The Urban Sasquatch

I’ve always heard that The Paradise Restaurant on Portage Ave was great for Italian eats. I even had very nice spaghetti and meatballs there before. But I had no idea they delivered so we had to have the pizza.

We tried one of their signature pizzas, with garlic on it – on a side note, get garlic on your pizza more often. It is great – The pizza took about an hour to arrive. The staff was very friendly on the phone and pizza was piping hot when it was plopped down on our coffee table. We were off the races.

Fresh and hot this pizza stacks up. It was tender and chewy. The meat was a little spicy for Xal and didn’t sit well with her, but we both enjoyed the crust and over all cheesiness. It is a nice pizza to eat if you were having a semi formal, casual pizza dinner party.

Cold however, the Paradise Restaurant pizza lost its lust for life. I’m not sure what it was, or whether the sauce and the garlic decided it didn’t want to spend the night and took off, but cold and reheated this pizza just wasn’t as good as other Winnipeg pizzas we’ve eaten in the past.

Over all it was good, I’d order it again, but I may hesitate on breakfast.
