My thoughts:
I have been meaning to try this place for months, and I am so glad I finally made the trek here today! 

I had a kiddie-sized gelato ($2.85, one flavour) of the Ferrero Rocher to start off. It really tasted like the namesake chocolate that is so dear to so many of our hearts! 


My friend had a small ($3.85, two flavours) of the Dulche de Leche and Pistachio in a waffle cone ($0.75 extra). I have never been a huge fan of the former flavour because I find it very sweet, but the Pistachio was very good, as was the cone.

I finished with a hot pizza cone (I know, my meal was backwards). I ordered the Margherita ($3.99), which consisted of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses with diced tomatoes, tomato sauce and basil. The moment I sank my teeth into this, I felt I'd gone to food heaven. The cheese was very stringy, the sauce flavourful and aromatic, the ingredients evidently fresh, and the crust fluffy. Small portion but definitely worth every penny! This was not simply a cone-shaped pizza, it was amazing cone-shaped pizza!!



My verdict: I strongly recommend for the hot cones! Prior to ordering the Margherita, I had asked my server which pizza/hot cones she would recommend. She pretty much listed all of the flavours, and quite frankly, I am not surprised. I’m sure they’re all amazing! In hindsight, I wish I'd dissected the cone and taken a pic of it so that you can get a better idea how stuffed it was with cheesy goodness. The gelato was good too, but it wasn't anything special. Great service to top it all off!
