Pizzaiolo

Stopped here for a quick bite before heading to the art gallery nearby. It’s convenient and fast. I ordered a Canadian slice $ 3.99. They warmed it up and it was satisfying. Fast checkin/​checkout. There is seating if you wanted to dine in. Most of the tables and seating were dirty and it did not look like any servers were wiping them down after the customers. We sat down in booth, they had sports playing on the screens. The washrooms is a single stall, run down as well.

First of all, I LOVE The actual pizza at pizzaiolo. But I HATE the service. We called to order one large party with pepperoni and half pineapple. 30 mins later we get a call asking if pineapple on the whole thing is ok… ummm no. They said they’d give us another medium size pizza no charge. The pizzas arrived almost an hour after ordering. The pineapple one wasn’t cut and was tough and chewy (obviously kept warm while we waited for the other to be made). Consistently rude service over the phone.

Better than some pizza places such as pizza pizza or domino’s but not as good as all of them. The thing is your paying more than all of them. toppings are great but pricey. I can think of 3 or 4 pizza chains that I prefer that are a lot cheaper.

3 out of 5 times they have NOT had my «godfather deep dish» slice. Location is close to work but the staff are not overly friendly or personable. I only go if I’m eating on the run!

Great gourmet pizza. I usually get a slice to go and they plenty of options at the window. I prefer the Sicilian as it has bacon. The slice is a quarter of the pizza and they reheat it in the oven before putting it on a paper plate. The pizza is thin and just crispy enough and always delicious. In a pinch, you’ve got seriously good pizza for about $ 4. They also have a fancy selection of pop, including Pellegrino.

I pop in here when I am on my break volunteering at the AGO. It’s usually the same guys working and they are really, really friendly and smiley. Other than that — it’s got all the same tasty Pizzaiolo varieties you would find at their other locations! But this one has chandeliers. Note the plural: seriously, there are like 10 chandeliers. Classy!

Just visited here last Saturday night during Nuit Blanche and even in the late hours of the evening they spin a mean ‘za at Pizziaolo. I had a Mediterranean-​style slice on a wheat-​free crust and it was pretty killer. There are always a wide-​variety of slices on offer and they were easily able to accommodate a vegan diner in our group.
I also sat here for the first time ever. Pizzaiolo is long and narrow but has lots of seating toward the back. We munched down our slices with enthusiasm. We also saw two dudes that looked exactly like Ben Stiller. Take from that, what you will.

Meh. Ordered the «Capone» — Chicken Breast, Roasted Red Peppers, Mushrooms, Parmigiano, Mozzarella and Pesto Sauce (no nuts) on thin crust. Wasn’t that tasty. Crust was super hard. The tastes didn’t go well together. They also don’t do whole wheat crusts on small and medium pizzas. Pizza Nova’s chicken pizza is MUCH better.

You’d think pizza that came from a chain restaurant wouldn’t be that good, but Pizzaiolo proves that’s not always true. The pizza from this place is yummy, offering vegetarian, vegan and meat-​lover options. Slices are generously sized, and around $ 4 each.
As a vegetarian, I order the vegetarian slices, which are topped with lots of vegetables, sauce, and cheese. The crust is chewy and nicely flavoured, but can be a bit greasy. The vegan slices, which don’t have any vegan cheese on them, prove that you don’t always need to have cheese on your pizza for it to taste delicious. The slices I recommend are:
1. Vittoria: tomatoes, roasted red peppers, zucchini
2.Whole Wheat Veggie: tomatoes, mushrooms, roasted red peppers
3. Primavera: tomatoes, roasted red peppers, grilled zucchini, olive oil parmigiano, mozzarella, oregano
4. Spinotta: spinach, tomatoes, ricotta, mozzarella, parmigiano, olive oil, oregano
In terms of atmosphere, I haven’t been impressed with this location or other locations I’ve been to. I never feel welcomed when I visit here. The pizza wins over the people though, so I’ll be frequenting this place.

Went in, sign said «Open», wanted a slice they had no pizza, no slices. WTF? So why are you open?

Shockingly good pizza.
I mean, okay, despite the fact that they forgot our order and we ended up waiting for an hour and a half for 2 pizzas to be delivered down the street, I have to say, all was almost forgiven as I sunk my teeth into the thin, soupy slices of meatlovers and veggie pizzas. Succulent slices of sausage, crisp pepperoni and golden ham made for the best meat slice I’ve had in a while. Our veggie option came with soft, thin slices of red pepper and tomatoes. With slices so thin, you can easily scarf four. As if that’s something to be proud of.
I’m gonna get skewered for this one, but my gosh, it reminded me of pizza from the South of France. Helluva lot cheaper than Terroni, and, well, almost a shorter wait.

In case you were wondering if this location is as good as the others… it is! I haven’t had a better pie anywhere in Toronto (fancy-​pants places included) and the 2-​topping take-​out special is great. Licensed, too, although they don’t have a huge selection.
