Panago Pizza

Great Pizza every time! And, very punctual when you order online ahead! When you need a pizza fix… you can’t go wrong with Panago Pizza. Don’t forget the amazing cheesy garlic bread! Excellent!

Great pizza. Prompt delivery. The only thing I would complain about is that they close too early at nights.

I frequently order from these people and have not been disappointed – ever.
Delivery is prompt – usually less than 20 minutes from placing the order.
Recently I placed an order and it failed to go onward to the Gerrard St. store.
After an hour and a half, I telephoned their head office and learned that their connection
to the store was not working and the Gerrard St. location never received my order.
Profuse apologies and a free pizza for my inconvenience.
These people are very diligent in all that they do and the quality of ingredients
are also an important factor in this rating of 5 stars.
I highly recommend Panago.

Decent pizza not to stingy with the toppings have endless options tons of choices. Sauce and crust are the highlights

Was recommended to try out Panago pizza and I’m so glad we did! I highly recommend their cheese bread, easily the highlight of the meal! Pizza was also very good. Price was very reasonable as well. Will definitely get again when we visit Toronto in a few years!

Panago Pizza is one of my favourite chain pizza stores. I usually get the Veggie Korma pizza and everyone that tries it falls in love with it. Everything tastes fresh and they have an open kitchen so you can see them make the pizza.
The store is small with limited seating (a small row along the window). There are no slice pizzas so you have to order a whole pizza off the menu. It would be nice to see a menu of all the pizzas more visible than just a small 8.5″ by 11″ sheet of paper.
Recommendation: get the pizza delivered and eat it in the comfort of your own home.

The pizza was good enough but it tasted pretty much like a box pizza from the supermarket. So it satisfied a pizza craving but didn’t deliver anything special or interesting. Too bad. However, gotta say it was delivered really quickly!

I don’t know much about authentic pizzas and whatnot but i do know if it tastes good without oil dripping off it and the bread doesn’t taste weird or funky. It’s good pizza to me.
This place is the new king of delivery pizza. It’s close by to me, delivery charge is literally 2.50 dollars, came to my place within 20 minutes, tons of variety pizzas, gluten free bread which they call gluten smart, no MSG, there dipping sauces are tasty too *try the jalapeño ranch* and best of all I can order a medium pizza (3 toppings) 2 dipping sauces and a can of pop including taxes and delivery = 20 $
Try it out. For commercial pizza, I don’t think you will find a better tasting pizza even if the prices were higher, I would still order from these guys, pizza is too good even the gluten smart veggie delite one I ordered last night, it tastes better then original italian bread they use in my opinion or any other leading pizza competition breads (dominoes, pizza pizza, pizza hut etc) I’m going to reheat some of my leftovers now after typing this review. Enjoy :)

Best gourmet pizza chain in all of Toronto. A myriad of exotic pizza toppings highlight their menu from a taco-​inspired pizza to a butter chicken pizza. Pizza sizes vary from personal pan pizza to extra large pies that can be shared by a group. Prices tend to be higher than other chains, but justifiably so as they offer great variety. Locations throughout the city are scarce with many locations commonly located throughout downtown.
Highly recommended for those seeking a change from Pizza Pizza, Gino’s and other mainstream Canadian/​Torontonian pizza chain brands.

Ah good old reliable Panagopoulos (at least that was your name) — you held the distinction for being the best pizza chain in the GVRD (until Uncle Fatih’s started expanding). I have probably eaten an ungodly amount of Panago in my years — I don’t know how many Goldeneye/​Counter-​Strike gaming nights they’ve ‘catered’. In addition, my old company used to treat everyone to free pizza bi-​weekly. Thankfully, they switched over to Panago after everyone was complaining about the free Freshslice (another GVRD pizza chain opening here — stay the fuck away, it’s barely edible — it’s like eating a circle of hot garbage).
Solid fresh toppings and most of their pizzas choices seem to be created with some care to the final taste, rather than just haphazardly changing 2 or 3 toppings on the same old tomato sauce. So you can grab butter/​chipotle/​buffalo chicken sauce or even coconut curry sauce. Despite the funky flavours, it’s more your traditional pizza joint — you order your pie for pick-​up or delivery — there are no heat lamped slices here.
Glad that there’s a Panago so close to my place. However, it’s still not Uncle Fatih’s — which I have drunkenly compared to receiving fellatio from a deity (dat sesame crust). But Panago is damned solid for a pizza chain.

The only pizza in Toronto that doesn’t suck.
When I moved to Canada, I was horrified at the stuff that is often consumed under the name of «pizza». After 15 years, I’ve finally found a pizza in the city worth eating.
The crust tastes great (note, it has taste unlike the cardboard crust found at other chains) and has a nice texture. The toppings are amazing – so many choices. You can tell they’re actually fresh.
As a vegetarian, I appreciate the many options for us… even veggie pepperoni. My favorite is the Primo Vegetarian. I love the pesto in place of marinara. Ok, so I have no idea if the meat is good, but it’s ok… you’d make your mamma proud by eating veggies. They do have several interesting options for carnivores, I’m sure some of them must be yummy.
I wish I hadn’t started writing this review… now I want to order a pizza!

This is some of the best chain pizza in the city. Quality toppings that have been placed liberally on a crisp crust. You pay a little more, but when you’re in the mood, it’s well worth it. A couple of winners are the Chipotle Chicken and the Philly Steak, but I’m certain that there are many more.

The pizza here at Panago is fresh and affordable, but it’s not that great.
My friend and I had our dinner here last night.
I ordered:
— Shrimp Club 8″ personal pizza ($ 5). Its ingredients were: wild pink shrimp, bacon, tomato, purple onions, tomato, & mozzarella.
— Chicken Wings, Tikka Masala flavour ($ 6).
The pizza had decent ingredients, but I wasn’t a fan of the crust. It tasted like that of a fast food pizza chain’s crust. The wings, however, were good. If I return, I’ll just stick with the wings. The Indian tikka masala flavour was interesting, but it didn’t taste too similar to a tikka masala dish.
On most days, Panaga is open until 11pm, so it’s an option for a late weekday bite. It’s way better than Big Slice, I’ll admit.

Yes, yes, and oh Lordy yes.
Pizza Pizza, Pizza Nova, Domino’s, Pizzaiolo, and Pizzaville… I’m afraid I have found someone new. I might have to break up with ALL of you at the same time.
And to those that grumble in the background that Panago is more of a gourmet place and therefore incomparable to all the other pizza places I just listed, all I have to say is PSSHHH. Panago is priced reasonably enough that it doesn’t cost like how I would picture a gourmet pizza would. Thus at the end of the day, if you have similarly-​priced pizzas, gourmet or otherwise, wouldn’t you compare all of them and pick the best one?
The best one is Panago by the way, in case you haven’t picked up the hint yet.
I had the Chipotle Chicken pizza. The entire experience was just lovely. The sauce wasn’t bland, it was just spicy enough, it was reasonably priced, and the pizza was juicy. Yes you read that right, it was JUICY. I was gonna say moist but then this review would be rated R.
The crust was crispy, the dipping sauce was tasty, and the size was just about right. I find that the problem with many pizza places is just that the taste is kind of blah (my 4356^th complaint about bland food, I know I know) but this does not apply here. It was like a flavour explosion, and we’re all caught in it.
Another awesome option is the Chicken Club. You will not disappointed.
The service is quick and the pizza is great, I greatly recommend this place. Go there now.

This is very good pizza as it’s a top notch for fast food. When one compares fast food to gourmet, it’s like comparing fancy Chinese banquet to Mandarin Buffet so I can’t comment on Vanessa V. review since she doesn’t mention whether it’s gourmet or fast food since they use different types of ovens and preparation. Manhattan New York pizza’s does have a good reputation but my friend (also a life long New Yorker) took me to Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn. It is also rated the highest in New York which I definitely enjoyed but would not say it’s that much better than our best here and she agreed when I took her to Terroni.
Terroni’s, Camarras, Gerrard Pizza are my favourite gourmet places and they will give any New York pizzeria a run for it’s money but that’s the bottom line since gourmet is defined by price. Anyways, people have different tastes when it comes to pizza but the important thing is a good pizza maker, fresh dough, good ingredients and a clean quality oven. Wood or brick ovens tend to be better but they are not the most efficient ovens for fast food operations.
This is where I like Panago (Canadian operation based out of BC). Clean, simple, fast and tastes great. Look on the bottom of your crust and no burn marks so their ovens are clean. The dough is made fresh on site daily and they don’t put trans fats or MSG in their pizza which makes all the difference in the taste. Ingredients are likely not fresh but I’m not sure if the gourmet places throw out everything they don’t use at the end of the day and give you fresh picked from their backyard garden either so Andy O. may need to bring his own fresh ingredients to taste fresh. He is right about the map but that has to do with the address not indicating Gerrard east or west. I’ve sent in a correction as it is located on Gerrard St. West. Definitely 4 stars and yes the Buffalo Chicken is awesome and worth the slightly higher prices.

first things first: the map marker is wrong! take a look at their website, they’re on another block!
=============================
my second pizza in toronto. the first one was bought by another guy, so i had no control over it and it tasted kind of like something i’d expect from a frozen one from the grocery store. not too bad but definitely not worth the money.
so i figured i’d give something that comes highly recommended by members on Unilocal.but once again: frozen food. at least that what it tastes like to me.
at least the jalapeño peppers were really damn hot though. more than i expected but hey — at least in that respect, i got what i asked for.
maybe i’m spoiled by the real italian stoneoven pizzerias but this is just nonsense in my opinion and not worth the price.

Panago has a great idea: Come or call in and order your pizza fresh, don’t wait around 2 minutes for a slice to be heated up at Pizza Pizza et al. when you can come here and order an entire personal pizza fresh and only wait 6 minutes.
This place runs like a well-​oiled machine too, they are fast and everything is spotless.

Generally the only thing I get from Panago is their BBQ Chicken pizza because I like it so much. BBQ sauce, chicken, carmelized onions, and red pepper. YUM! Their cheddar dip is also the best IMO for dipping your crust into.
I’m sad that there aren’t as many locations here as there are out west but at least this location is close enough to my house that they’ll deliver.

I tried Panago for the first time a couple weeks ago when I bought pizza for my co-​workers and I have to say it was a big hit. Normally we’re pizza hut fans owing to the males in the group who mistake grease for flavour but this time around I’m glad we tried something different. The pizza at Panago is not ground breaking or uberly gourmet but for delivery/​take out fare it’s pretty tasty. Better than bland Pizza Pizza or grease soaked Pizza Hut.
The pizza itself is remarkable in that it is not greasy or too doughy. Fresh ingredients and the sauce is decent and applied sufficiently. You also get a nice selection of dippers (ranch, cheese, hot sauce, tomato) with each small and above sized order. Prices are about the same as Pizza Hut.
It’s also a BC chain too, gotta respect my roots you know!

pizza in toronto is 99% disappointment. there are a few exceptions, and one is panago. they deliver, do take out, and have a small seating area in the shop. prices are more expensive than domino’s or pizza pizza but not outrageous.
let me interject here that i am a new yorker. i have spent nearly my entire life on the island of manhattan. panago would not be acceptable as food if i were home– it would be considered very low-​end, bland, and pretentious. BUT in toronto, it is the best that you will get. terroni up on yonge and st clair has better pizza, but you will pay for quality. panago is acceptable (exponentially better than any other canadian pizza chain) and the delivery option is a huge plus.
try the buffalo chicken pizza, mm
