QIKI Cuisine Check: How to Choose the Perfect Pizza in Collingwood for You!

Most pizza restaurants in Collingwood do it right – woodfired pizza with brick lining. It’s the classic “Italian stove” for pizza, so check to see if your pick has a quality burner. From there, also ask the place if their dough is homemade and where they get their fresh produce from, like olives and tomatoes.! Pizza restaurants in Collingwood are known for quality ingredients; many Italian-Aussie immigrants missed their Mediterranean taste so much they opened groceries alongside their restaurants to serve the community fresh produce!

Finally, you can make sure the blend of cheeses and sauce that go into your pizza match your preference. Some sauces come with cheeses melted in, while others are pure red with basil and olive oil. Pesto and white sauce bases are available at the local pizza restaurants in Collingwood, too. Also, remember toppings! Some of our favorites include the list below:

1. Arugula

2. Mushrooms

3. Roasted Chicken

4. Italian Sausage

5. Spinach

6. Garlic

7. Sea Salt

8. Fresh Basil

9. Oregano

10. Bell Peppers

Getting the perfect combination of 2-23 toppings provides your pizza a flavor balance to the crust, sauce, and cheese. Pick your favorite to mix and match, but don’t feel the need to go overboard: balancing the pizza is key, not overloading it!
