Pizzaiolo

If you love pizza and good service this is the place for you. The slice options make it great for everyone. No more compromising over what goes on the pizza, just pick the slice you like.
The staff are always happy to see you!

Their pizza is a nice change from some of the other traditional places out there not saying it’s the greatest but it’s decent for what it is. High quality toppings and delicious crust. Good fast service from this location will order again from them real soon

A good piping hot gooey-​crunchy slice if you hit the timing just right, which is a little before dinner hour. They are a very small, tight-​budgeted operation and they sure act like it.
Somewhat limited operating hours, and often very, very limited slice selection — if they sell out of the Gianni Ola and Sicilian after six or seven PM, they will not re-​bake and replace those pies — not if there are a few uninteresting veggie pies lurking in the display case. They are a bit stingy that way, trying to sell off every old scrap and I’d stop by there more often if this were not the case. I also remember when they opened the toppings were less cheap, seem to recall real sopressata, better sausage or pepperoni, maybe other cheeses — things they later decided were too much cost but made a better slice I’d pay slightly more for. We get the budget version now.
So I recommend going pre-​dinner hour, or take your chances. And of all Pizzaiola stores I like their crust the best, they don’t seem to skimp on the olive oil the way other stores do, which makes for a bland cardboard crust.

Excellent pizza, I’ve been living a few blocks away for many years now and this is our choice of pizza for whenever it’s needed. The only gripes come from picky eaters who aren’t into pizzas with «weird» ingredients. The crust sauce and ingredients used are always delicious and although the atmosphere detracts from the feel as it’s a little shabby, not many people eat in there so I don’t find it a problem.

This has super good pizza! It’s hard to find good take out pizza in the beaches. Pleasantly surprised! Had a pepperoni, mushroom and bacon kind and also veggie. Great!

Ok – I have eaten at a number of Pizzaiolo’s and had better pizza. I used to buy here a lot, but I think they have had a recent change in staff (at least on the weekends), and it was not great.
I went in to buy some slices and they did not have a great selection. The only meat pizza they had was pepperoni. Anyways, I ordered one veggie slice and one pepperoni slice and asked them to give them extra time in the oven as I like my pizza hot.
They did not give it extra time, and then when they came out, they started sprinkling extra parmesan on – which I didn’t want (they should have asked first). Plus on top of it, the guy who did it looked like the delivery guy — and he put his bare hands inside the bag of parmesan to grab a handful cheese for the slice— ugh!!! Too gross.
Bring back the other guys please, and also start wearing thin gloves or at least only have the kitchen staff touching the food please.
Also — if a customer tells you they want the slice «well done» then they mean well done. The slices were tepid.
Probably means I won’t be back to this particular location again.

I must say that I have enjoyed the Pizzaiolo experience at many a location and for the most part have been more than satisfied with the quality of food and service. Their baked calzones are second to none and the side of marinara sauce served with them is a nice touch. I have however found that there does seem to be discernible differences between locations. I have found the Toronto St. Location to be about the best and the Annex location to be among the worst. I know that this has to do more with specific franchisees than anything else, but should be noted.
With that said I ventured into the Annex location a few days back to partake in their walk in special, which is an XL with two toppings for $ 16.99, I like that they can do half and half, so that instead of two set toppings you can try four. I loved the Sopressata which is an Italian cured dry salami and their sausage had the right amount of kick. Yet where they failed miserably was in the dough. I thoroughly enjoy the thin crust that I have associated with the majority of Pizzaiolo’s, yet the Annex location was doughy beyond belief. It was almost as if everything I had ever come to know and love about Pizzaiolo didn’t apply.
I will give this location another chance as it is right up the street from where I reside, but hope beyond hope that this was a one time flub. Annex redeem yourself, please don’t sully the good Pizzaiolo name!

I’ve only ordered take-​out or delivery so I can’t rate them based on service or atmosphere. But as for their pizza, they have now become my favourite pizza chain in Toronto. My previous fave included Amatto’s and Papa Ceo’s but the generous toppings and tasty sauce have put Pizzaiolo #1 in my books. The only gripe I have is the pizza crust is a bit oily. But I’m not eating pizza to be healthy ;)
