Il Fornello.

Pizza Fichi
Il Fornello Tuesday Pizza Special!...  I was recently introduced to the tuesday $10 special for any of their pizzas and have been coming back regularly for the deal at the Bayview Village location in North York.  They have a large list of wood oven baked pizzas with a variety of toppings- normally ranging from $11-$17 each.  The one flavour that my friends and I regularly get is the Pizza Fichi, with tons of savoury and sweet toppings including mascarpone, prosciutto, figs, shaved grana padano cheese, honey and arugula.  That mascarpone base sauce is so damn good! Other pizzas featured here are the Pizza Prosciutto + the Pizza Gorgonzola.  The prosciutto pizza is covered with 2 giant strips of that tasty italian ham + artichoke hearts, black olives and peppers.  If you are looking for some INTENSE flavours, try the Pizza Gorgonzola, which is loaded with strong tasting Gorgonzola blue cheese and pears, caramelized onions + walnuts.  I would have preferred the cheese to be a little less strong as it masked some of the other awesome flavors.  Overall pizza tuesdays at Il Fornello is a great chance to taste their pizzas at an affordable $10/ pie.  They are really busy on these days, and do not take reservations on tuesdays because of this special.  Come early (6pm or earlier) and with small groups to avoid waits.
