Toronto’s Top Delivery: five best bets in the west

CUSTOM NOODLES
SWEET LULU
A healthier, greener alternative to most Asian food from a takeout carton, Lulu’s signature stir-fries are delivered by bike courier in enviro-friendly boxes.
What to order: The terrific build-your-own boxes, like Hokkien egg noodle with beef and peanut sauce, come with top-quality veg and a choice of eight flavourings, like lemon grass and cilantro ($10).
Delivery zone: South of College between Spadina and Dufferin.
859 Queen St. W., 416-203-2228; plus locations at 350 Bay St. and 471 Church St.

PIZZA FROM A BOX
FBI PIZZA
The owners of Queen Margherita, Leslieville’s favourite pizzeria, have opened a second shop in the burgeoning Mimico ’hood. Instead of thin crusts, FBI makes thicker pies that sustain the trip to your door.
What to order: The design-your-own-pizza menu includes such fancy toppings as prosciutto di parma, Gorgonzola and Ontario porchetta. ($10–$14, plus $3 per topping.)
Delivery zone: Within 10 km of the restaurant.
2336 Lake Shore Blvd. W., 416-251-0101

BRISKET ON A BUN
CAPLANSKY’S
Zane Caplansky’s classic Jewish deli cuisine comes with a side of kitsch via bike delivery or Thundering Thelma, his delivery truck.
What to order: Caplansky’s big hot mess of a smoked meat sandwich is the best bet. Thin slices of rye can barely contain the luscious brisket ($8).
Delivery zone: Delivery zone: South of Dupont between University and Ossington.
356 College St., 416-500-3852

FUSION ROLLS
SUSHI 67
The East-meets-West menu may be off-putting to purists, but creations like Morimoto tuna pizzas are made with quality fish by expert sushi handlers.
What to order: The Manhattan Bridge rolls, stuffed with crab, fried shrimp, salty roe, asparagus and cream cheese, are licked with vinegar, and just the right amount of rich.
Delivery zone: Roncesvalles.
67 Roncesvalles Ave., 647-717-8744

RIB-STICKING CURRY
BANJARA
The southwest corner of Christie Pits is suffused with the aroma of Banjara’s habit-forming Indian cuisine. Delivery is the best way to avoid the long lines in the perpetually packed dining room.
What to order: Avoid fried items, which can get soggy, and stick to the excellent, ghee-rich curries, like the spicy karahi chicken with onion, tomatoes and green peas ($10).
Delivery zone: South of St. Clair between Runnymede and Sherbourne.
796 Bloor St. W., 416- 963-9360; second location at 164 Eglinton Ave. E., 416-486-6644
