The 2 featured beers of the day on the blackboard would definitely please both ends of the beer tasting spectrum. The <strong>Sparkling Wit<\/strong>, a\u00a0clean and crisp Belgian wheat beer, was quite the contrast to the <strong>ESB<\/strong> (Extra Special Bitter), an English draught that rocks with pronounced hoppy flavour.<\/p>\n<p>Their beer tasting room also offers snacks, such as the pizzas that we were tasting today &#8211; a pierogi pizza with potatoes, caramelised onions, creme fraiche and goat cheese,\u00a0cheekily named <strong>You\u2019ve Goat to be Kid\u2019n me<\/strong>, alongside with <strong>The Fun-Gi at the Party,<\/strong>\u00a0a flour+water pie topped with mushrooms,

Today they featured <strong>Uthappam<\/strong>, which looked and tasted very much like pizza, although the crust was made from gluten-free rice flour and lentils, with one topped with paneer and one topped with chicken, and a side of coconut creamy dip.

And we are tasting:\u00a0the\u00a0<strong>Arrabiata <\/strong>(salami, capicollo, onions, chili flakes and mozzarella) and the\u00a0<strong>Carbonara<\/strong>\u00a0(garlic, black pepper, pancetta and bocconcini). \u00a0The quality ingredients were showcased beautifully. For me, the Carbonara was another winner for the\u00a0<strong>UMAMI<\/strong> experience. And I was loving the crust &#8211; thin but not too thin, holding up the toppings perfectly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10184 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"290\" height=\"193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-12.jpg 2228w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-12-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10183 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-6.jpg\" alt=\"Ragazzi Pizza\" width=\"290\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-6.jpg 2093w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-6-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-6-1024x684.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10182\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-10-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-10-1.jpg 2304w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-10-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-10-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/FullSizeRender-10-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10186\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10186\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707.jpg\" alt=\"Ragazzi Pizza\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_1707-1024x1024.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ragazzi Pizza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2604.0243237367035!2d-123.09149048480596!3d49.25698487932855!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x54867157cbe48027%3A0x337edcc89135147e!2sStraight+Outta+Brooklyn+NYC+Pizzeria!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sca!4v1488928942358\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>ZeroZero Pizzeria<\/h3>\n<p>We headed downtown for our last 2 pizza destination. \u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pizzeria00.ca\/\">ZeroZero<\/a><\/strong> is an authentic Roman style Pizzeria located in <em>Gastown<\/em>. \u00a0Different from the Neopolitan style pizza that&#8217;s all over the city, the pizza crust here was \u00a0thicker, but still exhibited a crunchy and bubbly texture.
