Sarah Lazarovic—curator of the garage-based Montrose Portrait Gallery of Canada—is painting a portrait of a Torontonian every day. Each Monday, we'll feature one of those portraits here. Suggestions for subjects welcome.

Says Charles DH Crosbie, who submitted the photo at right to our Flickr pool:

Yes, this is how the slice came: a used and soiled "Convenience Size" bottle of Vaseline moisturizer, as found in a Pizza Pizza, bagged slice of pizza; purchased in-store at 8:30PM (EST) 23 February 2008, Yonge St near Bloor St (Toronto, Canada).

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Last time we checked on 178 Bathurst Street, it was just beginning to relive its Bassmint-era techno days with Derrick May at Crosstown, now closed. Since then, things underneath the Queen Street West and Bathurst Street Pizza Pizza have come full circle. Until 1999, Christian "DJ Unabomber" Poulson operated Bassmint, a famous party spot and afterhours that still conjures memories of sleepless nights for...

Will the province take over the TTC? Apparently such rumours are all the buzz in political backrooms. Which are kind of like political bathrooms, except that the backrooms have no toilets or sinks or indeed any serious practical use, which is why they feature so prominently in government. Torontoist's suggestion, from its own backroom: let Pizza Pizza take over the TTC. Then we would at least get Rip-Off Charity Pizza Days more often.

Only fifty years left for sea fish. Unless, of course, we do something wacky and start serious conservation efforts immediately. For those interested in eating ecologically responsible seafood, here is help.

The fridge is empty. The sink is overflowing with dirty dishes. The counter is encrusted with a layer of food grime. Adventuring into the kitchen is a frightening experience. It’s a miracle that the rodents and roaches aren’t in sight. When you’re busy and famished and uninterested in doing household chores and too lazy to go outside, ordering pizza is a wise decision.

Frank e-mailed us a much appreciated heads up about this odd little ad campaign for Pizza Pizza giftcards. Now, Torontoist has been on a couple of dates at Amato's (what can we say, we're a sucker for the old Humphrey Bogart movie posters that adorn the walls of the Queen West location), but we've never really associated Pizza Pizza's garish orange decor with romance. Plus, this hug is so fraught with emotion! It almost looks like a break-up hug, albeit one tempered with the bittersweet parting gift of a Pizza Pizza giftcard.

By now, most everyone in the city knows of the single most unfortunate event in Toronto this year: On Boxing Day, while shopping, 15-year-old Jane Creba was killed by errant gunfire. Six other innocent bystanders were also wounded.

As the TTC's Pizza Pizza campaign ends, they turn the page to Pizzazz. I once was told by a reliable source that TTC Chair Howard Moscoe said they don't have a process for reviewing ideas submitted by the public. This explains why it's nearly impossible to get the TTC on board for amazing ideas like the subway buttons and the Metropass Affinity Program.

The most obvious way avoid trans fats contained in pizza dough is to go with a dough-less pizza. Since the most obvious solution isn't always the most practical, one might try reducing the amount of trans-fatty dough with...

Yesterday, our PM with the same initials admits he needs to focus more on specific issues for the upcoming year. In contrast, Ontario Health Minister George Smitherman admits nothing.

Get ready to be outraged and outpunned: According to the Toronto-based Canadian Restaurant and Foodservice Association, we're all getting bilked, er, we meant "milked" by greedy dairy providers – check out the "cowculator" to see exactly how much. Naturally, Pizza Pizza is leading the restaurants' charge since it is, afterall, one of the largest consumers of mozzarella in the country.
