Terronis in Toronto

[Giampaolo Gandolfo]

    Terrone (terroni is the plural ) is the derogatve nickname that Italians
fron the North of the country use to insult those from the South. Since
pizzas are a typical dish from the South, "les pizzas de Terronis" may well
mean  tasty pizzas made according to the original recipe (i. e. particularly
good).
I could not give the expression any other meaning.
Sincerely
            Giampaolo Gandolfo
