Pizza Pizza

I used to know someone who worked there — and when I walked in for the five dollar medium pizza take out deal I got a pretty nice pizza.
And their French fries are good.
BUT — DON’T EVER order pizza there late at night (esp. on the weekend). They serve dirty cardboard that they pass off as pizza to the drunks that crowd in there on Thur, Fri, and Sat nights after midnight.
I got probably the WORST PIZZA I’ve ever had from that place late one night. And I had to fight the crowds for the ‘privilege.‘
I’ll repeat myself because words can’t describe the pizza that was thinner than any slice I’ve ever had in my life. It WAS cardboard. Flavorless. Cold. Stale. Junk. But the drunks that cram that place at that hour don’t have the sense to go back and complain.
(Update: I want to thank the owner or manager for sending me a note about my review. Nothing spectacular in his reply — and it would have been nice if he suggested I come in and he try to make me a good pizza (that I’d pay for — or course) — but it was nice that his email didn’t try to deny my experience or make excuses. Just a simple acknowledgement of my experience.)

Slow service, and the walk in special pizza I ordered was way smaller than the other pizza pizza place I usually go to. It was clear when looked at in comparison to the box it was in.

I will never order from pizza pizza again. Pieces of pizza didn’t even have meat I ordered on them. Pizza is gross! I’ll stick with Pizza Nova if I order from a chain.

For Pizza Pizza, the pizza is good. On that level, it’s exactly what you would expect. And when they run out of ingredients, they use pretty creative and tasty replacements.
This review is really about the bloody awful service. They, for some reason, have hired some of the laziest older ladies to serve. They move incredibly slowly, barely listen to what you’re saying and don’t bother to remember who has ordered what (even if there are only 3 people waiting for orders). You find yourself repeating yourself.
Recommendation: Order ahead of time so all you have to do is pick something. Or come in drunk.

There are so many better pizza options in Toronto, including Pizza Nova and Amato. This location is super convenient (right next to Spadina Station)/ but really nothing special.

What a disaster!
I came here because of the Toronto Raptors pizza promotion (free slice of cheese or pepperoni after a win where over 100 points are scored). Clearly, few of those who were chanting «we want pizza» have eaten much of this stuff!
why would any corporate entity such as the Raptors want to connect with a place of low quality? I get it that everyone (myself included) doesn’t have loads of cash to eat out all the time. However, the value here does not add up. After eating here, I could totally understand if the Raptors accepted endorsement deals from train station washrooms or adult bookstores. You won’t hear me chanting anything about wanting this pizza at the next game!!!
1. I wanted pepperoni, but they didn’t have any. I could wait 10 minutes or take cheese. I took cheese.
2. The cheese pizza was heated to lukewarmness.
3. I sat down in the dining room. The dirty wooden chairs were the first thing I noticed (bacteria with no extra charge!) then, I realized there were smudges on the walls and dirty splashes from old mop water everywhere.
4. The service was indifferent at best, and I can probably understand this one.
5. Oh, the pizza? I had to check twice to make sure I wasn’t actually eating cardboard.

One hot summer’s day, I was starving, far from home, and only had a tonnie toonie and a loonie in my broke-​ass pocket. So I walked into Pizza Pizza and got a calzone calzone.
Now, I usually love calzones, enough to overlook even horrible ones. Not this one.
The center was ice cold. The pepperoni was slimy.
It was solely enough sustenance to get me back home, and I promptly threw up. Barf barf. Maybe that’s why it’s called Pizza Pizza — I definitely saw my calzone twice.
Thanks, Pizza Pizza. You were gross gross.

Here’s the thing…
Our city has a plethora of amazing food, right at our fingertips.
Here’s the other thing…
A lot of them close at reasonable times.
Pizza Pizza should never be eaten unless you have no other options.
As a Pizza connoisseur (not self-​proclaimed, my friends have deemed me so), there are 3 things that make a delicious pizza:
— Dough
— Sauce
— Toppings
Pizza Pizza cannot deliver on any of the above.
Their dough is bland and tough, with a burnt crust about 90% of the time.
The sauce is a combination of sour and/​or salty, depending on the day.
Their toppings, although many available (thumbs up), are frequently contaminated.
What I mean by that is, I’ve never had a meal at Pizza Pizza that didn’t taste like mushrooms. And I use the word «meal» loosely.
Again folks, i’m not trying to put them down. They do their job of being the McDonald’s of pizza. And if you’re in to that kind of thing, i’ll roll out the neon orange carpet.
But for the rest of us, do yourself a favour and step up your ‘Za game.

As standard issue as any Pizza Pizza gets. Nothing to be excited about here.
We all know Pizza Pizza and its use: To purchase whole or by the slice when the end of days comes, you get side-​swiped by a car, hit your head, suffer amnesia and have forgotten the existence of any other purveyors of pizza and… you just happen to have a rumbling tummy. Or, it’s late and you’re tipsy.
Either way, it should not be your first choice but if you must, then this location is not too bad. Close to Spadina station and stays open late, just be careful to not purchase the stale slices. Trust me they are there, keep an eye on that.
Do not use the bathrooms here.

For a late night Saturday night eatery after your typical ‘shake-​a-​move’ the pizza is OK. I wouldn’t eat their pizza when sober.
If I remember correctly, ordered for a Pepperoni slice. It tasted like it was at least couple of hours stale and had a very cardboardy feeling. For a drunk guy, this place rocks. If you are not, stay away!

Pizza Pizza pizza is generally pretty subpar. They don’t offer dairy-​free slices, so I can’t really speak of the quality of pizza they have here. But what I CAN talk about is the bathrooms.
It was 3 in the morning and I was desperate. I was pointed to an unmarked door that led to a set of stairs to the basement. That is where the bathrooms are. For those of you who have seen Trainspotting, the bathrooms here are maybe a notch above the bathroom in the movie. The toilets didn’t flush and it was generally gross. If you want to prepare yourself for the bathrooms in Asia, I recommend visiting this bathroom as much as possible, as aside from the fact that these are sitting toilets (not that you’d want to), it’s about the same thing.

Well this is a Pizza Pizza, what more do you want? Just like any other Pizza Pizza they have pizza by the slice that generally looks unappetizing at best, it’s full of drunk people late at night, and the staff all look like thy hate their jobs.

Absolute junk, No reason to waste your money when you are a short walk away from some great food in the Annex, skip this place and keep walking west.
All of the pizzas are precooked and very dry, cheese is almost non existent, and service is not at all friendly.
No reason to go here.
