Industria Pizzeria And Bar

Gill is back with another Hamilton area restaurant suggestion. This one sounds like it’s right in my wheelhouse. I must tell you about this excellent place downtown I went to last night.  It’s not only a pizzeria, but a bar.  Located at 69 John Street South here in Hamilton, Industria Pizzeria and Bar is definitely …
