Agreed - the awesomness that used to be Stromboli had me pretty much running out the door the next time the opportunity to order pizza came up at our household.
For old times sake, I got my favorite - double mushroom and pepperoni! It is authentic like it used to be. Cheese on bottom, toppings on top. Gives the mushrooms that same roasted flavor. Crust is till crunchy yet pillowy inside.
Not a perfect 5/5 though. Modern day times have caught up. Toppings while excellent - we need more dammit! And if you're going to charge me $4 for extra mushrooms, you'd better give me more than an extra handful! Smother it like you used to! My wife was not a fan, she favors the thin crust pizzas and thought it was too bready.
Finally, there's the cost cost - two 12" with the $4 extra mushrooms were like $47 when you put in GST.... spendy....
I'll order again, but it'll take come convincing of the wife. A compromise for Without Papers would probably happen before we order from Stromboli's again...
That and you should be back in Hillhurst dammit!
