We all have come to know and love a classic round pie, whether a thin and crispy NY-style or a chewy Neapolitan version, you really can't go wrong. Yet, there seems to be another shape winning over devoted circular pie lovers' hearts, which is the square pizza.
It's everything we love about pizza, from the soft, chewy dough to ladles of sauce and mountains of cheese.
This article could have been named Detroit-style pizza but that's not the only square pizza you'll find in Toronto. Roman street-style and Sicilian-style pizzas are all done in rectangular form, and though not as popular as the Neapolitan in Toronto, it's arguably better. If you haven't tried a square pizza yet, you really should check out the places listed below.
Here are some of the best square pizzas in Toronto
1168 Queen St E
Descendant Pizza
The OG Detroit-style pizza spot in the city is still slinging out pies from their tiny Leslieville hub.
28 Roytec Rd #12a
Ciao Roma
This small pizzeria in Vaughan does authentic Roman-style Pizza Al Taglio. They sell pizza by weight and the variety is staggering as you can point and choose which pizzas you want to be cut in front of you and heated. They have great sausage and mushroom slices, but the best are their potato slices.
59 Cameron St
Maker Pizza - Chinatown
A Matty Matheson founded pizza joint that makes arguably the best pizza in the city. Known for their massive double-baked round pies, they recently got into the square pizza game.
832 Dundas St W
The Fourth Man in the Fire Pizzeria
This classic Italian eatery does massive pizzas and calzones. However, their square pizza is a hidden gem and worth the wait.
9 Charles St W
8 Mile Pizza
The cheese pulls at this small Detroit-style pizzeria are insane. The pizzeria's square pies are crisp, fluffy and packed with toppings. They don't skimp on the cheese either.
1665 Dundas St W
Saint Island Pies - CLOSED
What started as a popup has turned into one of Toronto's favourite Detroit-style pies. But they do things with a Filipino twist with toppings like sisig and chicken adobo on the menu.
132 Yonge St
Sud Forno
From the same team as Terroni, this beautiful Italian bakery does square pizzas done whole or by the slice with toppings like eggplant, zucchini and porchetta.
Back lane entrance
Gianna's Patties and Pies
This Parkdale spot makes Detroit-inspired square pies like the Hawaiian and Spinach Feta.
1093 Bathurst St
Detroit Pizzeria
This brand new spot in the Annex does Detroit-style pizza with some unique creations like the Motor City and Taj Mahal, which includes butter chicken, coriander and a butter chicken aioli.
This former barbecue joint at Bayview Village has moved towards comfort food like fried chicken and Detroit-style pizzas. You can still get some bbq in the form of brisket and pulled pork on a pizza.
