For many years, whenever I was driving along Wilson Avenue, to the west of my neighbourhood, I noticed a small restaurant in a strip mall, called Buzz Buzz Pizza Family Restaurant. Despite driving by the location numerous times I never had the opportunity to stop by until a few weeks ago when, ironically, after going to a restaurant in the area for dinner we found ourselves still hungry.
A few of us decided to stop off at Buzz Buzz for a quick bite and to check the place out. It’s a small restaurant, with seven to eight tables, the prices are reasonable, and is known for their Italian food, Greek food, and most of all…their pizzas. Other popular items are their veal parmesan, veal sandwiches, meatball sandwiches, souvlakis, and salads.
Since the pizza on the first visit was absolutely delicious, about a week later, we decided to order the veal parmesan dinner, for delivery. When it arrived we were surprised to see it included a big piece of veal, tons of pasta, garlic bread, salad, and a can of pop for $12.99. The food arrived hot and fresh, however, I was told that depending on how busy they are, sometimes it takes about an hour for delivery. Nonetheless, you can’t beat the price of their items!
Buzz Buzz is a family-run restaurant, operated and owned by a Greek gentleman by the name of Tony. He runs the restaurant with his wife, daughter, and a few other people. Although they are also well-known for their delivery and take-out, they do have regulars in the area that stop by and eat while watching TV. The place also has a liquor license, so if you wanted to, you could grab a beer or glass of wine with your meal. Perhaps the most telling sign about the business, is that every time I’ve been to the restaurant, it’s been consistently busy.
Tony and his daughter are a pleasure to deal with—they are amazingly friendly and are willing to bend over backwards for special requests.
In a day and age when the pizza business is dominated by big chains, it’s nice to find a local, friendly business that provides good food at a reasonable price.
