Notorious BLT Pizza

The Place: Dawson General Store 3130 Dawson Road 767-8669

The Price: $32

The Basics: Pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, DeBruin’s tomatoes, bacon, finished with shredded lettuce, parmesan cheese, and a maple balsamic drizzle

The Lowdown: If you have not yet shopped Thunder Bay’s newest general store, do yourself a favour and pop on by. This Biggie Smallsnamed pizza features a whopping four local food producers. The Bakeshop on Boundary crust is a perfect medium thickness, and it has an ideal cheese-to-toppings ratio, with chunks of salty bacon balanced by juicy tomatoes—so delicious. Thick-shaved parmesan and housemade maple balsamic reduction (using Canada West Maple Products) are two finishing touches that really kick it up a notch. In addition to many hot food items, they have heaps of grab-and-go options as well. Love buying local? This spot has over 36 local suppliers and it’s growing by the week.
