Residents of leafy Dovercourt may be slightly agitated by the endless lines of customers who form in their sleepy neighborhood for this pizzeria, run by chef and sorcerer of slices Ryan Baddeley, but they’re appeased with firsthand access to fresh pies. And magical they are: Three-day slow-fermented dough straddles the realm of a Neapolitan pizza and flaky Yemeni malawah, giving off an audible ASMR snap as you bite in.
And their generous plates (in the $20 range) will stretch your dollar further. Rol San’s new location just opened up the street.
You still have to pay a “pickup fee” if you pick up your own order, which is equivalent to the delivery fee.

At the pass, corporate executive chef Ted Corrado serves up Parisian plats du jour with delicate nods to Canadiana, such as butter-engorged escargot vol-au-vent that’s placed inside a bird’s nest of ethereally flaky house-made puff pastry; pungent foie gras terrine gilded with ice wine gelfoie; and salt-kissed steak frites (sourced from Ontario Woodward Farms) completed with red wine jus. End with quintessential tarte tatin featuring squidgy caramelized apples and butter-caramel sauce.
What this fast food joint lacks in frills, it more than makes up for in flavour, with its delicious and authentic Caribbean fare. For about $10, their small meals come with a protein like spicy jerk chicken, crispy fried chicken or (our favourite) oxtail, and a side of rice and peas — and even their small sizes are quite filling. Round out your meal with add-ons like coleslaw, dumplings and fried plantain.
Sure, they have other things on the menu, but as the name suggests, the dumplings are the real draw here, and with 10 pieces for under $15, you can’t go wrong.
South Core Harbour Eats by Mercatino provides a budget-friendly option for office workers with stations providing tacos, sushi, poke bowls, sandwiches and more all for around $10.
