Beauty Eats
Serving up classic and creative Detroit-style pizza, Beauty Eats makes the must-try pie north of the 401. Legend says Detroit’s pizza was created in 1946 when Gus Guerra, one of many Italians working in Detroit’s automobile industry, wanted to recreate the Sicilian pizza of his childhood. He grabbed one of the blue steel pans used to hold auto parts, which could withstand incredible heat, and went to town. The result: a delicious, rectangular deep dish pizza with a thick crust that was still remarkably light, crispy and chewy (unlike its heavier Chicago-style counterpart). Beauty Eats is dedicated to the proper Motor City method, baking their ’za in blue steel pans with local cheese.
Oliver & Bonacini Café Grill, Blue Mountain
As the weather turns cold, Collingwood becomes a haven for skiers and others seeking the great outdoors. After a blustery hike or downhill ski session with the family, O&B Blue Mountain’s fire-roasted pizzas are the perfect antidote to shake off the chill. Crafted with care in a traditional Wood Stone hearth, these fire-roasted pies come in flavours ranging from classic Marghi (with basil and San Marzano tomatoes) to Green (with basil pesto, zucchini, broccoli and lemon ricotta), if you’re trying to fit your veggies in. There’s something for even the most finicky diners to share and enjoy.
