    The crowd had once again assembled around the big screen at the Pizza Ottawa compound to watch game one of the ultimately disappointing second round series between the Ottawa Senators and the Buffalo Sabres. The eBay gods had smiled upon us and provided a reasonably priced projector which in it’s former life had probably been installed in a dark, disused meeting room. A minimal investment at our local home improvement retailer and a few hours work provided us with the big screen.

    Having exhausted our knowledge of local pizza places that would deliver we consulted the Yellow Pages for suggestions. We chose Georgie’s Pizza and Subs, which we remembered having driven past it many times on the way to the apartment of friends on Kilborn Ave. We called up Georgie’s and ordered our usual plain pie (to keep things honest) and were told it would arrive in under thirty minutes. Less than thirty minutes later it arrived, piping hot. The pizza looked very much like the usual “Ottawa” style fare, but we noticed that it smelled like Swiss Chalet sauce. The crust was soft, golden and didn’t flop too badly when picked up. The cheese was well proportioned and golden in all the right places. The sauce was also well distributed on the pie.

    We both took a bite and noticed that the sauce did indeed have some similarities to Swiss Chalet sauce. This was not overpowering, though. One reviewer suggested that the reason for the hint of Swiss Chalet was because of rosemary in the sauce. The sauce was also just a bit spicy, which we both liked. The crust was a golden colour, had a nice texture and a good taste. The cheese was the usual delivery pizza stuff.

    All in all, Georgie’s makes a very decent pizza. While the Senators went on to lose the game (and the series) we still had a great time with a few beers and some good pizza.
