slices of pizza with heaping amounts of shawarma chicken, garlic sauce and hot sauce? for $ 2.50? What’s not to like? Super fun place to bring people on dates. Appearances are lacking but more than made up for by the taste. Don’t expect to be able to eat inside, the physical space is tiny as hell.

I popped in there for a slice of pizza with chicken as many have recommended here. It was AWSOME!!! And $ 2.50??? Wow… I’ll be going back there quite often I’m thinking!!! The pizza doesn’t look all that great but the taste is amazing… And with the chicken on top with garlic sauce… Yeah AMAZING! Did I mention it was only $ 2.50???

Chicken Shawarma pizza is a game changer. XL for $ 15 topped with a box full of chicken. Must have the garlic sauce on top. Everyone should try Chito’s at least once, if not twice in their lifetime.

Let’s start off with saying that this place is incredibly small. However, don’t let that stop you from visiting this place because this place has some of the most delicious pizza. The chicken shawarma pizza is absolutely amazing here, from the dough to the toppings to the garlic and hot sauce, this is one amazing pizzeria. It is however, very heavy so unless you’re ok with feeling sluggish and incrediblely full or you have with you a decent amount of friends, I suggest getting a small.

Chito’s Pizza is a hot closet on Bloor where everything is weird and notable. Spanish namesake, serving Italian pizza, topped with middle eastern shawarma, owned and run by Albanians. This place should be given some kind of CHIN Picnic Toronto Diversity Award. The chicken-piled slice of pizza plus a pop costs $ 3.50, no tax. I haven’t crunched the numbers, but I’m pretty sure it’s a tremendous calorie and protein-to-dollar ratio, so I advise every homeless person to eat there. If you’re not homeless, it feels like you’re getting away with something at these prices. Maybe bring an extra dollar for a tip, or perhaps a fan to cool off the face of the whoever is making your crazy shawarma pizza while standing over an open pizza oven in August. ONESTARREMOVED for the promise of FREEDELIVERY on their signage and flyers that doesn’t actually exist.

Drunk nights that end up here are always good ones. Fresh, fresh pizza. And they LOVE to pile it with stuff. You can get gyro or fresh cut chicken on your pizza slice for something like .75 cents and they put a STACK of it and then they’ll almost always ask if you want sauce on it and that means a ton of this amazing Caesar creamy dressing. It’s just delicious. But for when you’re feeling gluttonous otherwise you might judge them and never look back. Ha

I simply don’t get it. Do people review the bun of their favorite burger joint? The plate that their sushi comes on? People, the questionable slice of za that transports your generous portion of chicken shawarma, garlic & hot sauce is just the vessel. Given your late night Blandsdowne options you should be singing Chito’s name from the rooftops. And all for $ 2.50? Cman. Never mind the noises from your stomach, it’s just trying to give you a high five and say«Hey bro, well done.» 5 enthusiastic stars.

A slice of any pizza topped with a glutinous proportion of chicken, garlic sauce and hot sauce for $ 2.50? Listen, these 3 star reviewers can’t matter; I mean, TWOFIFTY!!! You tell me, where else ur gonna find that?! If you don’t want the stupid dried up slices, order a fresh medium shawarma pizza, it’s only $ 11! So what if the place is small? Take it the fudge home, or sit on a bench by Lansdowne Station and enjoy the ambient sounds of belligerent coffee time crackhead/enthusiasts. I’m kinda surprised that people complained so muchabout the slices being old when pizza pizza is up the street selling mummified slices and panzerottis. Don’t let these caviar palate-having reviewers sway you to miss out on that mind-blowing shawarma slice; Chitos is awesome. 5 stars!!!

I come all the way from mississauga to chitos to get their shawarma pizza when im craving it… Who else would have thought to put shawarma chicken, on TOP of your pizza slice then again top it like a shawarma with garlic sauce, hot sauce, and any other toppings u want… and then their prices are amazinggg u can get 2 slices for like $ 4 – 5? and trust me youll be stuffed, and will not be able to eat for a few hours… Top 5 mom n pop shops in T.O.

A slice of pizza heaped with chicken shawarma and strong creamy garlic sauce… and a pop for $ 3.50. Awesome value, and tasty! I’ve had better pizza elsewhere, but you can’t beat the value offered!

As some of the other reviewers have already said, Chito’s is nowhere near your fine dining experience, but don’t let the appearance scare you off… the food here is pretty good. Just a few steps from the Lansdowne TTC station, Chito’s is a great place to pop in and grab a quick bite to eat. I wouldn’t recommend coming here for sit down, because(1) there’s not much seating to begin with — only stools that face the back/side wall, and(2) you probably want to get in and out as fast as possible to avoid absorbing too many calories from the airborne grease. Although they’re known for their pizza, I only ever tried the chicken wraps. For $ 4(no tax), you get a decent sized chicken wrap with meat straight off the spit. The best part, they have LOTS of toppings(more than 10 if I recall correctly) plus the delicious garlic and hot sauce. Don’t forget to get extra napkins because these things are a challenge to eat, especially if ordered fully loaded.

Dirty, dirty pizza. If you are looking to feel ill, than this is the pizza joint for you. You might as well just drop your slice of pizza into the toilet. I thought that the idea of chicken shwarma topped on my slice would be a nice addition to my pizza… I was clearly mistaken. The grisly chicken tasted as if Chito’s had placed a collection bin outside of KFC and collected all of the left over nasty bits from random parts like chicken feet and beaks. They then slathered the chicken with a gnarly garlic sauce that made my stomach turn just to look at it. However, I had the munchies and I am just pig enough to eat it. If you are desperate for discounted dirty food and indigestion, than Chito’s is the joint for you.

I dropped into Chito’s late one night after reading in the Bloordale Press about their pizza topped with chicken shawarma… my mouth had been watering ever since seeing the photo. I couldn’t find this delicacy anywhere on the menu, but upon request the man behind the counter took a slice of pepperoni and topped it with delicious chicken and garlic sauce… Amazing! I likely wouldn’t have eaten this pizza if it wasn’t slathered in chicken and garlicy goodness — it was a bit dry-looking before being ‘dressed’ — but does any other place offer something like this? Good job, Chito. Good job.

Chito’s always seems to be busy and I honestly just can’t fathom why. Are they crazy inexpensive? Na, not really. I mean, they’re cheap, sure, but not in a good way. I went in hoping for a slice of pizza and quickly changed my mind upon viewing the dry, old slices on offer. I instead opted for a falafel, seeing as they’re seemingly more a shawarma/falafel joint anyway. The falafel was dry, lacked flavour, and was overly greasy. Hm. Not good. The pita shell seemed stale. Also not good. The toppings were sparse and bland. Triple fail. It was cheap, but even cheap doesn’t justify bad. I won’t be back, especially considering we’ve got Curry in a Hurry, Ali Baba’s, and Vena’s all within a stone’s throw distance despite being in another stratosphere of quality.

Ahhhh Chito’s! I live just around the corner from this place and it has served me very well! If you’re short on money and want something filling — go to Chito’s. If you’re in the area and want something cheap and cheerful — go to Chito’s If you want a riduculous amount of food that you are going to eat straight away, go to Chito’s. I tend to stay away from the pizza here though. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a solid pizza. But the chicken shwarma is where it’s at. A big bite of food for under 5 books. Can’t go wrong. My one word of advise is that if you order the pizza with chicken on it, you better eat that bad boy the same night because when I opened up the fridge the day after a particularly heavy night’s drinking, the leftover chicken had gone rock solid. Not good in the microwave! It’s the chicken on a skewer thing that they use for their kebabs and what not. Chito’s chicken wrap — do it!

I enjoy the pizza here, although most times I have visited after the midnight hours they seem to be open. It’s no fancy place and there is no room to sit but it gets the job done.

Chito’s claims they have just about everything in one tiny restaurant that, as far as I saw, has no seating. The pizza at the end of the day was curled up and dry — nothing was fresh, but I was starving. The only thing that made my slice better was by first seeing a woman get a slice with chicken on the top. They carved fresh chicken from the spit and loaded it on top — added garlic and hot sauces, then popped it in a bag. It was great to have late-night, and the service is pretty good — but all in all, the food is tired, dry, and dirty.

Chito’s Pizza is probably best known as the former«Pizza Best» in the shady ‘hood of Bloor/Lansdowne. I’m not sure if the owner is the same as it was when it was called Pizza Best but his name is indeed Chito. I remember ordering delivery from here a bunch of times when my brother lived in the area and a group of us would go to his place to watch Leafs games. The most memorable phone call(a story that my family is constantly asking me to repeat!) went a little something like this: Me: «Hey, do you guys have some sort of special, like two medium or large pizzas plus drinks for under $ 20?» Delivery Guy: «No, we don’t have anything like that, sorry.» Me: «You don’t have any party-sized specials?» Delivery Guy: «The only thing I can offer you is two large pizzas with three toppings each, 15 chicken wings, four pops, cheesy fries and nachos for $ 15.» So ten times the food for 2⁄3 the price? Sold. Quick and reliable!
