Toronto is known for its festivals. From the Jazz Festival to Caribana to OVO Fest, but nothing brings more life to the city than TIFF. So Friday afternoon, our love for movies and food brought Kamiran and I to downtown Toronto for an amazing start to the weekend. First stop was the Roy Thompson Hall to watch Magnificent Seven. First Western I ever watched, certainly not the last. So if you love any classic Westerns let me know!
Our next stop for the day, was clearly to get food. Assuming you watch my snaps on snapchat (bijuleni), the primary focus of our outings is always food. One food though that we always choose to eat at home is pizza. Without having to deal with the mess and fuss of making pizza ourselves, our choice is always Dr. Oetker Ristorante Ultra Thin Crust Pizza. I started eating Dr. Oetker pizzas back in the day of undergrad and honestly haven’t stopped eating them since. So when we found out that Dr. Oetker was having a food truck station for TIFF on King Street, we knew we had to go. Kam’s favourite thing about Dr. Oetker gourmet pizzas is how ultra thin they are and also how they always have just the right amount of sauce on them. No one wants to eat pizza that’s drenched in sauce. Am I right? What I love about Dr.O though is that it truly tastes like a homemade pizza. Dr. Oetker is the real deal. None of that cardboard taste which is usually the case with other frozen pizza brands. Ultra thin crust, fresh tasting veggies, delicious cheese, and well flavoured; I am happy to eat Dr. Oetker any time of the week.
Kamiran and I had a blast at the Dr. Oetker food truck. Kam was too busy devouring the Spinach and Provolone ultra thin crust pizza, while I was double tasking by eating pizza and actually going inside the food truck and seeing a little behind the scenes action. I even got my very own Dr. O hat. Yes, I asked for one and the staff at Dr. Oetker were so friendly, they gladly gave me one. From eating my fave ultra thin crust pizza to chatting with the staff, it was as if I was eating lunch right at home.I personally love the Roasted Veggie and Goat Cheese one, while Kam is all about the Oven Roasted Chicken and Peppers. But I have to admit that all the Dr. Oetker Ristorante Ultra Thin Crust Pizzas taste so good that we usually alternate between flavours when we have it at home.
Overall, I think there is a misconception that frozen pizzas do not taste as good as the real thing, but coming from a family of restaurateurs I can attest that Dr. Oetker pizzas are delicious. I even love serving it to my girlfriends before a girls’ night out. Because the crust is so thin, you never get that bloated feeling you do with other pizzas. And ladies, I think we all agree that there is nothing more annoying than feeling bloated on a night out. Dr. Oetker pizzas fill you up without having the bloated feeling afterwards. Also, great snack to serve with some wine. Have you ever tried Dr. Oetker pizzas? What’s your favourite flavor?

It looks like you had such a fun experience! I'm not usually a fan of frozen pizza, but the Dr. Oetker pizzas have been my favourite for years. They're actually SO good and don't have a "frozen" taste!JackieSomething About That
Right? I love how tastes so authentic as if you made the pizza yourself that day. Lol. Definitely going to be a fave for many years to come.
I always give my kids homecooked meals,but this is a pizza that I always treat them too. You are so right it does taste like an authentic home made pizza.
Haha if I ever have kids they are going to be eating this pizza a lot.
Yes, Eleni! It does look you had lots of fun!Great pics and great pizza!I love the thin crust and the veggie one is my favourite!Great choice for a relaxing Friday night at home!(with no cooking!!!)
I think we all enjoy not having to cook but still eating something that has that homecooked taste. Dr. Oetker is always coming up with new flavours, but I think the veggie and goat cheese will be my fave for a long time to come.
Aw, you guys must have had a blast! Looks like you did on snapchat. That pizza looks soooo yummy too. enchantingelegance.net
Thanks Amanda. We definitely did have the prefect Friday afternoon. Have you ever had the pizza?
