Pizzaiolo

They bill themselves as a gourmet Pizza place. Not quite there, but they are "gourmet" compared to Pizza Pizza.
I went there for lunch on a weekday. For 4$ you get a decent sized slice of your choosing. They had about 10 different pizzas. I had some fancy veggie pizza and I it was delish.
It's just down the street from my work, so I will probably go back once every so often.

this place blows chunks.
the pizza was quite tasty and for that i feel it deserves the star it gets. if you had asked me how many stars id give after the first time i ordered from them, i would have given it 3 stars. when the next 2 times confirmed that this place is run by a group of lackadaisical stoners i was forced to give the the sole star and they stole that from me. it was coerced from me. i made it up your honour because of the torture so i could survive.
right.
well to clarify, if it takes you an hour and a half to make and deliver a pizza youve got a major kink in your business. if you cannot even guarantee the pizza will arrive in that time then im baffled you continue to have electricity to operate your ovens.
go get a coach and start winning games for gods sake.

In store experience: 5 stars
Delivery experience: 2 stars
For the former, Sarah L and I visited the newly opened location at Broadview and got slices to stay. Counter girl Paula was very friendly and cheerful, although her lack of proper implements with which to open the glass bottle Coke they now sell here was troubling. Someone get this girl a bottle opener...how is this not part of the Pizzaiolo toolset??
For the latter, online ordering was a failure. The new location isn't yet programmed into the database (somebody update the XML, mmkay?) and as such it was pulling The Beaches store as my nearest location (closed at 10pm; I was ordering at 11pm) with an estimated delivery of...14 hours later. Hmm. So I called instead.
The person who picked up the phone answered with "Hello?" and I had to repeat my order a few times. She told me it'd arrive within 40 minutes, and when I asked her for the total, she said it'd be "between $20 and $30." WTF.
Fast forward 90 minutes later and our pizza still hadn't arrived. Actually, so much time had passed that I actually forgot I had even ordered a pizza. It was almost 1am by this point, I was hungry as fuck and the store itself was about to close. Pizza finally arrived a few minutes later - the driver didn't ring the doorbell (as I had stated in "special delivery instructions" when I ordered the pizza) and had been standing there for god knows how long, knocking faintly on the door. Ugh.

This location is a new addition to the neighbourhood. I have to say I was pretty excited when I saw that they were opening up. Definitely a welcome addition to Leslieville.
The pizza is pretty standard and on par with all the other Pizzaiolo locations I have eaten at.
They have a really good walk-in special for a 2 topping XL pizza for $18. The nice thing is that it's actually a true extra large and you get a TON of 'zza for your money. Took about 20 minutes for my walk-in order to prepared and the end result was very tasty.
They're good competition for the average (at best) Pizza Pizza down the street. I only wish they had a deep dish offering.

The Goods:
At the apex of Queen and Broadview, the location for yet another Pizaiolo is ideal. If you look up, you'll see one of the secrets to this Pizza companies success. Vent the pizza oven out to the front of the location in order to pull customers with aroma.
The Bad:
Not a clean table in the place. Pizza was cold and had to be reheated.
The Really Bad:
If there is one thing that puts me off a pizza place is a crust the reminds me of stale bread. I can't stomach "Bready" pizza crust.
Overall:
Will be well received in this hood as long as they remain open long after bars close.
