I’ve been by before and looked in, but it was always too crowded to try the famous pie at Wanda’s Pie in the Sky in Kensington Market. Until today. All it took was a suggestion from Bill (who treated), plus a rainy Monday to thin the crowd.
Verdict: GREAT pie!. We tried an apple and a cherry so we could taste a bit of each. Tough narrowing the choices because there was blueberry, raspberry and bumbleberry, too. The crust is delicious, fresh and tastes homemade. Generous slices, too. Wanda makes good coffee and Bill pointed out that sandwiches and pizza slices are available if you want more than dessert.
We only had pie, because we’d already lunched at Tokyo Sushi in the Annex. I used to go there with Ben Viccari and it’s become a favourite place for a bento box. I snapped the hand drawn “Sappo…ro” sign because it is new and very funny. The chef means business with that inviting scowl, doesn’t he? I love the TRY It! command, too. All uppercase except for the “t”, for some reason. And look at the attention to detail. Three little arm hairs!
