Hometown Pizza
Sometimes you hear about how good something is so many times, from so many sources, that you just have to try it for yourself. Such is the case with the Walking Taco Pizza from Hometown Pizza in Brussels. Satisfied customers from Huron East and beyond are quick to recommend many of the take-out spot’s more quirky offerings whenever the subject of pizza comes up, but the enthusiasm surrounding their Walking Taco is undeniable. Online reviews of this particular pizza pie corroborate the claims of deliciousness. All that chatter is enough to make a person curious enough about the Walking Taco to take the trip to Turnberry St in Brussels to see what it is that sets this pizza apart from the rest.
The Brussels location is actually the second Hometown Pizza - the first one is located in Teeswater. The lucky citizens of Bruce County have been enjoying Walking Taco pizzas for many years now, while the Brussels branch only opened in early 2022, making it a relatively new landmark on the local pizza map. Their sharp grey storefront on the town’s main drag is a classic take-out counter, a well-stocked pop fridge in the corner, a row of white cardboard boxes on top of the oven, awaiting pick-up.
The standard Walking Taco comes with ground beef, taco seasoning, tomato, green onion, jalapeños, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. After it comes out of the oven, the specialty pie is drizzled with sour cream, and finished off with a light crumbling of Nacho Cheese Doritos before heading out into the world. If you don’t like spice, leave out the jalapeños - they pack a punch that builds as you munch! Not into ground beef? You can substitute chicken, or even leave off the meat all together for a Veggie Taco.
It’s no wonder this pizza comes so highly recommended - it’s excellent. You would think that a pizza with Doritos on it would have a junk food vibe, but consuming one is a surprisingly elegant experience. The Walking Taco is a portrait of refinement and restraint, pizza-wise. Uniformly chopped toppings are perfectly balanced without being overloaded, and the thin crust is strong enough to hold its own against the combined weight of the toppings without being overly crispy. The cheese joins forces with the sour cream, creating a cohesion among the ingredients that keeps everything neatly on the slice. Each element contributes without being overwhelming. A few Dorito shards may shake loose as you eat, but such is the price of Walking while you Taco.
