Hubby and I realized that this is our last New Year’s Eve in our current apartment, so we decided to recreate our very first one here. Back then, we had very little money since we had just married and moved into our first apartment ever. We celebrated that year with Domino’s pizza and Timbits.

True Canadian Pizza from Panago

For our NYE dinner tonight, we decided to switch it up and order from Panago Pizza. I chose the True Canadian, which features tangy tomato sauce, spicy pepperoni, smoky bacon, earthy mushrooms, and a combination of melty mozzarella and sharp cheddar cheese. It is a classic, reliable combination.

Mozzarella Triangles from Panago Pizza Panago website description: A thin breading of tasty mozzarella triangles baked to perfection |
What I really want to focus on are the three Specialty Sides we ordered: Mozzarella Triangles, Stuffed Gnocchi, and Mini Panzerotti. Unfortunately, only the Mozzarella Triangles were acceptable. They were cheesy and crispy, exactly what you want from a snack.

Stuffed Gnocchi from Panago Pizza Light and fluffy gnocchi filled with a rich, tangy cheese blend |
The Stuffed Gnocchi had an unusual aftertaste that we couldn't quite pinpoint, which was disappointing.

Mini Panzerotti from Panago Pizza Panago website description: Mini but packed with flavour - golden pockets filled with gooey mozzarella and zesty tomato |
The Mini Panzerotti also missed the mark because it was mostly bread with very little filling. Plus, the filling that was there was mostly tomato sauce without any of the promised mozzarella.

Churro Bites from Panago Bite-sized churros rolled in cinnamon and sugar with sweet caramel filling |
We finished our meal by trying their Churro Bites. They were alright, but largely forgettable. I want to like Panago, but this was a rough experience, especially since they removed my favorite pizza, the Veggie Korma. I will probably still come back, but I will likely focus only on the pizzas and skip the sides entirely. Or, I might just stick to supporting the other Canadian pizza chain, Pizza Pizza!
For future me, below is a list of things we've had from Panago.
