Review from Chris P.
12/19/2011 1 Check-in Here
I popped in for a slice before beginning a night of drinking next door a Prohibition. This is an odd location. For one, it's really huge for a pizza place. Yet there isn't a ton of seating. The decor is a mix of styles. There's chandeliers hanging from the celing above the order area, exposed brick behind the counter, exposed beams at the entrance, and the walls are painted an odd mustard/egg yolk colour. Also, it's hard to tell if they're fixing the place up or what as there are holes patched in the walls and what looks like a botched job on the installation of the chandeliers.
But the pizza was good. -

Review update:
Still 2 stars.
The good:
- Pizza is good (especially for delivery pizza)
- Not that expensive (definitely not cheap but considering the quality of ingredients, I think it's an inexpensive price)
- Driver is always polite
The bad:
- Estimated delivery time: 610pm. Actaul delivery time: 530pm. This is the opposite of the usual Pizzaiolo experience. Why wouldn't I consider this a good thing? Because now I'm used to getting the Pizza 90m from when I order it, so I order it and plan to do other things before it arrives. They have taught me to expect it to take forever so I work around that. The inaccurate/often ridiculous delivery times are really frustrating.
- My pizza had the wrong toppings on it today. It was still good but it wasn't what I ordered. I double checked my online order to make sure I hadn't made a mistake in their crazy-stupid online ordering system (it's a series of 100 radio buttons) but I hadn't.
Overall, I will still order this pizza again, and I guess not know when it will be delivered or what I'm actually going to get, but I'm sure it will still be good.
I always want to order their wings but I never do.1 Previous Review: Show all »

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. -

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. -
Review from Andre G.
Toronto, ON
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.Listed in: Leslieville FTW!

I called and spoke to the owner, he was very genuine and concerned and sent me a pizza on the house the following night and it arrived exactly at 7:30 with apologies from the driver.
Their pizza is so good that I am totally thrilled that they've fixed the delivery glitch so quickly.
Kudos to you.1 Previous Review: Show all »

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.
