My favorite takeout combo: All-dressed pizza and steak-pepperoni stub!

Mouthwatering summary:  Inexpensive St-Henri pizzeria and diner that delivers great pizza and subs!
Food to try:  MEAT LOVERS' PIZZA!

Ah, the joys of delivery. For those moments when you're just too smegging lazy or busy to get out of the house, having restaurants that are ready, willing, and eager to cook you food and come right to your doorstep to drop it off is a wonderful little luxury. When I get into those busy periods, one of my favorite standbys for delivery is this tiny little pizzeria/diner in my neck of the woods:  La Frita Pizzeria. And truth be told, I have literally never eaten at this restaurant in person. The most I've ever done is walk on down to pick up an order and bring the food home. And every time, it's worth the trip!

Favorite pizza here:  La TOTALE!

Mouthwatering summary:  Cozy, inviting pizzeria that serves thin crust pizzas in the Plateau Mont-Royal
Food to try:  La Totale!

Hello my lovely-wuvleys, how have y'all been? Time now for another installment of pizza review!

So, on an unseasonably warm October night, me and three of my friends decided to eat out on St-Denis Street. With pizza on our minds, we hopped on over to Tomato : La Boite à Pizza and sat on down in their outdoor terrasse to take advantage of what had to be one of the last hot days of the year. Well, it should be, right? There's a limit to how much climate change can change the climate, isn't there?  ... Please?

Ahem. Sorry, had to get that out of my system. So:  Pizza! Or more accurately, thin-crust pizza!

I've been coming to Tomato : La Boite à Pizza for a little while now. Hell, I LOVE it in winter time. It's a cozy restaurant with a warm, inviting decor and atmosphere that's perfectly suited for dining during cold, cold nights. Alternately, in the summer (or hot October nights, as was the case), their terrasse right on the street makes for a nice bustling eating experience. Also: I love the waitresses here - they're always so friendly! As for the food, they primarily serve thin-crust pizzas, apparently made from ingredients purchased fresh daily at the Jean-Talon Market (http://www.marchespublics-mtl.com/English/Jean-Talon/) (I LOVE that place!) provided by LUFA farms (http://lufa.com/en/). I don't know if that means that Pizzeria Geppetto (see my review of that place here: http://mouthwateringmontreal.blogspot.ca/2013/09/pizzeria-geppetto-pizza.html ) also does the same thing since, for me, the pizzas at the two places are pretty comparable. It could just mean that my palate isn't as refined as I think it is, but either way, I like both pizzerias!

And so, here are some pizzas we ordered at Tomato. First, the Calabrese ($14 for a small):
