Gelato Pizza

Based on some of the other lackluster reviews I must have come on a good night because the pizza was delicious.
Crust was very nice, toppings were ample and fresh and I didn’t feel burned out after eating it like you do with a lot of pizza places. I usually get whatever came out of the oven most recently and that night it was a ‘deluxe’ of sorts. Washed it down with an orange San Pel.
Left satisfied. Friendly, smiling staff. No complaints. Thumbs up!

This place changed its name or there is a new company at this location. I found the pizza to be above average so I was satisfied trying this place. The pizza had a very similar taste as Pizza Nova which I love. But not quite as good. So seeing you are paying probably $ 5-​$ 6 more per pizza I’ll just hit up Pizza Nova over this place.

Came here for a quick bite to eat before heading to the clubs in this neighborhood. First off this is a pizza joint reminiscent of the types you found «back in the day» or like ones in New York; very casual eatery. Upon entry of this place the pizzas are lined up in the glass show cases; you order by the peculiar names for slices. I like the fact the slices are one Price! So it doesn’t matter if you want a pepperoni or loaded slice; it’s $ 4.99 & the slices are cut in two so it’s one huge slice! Now I had one with chicken, tomatoes& pesto. It was really good, the crust was crisp on the bottom yet the dough had good pull/​chew to it. The flavour was good too. They make their own dough daily. The guys working that night were very friendly. I would definitely go back when I’m downtown in the area. I saw people walking out with large boxes of «za» (that’s pizza slang) for those who don’t know. Atleast that’s what my friends & I call it when we tipsy after late night bar crawl. Oh they do have some tables & chairs about 5 tables in the whole place, but most people I noticed got their slices to go.

We got gelato pizza for dinner. We got the Magio pizza which was supposed to feature mozzarella, Gorgonzola, boccacini and parmigiana. It was your basic cheese pizza and did not feature anything but mozzarella. As for the gelato it is not authentic or made with natural flavours. The pistachio was a bright green colour and tasted very artificial. Not horrible but you could definitely find better near by.

I sincerely do not understand how this place does not have higher ratings. Awesome crust, fresh ingredients, fast delivery.

After friends didn’t want to wait at Grand Electric for a table, they popped into Gelato Pizza instead to grab a bite. Apparently, arriving before 5:30 at GE still warranted a 45min wait!
Anyway, no real impression for Gelato Pizza. Like any other place, slices are displayed in a showcase as soon as you walk in. Slices are just under $ 5, with tax, does not matter what kind you get.
I got some veg one with red peppers and spinach. The girl before the counter re-​baked it in the oven. It was awh-​ight, nothing special or particularly tasty. Crust was quite bready, on the thick side.
Friends got an entire pesto pizza with chicken to share. Contrary to the slices, the crust on that was much thinner. They said it was a bit greasy ’cause of the pesto. Either pizza could’ve been straight outta Pizza Pizza gourmet slices.

Lucky to get one star, as I had to. Go to Metro and grab Dr. oeker. Save $ 13 buck. They opened a can of ragu, added toooo much oregano and bake. Ever had sawdust and acidic tomatoe sauce? Don’t do it. $ 18 bucks I will never get back, good luck

I visited the new Leslieville location twice this weekend and both times I was disappointed.
First visit was on Saturday and was strictly for gelato, even though I knew about their free pizza promotion advertised on their website. I saw people waiting around outside so I didn’t bother with the awesome promotion. Unfortunately, there was no gelato in the store so we left.
The next day, on the way home, I decided to pop in for their free pizza promotion as the store wasn’t busy. I went in (there was one other person there buying pizza) and asked if they were giving out free pizza and the man behind the counter told me I had to book it and the current wait is 2 hours. The customer there told me to just buy it and I wouldn’t regret it. I didn’t bother and said no thank you and left leaving both of the men surprised. My actions might have been a bit rude, but nothing compared to the way the man behind the counter was talking to me — like I was stupid or something for even asking for free pizza. No thanks! If that’s the customer service to expect from this location, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s too bad as I was actually looking forward to its opening.

Went in to their new leslieville location today. Had heard a lot of neighbours saying there was free pizza, though the main reason I went was because I had been waiting so long for them to open. I ordered a pizza and was asked for $ 9. I didn’t think much of it until I overheard the couple behind me saying that they thought the pizza was free. I took a seat to wait for my pizza and watched two other couples come in and order/​receive free pizza.
I decided to check their website in case there was some deal I was not aware of. The website very clearly said FREE PIZZA June 21 – 29, 5−9pm (I was there today at 7:30pm). I confronted the person behind the bar and he proceeded to lie through his teeth, saying that «walk-​in» means that you have to walk-​in and order the pizza, then come the next day to pick it up, and then further that it was only available for online orders (?!).
I left without my pizza. Absolute disappointment and disgrace.

Pizza was pretty average for a pizza place like this (where you select a pre-​made slice and it’s reheated). The toppings combinations on the pizzas are creative and unique. Great location for a slice after a night of drinking!

Pizza was very meh. I just got a regular cheese slice although they did have a lot of options. All of the pizzas with spinach looked old and unappetizing. The cheese was ok, I went for late night eats so usually I’ll like anything I eat but I could only finish half of the slice. I would say that maybe go here when you’re drunk but otherwise I don’t know, it’s not better than pizza pizza that’s for sure. The garlic sauce was the best part, it was homemade and pretty good although it was close to $ 2.

At first I thought Gelato Pizza sells some innovative gelato with pizza or pizza with gelato. But no, the place sells gelato and pizza, in two separate counters.
Ambiance:
The place is definitely clean and bright. It doesn’t have the greasy smell in a lot of the pizza chains.
Food:
We only ordered one pizza so my review is only applicable to their pizza. We had a «Pollo Pazzo» which had chicken breast, baby spinach, and gorgonzola. To me the pizza was mediocre at best. It didn’t have the wow factor.
The toppings and the tomato sauce were definitely fresh. Gorgonzola was strong but didn’t overpower the rest of the pizza, but the chicken breast was pretty dry. I am not sure is it that I didn’t like the crust — which was thicker than Pizzaiolo but fluffier than Pizza Pizza, or the lack of aroma and warmth from the pizza. I didn’t feel this pizza can compare to joints like Pizzeria Libretto, and I personally prefer Pizzaiolo for its crust.
Overall, the pizza was okay, not wow.
