A few doors east of our full-serve Terroni restaurant on Queen West, Sud Forno is the perfect option to grab a bite on the go, with a daily selection of sliced pizza, prepared sandwiches and salads along with pastries and gelato. Using traditional ingredients and methods, our breads are made from high quality grains and flours that we import from a third-generation family run mill in the Marche region. We use our own mother yeast, born by mixing flour with water, left to acidify at high temperatures to obtain a natural fermentation all of which brings you finished loaves so traditional they are “unlike any we’ve ever tasted outside of Italy.”
