Pizza Pino

Probably the best pizza I have ever had! Not sure what else to say.
Give it a try and I bet you will not be disappointed.

A unique pizza experience!
I love dining in retro places, particularly the retro places which are kept clean and this is one of those.
You would walk in and first thing you would notice is that they have classical 70−80s songs playing, you walk a little further and see that all the walls in this place are occupied by photos of historical Ajax. Since I have literally moved to Ajax 2 days ago, i got to learn a lot about Ajax’s history through this! cool.
We ordered a deal of 1 medium pizza and 10 wings, added 3 extra toppings to the pizza and the bill just came up to $ 30, very reasonable!
Now the pizza they have is very different than your normal day to day pizza, they do thick crusts, but unlike other pizza joints, they aren’t stingy with their toppings and cheese. SOOO MUCH CHEESSE! and its high quality too. The grilled chicken on the pizza had flavour as well.
The wings were cooked good and the blue cheese with it went perfectly, but the hot flavour is just frank sauce all over it.
Would definitely be coming back here.
Note: It does take a little while for them to make the pizza.

So, here is my story. My family and I were visiting from Boston, MA.
After driving 5 hours from Montréal, we immediately dropped our stuff off at the Airbnb we were staying and went to the Zoo.
It was 7:30pm and we were tired and hungry. We wanted something fast and decided to order pizza for pick up on our way «home».
So, we order 2 large pizzas which came out to about $ 50 (expensive!)
Drive was about 20 mins from the zoo and they told us 25 mins. So, perfect timing.
We get there and my dad goes in to pay and pick it up. they had not made our pizzas. The lady at the counter told us, she thought it was a prank call and did not put the order it. So, we had to wait a half hour longer for our pizzas. Out number had come up on the caller ID and after we had told her we were visiting for the weekend.
We are all a little hangry at this point. so, basically 1.5 hours later our pizzas were ready.
The pizza was rather disappointing as well. Just too much and heavy slices.
Note to visitors: call from a local number if you want pick up. Now i am not sure if they would have delivered had we called.

Service was amazing, without a doubt. We got the large pizza and wings combo with the pino sticks to start. The pino sticks were great and the hot wings were great too. But I am probably the only person on this page who didn’t like the pizza. Far too much cheese, crust is way too thick, and we just didn’t enjoy it. That being said, my husband had their panzerotti a few weeks ago and loved it. I would go back, but only for the pino sticks or a panzerotti.

Was blown away by service — which isn’t a small feat when you were just picking up food!
Deep dish, NY style pizza just loaded with cheese.
Pizza is delicious, ingredients are fresh and it really is heads and shoulders above your every day delivery.
The only downside for me, and it was a complete personal taste thing, is that I don’t like that much cheese on my pizza and prefer slightly thinner crust.
Yes, expecting your total outrage at the above comment! :P

Love this place. They pile everything into their pizzas. Did I mention it tastes great too?

Cue music: «She was a one-​fork, one-​knife, shrewd Pretentious Pizza Eater…»
Hate to crash the 5-​star pizza party here, buuut… pizza is a personal thing, and personally, Pizza Pino’s isn’t my favourite. They do the thick crust with generous toppings style well, but if you prefer thinner crust and more modest amounts of cheese, specify that when you order.
What I liked: dough was well cooked although it was thick; toppings were generous.
What I didn’t like: personal taste again, but the sauce is a specific brand used at some pizza places that has a bitterness to it, and they’re a bit heavy-​handed for my liking; their usual amount of cheese is A LOT of cheese, so it doesn’t melt into the other toppings but instead kinda lays on top like a stretchy blanket. Overall it’s just too heavy.
I will be back to try thinner crust and all that but in summary, know that you’re getting good North American-​style pizza here. For anything else, go somewhere else.

First time got delivery. Took a hour but was worth it. Pizza was great after eating 5 wings I could only eat a peice and a half I was so full. Lol I’m stuffed but it was amazing!
I got the wh wh crust as we eat clean. To me was a bit bitter tasting so I’d get reg next time maybe. Definatly a amazing Montréal style pizza. Wings are also big and fresh.

Great pizza. Tons of cheese and fresh toppings. The crust is excellent. They have reasonable liquor prices. The pizza is very filling, after 3 slices you’re stuffed.

Fantastic pizza, altho they cover the toppings in cheese which I don’t prefer, but it’s not a big issue. We live around the corner so it’s convenient for pickup, we haven’t used the delivery service. It’s pricier tho, so we don’t order here often. Great pizza, the wings are good, if you show up too early and have a long wait they serve beer. Thumbs up.

Pino’s is the only place my family of 10 can agree on for take out. They get the orders right and everything is hot and fresh. The pile on the toppings and cheese to the point where it seems it is 3 times as much as any other pizza place. You get great value for your money here!

Recently moved into the area and I’ve already had pizza from here half dozen times. Everyone that I know that I’ve given pizza to has said they need to open more locations.
The pizza reminds me of deep dish pizza. It’s not too doughy like Pizza Pizza pizza but not too thin. It’s just right! Having the cheese on top is genius! The toppings won’t slide off like other places.
The wings are also very good. Not too small or big with a good amount of meat on them. The recommendation of honey garlic and hot sauce was one of the best flavours I’ve had.
Staff is always courteous and efficient. Only thing I can complain about is that the pizza can’t come fast enough! I need it now!!! Sooooooo good and worth the wait!

We really need to call this something besides pizza. It is the most amazing pizza we’ve had.
We’ve lived in Ajax for 15 years and have only recently discovered this place. The scope of review for us is limited as we’ve only had pizza there despite their other items.
The pizza is amazing. The crust is thick BUT very light. We had the 3 meat variety each time with differing choices. Absolutely delicious.
The surroundings are very un-​modern, sparse even hut I can’t remove star for that as it seems to add to that neighbourhood independent hand made «pizza place» we all remember as kids.
The staff are friendly and easy to deal with.
It’s about 30 bucks for a 3 topping XL and it takes about 30 minutes to get it. It’s very thick with enough cheese that you’ll never want to order extra. The filling is thick, the sauce home made and tasty buy not dominant.
It’s been an excellent and consistent experience every time. None of us can imagine ever eating a chain pizza again.

We finally tried this place after wanting to for a long time! We were not disappointed. Friendly staff. It’s not in the best location as it is out of the way, but the pizza is delicious! I love a pizza with the perfect ratio of cheese, dough and toppings and they definitely had that. We had their Spivak special with pepperoni, bacon, sausage and pineapple. Their small size looked like a medium-​sized pizza!
While you wait for your pizza, you can have a beer on draught or any other alcoholic beverage since they are licensed to serve alcohol.

Great pizza so much cheese can’t ask for any thing more. Got the meat lovers very filling great little hidden gem in Durham recommend next time you decide to order a pizza think of pizza pinos first you won’t regret it.

Great pizza. Love the mounds of cheese piled on top. Had the Meat Lovers and Pino Special. Loved them both.
Have also tried the calzones. I was feeling adventurous and got The Monster. The thing was ridiculously big! Only got through about a quarter of it. It was good… not great.
Lastly, I also tried the wings. Now these, I was pleasantly surprised with! When I got the wings and noticed they weren’t breaded, I didn’t expect much. To my surprise, they were awesome! Nice size and very yummy. They tasted like actual chicken!
Pizza Pinos really is a hidden gem.

After reading the reviews, we decided to come here for our first dinner after arriving in Canada. We ordered the small veggie pizza which was pretty good. It was very doughy and kind of reminded me of Pizza Hut pizza. We also ordered the pasta with meat sauce and mushrooms and liked it. This dish brought back memories of my dad. :). We also ordered poutines which were ok. The french fries w Service was very friendly. Glad we stopped by!

If I died went to heaven and ate pizza I would imagine it would taste something like pizza pino’s. This is the best pizza place I have eaten at in North America. If you are a fan of lots of good quality cheese on the perfect pizza dough this is the place to go, all of the pictures taken really shows how tasty and cheesy this pizza is.
Overall all I can say is this is the best pizza I have had of all the places I have been to on Unilocal and would highly, HIGHLY recommend making the drive if you are anywhere in the Durham area.
Overall if Unilocal worked on a ranking system pizza pino’s would be first place for pizza.

Great pizza! Fully loaded with cheese but not grease at all. Also the crust is very tasty. The atendente was sympathetic but I felt he could had checked on us during the meal. But overall we had a great meal!

Great pizza. Fluffy not oily. Very friendly service. Had the large 3 topping pizza and 1lbs wings fed 3 people. Very delicious: D
