The place is quite small for a restaurant, though assuming from the stack of pizza boxes ready to use, they have a lot of customers who take their meals to go. It has a rather simple, modern look, with different italian themed decorations spotted across the restaurant. The dimmed lighting gives great ambiance for a pizza place, and there's a window in front of the pizza making table to view the ready-made specialty pizzas.

Everyone shared the whole 2 ft pizza roma for $22.43, though I was a bit too preoccupied with adjusting my camera settings to listen in to what toppings they ordered. They split the pizza between two flavours (can pizza have flavours?), but since they ordered meat flavours, I ordered a slice of cheese and a slice of this seasoned (pesto?) tomato on cheese thing (that I just pointed out when I ordered it and is why I don't know the actual name.) We also ordered some lemonade to drink.

I was being extra-adventurous for my picky taste pallet by ordering pizza with tomatoes, since I've hated tomatoes since birth (probably). Last month I was at Granville Island with my family and ordered something that looked similar to the tomato pizza, and I was tasting it when I was deciding what to order. 

This is the most I've ever liked tomatoes. Ever. Even on my lunch at Granville Island I could taste a distinct tomato taste that was tolerable, but not my favourite. On this pizza, the tomato flavour truly meshed with the rest of the pizza, and it was hard to taste a distinct tomato flavour in all the best ways. I ended up liking this one more than the cheese (my all-time pizza flavour of choice), and that's saying something.

The crust was really good too, and it has a notable toughness to it that I personally liked. I'm a crust girl, and the toughness makes it more apparent compared to usual thin crust pizzas.

I'll be sure to remember Trilussa's for next time, though I doubt I'm going to bring my friends here for lunch because of the price, since there's always a Fresh Slice or Pizza Hut somewhere nearby. But the price is totally worth the specialty pizza.

Don't forget to check out Trilussa's website, as well as their Zomatos page for more reviews.
