Queen Margherita Pizza – Baby Point

This is one of the best spots for Napoletano pizza in the city. Consistently good pizzas, good wine and beer selection and great appetizers. We usually try a different appetizer every time we visit, and they’ve all been good so far. The restaurant itself is pretty cool, they took over a bank building and did a good job of the interior, keeping some of the bank’s finishes. The prix fixe menu is a good deal. This is also a family friendly place, you’ll see a lot of kids in there, especially on weekdays. Usually really busy at dinner times. Don’t recommend the pizza for takeout, it’s needs to be eaten while fresh and hot.

I absolutely love this area to walk around in. I had my eye on this place for quite some time as I do take my usual strolls in the area. After some back and forth likes on Instagram, I finally decided to come out to this place with a friend. Luckily, it was a cheat day for me because I WOLFED down the entire pizza. I asked for the simple Margherita pizza… Simplicity at its best. My friend ordered La Scala which was great as well, recommended by the pretty waitress. It was a perfect blend of hot and sweet. The pizza crust was thin and crispy as it should be. :)
The kitchen is of open concept which is nice. I love this idea of seeing how the kitchen prepares your food.
Thank QMP! Dinner was great, tasty and your staff is wonderful.

I dream of this pizza. This is my favourite pizza place. Ingredients are fresh and dough is outta this world.

Went here for lunch on a Sunday, and i was surprised how empty it was. We were the only tabl for at least 30 minutes.
Eventually people did start coming in, larger groups. But this place is quite large and it did not come close to filling up. The oven didn’t even seem like it was on at first.
So we had the margherita pizza and the diavola pizza (hot salami). Both tasted good, decent heat on the salami, crust was crispy. Though I gotta say my jaw started to hurt a bit with all the chewing.
Service was nice, but often times I felt it hard to get their attention even with no one there.
Bathrooms are downstairs, really wished with all this space it was on the main floor.
The Prix fix menu is pretty good if you plan to order a few things, I’m not sure if it’s lunch only or all day. One pizza, one appetizer and one dessert for $ 29. Not bad when you consider a pizza and an appetizer is basically $ 29 already. But is this a $ 29 lunch place for one person? I’d be hard pressed to say it was. Shared makes it more reasonable.

Left: Diavola — fior do latte, hot sopressata and black olives (we opted out of the hot peppers)
Right: Gio Oldschool — fior di latte, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto di parma and arugula
By luck my cousin wanted to go for pizza and me being the foodie that I am I brought her here. Food was obviously fresh to order and tasted amazing. The wait time wasn’t too long, we did get there just after 6pm. The service was good. I believe we were served by the bartender and he was nice. I would give it a ⁴⁄₅ and would definitely go back agains

We went here on the recommendation of some Italian friends who joined us for dinner. We went with the fixed price options and all the appetizers we had were great, and highly recommend the caprese salad.
We had different pizzas and to be honest I was not that much of a fan of any of them. I tried the Blanco pizza with green olives. It was okay but I think I would try the anchovie pizza next week (comes highly recommended).
We also had desserts and again not great fan of any of the three we tried.
So okay, but far more expensive than the food we enjoyed.
Also, the bench seats are hard!

Had the deal of an app, pizza and dessert for $ 30. Ordered the Arancini which was okay, the cinque staggione pizza and it was really good. For dessert I had the flourless chocolate cake with strawberries and ice cream and it was delicious. Only downfall, too many annoying children running around with parents that didn’t care to control them. Will probably return during the day instead next time.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews but this time I must do It and only for helping them to improve service, quality of food and recipes: had arancini who they presented as stuffed with porcini mushroom but they were tasting like a rice pudding ball without any taste. Result: left!
Had beef carpaccio but poor of arugula and shaved parmigiano, nothing to say regarding the topping of oyster mushrooms, because we had to ask for an extra.
Calamari? Well that’s the biggest disappointment tonight: as Italian and also as chef I was expecting calamari rings to delight my craving. Well no rings but pieces of calamari and tentacoles. They Need to review the serving size, it could be 2 nor 3 oz in total. Imagine?
I’m not a big fun of Neapolitan pizza but it was burned. I probably won’t suggest neither return.

I have absolutely no clue why the rating for this QMP (or any of the QMPs!) is not higher.
First, disclaimer: I rarely give 5 star reviews. Also, pizza is ACTUALLY my favourite food ever, so you can bet that I’m discerning about it (and have tried a wild variety of them).
The pizza here is absolutely amazing. Seriously. I am not the biggest fan of cheese, and I’ve only been easing my way into enjoying cheese and meat platters in the last few years, but the cheese on the pizzas here — I will go out of my way to pick up off the plate and shove in my mouth.
The margherita pizza (surprise, surprise) is the real winner. It’s so incredibly simple, as of course, it’s just tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella. But it’s just SO good. \We’ve been here three times now, 2 pizzas each time, and every time, the margherita is one of them. I don’t even really like basil either, but it seems when it’s cooked at high temperatures and eaten on a pizza, it works amazingly.
The crusts here are also perfectly chewy, the middle of the pizza has *never* been soggy, and the toppings work so well. The Calabrese and Diavola pizzas are also great. I haven’t tried one of the white pizzas yet but that’s because a pizza without tomato sauce feels wrong to me, but at the rate that we’re coming here, we’ll eventually have to try every pizza on the menu!
Never had any complaints with the service here, and even on the busiest of nights, they make an effort to get us seated.
It’s a lovely open concept atmosphere, where you share an entire room with all the other patrons and the kitchen itself. When it’s busy, it’s bustling, but despite the openness of the room, you can hear your dining companions perfectly well — and maybe it’s the illusion that happens with big crowds, but it feels almost more private than if you were in a smaller room with less people.
P. S. Prefer the pizza here over Pizzeria Libretto and every other thin crust pizza I’ve tried to date. I haven’t had the ones at Terroni yet but they’re next!

Late night, recommended by friends, pricey…
But what they’ve got is sincerity. This is our pizza, try these combinations please, we want you to have an experience. Not generic… in the prix fixe menu, we had amazing selections, an abundance of arugula (hurray!) and an altogether refreshing late dinner.
It’s a love it or hate it place. Interestingly, all the reviews here are worth reading: if you want cheap fast food pizza, you will not find it here and you will hate it.

The pizza is just ok, and it’s not great value. Service is good. The ambiance is pleasant but on the loud side. Overall I was a bit disappointed.

Excellent service and excellent food! We came here one night and shared the wings and caprese salad, the salad was one of the best I ever had and I eat caprese everywhere I go… The wings were delicious with spicy oil and a creamy dressing for dipping yummy. We got the pizza with sausage and Parmesan, the flavours were lovely and the crust was beautiful. I then alone ate the flourless chocolate tort all to myself, it was so good! This place rocks!

Pizza honestly isn’t that good. You can get better tasting pizza from any fast food joint. I have no idea why the ratings are even this high.
The service was okay, our waiter was nice but the whole place was fake fancy. Like, you go here cause you want to feel fancy but you can’t afford real fancy. Speaking of which, you can seriously get better pizza for this value (or cheaper) from somewhere else — don’t waste your time or money here.

I Love this place!
A pizza é maravilhosa, o atendimento é ótimo e o preço melhor ainda.
Hiper recomendo!

The pizza here is better than Pizza Libretto but not as good as some of the other wood fired pizza joints in Toronto. The crust was tasty, but a bit soggy and undercooked in the centre. Toppings were pretty good. Service was good and fast. I found the room to be extremely noisy — it’s basically a big can filled with people.
If I lived in the neighbourhood, I would probably eat here often without complaints. But I don’t think I would go out of my way to get here because there are better pizza places in the city.

I’m also surprised at Queen Margherita’s lacklustre rating. Ever since I moved to the area everyone has told me how good it is and I finally got to try it recently. I was very impressed with the quality and taste of the pizza.
We arrived at about 6pm on a Friday and did not have a reservation. They were able to fit us in and the place soon became very busy. It’s quite large too.
The pizzas are a little on the pricier side but they are quality with a lot of interesting toppings. There’s a good selection of pizzas with and without sauce which I thought was pretty cool.
I’ll definitely be back at some point.

After hearing so many good things about queen margherita, I finally decided to come here with my family last night. We sat down at around 5ish, so it wasn’t as busy. Because it was our first time there we had a hard time deciding what kind of pizza to get, but our waiter who BTW is awesome gave us his recommendations and we went with it.
Good thing we did because the pizzas did not disappoint! I dont remember what the pizzas were called but one of them was the dominator (which was my fav!) They were delicious, I even ate the crust and I never eat the crusts lol.
After pizza, we got desserts and once again went with our waiter’s recommendations which were the tiramisu and the flourless chocolate cake. Absolutely on point!
One reason why I won’t give it 4 stars is because the service was beyond slow. I’m not sure if it’s because maybe the pizza takes a really long time to make or they had to go through a long tunnel to get dessert ready. who knows lol.
Anyways, I’ll still come back because the pizzas are actually really good and it’s in the neighborhood.

Booked a party of 25 here only two weeks out from the event date and they were incredibly accommodating. There was concern about fitting 25 around the family style table but they made it work comfortably. The staff is great here and they made sure everyone’s food came out quick and hot — even though they can only cook 5 pizzas at once! Apparently each pizza only take 90 seconds to cook but still, there was a lot of care and planning that went into making it work and we appreciated that. We were even able to bring our own birthday cake with no cutting fee. We served it ourselves but they stored it and carried it out :)
The food is exactly what you want in an authentic pizza place. A great menu, not too big but thoughtfully compiled. A reasonably priced wine selection and a great cocktail menu. Thank you again to the staff, you guys made our Mom’s birthday something she will never forget.

I’m not sure why they only have three stars. This was my second visit and I thoroughly enjoyed both.
The service is friendly and efficient. The space and décor is fun and modern. It looks to be a family friendly location as well as suitable for date nights (like ours).
The food is fantastic. There are a number of gluten free friendly options on the menu and they make the best gluten free pizza crust I’ve tasted in a restaurant that I didn’t make myself. Queen Marguerita hasn’t just ordered frozen, cardboard-​like gluten free crust from a manufacturer, they’ve set out to perfect the dough themselves to mimic the glorious Neapolitan style pizzas they are known for. It’s chewy and crispy at the same time and makes me never want to order from another pizza joint again. Ever. The different pies we’ve tried have been incredible. It’s a bit of a hike to get there from downtown and we’ve done it twice in two months in winter temperatures and was our choice for Valentine’s Day. That says volumes. The desserts are decadent — we shared the flourless chocolate cake and the Nutella, salted caramel budino and ate every last crumb even as full as we were.
They take gluten free seriously — they have a dedicated separate oven to ensure as little cross contamination as possible.

I finally made to the Queen Margherita Pizza in Baby Point.
I’m a resident of Bloor West and was very happy and excited to have it added to the neighbourhood last year.
I went on a Thursday night and the place was full of locals from the ‘hood: couples, families (yes, some kids), and small groups of friends, like my 3 girlfriends and I.
The ambience is great — music not too loud, tables not too cramped, casual and classy.
The food? Great! I’m not a huge fan of pizza, but I had to try the Margherita and it went great with my glass of red. My girlfriend’s salad was very generous and delicious. A tad pricey, but hey, it’s Bloor West.
Our server could have been a bit warmer, but we forgave her — we were 4 ladies who couldn’t stop yammering away and may have ignored her a few times when she tried to take our order. (Hey, we hadn’t seen each other in a while, girls gotta catch up, you know?)
It’s a great addition to the neighbourhood, I’m glad it’s here. I just may bring the kids next time.

What a weird (but good overall!) experience I had here.
Let’s talk first impressions. This place was once a scotiabank and it’s so painfully obvious from outside. I really think they should have at least changed the façade or something, what a weird feeling when I saw it («but this is a scotiabank!»). The inside makes up for it though, it’s a large open space with an open concept kitchen and a large bar, which is quite light and airy. It’s very nice!
We had to wait about 15 minutes for our table for the group of 13. It was annoying because we had a reservation, but not a big deal overall because of the large bar with plenty of room for us to wait!
Once seated, I had a chance to review their rather small menu. While small, it was the right size — there are lots of pizza options without it being overwhelming. There are also a selection of crostini!
I had the chance to sample four of the pizzas, the dominator, the tominator, the bird man and one other. They were all excellent, my favourite was by far the tom. We ordered a pizza per person on my half of the table which was right because we are big eaters, but lots of people split pizzas. I also tried some delicious crostini! My favourite was the sweet onion.
The service was great but our server was a bit too chatty /​chummy near the end of the experience, hanging out a bit too long and talking about old jobs. I could have just been extra grumpy because I was ready to go home but it was weird!
Overall a great pizza experience!
