This pie was so big it didn’t fit in the box. That is in no way a slight. This pizza was freaking delicious.

Excellent pizza - everything is fresh, especially the sauce. I tried the angry bee and the flavour combination and mix of sweet and spicy was perfect.

My wife and I were in the area after getting off at the TTC Subway Station Donlands and came across the really eye-catching Pizza Joint. The sign stood out and grabbed our attention as soon as we were walking along Danforth, so we decided to get a pizza and let me say..... This is how a pizza should be done. We walked in and found an extremely clean place. You could tell that the people that work and own this place take pride in how they present themselves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We ordered a 12” pizza with Pepperoni, Sliced Tomatoes, Double Smoked Ham and Green Peppers. The pizza was cooked perfectly and the crust was airy and light, so tasty. The pizza sauce they used was full of flavor which is where some pizza places drop the ball. The toppings were very fresh and of great quality, especially the cheese. A bonus that was available was a few outdoor tables, where you could sit and enjoy your pizza. The only negative we had was, this place only does cash (at the time we were there), so make sure to bring some along with you. This was a great experience and we will definitely be back for great food like this. If you live in the Danforth and Donlands area, you are very lucky people. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed you did.

The pizza was amazing! The dough was one of the best I had and the toppings were fresh and plentiful! Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere .

Finally made it here for the first time and it was definitely worth it. The pizza is some of the best I've had in the city, it's easy to tell how much effort goes into the crust as it's properly hydrated due to their multi-day process and is crispy and easy to chew. The toppings are high quality and they are generous with the amounts. We had a Bianca and a custom-order with ham, black olives, fresh garlic, and ricotta (don't sleep on the ricotta). During our wait we had a pleasant chat with the operators which made the experience that much better. I can definitely recommend this establishment and look forward to eating here regularly going forward.

Don’t go to the city often, but went for the auto show. Went out of the way to visit this pizza place being one of the oldest in the city to have lunch. Not only were the staff (which seemed like a nice authentic family) amazing, talking about making dough, letting us watch them make the dough, and telling us about the history of the place, but they seemed genuinely happy to chat & be there which is nice. They were down to earth & love what they do. The place is cozy, & had memorabilia. Great atmosphere. Priced reasonably. Lots to choose from. Now for the pizza ..... MMMMM. Best pizza I’ve ever had. Best ingredients, best ratios. The crust is delicious. I usually like a fluffier, chewier (deeper dish) pizza but for a crispier slice... hands down my favourite. I won’t go out of my way to get a slice anywhere, but deffs would come an hour to have a slice here again. Perfect, intimate amount of seating where you feel at home. Definitely recommend if you’re a pizza lover. Also, their cola was delish.
