We had Xal’s parents over for Thanksgiving this year and we all decided that it would be nice to have pizza on their last day with us. We went with Academy Pizza to go with the Romantic Comedy we were watching. Despite it’s name Academy Pizza is actually on Portage Ave, though I think it may have been on Academy at one point.
We started on a slightly low note. Xal called on a Tuesday evening and casually waited a minute on hold, and then that one-minute turned into seven minutes. I ended up calling back 30 seconds after she hung up and got service right away. We thought this was a bit odd and left a bad taste in our mouths.
But you know what didn’t leave a bad taste in our mouths? That is right, the pizza, Academy Pizza is very good. We got a Canadian and a Super Extreme, which could be the most exciting name for a deluxe pizza ever. The crust was soft and chewy they used a lot of sauce, and the toppings, although a little to finely chopping for me, tasted great. Nice cheese too. It is a great hanging around drinking a coke and watching a movie sort of pizza. But be ready to eat a lot because the crust is thin and you’ll have room for thirds.
What I thought was really neat is the fact that they have Gluten-free pizza dough and whole wheat crust available. I suggest everyone get an Academy Pizza at least once or ten times.
