Introduction
Levant is a Toronto-based restaurant that offers a unique take on Sicilian pizza using global flavors and time-tested culinary techniques. They pride themselves on using high-quality ingredients and a lengthy cold-proofing process to produce the best
pizza in the Bloorcourt neighborhood.
The Focaccia
Levant's pizza starts with a focaccia base made with "00" Italian flour and cold-proofed for four long days. The cold-proofing process allows the dough to ferment slowly, resulting in a more complex flavor and a fluffy, crispy crust.
Toppings
Levant offers a variety of toppings, including classic pepperoni, margherita, and prosciutto, as well as more unique options like za'atar chicken and lamb merguez sausage. They also have vegetarian and vegan options, including a roasted vegetable pizza and a vegan cheese
pizza.
The Sandwiches
In addition to their pizza, Levant also offers a selection of sandwiches. Their sandwiches are made with the same high-quality ingredients as their pizza and are served on freshly baked bread.
The Chicken Shawarma Sandwich
One of Levant's most popular sandwiches is the chicken shawarma sandwich. The sandwich features tender, marinated chicken, pickled turnips, and garlic sauce, all served on a soft, freshly baked bun.
The Falafel Sandwich
Levant's falafel sandwich is another customer favorite. The sandwich features crispy, golden-brown falafel balls, hummus, pickled vegetables, and tahini sauce, all served on a soft, freshly baked bun.
Conclusion
Levant's unique take on Sicilian
pizza and high-quality sandwiches make it a must-visit restaurant in Toronto's Bloorcourt neighborhood. With a variety of toppings and options for vegetarians and vegans, there's something for everyone at Levant.
