Happy Thanksgiving
Thank you for building with us this year. We are grateful for your trust, your projects, and your calls, easy and hard alike.
Here is our year in review: what we wrote in the last twelve months, plus one restaurant review from Mike.
From all of us at Construct Legal,

Badiali
Mike Brown, our Chief of Everything, writes a weekly restaurant column on LinkedIn called Law & (what to) Order. This one is about the best pizza in Toronto. Follow Mike for the rest of the series.
This week's Law & (what to) Order is written with the disclaimer that my recommendation is only under a very specific circumstance wherein your company is having a pizza party and you need to decide where to order from because you're tired of Panago and Pizza Nova.
Badiali at Argyle and Dovercourt is hands down the best pizza in Toronto. It has the best sauce, the best crust, and the best pepperoni out there. In fact, the only real weakness with Badiali is if you're a cheese fan (which I am), they're kind of stingy on the cheese for whatever reason. Oh, and I should mention that Badiali is quite pricey, but it's well worth it for a special event or, in my case, any day ending in "y".
They don't really have any "starters" per se, just three different types of salads. As mentioned in a previous post, legally I'm not allowed to eat any other salad besides Jacobs' Caesar salad, so you're on your own here.
Badiali has 11 different types of pizza to choose from, but I usually go with the standard pepperoni pizza ($32). Why mess with perfection is what I say (although the cacio e pepe looks outstanding).
Badiali doesn't offer any desserts, but Andrea's Cookies is right around the corner...
What we wrote this year
Twelve months, ten posts, one theme: Ontario's Construction Act changed on January 1, 2026, and most of what we wrote helps owners and contractors live with it. Tap any title to read the post on our website.
