With the Neapolitan pizza craze, other types have been forgotten - including the standard stuff like Fresh Slice, Panago and Domino's. You also have the ones with a tonne of toppings like Bella and Gigi's, and Hot Oven pizza. Then we found Roma Pizza at Trilussa on Main Street. With a couple of Groupons in hand, we went to try it out. We ended up splitting the 2 pizzas into 4 different types including the Vancouver with smoked salmon and organic mesclun greens. It was covered by a pile of greens. The thin crust was crunchy. Despite the amount of ingredients, it was pretty light. There was enough smoked salmon for the pizza. We had an off-menu item with Tuna, Arugula and Olives. I loved how the peppery arugula and salty olives helped elevate the plain tuna. This pizza also didn't feel heavy. We got both the Attilio (mushroom & mozzarella) and Garbatella (sausage & mozzarella). Possibly due to the mushrooms, we found the Attilio more aromatic where even the cheese had impact. As for the sausage, we liked how it was meaty and easy it was on the fat. There was a slight background spice, which helped flavour plain cheese pizza. When we were done, there was a lot of leftovers. Yes, 2 foot-long pizzas for 2 adults and 2 kiddies was too much food. As prices are on the higher side, you don't need a lot to get full.
