My new favourite spot for pizza slices.
If you're a vegetarian, it's very exciting to go to a pizza slice spot and see meat-free slices available that do not consist of the standard: tomatoes, mushroom, green pepper - so boring!
Pizzaiolo alwayas has wonderful vegetarian and vegan pizzas available with premium toppings like zucchini and roasted red peppers! They're always loaded with lots of toppings and a very flavourful, tomato sauce. Love the crust as well - it's a bit thinner than most pizza places, and it's always nice and crisp.Listed in: Very vegetarian-friendly…

This location was my first foray into the Pizzaiolo chain since moving to Toronto.
We went to this location at 3am on a Saturday night and asked for half a fredo (with potatoes, rosemary and oregano) and half a vittoria (tomatos, zucchini, red peppers). They didn't even blink, no problem, done. When we got it, it was packed with toppings, hot and delicious. Everything seemed cooked to perfection.
Afterwards service was a bit off, I tried to buy a drink, and stood at the counter, drink in hand while the server talked on the phone... for about five minutes. Then I put the drink back in the fridge and sat down to finish my pizza.
On the plus side, the variety of pizza they offer is nice, they have vegan and vegetarian pizza available by the slice (amongst others), and they are open super late. -

This place is loved by my nephew, but after eating for five years at Martini's in Vancouver, this place is just average 'za to me.
Our party had Pepperoni, a Vegetarian and one with a mixture from their menu and it's only ok. It reminded me of Double Double Pizza and didn't feel like it was cooked in a legit pizza oven. It's definitely got that Pizza Hut oven taste to it.
To me, this is rock 'n roll pizza. It's up to the lover of it ! This would not be my first choice. -

Hands down, best pizza in Toronto.
Pizzaiolo offers something for everyone -- they have your typical, white-washed pizza, as well as better homestyle Italian ingredients. They have a whole bunch of vegan and vegetarian options, as well as a substantial amount of vegetables for those who just care about the quality of food they put in their mouths.
You can get a slice and a pop for $5, and they do delivery and takeout as well. Some of the pizzas they offer are strangely delicious...they have one covered in Thai chicken and satay sauce that is actually good! My personal favourite is the Bianca -- mozzarella, zucchini and artichokes. Mmmm...
This location is decent -- my favourite one was a couple blocks down, closer to Spadina, but it was the one that got caught in the Queen St. fire. This location is just as good, I used to grab a slice on my lunch break when I worked on Queen. Totally worth trying a slice, buying a whole pizza can get pricey compared to Pizza Pizza or similar chains, but obviously you are paying for superior pizza with better ingredients and a cooler name. Love this place. -

Love the pizza here. Try the "soprano", you won't be disappointed! They have such a variety of toppings, and the sauce is so good. I love it here.

I am not one for fancy, thin crust, pizza-with-toppings-that-have-no-business-on-a-piz za-snow-peas-are-you-kidding-me pizza. I like a nice crust, a decent amount of cheese, and ingredients that you should be able to find in Italy. Not a huge fan of conglomerate pizza, I try to find either smaller chains or completely independent pizza places. Pretty much in all cases I try to support smaller local business where I can. With that in mind, Pizzaiolo as a small franchise with restaurants that take on a local flavour that hits the bill.
There have been smaller pizzerias in the various neighbourhoods I've lived in that I've come to enjoy and frequent and always feel horrible when I leave them. Moving out of a local favourite's delivery radius feels like packing up and moving to a foreign country where you don't fully understand what people are saying to you and you have no idea whose number to call for a decent pizza. I've tried some of the others in the neighbourhood and this particular Pizzaiolo makes it work for me.
It is Queen West, remember that as you walk in. It's very basic in terms of its décor and fixtures. But don't be fooled. This is worth the walk or call in. The kitchen is open allowing you to watch all the orders going in and out. There's also a full glass counter with about a dozen or so different types of pizza to choose from. A few even offer a whole-wheat crust option for a layer of health underneath the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and bacon. Hey, it's what makes a slice tasty, innit? -

I craved plain pizza. I didn't know I would be getting the king of cheese pizza: mozzarella, feta and blue cheese. YUM.
But dayum, they need to find a better warming system for their slices. Or a warming system at all. The gourmet-style pizzas could be gorgeous but they just sit there for I don't know how long. Then the thirty seconds in the oven does little. Yes, the crust should have bite to it but not the whole pizza! I want the flavours with the gooey cheese!

Crap. I did online delivery and I had an invoice for $25.65. (Invoice was emailed to me as well). I had $28 ready for the driver. He turned up with an invoice for $28.04 and started shouting at me. Never again, these people are dishonest.
Pizza was ok but not as good as Amatos. -

The pizza at this place is delicious. Definitely one of my favorite. I discovered this place during the blackout of August 2003. Many places jacked up their prices but this one didn't. There was a nice man behind the counter just sweating in the August heat cranking out pizza. I ordered a yummy meat free pizza and loved it.

Oh what a survivor you are! First you survived the utter dominance of Amato's on the same block, then the fire, Pizzaiolo can persevere on Queen Street like Cher through a bad break up. Frankly, it's not my favourite, but at 4am, where else are you gonna go? The club kid infested Pizza Pizza? Never.
