Insider Edition: The many surprises of the Pizza Safari
We take a trip into a variety of pizza joints across town finding the highs, and the not-so-highs in Ottawa pizza pies.

The idea behind the Safari Series was simply to drop in on eateries that I had seen in passing or had once heard about. There would be no advance research and this meant that things might not always turn out well. Then again, there would be times when I’d be pleasantly surprised. Ultimately it made for a fair protocol.
For those who love pizza, there’s a style for everyone. From the local classic everything-under-the-cheese what I call “Quebec-style” to Neapolitan, to Detroit-style pan pizza to Chicago deep-dish.
