Aside from the food, the one thing you'll never forget about Sugo are the portion sizes.  Serving up classic Italian dishes, Sugo is known for their heaping plates of pasta and picture-perfect sandwiches.  All plates are priced between $10-$14 and you can be sure to leave with leftovers.

General Assembly

General Assembly

Alumni from Brooklyn-based pizzeria Roberta's opened up this fast-casual pizza joint on Adelaide. At General Assembly, every stage of the pizza-making process is on display, from making the dough in a temperature-controlled room to sliding the pies into the wood-burning ovens -- the assembly line is vital to obtaining the highest quality product. However, quality ingredients don't dictate high prices here. All pies are priced from $9-$15 including vegan options.

849 Dundas St W

La Palma

La Palma

From chef Craig Harding, La Palma brings So-Cal vibes to Dundas West. There is a grab and go counter but we recommend dining in to get the full experience this restaurant has to offer. Italian style dishes with a Californian influence range from $10-$30. A must-order is the 100 layer lasagna ($24), which has become one of Toronto's many famed dishes.
