The story the reviews tell

Garlic fingers arrive as thin, golden strips of pizza dough—the Atlantic Canadian answer to a side dish that refuses to be ignored. Topped with garlic butter, melted cheese, and parsley, they're crispy-edged and aromatic, often appearing alongside pizza and dunked into donair sauce. Sometimes bacon bits scatter across the top, adding a salty crunch. They're casual, shareable, and designed to be eaten with your hands.

What makes this version distinct

Garlic fingers (French: Doigts à l'ail), also known as garlic cheese fingers or garlies, are an Atlantic Canadian dish, similar to a pizza in shape and size and made with the same type of dough. Instead of being cut in triangular slices, they are presented in thin strips, or "fingers". Instead of the traditional tomato sauce and toppings of a pizza, garlic fingers consist of pizza dough topped with garlic butter, parsley, and cheese, which is cooked until the cheese is melted. Bacon bits are also sometimes added. Garlic fingers are often eaten as a side dish with pizza, and dipped in donair sauce.
