Vesuvio Pizzeria & Spaghetti House

Our go to Pizza and Pasta place.
Nothing fancy but good solid place to satisfy your pizza/​pasta craving.

a new level of pizza is what this establishment pushes out of its doors, i’m not sure how they do the tomato sauce, but its addictive and worth doing extra sauce for. always a pleasure to order from this place. the staff are very nice and the service is excellent.
i’d be afraid to be a pizza business within ten kms of this place, cause it seriously kicks some next level dough.

Best pizza in Toronto !! Love the volcano pizza nice heat and the Pie exceptional !! The pasta is amazing try the clam pasta you will love it. Service is fantastic and the wine selection and desserts can’t be beat !!

This was a late night pizza run after a few drinks with friends. By best friend and I used to do the same down on Queen West after clubbing and we had a tradition of getting the same pizza from the same joint. This pizza had a pesto sauce, sundried tomato, chicken, and mushrooms. Vesuvio didn’t quite have something exactly the same, but it was close and quite good. This brings back some great memories. I would love to come and try a sit down meal here because by the looks of the place and the other reviews, this is a good place.

Best pasta in the west end by far! Love love love their ravioli and will always come back to eat. Perfect for a first date. Very reasonable prices for such an awesome meal.

The toppings, sauce and cheese were ON POINT! The veggies are sliced so thin and they throw a heap on that you actually get to appreciate them. The crust is thin which makes the centre flavorful but the ends are pretty crunchy. However, the overall quality and attention to toppings overthrows the crunch! It’s one of those pizzas that makes you smile when you open the box. Plus. Cans of pop are $ 1 each– finally a restaurant that doesn’t rip you off!

Their calimarri is soooo good. Must try! If eat on Wednesday don’t sit by the window. Wednesday happens to be the garbage day and flies would ruin ur meal.

Nice family restaurant. Had the risotto LA fungi and tried a apple salad special. Both were very good abit pricy for the meal but I would come back again

I regularly order delivery from Vesuvio and have always enjoyed their pies. They arrive hot and delicious and have a good variety of toppings both traditional and gourmet. It’s not super-​thin trendy pizza and it’s not fast food pizza — just fabulous old school New York style pizza. They claim to be the oldest pizzeria and spaghetti house which is kinda cool too.

There are lots of places that (for me) fall between average and very good and this is one of them. It was our first time here and we thought we’d try it out. The (awesome female) server who greeeted and seated us (despite that fact that we were 15 minutes early to the posted opening time) was super friendly, helpful and welcoming. She couldn’t have been nicer! Our server was good too. As far as the décor — it’s like the old 70’s trattoria interiors that some of us grew up around, but it’s comfy, we were seated right by the window. I had the risotto special (with asparagus, sausage and shrimp) he had the Pizza Bella (pesto, artichoke hearts, asiago) and it was GREAT! I know quite a bit about the complexities of risotto and unfortunately, there was no flavour in the risotto itself and the rice was still crunchy. Disappointing, since the whole point is for the rice to absorb all of the wine/​broth/​flavours that it is slowly being simmered with. And that was an $ 18 disappointment. The sausage and shrimp were flavourful, but that’s not the point. The prices weren’t cheap, but I’d maybe try it out one more time.

I love the fact that the have Italian beer on draft! most Italian restaurants only have bottles. Now for the Pizza! just really good pizza, amazing well let’s just saying will go back but I have had better.

The food is good but I find is heavy and the presentation I find is mediocre. The atmosphere is very stereotypical Italian restaurant. I’m mainly writing this review however to mention how expensive the food is. It’s ridiculous for average food you can find at any Italian restaurant.

I have had so much pizza in my life. I love pizza. This pizza is the BEST pizza in the city, in my opinion of course. So incredible. Just everything you want in a pizza, they have it, and excel at it every damn time. Delivery, dine in, or take out, this place never fails.

Its real good food. It’s good grub and its excellent excellent service. Always been here, will be here forever. You’ll likely be dead before this place goes out of business. Eat lots. Bueno appetito!!! ciao!!!’

This may be the best pizza in the city. What I love is that they have sit-​down restaurant for a more fancy pizzeria style but still have the normal pizzeria for a simple slice, take-​out, or delivery. And they’re all fantastic in their own way!
I visited the restaurant for lunch and there seemed to be only one server to do just about everything (host, serve, bus, etc.) I just wanted to note that with like 9 tables she did a fantastic job. It’s great to see a restaurant clearly way busier than they expected but they still pulled it off.

This is a great restaurant if your looking for a well made pizza. The Margherita pizza they make has been one of the best I’ve had. The pasta dishes are up to par but just don’t quite have that wow to it. The taste is good but you may need to season it, I free as if the pasta could use a little work. The ambience is fantastic. You walk in and you get that dinner by a candle feel back in room under the stars. The staff is well trained the can be a bit overwhelmed on busy nights so expect a little wait time before you get served
Overall 4 stars for the excellent pizza the stunning ambience and the well trained staff.

Roommate called to order a pizza and the rude employee told her that we were banned from ordering from this establishment. We’ve never called there before, and have been living here two years.
They were unwilling to tell her when this supposed incident happened, or with whom, or whether it was even our apartment or the neighbours’ — no info whatsoever. Berated my roommate, who got very upset at being yelled at by a stranger over the phone.
The pizza here may be good, but we’ll never know. 1 star for their classless employee, at any rate.

I’ve always been skeptical of this place, it seems so out of date with the other trendy estabishments that are popping up on the street, but 50 Unilocalers with 4 star reviews can’t be that bad.
The place is a simple family restaurant. Bring your kids, bring the parents, everyone comes here and is welcome.
The food was pretty good. I just got the speghetti carbonara, which was made simply and to perfection. Just they way it’s supposed to with no twists, with bacon, egg and parm. My mom got the chicken marsala — which I didn’t like very much, but chicken breast isn’t my fave either — it was dry and the sauce was a bit too riich — but she loved it.
Extremely affordable with my pasta running at $ 12,50 and the chicken and $ 20. Maybe even pricier than a certain new italain restaurant down the street.
But now Iknow where I can go for my pasta carbonara fix.
Seems like their pizzas are pretty good too. There’s always a line up for the take out area adjacent.

cheese and meat ravioli
–really good
–made in house
−5÷5
brushetta
–a bit bland
–but i’d get it again!
−4÷5
pepperoni, mushroom and ham pizza
−3.5÷5
–it was good, but i’ve had much better
-$ 13.50 was a decent price for the portion size
service– 2.5÷5
— we didn’t get a bread basket but they gave all the other tables one… is it cause we’re asian?!
–she was only nice when we were paying, but neglectful the entire dinner
–no freshly cracked pepper offered while she offered other tables some
overall, i didn’t like the service so I will probably never come again unless i get my ravioli to go!

Consistent with quality and delivery times.
The Margherita pizza is my ultimate favourite here, if you like spicy ask them to add their special hot pepper sauce into the sauce. YUM.
In my opinion The large pizza is perfect, the party sized pizza is not the same quality or as good.

Une véritable institution à Toronto. Lors de leur 40e anniversaire, ils ont donné de la pizza gratuitement toute la journée ! Vous avez ici côte à côte une pizzeria à emporter italienne où l’on peut aussi commander des sandwichs avec une escalope de veau ou des boulettes de spaghetti et à côté un restaurant classique avec un menu complet.
Situé dans le quartier de Dundas West, Vesuvio mérite le détour ! Non seulement vous pourrez y déguster une tranche de pizza classique, vous pourrez discuter de foot avec les propriétaires ou le personnel. Surtout n’y parlez pas trop de Zidane ;-)
