What people say, in short
Renaissance on Dundas West is repeatedly recommended for Detroit-style pizza. One diner praises the paneer tikka, another the mushroom pizza, and others point to its slices. A visitor who brought a group found the food solid and liked the patio setting. Not everyone agrees: one diner finds it too rich and cheesy despite enjoying the crisp edges, and another directly dislikes the pizza.
