The Best Pizza in Toronto

The best pizza in Toronto delivers everything from the paper-thin and ultra crispy foldable New York-style slice to the chewy and leopard-spotted Neapolitan-style pie. This past year we've also witnessed the surging popularity of Detroit-style squares, characterized for its thick and crisp crust and all its offshoots, from Filipino-inspired flavours to hybrids of Detroit pan pizza and Grandma squares. Toronto's options for pizza are becoming more diverse as we speak. With the onset of COVID, we not only saw new restaurants emerge, but the dominance of pop-ups overtook the city. More and more home cooks took their first foray into the industry (and successfully so), the homestyle pizza (fuelled by hard to land Instagram pizza drops) became the talk of the town.

With several destinations for excellent pizza in the city, it is hard to narrow down the upper crust of the bunch, but here is our list for some of the best pizza in the city right now.

West Queen West

181 Dovercourt Rd

Pizzeria Badiali

Pizzeria Badiali is a new pizza shop tucked away off the bustling strip of West Queen West along Dovercourt Road, seemingly hidden from tourists and casuals walking along one of Toronto's most exciting areas, but a neighbourhood gem to its residents. The shop is the child of restaurant industry pros Nick Halligan, Owen Walker and Ryan Baddeley, the latter of whom fronts the team with his pie-slinging abilities.

One Night Only Pizza

Toronto's standout option for delicious homestyle pizza, One Night Only Pizza, started as a popular pizza pop-up operating out of founder Luke Pollard's Riverdale backyard. After garnering quite a bit of attention and a reputation among the in-the-know food crowd, it became quite a feat to get your hands on one of Pollard's limited weekly drops. After moving into a brick-and-mortar location on Pape, Pollard is still operating his business on a pre-order model rather than accepting walk-ins. The menu is small; right now, you'll find Cheese, Pepperoni, Spicy Pepperoni, O.N.O Mushroom Pie Special and O.N.O Spicy Potato Special -- and all come with lots of house-made dipping sauce.

Dundas West

832 Dundas St W

The Fourth Man in the Fire Pizzeria

Trying his hand at pizza, Shant Mardirosian -- the original founder of Burger’s Priest -- opened this restaurant in Dundas West in 2019, which quickly became a favourite pizzeria for many. The pizzas measure in at a whopping 18 inches and are an elevated version of the typical delivery pies of Midwest America. Taking such an objectively delicious pie and enhancing it with quality ingredients, 00 flour for the dough and San Marzano tomatoes for the sauce -- Shant has created a crowd-pleasing slice. A unanimous favourite, the pepperoni pizza is topped with dry-cured pepperoni, both low moisture and fresh mozzarella and finished with a sprinkling of Parmigiano. One slice would be enough to satisfy a light eater.

Brooklyn-style pizza, you make ask? A confluence of New York-style and Neapolitan influences that results in wood-fired, thin-crust and foldable pizza.

Mark's Pizzas

A relative newcomer to the scene, Mark's Pizza, run by Mark Alousis, is a small takeaway-only shop located in Scarborough that got its start as a homegrown pizza-making hobby by Alousis himself. What evolved from a tent parked in his driveway to circulating festivals to now operating out of a brick-and-mortar location, Mark's Pizza is consistently busy as people try to get one of the limited pre-order spots for his pies. The pizzas are roughly crafted with New York-style in mind but instead have a slightly puffier crust. The dough is regularly being experimented with but expect organic and house-milled flour that adds a nuanced sophistication to the finished product. Menu items frequently change based on availability and seasonality -- for springtime, expect lots of ramp-based pizzas that Alousis forages himself. There have been several homegrown pizza operations this past year but Mark's has to be one of our favourites.

Owned by Shlomo Buchler -- who consulted friend and famed chef Matty Matheson to create Maker's menu -- has seen the concept achieve nothing but resounding success. Matheson is now officially a partner in the business and with two locations already established, Cameron and Avenue, we can only expect more to open across the city. The brand always seems to be experimenting with new items, like their sought-after square pies, dessert specials and a soon-to-launch line of frozen pizzas. However, staples and customer favourites on their menu must be the Dr. Pepperoni pie with double natural pepperoni, organic mozzarella, parmesan, toasted fennel powder and organic tomato sauce and the Frank's Best with caramelized onions, goat cheese, organic mozzarella, parmesan, rosemary, sea salt, organic honey and their trademark sesame crust.
