Ha! Amato's, You Suck!

So, I mentioned once before, while extolling my local pizza place, King Slice, that not only is Amato's pizza highly over-rated, but they also have this habit of jerking their workers around with stuff like no overtime pay, or occasionally no pay at all. Nice.

Anyway, while catching up on the feeds after my awesome Korean Adventure, I came upon this. Apparently, after 3 years, they've finally been fined over $300,000. The article says it's, "one of the biggest fines ever over unpaid wages", and quote they, "committed numerous violations of the Employment Standards Act in connection with wages owed to former employees."

Awesome!

You truely are the king of pizzas

So, my local pizza place, King Slice has these absolutely ginormous pizza slices.
My friend Daniel would always tell me of their hugeness, but I didn't really believe. I mean, I've had Amato's (large but over rated AND poor business practises), Massimo's (really good, and very large), and the places along Spadina and Harbord (Papa Ceo and Pizza Cora), so I thought I knew what a huge pizza slice was...now I understand. We went in and got some slices after we moved into the area, and they're just huge!!! Eating in, they give you 2 plates to hold the single slice, which they slice into 2 if you'd like. Ordering takeout, the two slices get put into a single box, and barely fit.

They are just massive, these slices. I measured the length of my slice to be almost 15 inches, meaning a 28-30 inch pizza went into the oven!!! I decided to take pictures to spread the hugeness.
