The newest pizza restaurant in one Ontario town is the passion project of a renowned Los Angeles-based chef. He's served as a sous chef at L’Orangerie in West Hollywood, worked in the kitchen of two-star Michelin chef Édouard Loubet in France, and at Four Seasons restaurants across the globe, from Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur. These days, he's taking on Durham Region with a new pizza shop called Pizzeria Isabella, named after his daughter. "We wanted Chef to be closer to Isabella — restaurant life means long hours, and now we can pop in to see him anytime," Asal tells us. You can find Pizzeria Isabella at 34 Church St. S. in Ajax, Ont.
