Pizzaiolo

This is the BEST Pizzaiolo location in Toronto by far. I have tried 4 other locations and for some reason the pizza in this location just tastes the best! The pepperoni is crispy and has just the right amount of flavor too it. They do not go overboard with the sauce which I have found problematic at other Pizzaiolo locations. The service is quick and efficient seeing as they do get busy for the lunch rush in the downtown core.
I commend the workers there for all their hard work and speedy service. I will always choose this Pizzaiolo location for Pizza.

I have been always a big fan of their pizza and plan to have a slice whenever close to one of their locations, I never ordered delivery before though and I wish I never did.
Last night I had a guest and we planed on ordering a pizza. Sadly I decided to order from here instead of sticking to the usual place I use.
The pizza arrived an hour after my order, knowing this location is maximum 6mins walk from my house.
The house salad was literally iceberg lettuce, one slice of onion and 2 cherry tomatoes THATS IT.
The big disappointment was the pizza. It was cold and not cold as in got cold from the time it came out of the oven to my house. It was cold when it left the store and been cold for a while, I can tell from the crust texture, the box humidity and the taste of the ingredients that were barely visible.
all in all my experience with this delivery order was the ultimate disaster. and for the price of a salad and pizza I could have had an acceptable dinner in a restaurant. Almost $ 32.00 a small salad and a large pizza with 3 toppings from here is simply an insult to my intelligence

good fluffy crust good topping but they are stingy with them. Can get a slice an a drink for 5.30. Not bad for an on the go slice joint

I was very pleased with the service. I don’t know what everyone else is complaining about.
I ordered an extra-​large pizza online with different toppings on both halves. I wanted it ready for 6:45pm.
Around 6PM, I received a call saying that they were out of broccoli for the one half, but that they’d double up another ingredient and give me two free pops. I doubled up on chicken and got two iced teas.
The pizza was ready when I arrived and the girl was very kind. I approached her with a smile and got one in return.
For a regular pizza-​chain, the pizza tasted good. It wasn’t as good as small ma & pa type restaurants, but it was good enough that I’d go back. I don’t know how the slices are, but to order a whole pizza, this place is very acceptable.
The pizza was under $ 30 and fed three people with a left over slice. 4 slices each.

Under $ 5 for a slice of gourmet pizza is an amazing deal considering pizza pizza is about the same price and it will not come close to the quality or taste of pizzaiolo.
Definitely a good budget lunch option for downtown!

I have been ordering from this location for about a year but tonight was my last. I have had some problems in the past with delayed delivery of well over an hour and pizza arriving cold. Tonight I got pepperoni instead of bacon and was generously offered a store credit for a whopping $ 1.70! I am done.

Pizza is OK, but nothing special. Awful service, terrible attitude. I only go to this place when I am totally desperate/​stuck.

Horrible service. Ordered pizza from them first there was a rude woman who took my order second the delivery guy was rude was refusing to give me the pizza so I could inspect it because past orders were burnt. NEVER GOING TO ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN !

Their slice deal isn’t bad and depending on your appetite you could eek two lunches out of it. I usually get the whole wheat meat. The crust is thin, which is how I prefer my pizza. Toppings are adequate, the meat tastes a step up from what you get served at pizza pizza. A reasonably priced lunch option in the area.

Thursday night, I was going to meet some old co-​workers at Rosewater for cheap drinks after work so I decided to grab a pizza bite before going inside on Toronto Street.
I used to hit up this place for lunch when I worked for George Brown College. It was delectable many years ago and may be still during working hours.
However, at around 5:45 PM when most of the financial district has gone home, left over pizza from lunch time can be seen from the window and up for sale. For sure these have been left out for a couple of hours.
At any rate, I was starved so I ordered a slice of GIANNI OLA, here are the ingredients from the Pizzaiolo website: Bacon (Real Canadian), Mushrooms (Fresh), Pepperoni (Dry Cured), Mozzarella Cheese and Pizzaiolo Tomato Sauce.
The lady put it in the oven to re-​toast/​bake, took it out to cut it in half and I brought it to my table. What can I say, dry, left-​over old pizza is not amazing, no matter if it is reheated. So I definitely experienced better. Some of it was still yummy tasting, thanks to the swine meat and cheese!
It was quick and for $ 3.99 + GST (5%), no PST was a decent ’nuff for me (Restaurant meals (whether dine-​in or take-​out, and including fast food) under $ 4 are exempt from the Ontario tax.
Would only return if I was starved and in the area.

Decent pizza for fast food, but fast food it is. Quick, friendly and lots of room to eat.

Burnt calzone and requested silverware that we did not get… The delivery guy was nice that’s about it.

Decent place. Thin pizza crust with interesting toppings. Not my fav, but good in a pinch. Good service at this location gets an extra star. Like the slice and drink combo.

This place is relatively large for a pizza joint, with lots of seating — but gets full during lunch hour. They have a special — any slice + pop for 5.30 plus tax.
I had a slice of pepperoni pizza for 3.99 + tax = 4.19.
It was huge, and you could taste the fresh toppings of pepperoni and cheese. The crust was also crispy, and not bready like Pizza Pizza.
I would definitely come back to try other slices! This place tends to be empty after 5pm, since everyone has gone home from work.

It was one of a handful of places that was open at 8pm on a Sunday evening, so I figured I would give it a try. The place was well lit and felt clean, but it was a pretty boring interior.
They had a variety of pizzas displayed which you could choose from, with each «slice» being equivalent to ¼ of a large pizza. Once you choose your slice, they throw it back in the oven to re-​heat and will slice it into two before handing to you. I was disappointed that they didn’t have a fountain drink option, but instead had a more expensive option of having bottled drinks.
Overall the pizza was OK, service was good, and the place was clean. It will not be my new favorite pizza place, but I would eat there again.

If you ever walk around Downtown Toronto, I guarantee you have passed by at least one Pizzaiolo. I’ve tried Mama’s Pizza? just around the corner and I really did not enjoy it so I was a little hesistant to try this place. This place can’t be missed with it’s bright green store sign and once you walk in, it’s very clean and bright inside the restaurant.
There were 2 people working behind the counter, one girl at the cashier and and a guy in the kitchen area. I never expect spectacular service at Pizza joints like this, but it’s always nice when someone greets and acknowledges you are there. Obviously that didn’t happen here (and my family was the only people there!) but I guess I shouldn’t complain when I am paying $ 3 for a slice of pizza.
Ordered: CANADIANO — I paid $ 5.30+tax for this which includes this giant slice plus a drink. It’s so big they cut it for you in half. There are lots of options catering to meat lovers, vegetarians and whatever suits you. They heat this up for you when you make your choice but it doesn’t take very long. I really enjoyed this :)
Ordered: CHICKEN PESTO — This was my mom’s choice and I took a bite of it. This was also very good but kind of dry. I think it would taste good with some ranch sauce on top or hot sauce.
SUMMARY: I love this place and it’s worth every penny! :)
