A Toronto restaurateur who made a name for himself with his French bistro is now pivoting to pizza, but French flavours won't be far away. On a trip to the neighbourhood's iconic Danforth Pizza House, Ben had a lightbulb moment. "I began to imagine what a pizza made by a French chef might look like," Ben says. The result is French Pizza, Ben's new concept available for takeout every Tuesday, Wednesday,and Thursday between 5 and 9:30 p.m., as of the time of publication. Taverne Tamblyn's French pizzas are currently available at 1426 Danforth Ave. for takeout by walk-in or call-ahead, and you can even order them on Uber Eats.
