Pizzaiolo

The crust was fine but it was too much crust. I can feel my carbo count being wasted.
The meat on their meat lovers wasn’t a good mix per se. And it was very salty.
Compound with all of that is the expensive price. So overall I wasn’t really too happy with what I had, but hungry is as hungry does so I ate.
So far hitting a string of bad or blah restaurant quality. Hope I get out of the rut soon.

I generally like the pizzas from Pizzaiolo and this store is no excepton. I must give it only 2 stars, though, due to the lack of disclosure of the new debit policy and the debit policy in general. AFTER ordering one slice for $ 4.25, and with no notice indicating otherwise, I was informed that I had to pay an extra 25cents for all debits under $ 5. I feel that’s a ripoff. Remember that although many of the slices are healthy this is still a fast food restaurant and debit purchases should be expected. I’ve come here often and certanly given them my fair share of business. i just won’t pay an extra 25cents for the privilege of using my bank card, ESPECIALLY when there was no notice on this. On the contrary, this storefront now has large signage on its doors advertising that they take Interac, as if that’s such a huge deal.

Online the price was advertised as lower than what the in store price was. They refused to honour the advertised price.
«Deep dish» is just double crust.

Pizzaiolo is definitely one of my favorite lunch time spots. I’ve come across a few very dirty and gross Pizzaiolo locations, but this one is one of my go-to’s.
Service here is fairly quick during the lunchtime rush, even though there’s usually only 2 people working at the front of the store. The slices are always really big and they’re super fresh once they’ve been heated back up. Service is pretty good here and the people are friendly.
Note: Try the Fredo… it’s ahhhmazing. Who needs only one serving of carbs when you cane have two in one?! Pizza AND potatoes? Don’t mind if I do :) You can also ask to add cheese on it if you need a little something extra to spice it up ;)

Pizzaiolo was a great discovery after moving to Toronto. I have had pizzaiolo about three times by delivery and once in store.
In store was disappointing, I went around 9pm and the pizza was stale and covered in gross amounts of shaker spices that overwhelmed the slice.
On the other hand, I have LOVED the delivery experience. They are prompt, and I love that I can make my own pizza. I have found a winning combination with original crust, pesto sauce instead of tomato, mushrooms, green olives, red onions, gorgonzola and mozzarella cheese.
For more traditional pizza lovers, my boyfriend loves the Godfather deep dish– but beware, this is not truly a deep dish pizza. When Pizzaiolo says deep dish, they really mean a thick fluffy crust.
Vegetarians and vegans alike can rejoice with plenty of options for us. A win win for everyone.

My wife and I love this place! We go to Pizzaiolo with our kids often for a few reasons. My wife loves the Fredo and I love the Meat Lovers. The price is right. A monster slice and a San Pellegrino for just over $ 6. They are always very courteous to us-​offering to help carry our order to our table when it seems like too much. The place is clean and is decorated nicely. We like to sit at their outdoor tables in the summer and pick up some frozen yogurt for dessert right next door.
The only con is the lack of parking, but I won’t take a star away for that, as it is just the property where they are located.
I think I feel like having pizza for dinner tonight…

Service was bad. Don’t go to this location.
We specifically asked for no hot banana peppers on the Brando. The guy refused to write that down. And we ended up with hot banana peppers on the pizza.
The whole conversation was very confusing. Just not customer-​friendly.
The Brando was actually good — maybe I would go to a different location for that one.
The other one on the gluten-​free crust was disgusting. It was like eating a bunch of toppings on a giant, stale cracker. Another lesson learned.

No more trudging downtown to get a oily slice of potato rosemary (The Fredo) pizza for me, finally, a new Pizzaiolo up north and in my neighbourhood.
This location is clean, and at 4pm, completely empty except for the reasonably friendly dudes working there. They had a special deal going on for a free beverage with purchase for their grand opening (which is now over) but honored my request anyway. Free soda is always a plus.
Pizza was decent. One half of the GIANT slice was perfect, the other half was more than half of my daily requirement of olive oil. Crispy tasty crust, maybe verging on too crispy, but it was still within tolerance levels. Also, I’m happy that they actually had a vegan pizza available, which is more than I can say for half of the downtown locations I’ve been to after 7pm.
I’d come here again and I hope business picks up because that area has been lacking in quick tasty (vegan or otherwise) food options.
