Review from Patrick M.

I'm torn on Pizzaiolo (or, more particular, this Pizzaiolo).
It's good pizza. The crust is very good, bordering on greatness. The pie itself is well put together with plenty of toppings scattered with skill and attention to the "perfect bite", if you know what I mean.
They market it as gourmet. Is it? No. It's better than most corner pizzerias., but it's far from gourmet. The sauce is mediocre and sparse (I didn't taste it at all, honestly). The cheese isn't a drawback per se, stringy and gooey, sure, but it lacks any real character beyond "huh, well, that's cheese... I guess".
I admit that I did genuinely enjoy my slices. Probably 3.5 star considering the generally poor quality of pizza in TO. So what's the problem?
Price.
The 'za isn't noticeably better than, say, Pizza Pizza (considerably better crust, inferior cheese and sauce). I can't say the toppings are superior -- in fact, the broccoli tasted distinctly like frozen florets, though I'm probably wrong on that count. There are fewer topping choices. So that brings us back to the price, which is significantly more, and that's a deal breaker.
Would I order from them again? Hm. Maybe. Not likely, however, given the other options available.
Which is a pity, 'cuz that crust is pretty excellent!
