Cora Pizza

DSC00166 DSC00165 Hawaiian/ Meatlovers / Brio

The ever-lasting pizza rivalry on Spadina and Harbord, Cora Pizza has been competing for the champion of pizza for UofT students (the other being Slice King). This independent pizza parlour has an assortment of New York-style pizza slices, all at a low price (either $3.50 or $4.00 for a slice) and large quantity (the picture above depicts ONE slice and I traded half of mine for my girlfriend’s meatlovers). However, do note that the drinks here are more expensive than usual, with pop at $1.25 and up. Otherwise, Cora Pizza is a definite visit for every UofT student, whether it is for lunch, dinner or late night snack (Cora opens until 4-5am).

The Hawaiian ($4.00 flat) that I got was an usual for me, mainly because I think there isn’t a better Hawaiian out there, especially in the franchises you see (Pizza Pizza, Pizza Hut, etc). Its always filled with plenty of pineapples and large pieces of ham, pineapples being my favourite fruit (is it a fruit?). The slices are also never so oily that you’ll have an breakout after eating a bite, which is always good. The Meatlovers (also $4.00 flat), on the other hand, was pretty average. The amount of ingredients was only a bit more than other places and it didn’t really stand out. BUT! For the price you pay, this is an excellent deal for the stingy, hungry market also known as university students.

NOTE: I've been told that Cora has been closed down recently due to hygienic reasons. So, do go at your own risk! More on the story here.
