| The
words fat-free are really quite popular nowadays as people
are getting more and more health conscious. However, eight
years ago, when health awareness was not that much of a
priority, a bright young man called Tony Sabharwal came
up with the concept of Magic Oven. Magic Oven is a brilliant
food joint focused towards people with all kinds of taste
buds: vegetarians, vegans, chicken and seafood lovers and
even people with allergies or religious preferences.
This
intriguing place is situated right next to Broadview station.
It’s not really in the downtown core, yet close to
it and accessible by subway. Its mainly a take-out place,
but if you’d like to eat right there, then there is
limited seating for about 10 people. Pizza boxes decorate
the bright green walls and there is a big sign inside the
restaurant that has interesting words like Gluten, Lactose,
Fat, Yeast and Wheat on it. And these very words are what
differentiate this place from others.
There
is a wide range of Gourmet pizzas available for a varied
palate at the Magic Oven. Whether it’s the popular
regular white flour pizza base or the whole wheat that is
yeast free, oil free and sugar free, or the vegan range
for people with allergies or religious preferences, there
is something for everyone. I’m told that the grain
for the vegan base comes from Egypt. How intriguing!
Gluten
free is also available for people who do not want to have
white or whole-wheat base pizzas. Actually all their pizzas
are yeast, oil and sugar free.
Several
types of cheeses are used, i.e. rice cheese, lactose-free
cheese, dairy goat cheese or Asiago cheese amongst others.
Then there is organic mozzarella and Bocconcine cheese that
is like mozzarella.
Besides
the gourmet pizzas, there is a wide variety of pastas and
sandwiches available. Seafood lovers can enjoy the smoked
salmon pasta or even the Smoked Salmon and Capers sandwich.
Magic
Oven is primarily available for take-out and delivery (with
casual seating for 10 people). But they also offer a dining
experience in their Café Next Door! Certainly a place
where there is something for everybody!
