Jz’s Pizza

Beautiful, modern interior! Staff are very kind. Everyone seems eager to give you the best experience possible. They even insisted on replacing my Coke can because they noticed a dent on the side. Pizza is good and comes at a very fair price! I hope to see this place do well!

Pizza was very good– very fresh and thin crust. Love the fact that it is very intimate and the chef came out to see how we liked the food. The pasta is homemade and my daughter is use to the box kind so she didn’t love it. The chef was kind enough to make her a small cheese pizza instead:). Once they get there wine/​liquor license, 5 stars. Go and check it out!!!

Came by for an early dinner, sat outside and people watched. Service was spotty, we had to wave down our server one to many times, but it wasn’t too bad. Cute space, clean and close to our hotel. Had a pecan cranberry apple salad that was surprisingly filling, the tomato moss app was really good, large roni pie for us, and individual pizza and a philly cheesesteak sandwich with the sweetest peppers. Good experience, wold come back.

Great little spot that’s still under the radar and will be a great local haunt once it has its liquor license. The sandwiches are surprisingly good and the pizza is tasty. The personal touch from the owner’s presence definitely makes for a great impression, too.

Not bad! Ordered the JZ pizza and the chicken pesto pasta. The pizza crust was a consistent thickness throughout, but it wasn’t that chewy/​fluffy which is my preference. Lots and lots of raw garlic flavour though which I liked. Penne pasta had a chewy texture and tasted fresh. The sauce was good too. But I thought maybe both dishes were overly seasoned (for my tastes). I tend to like when the seasoning is more subtle, so that I can taste more of the ingredients themselves.
They’re working on getting a liquor license, so should have alcohol soon!

Poor service and mediocre food. I was busy running errands and wanted quick but tasty takeout so I decided to check out the new Jz’s Pizza. The restaurant is located where an older Pizza Rustica used to be situated on Wellington Street.
Service — I spoke to the waitress on the phone about my take out order. She told me that the food would be ready for me in 15 – 20 minutes, at most. When I arrived around 20 minutes later, she told me the food was almost ready. Nearly 40 minutes after I initially placed the order, she told me the exact same thing — food will almost be ready. It wasn’t until about 50 minutes later I actually got my food. Although I don’t mind take out taking 50 minutes to prepare — especially if it’s good take out — what turned me off was misled that my food was almost ready when it was in fact not.
Food — Quite disappointing. I ordered the Linguine di Mare while my friend ordered the Spaghetti and meatballs. Both were underwhelming — my linguine lacked taste while the meatballs were rock hard for some reason. However, the spaghetti was prepared and flavoured decently.
The only saving grace from my experience was the price. The linguine was $ 15, while the spaghetti was $ 14, which offers a better price option for the Downtown area.

Terrible, Terrible, Terrible. The pizza was bland and their salad looked like brown mush when we got it delivered. Their bacon tasted funny and my fiancée had ordered their ravioli and got 5 pieces which was severely undercooked and had no flavor. I don’t know how this place has gotten such high reviews! If your looking for a Margherita Pizza to look more like a cheese pizza with maybe 4 flecks of basil (not leaves, just little flecks) then this is the place for you.

Definitely a new place. There are empty shelves behind the counter because I believe they are still waiting on final approval for their liquor license.
The food is mostly pizza and pasta, and it is all amazing! Freshly made, fresh ingredients, and well prepared. Wait staff is very attentive and friendly. It is a smaller place though, so larger groups may have a problem fitting, but otherwise no complaints. Has quickly become my favorite place in the Convention Center area!

Ordered a late night pizza here. Service was great, he was really attentive & friendly. However the pizza was bland. Though you can tell they use fresh ingredients, the pizza overall lacked flavor.

Outstanding. Thank you Unilocal.Was delicious. Thin crust lots of cheese and quality ingredients. Would eat here anytime. Was also very fairly priced with excellent service. Loved it.

Great service and fantastic service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. We ordered wings, bruscetta, and the penne alfredo. It was tasty. Definitely will be back.

This place is AMAZING! I don’t even like thin crust pizza, but Jz’s pizza is one of the best I’ve ever had. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful, the staff were friendly and the ambiance was super pleasant. If you are looking for the hot new pizza place in Toronto Jz’s is it, I highly recommend it.

The food was really good. My kids loved the pizza. I had the apple/​pecan salad and it was also very good. I would recommend JZS as a great place to eat.

We’ve been eating pizza and pasta across Canada from Quebec City to Toronto so we tried this great little Italian urban bistro near the Marriott Residence Inn on Wellington. We asked the nearby baristas if they liked it, and the whole crew chimed in with rave reviews. Newly opened by experienced restauranteur-​brothers, the family-​owned nature comes across in great service. Too new to have a website (in progress), the owner graciously explained the menu to me over the phone.
We loved the margherita pizza, braised beef ravioli with pesto sauce (with mushrooms added as suggested) and the meatball sub with a super fresh side salad. In fact, everything was super fresh. The setting is modern-​urban while still being friendly and relaxing. And the prices are very reasonable – a great value. A welcome contrast and great addition to the Entertainment District.
