By the Slice

Good value gourmet pizzas, and good selection if you are looking for veggie. I really like the «Everything But Meat». Counter staff is always friendly when I pick up.

I love this place! The staff are super friendly and the wings are the best. They’re pizza has a thicker crust than I normally like but they have a wonderful assortment of toppings with a lot of unusual toppings (for takeout pizza) like avocado and roasted corn.

Great little pizza spot hiding next to Wendys in the same plaza as the Kelseys and Coras. By the Slice offers up a quick takeout spot for pizza lovers as well as many other items. I say takeout but they do have some tiny little tables if you want to get real intimate while gulping down greasy slices of cheese and bread. Your choice. The menu offers up pizzas with an over emphasis on their chicken items as well. It must be a Canadian/​Northern thing but pizza places always seem to combine their menus with fried chicken.
The pizza here is similar to that of Pizza Hut. They have the thicker crust and base with a bit of a greasier bread. The pizza is a bit thinner than Pizza Hut though and tastier in my opinion. The pepperoni and bacon are by far the best toppings you can get on pizza and they don’t skimp on the toppings here.
The chicken wings are deep fried chicken wings that get coated in sauce or you can opt with sauce on the side (better option). The chicken wings are actually quite large and are reasonably priced. They’re meaty and actually pretty crisp. Hot sauce is just your standard buffalo sauce out of a jar though.
When I want pizza, I tend to go for these non franchise places (or Papa Johns). Places like these offer good food at great value. The prices here are pretty good and the fact that they have every special imaginable leaves your wallet feeling pretty good.

love this pizza place! handsdown BEST EVER. i like thin pizza with lots of variety. i always ask for a little extra cooking so i can have crunch from the crust. gawd. love it here! chicken wings also amazing, comparable to popeyes or kfc. highly highly recommend.

By The Slice is one of the best pizza places I been to. It is a small place nicely tucked away in the plaza. I order here at least once a month for lunch with my co-​workers. They always have killer deals such as 2 medium speciality pizza for $ 16.99 — Their specialy pizzas are amazing as they have around 5 – 6 toppings on it. Southwest chicken and Meat combo are my fave. If you just want to pick your own toppings there is a 2 Medium pizza 6 toppings combined from $ 14.99. Ex-​Large Margherita or 4 cheese pizza for $ 9.99. They surpising also have amazing fried chicken almost like KFC. I actually like it more than KFC and it is cheaper as well. 10 huge Chicken pieces and medium wedges for only $ 12.99. Only thing bad is the plaza parking is horrible as it shared with Wendy’s, starbucks, Kelsey and Mr. Greek. Can’t wait to order from them this Friday.

Solid 3. ice deal if you are in the York Mills /​Leslie area. $ 5.50 for two moderate-​sized slices (both cut into two) plus a drink. Its not pizza I’d drive far to get. Good amount of toppings, but I’m not a big fan of fluffy crust, sweet pizza sauce, and slightly undercooked pizza (I just made it sound worse than it was… I think…)

Do you know anyone that drives 30 minutes just to pick up pizza? I’m that person.
I used to go to university about a stone throw away from By The Slice, and I fell in love with it ever since I had my first bite of no-​cheese grilled vegetable pizza. It’s odd but magical.
Since then I’ve tried almost every type of gourmet slice in the menu. My recommendations are definitely the no-​cheese grilled vegetable, Mexican and Californian.
The prices are fantastic for both the pizza and pop. For about $ 14 you can get two med pizzas worth of pure taste-​bud indulgence.
The establishment is wedged in with several other restaurants and parking can be tricky during lunch. There is also space for about 15 people to sit and eat, but don’t expect it to be peaceful.
Just enjoy it while it’s hot, and thank me later.
