Jessy's Pizza, Toronto, ON

I had supper this evening at Jessy's Pizza (on Dundas Street W/Roncesvalles Avenue).  Sunday was National Donair Day and today is the first chance I've had to celebrate.

Jessy's Pizza is the largest locally owned pizza franchise operating in Nova Scotia (the first location opened in 1992, a few years after I moved away).  They opened this first location outside of the Maritimes just over a year ago here in Toronto (this location).

I ordered a large donair with just the meat, tomatoes and donair sauce.  I liked that the meat was thickly cut.  It was a tasty messy donair and I went through about 100 napkins!

Gord and I had supper this evening at Jessy's Pizza (on Dundas Street W/Roncesvalles Avenue).

Jessy's Pizza is the largest locally owned pizza franchise operating in Nova Scotia (the first location opened in 1992, a few years after I moved away).  They opened this first location outside of the Maritimes about a couple months ago here in Toronto (this location).  I'd stopped in for a donair a couple weeks ago and felt like having one again.

We both got large medium donairs ... mine had meat, tomatoes and donair sauce and Gord's had meat, onions and donair sauce.  I liked that the meat was thickly cut (some places here in Toronto cut it up small and fry it to heat it).  Our donairs were really saucy and messy.  Gord ate his on a plate with a fork (he doesn't like messy food) and left the wrap (there was a lot of meat!).  I ate mine as they are supposed to be eaten ... picked up like a sandwich.  My hands and face were full of sauce but I enjoyed my donair ... needless to say I used a lot of napkins!  The large donair is quite large and I'd stick with a medium one next time.

I had lunch today at Jessy's Pizza (on Dundas Street W/Roncesvalles Avenue).

Jessy's Pizza is the largest locally owned pizza franchise operating in Nova Scotia (the first location opened in 1992, a few years after I moved away).  They just opened this first location outside of the Maritimes about a month ago here in Toronto (this location).  I'd read that they have Halifax-style donairs so I thought I would check them out.

I got a medium donair with just the meat, tomatoes and donair sauce.  I liked that the meat was thickly cut (some places here in Toronto cut it up small and fry it to heat it).  My only issue was with the sauce distribution ... there was none at the beginning and it was loaded at the bottom (which made it messy and drippy by the time I got there).  Next time I would rewrap it and shake it before I ate it so the sauce is all throughout it.  It was a tasty donair and yes, I'll be back.

Mariah and her husband are newly transplanted from Halifax and run this location.  She was friendly and we had a nice chat.  She took good care of me.
