I've been ordering fried junk from Pizza Shark for a few weeks and liking it quite a lot, but oddly enough I hadn't tasted their pizza until yesterday.
I was walking home from work last night and stopped in for a quick slice on the go. I was expecting the standard Ottawa cheapness: dry crust, sparse toppings and burnt cheese... No way! I had two slices of their ready-made combination (pep-mush-peppers) and was blown away. I'm not exaggerating when I say it tasted like homemade. The crust is just right, moist, fluffy and not too thick. There's a generous amount of toppings and the cheese is nice and gooey with a minimum of greasiness.
I ordered two larges today and they're every bit as perfect as their take-out slices. Cooked just right, very fresh tasting and well balanced. You can eat it with your hands but just barely, nothing like the cardboard crusts of Pizza Pizza and Domino's.
The wings are another surprise hit. They're on par with some of the better restaurant wings, not just bones and sauce.
My only gripe, and it's a small one, is the gravy they use on their poutine. It's some sort of mild peppery thing; it's actually not bad but to this ex-Quebecer, if it ain't rich beef gravy, it ain't poutine.
Great quality, generous portions and good prices put Pizza Shark at the very top of my list for delivery. They're second only to Naples Pizzeria in Hull.
