Long Branch’s Adriano’s Pizza and Pasta boasts of having the fastest-selling and tastiest lasagna and pasta in Etobicoke.

“Sold out every day,” is how owner Adrian Stolaj describes his tasty lasagna. “See, no more. People order and pick up for themselves and family.”

Stolaj says food lovers travel from across the city to his 3329 Lake Shore Blvd. W. takeout restaurant.

“The food is great. I had one lady come here from downtown Toronto to get 20 servings,” he smiles. “She left me a $50 tip. Imagine that.”

Sales was not always this hot for the popular Long Branch pizza maker. A fire at his store about a month ago set him back a few days of business and a loss.

But his loyal fans could not wait.

A Go Fund Me page created by customers Jackie Goodman and Lisa Davis raised more than $8,000 from foodies across the country and the U.S. to help rebuild the store, which is known for helping area charities or people in need.

Stolaj says he is touched by the outpouring of support that he has received.

“One guy called from California to give some money,” he recalls. “It turned out the guy went to Humber College and had a good experience.”

The caller made a sizeable donation in U.S. funds.

He thanks 850 Degrees Pizzeria, at 3455 Lake Shore Blvd. W., for taking a collection from its staff and customers to help repair the shop.

An area businessperson, whom Stolaj has never met, donated a $6,000 pizza-prep table. “It still had the plastic on the counter,” he says.

Another customer kicked in a large microwave that will receive good use.

“The little children from nearby James S. Bell Middle School donated change and their lunch money,” he says. “It was very touching.”

Stolaj would like to thank all the customers and others who helped him get back on his feet after being set back by the blaze.
