It’s hard to drive down Kings Way without noticing the little shack on the corner of Park Street that houses Wise Guys Pizza N Pasta. It feels like it’s been there forever, yet I’d never tried it.
Now that I’m writing for this site, it seemed like a great excuse to finally check it out and write about it!
The first time I ordered a Large Mafioso and a Large Garlic Flatbread via UberEats. This was far too much food for one person, I can’t recall why I ordered so much food, but I got $5 off my order, so maybe I was trying to hit a minimum spend of $30. This kept me going for several meals across into the next day, plus my partner ate most of the garlic flatbread.
Of these two items, the garlic flatbread stood out as having amazing value and quality. The Mafioso pizza was fine but didn’t stick out in my memory too well. I ordered it knowing I wouldn’t have to share it with anyone, so I went for a pizza with olives and mushrooms as I don’t really get those often. Overall though, I was happy enough with it that I did go back again today.
Something interesting I noticed on the box is that it says “we don’t charge for extras” which had not been the case on Ubereats, but I figured about $1 per extra was very cheap compared to most places anyway.
The second time I had the Donnie Brasco with added bacon, feta and garlic and this time I ordered it through their website. Interestingly when ordering through the website, each extra was also up to $1 each and it only allowed me to add 3 items. Perhaps you have to order over the phone or in person to get extras added for free or maybe they can’t do that anymore and the boxes need updating. I should have asked when I picked it up.
This pizza though was excellent. The chilli flakes make this pizza quite hot and the added garlic
I like that the pizza base is very thin, which means fewer carbs and more flavour per bite.
