Magic Oven

I ordered 4 family size pizzas — Charcuterie Magic, Pesto Magic, Easy As Pie, and Fresh Market Magic, and an order of chicken wings as well. The honey garlic chicken wings were really good but I didn’t think the pizza was anything special. I prefer Pizzaiolo, which is also cheaper. Our order came to over $ 160.
The service is terrible. I ordered 5 creamy garlic dips (which sounds reasonable since we ordered 4 family sizes) and upon delivery, there was only 1 dipping sauce. I called the store to tell told them there was only 1 dipping sauce. They told me to check the bags again and I told them there was only 1. They seemed like they were certain that the rest of the dipping sauces were in the bag and when I had told them it wasnt in the bag AGAIN, that’s when they went to check the order. They advised that I had only ordered 1 dipping sauce. I told them they had made a mistake because I, for sure, ordered 5. They offered to come back to drop it off for us and I asked if we would be charged for it. They said that they won’t charge us delivery for it since they screwed up but they will need to charge for the dipping sauces. I’m not sure how that is good customer service? they shouldn’t even mention delivery charge for a trip they need to make from their own screw up. I told them not to worry about the dipping sauces and that our office will never order from them again.

This is my very picky mother’s favourite (read: only) dinner spot in the downtown area. She is allergic to gluten and dairy, and they have a lot of gluten and dairy free options, as well as using a separate fryer for gluten and non-​gluten, which she appreciates because it means she can have French fries without getting sick after. As for the food… in my mind, it’s pretty meh. Their ketchup has an odd aftertaste, although their French fries are cooked well. Their wings are good, their pizza is decent, and their pasta is edible, although their pasta sauces are a bit too watery for my taste — watery sauces are a pet peeve of mine. The restaurant is also pretty small, but there are rarely more than a few tables filled, no matter what time we come. I don’t mind getting dinner here when my mom comes down for a visit, but I don’t get very excited about it, and I wouldn’t make a trip on my own.

The pizza here is really good. It’s not stone or wood oven quality in terms of cooking flavor. The ingredient they use are higher quality. Overall it was up to my expectations. I also order their fries, which are actually fantastic.
I recommend this place to anyone who likes good pizza. I just wished they server lasagna.

I miss this place. I used to go here once a week while in school in Toronto and it is amazing!!!

I’ve had bad experiences with other Magic Oven’s in Toronto, but this one is really nice. The food is good, it’s cozy and nice looking inside, and they have TONS of gluten-​free options (including pasta, bread for sandwiches, and desserts). It’s my go-​to lunch place when I’m meeting a friend near my work — the only downside is service tends to be a little slow at lunch (you’ll sit forever waiting for the bill if you don’t flag your waitress and ask!)

Great pizza. I’m gluten free and I’m always welcome here. The food is always fresh. I love how they try to be socially responsible with their ingredients. And who doesn’t love an apple for the road after your amazing meal. It’s a tad on the expensive side. So it’s a special occasion place as opposed to a go to spot for a good pizza. But if you haven’t tried this place than give it a try.

This is my second visit. If you looking for organic and healthy food this is the place. Service is a little slow during lunch time. But food is good. Their Pizza and sandwiches are good. Nice ambience. Pricey but then that’s the price you pay for organic food.

I’ve been here once and would definitely go back to try some more items from the menu. Magic Oven offers a range of choices from salads, wings, pastas, pizzas, and sandwiches. I had the mac and cheese which was really good!
*Most items on the menu can be made gluten free or vegan for those who have allergies. There is also gluten free beer (Nicklebrook) and cider available.

Like the alternative choices this restaurant offers for pizza. Few pizza places offer spelt crust and even fewer offer seared salmon (most have smoked). And if you want something vegan? Not only do you have vegan «cheese,» but there’s also tofu. I’d like to see build-​your-​own pastas and tempeh, though.

Out on a walk on a cold day we spotted the Magic Oven located just west of Yonge Street. The place is located in an restaurant that used to be an Italian restaurant that went out of business a few years ago. The menu was intriguing with lots of vegan options. Everything sounded really good with unique pairings.
The place is long and narrow with a window looking south onto Wellesley Street. Entering the place was empty and really quiet, no background music. The atmosphere was sterile and less than welcoming but we sat down anyways, curious about the menu options. While everything was pricey we assumed this was because of the diverse options.
The food arrived quickly, too quickly to have been prepared properly and was immediately disappointing. I ordered the BBQ tofu sandwich and my friend the lamb penne. While the menu reads like a specialized restaurant the servings and quality of the food was more like one would expect from a kiosk in a food court. The BBQ tofu sandwich was simply thinly sliced tofu slathered in a store bought BBQ sauce dressed with spinach and gooey onions under a pita. I was hoping for some cubed tofu and a dry BBQ rub that was then grilled for texture and taste. My friend’s pasta was just as disappointing. I guess we expected too much, but will not be returning to try the overpriced options. It really is just a fast food place pretending to be something more than it is.

Well to be honest I ordered my Pizza with figs and spinach and the Hearty spaghetti to be delivered. Don’t know if this was part of the reason the food was so crappy.
First the pizza. Where was the cheese. I had a dolop on top of the ingredients but all I could taste was the very acidy tomato sauce that tasted as if it was spooned right out of a tomato paste can. The crust was not crispy and crunchy but more soggy and smelled from the cardboard box. Frankly one of the crappiest pizzas I’ve ever tasted.
And cost, holy it’s twice as expensive as the average pizza (got 30% off at Tasteaway)
On to the Hearty spaghetti, which is supposed to be spaghetti with rich meat sauce. Well the restaurant doesn’t even know what meat sauce is.
The ‘meat sauce’ was the same crappy tomato paste that was on the pizza with some pan fried chopped meat crumbled in. Not sauce at all.
Needless to say I would not recommend the food from this place it was god awful.

I think this place appeals mostly to those looking for organic, spelt, gluten free, and lactose free. If you aren’t looking for that, you are giving up a lot of flavor.
I ordered a personal pizza. It was very reminiscent of a homemade pizza made on a flat pita bread. It was surprising that it lacked so much flavor for a premium price.
Otherwise, service was good and drink prices were good.
I’m told the salads and pastas are good — maybe next time? I’d accompany a friend if they had a craving, but otherwise, there’s tonnes of other choices in the area!

This place is kind of cozy and if you’re vegan, its probably a decent choice but if you’re suffering from a major pizza craving and you have no dietary restrictions then stay away.
They have plenty of options for toppings here but I found it wasn’t worth it at all. They’re going for the organic/​gourmet angle here but I don’t care if the tomato sauce is lovingly made with organic vegetables plucked with the utmost care of a thousand vegan fairies, if you’re charging $ 20 for an individual pizza, it better taste good.
The crust was overcooked and it hurt my mouth to chew it. The sauce was pretty bad and overly sour like they just threw tomato sauce on the dough. I asked for additional chicken and there was barely any so that was a disappointment.
The restaurant was at 10% capacity the last time I was here and every time I walk past it, there never seems to be a lot of diners. Service was good but that’s expected given it was practically empty.
They have a good concept but now they just need a better recipe.

I had high hopes for this place after looking at their menu online. Maybe I should’ve paid more attention to all the reviews about how good the pizza is there because maybe I would’ve ordered pizza. But I ordered pasta instead because they had gorgonzola pasta and that sounded delicious. Until I got my food.
The «creamy» sauce was so liquid, it made the dish look like soup with pasta in it. There definitely wasn’t enough gorgonzola in the sauce. Based on how they were cut, the chicken and veggies looked like they were the same ones used for the pizza. Overall, overpriced mediocre pasta.
We also had the garlic bread (not worth it) and the soup of the day (the only legitimately good item in our meal). I really wish I had better things to say about the food, but unfortunately, I don’t. The service, however, is top notch; very attentive and courteous. I wish I could’ve given them 2.5 stars just for that.
I may go back for pizza, it seemed like that’s what most people came in for (dine in and take out).

If your looking for a great thin crust pizza this is the place to visit. A very impressive choice of thin crust pizzas, organic gluten free crusts and again with many options. The Magic Oven caters to are more healthy approach to eating, which is nice to see. The only complaint I have was a Caesar I ordered it’s was billed as hot and sour with a touch of cumin, it was bland and tasteless and over priced at $ 9. All in all a good experience.

Cozy little restaurant that serves organic food. I was pretty full so I just got a sweet summer salad which had spring mix, baby spinach, mangoes, avocado with grapefruit vinaigrette. Salad is pretty typical but I guess the vinaigrette was kinda special. Not worth $ 11 (including tax & tips) if you ask me (I’m cheap tho since salads you can kinda buy at sobeys for $ 5 that I can eat for at least 2 meals)
My friends ordered pasta. Spaghetti with meat sauce and balanced pasta. They said it tasted pretty good. The pasta came with bread (my friends were dudes so I couldn’t take a pic for you guys and they had no idea if the bread was garlic bread or just buttered). Pasta orders are around $ 15-​$ 20 (tax and tips included)
Service was decent. I think would come back to try their pizza!

Food pretty darn good. Staff is friendly, prices are good. The Danforth location is my favourite but when I’m downtown I like to stop in here & get my Magic Oven fix. The menu is great, they have EVERYTHING. Check it out!

Went in to pick up pizza, it wasn’t quite ready, and they had me take a seat, they brought me a glass of water, and even offered to refill it.
The pizza was very big for a large, very tasty and the organic crust and fresh toppings were great.
Will be back again.
Prices are a bit high compared to mainstream, but organic and high quality toppings like fresh pineapple are worth the extra cost.

The pizza and the pasta are both pretty good, I order them online and walk over there to pick them up during lunch they’re always hot and ready. It is a little over priced but the pizza portion is great but the pasta not so much, the atmosphere is awesome and the only downside would have to be the price other then that this place is great for lunch or early diner.

Not bad, not bad.
They don’t skimp on the pricier toppings, which is really nice. I added avocado to my pizza and they put a lot on, not just a few pieces. And they have vegan options, a big plus.
This place will make meat eaters and vegans happy!
Awesome toppings that you can add to your pizza: kale, avocado, sweet potato, tofu… the list goes on… endless possibilities!!!
