Tomas Strulovic, the founder of True Loaf bakery in Sunset Harbour, has been a fixture in the community for more than a decade, delighting locals with his artisanal sourdough bread and pastries. Not content to simply follow trends, Strulovic decided to venture into the realm of pizza, using the same oven that produces his popular loaves to craft his take on Detroit-style pies.
What sets Strulovic's creations apart is his innovative use of baguette dough, a staple of True Loaf's menu for ten years. Drawing on his expertise in bread-making, he married the techniques of two beloved baked goods. The result? A thick, super-fluffy base that serves as the perfect canvas for his toppings.

In addition to expanding his pizza offerings and making them available every day, Strulovic has plans to introduce more savory lunch options and outdoor seating, further solidifying True Loaf as a destination for quality fare in the neighborhood. “With the community's enthusiastic support, it's clear that our foray into the world of pizza is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for True Loaf.
