Had the birthday cake cookie dough and the cookie donut. The cookie dough is good but tastes a bit more like flour then creamy. It's still good but maybe share one as I got a sugar rush/ stomach ache half way through. It's a fun treat to try but not something to have often. The cookie donut was ok. It was drapped in peanut butter, so if your not crazy about peanut butter maybe it's not for you. The cookie on the bottom was good but the donut was a bit dry. There are many other savoury options too. It's just like eating at the CNE.
Macaroni and cheese is my favourite dish in the whole world, so when I had it with fries it was still delicious!! It was empty when I went but everyone was very friendly. I think the portion size is really large for the price too. Very filling and good for sharing!

Hi and welcome to another episode of javing it with Javier. Let's see what we are javing today. Today, I will be reviewing the meat monster deep dish pizza and the tacho smash bag. My girlfriend told me this place serves better deep dish than the one in Chicago but that seems pretty hard to beat because I really enjoyed Chicago deep dish. Anyway, let's dive right into the review.
We were given the taco smash bag first because the deep dish pizza takes approx 20 min to prepare. Tater tots were sprinkled on top of a layer of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes, with a final layer of Doritos underneath. It was jam packed with flavour while the crunchiness of the Doritos underneath complemented it very well. Although it tasted quite good, the bag wasn't very big and would make a good appetizer as opposed to an entree. Then the deep dish came. The crust was nicely cut and pepperoni on top was slightly crisped. I was a huge fan of the slices being pre-cut into equal sizes unlike some pizza places *cough cough pizza pizza*. As I pulled the first piece out, the strings of cheese stayed attached to the pizza. The crust was very crispy and while I really enjoyed the cheese and pepperoni, I felt like the pulled pork didn't fit well with the pizza.
Note that this is a self serve place. So the service rating is as good as how you're willing to serve yourself ;) (my girlfriend said I was an average server so she would have given me a 3, I beg to differ but I may be slightly biased). I have therefore decided that a service rating was N/A.
I feel like the smash bag was too small to warrant $8. The pizza on the other hand looks pretty small, but shouldn't be underestimated. The pizza is very filling for its size. For $13 it is slightly overpriced but will be more than enough to fill one person up.
Overall I really enjoyed my meal here. Is the deep dish better than Chicago's? No, I can't say that, but it was still very good overall. And that's it for today's episode of javing it with Javier. And remember food is life.
