If you ever find yourselves traveling along Highway No. 11, making the long drive across Canada, then make sure you plan a pit stop in the small Canadian town of Longlac, Ontario. Not only is Longlac (meaning Long Lake) a beautiful town full of the friendliest people you could ever meet, it also has the Longlac Pizzeria & Steakhouse which serves up a variety of tasty meals (and the only Bar in town is downstairs which is an added bonus). The owners, Mario and Lynn, are incredibly welcoming and instantly make you feel at home in their restaurant and bar.
For a small town restaurant the menu is quite extensive. It offers everything from pizza, wings, burgers and soups to salad and a few different desserts. Without requiring much encouragement from our friendly waitress, we opted for a large meat lovers pizza and a ceasar salad to share. The salad came out first and we devoured it in minutes. The salad was fresh and crunchy with real bacon chips, seasoned croutons and tossed with an ample amount of secret recipe homemade ceasar dressing and shaved parmesan cheese. The dressing was just creamy enough without being too heavy and had us discretely trying to lick the bowl for leftovers!
The pizza arrived shortly after, nicely served on a metal pizza stand. We were told that we could have the crust in any thickness we wanted, and we opted for "the regular one". It was great crust - and best of all - the rich, home made tomato sauce and copious ingredients covered the entire pizza, from middle right up to the edge of the crust. Perfecto! The chef was more than generous with the toppings. This pizza was covered in more animals than the average zoo, with pepperoni, salami, Italian sausage, ham, bacon, and ground beef all featuring in large quantities. The saltiness of the salami was well matched with the sweet, herbaceous pizza sauce. All of this was held in place with a delicious top crust of melted cheese.We struggled to get through the eight slices of pizza between us and ended up having to take the leftovers away with us. A shame that our stomachs weren't up for the challenge because there were a few great looking desserts that I would have loved to try (not least the chocolate threat cake - not a typo! Also, the lemon meringue pie looked very tempting).
