Pizza and pasta are my ultimate comfort food.  If it’s cold and yucky out I want to eat cuddle up with my blanket, turn on a great movie and munch on my pizza and pasta.  And my all time favorite pizza place has always been Columbus Restaurant.  I’ve been going here with my family since I was 7 years old because we lived only a couple of blocks away before.  The restaurant is family owned and we are always greeted by the same friendly woman when we walk into the door.

Our usual take-out food consists of a medium Columbus special pizza and the meat sauce lasagna.  The lasagna also comes with a giant piece of garlic toast.  What makes the Columbus special so special?  I think it’s the layering of the ingredients and the combination.  After the crunchy pizza crust there is a layer of tomato sauce, a layer of thinly sliced mushrooms, a couple layers of pepperoni and ham, green peppers, pineapples and finally it is all topped with a layer of cheese.  My favourite layer is the mushrooms!!!  The hint of sweetness in the pineapple also makes this pizza super yummy.  I can always eat a couple of pieces!! @@”

On to the lasagna!!!  Yummmm….meat sauce!!  The pasta is cooked in a nice meat sauce.  There is ample amount of cheese on top.  The garlic bread is more like buttered French bread; therefore, it is very hard.  That is why I love to dip the bread into the pasta.  In terms of prices, it’s pricier than places like Dominoes or Pizza Hut.  A medium special pizza with lasagna is around $28.  I find that the quality of food is really good. Overall, it’s a great meal on a rainy day in Vancouver.
