completely different styles.

Don't get me wrong, Toronto has some great thin-crust pizza, but sometimes I want something substantial that doesn't leave me hungry afterward.

If anyone knows a place in Toronto or the GTA that comes close to Vern's, I'd love to hear your recommendations!

Spadina and Queen St W location.

House on Parliament really lives up to the hype. Incredible steak frites, super flavourful and beautifully cooked. Delicious compound butter and peppercorn sauce, and the fries were the ideal balance of crisp and soft. I split it with my husband and we also got a caesar salad, which was very tasty as well. Hugo spritz was delicious too. Hadn’t had a steak in a while and it felt well worth the price ($42). The space is also really nice - many different indoor spaces and two beautiful patios.

Wouldn’t have thought to try this place if I hadn’t seen it mentioned in here so many times, so thank you!

I haven't tried their other offerings because I'm a margherita fiend, and this is consistently amazing

Was saddened that Seven Lives in Kensington Market closed earlier this year. Especially loved the gobernador since they started as a stall in the Augusta mini food hall way back when. So was excited to learn they recently reopened as Tres Piggies. Instead of seafood based tacos they’re now focusing on various cuts of pork (carnitas)! They’re offered as tacos, tortas, or with beans and rice.

It’s $15 for three tacos and chose stomach (buche), shank (chamorro), and tongue (lengua). Each taco was loaded with meat on top of their house made corn tortillas. All were very tender and juicy. Also liked how each cut had different accompaniments, such as the buche had black beans while the tongue had pickled peppers and carrots.

Definitely look forward to trying the other cuts of carnitas.

Went to La Unica (6 Bradstock Rd) for a quick bite before heading to a concert at Sobeys Stadium on Friday. This was our first time dining here and we were really impressed. Got 3 tacos al pastor stuffed to the brim, although I wish there was more onion.

Would love to come back and try more dishes.

Homage to the person who posted black sesame treats in the GTA. Black sesame millefoglie from Liliana. To truly enjoy this desert … don’t share - have your own.
