"Cheese" pie review: (Update: Unfortunately, as of this writing, their shop is closed for a new venture). Moving into this location in 2021 from their original Chinatown location at 235 Spadina, and with unique combinations of toppings, we decided to try first their traditional offerings, and then try their unique pies after. They had a very appealing option to order any 6 slices for $36, which we originally planned to use, but they had no slices available that evening, so we had to order a whole pie, and so chose their "Cheese" pie ("tomato sauce, mozzarella," $29 for a Large (about 16"))., and it was, overall, disappointing. Asked for a "well done" and the outer half-inch was very good, but overall the dough was a tiny bit on the sweeter side and offered no char-like flavours and with a generally "gummy" dough/crust with minimal air pockets. The sauce was acidic tasting (likely from the heat of the oven), and plain tasting. The cheese was tolerable but very "one-note" tasting. The pie had a garnish of cheese (assuming it was parmesan, romano, or parm-regg). Overall, would not reccomend their "Cheese" pizza since it was very unappealing and not worth $29 for an approximately 16" plain pie. Their other pies are very unique and unfortunately we cannot try or critique them due to them closing but they are: Butter Jam Jam: ("Organic Raspberry Jam, Butter Cream Sauce, Mozzarella, Balsamic Reduction, Lemon Zest") Kung Fungji: ("Sautéed Cremini, Beech Mushrooms, Mozzarella, Truffle Oil, Tangy Chilli Jelly, Chives") MF Prashoots: ("Prosciutto, Sautéed Cremini, Mozzarella, Truffle Infused Ricotta") The Keanu: ("Maple Smoked Bacon Crumble, Mozzarella, Cream Cheese, Pineapple Glaze, Chives, Black Pepper") Kilauea: ("Jalapeño, Pineapple, Sweety Drops, Tomato Sauce, Cream Cheese, Mozzarella, Chilli Flakes, and Maldon Salt") read more

This place is my go to for pizza of the unconventional kind. The crust is buttery, crisp, and light but still sturdy enough to hold all the toppings. My absolute favourite is the Butter Jam Jam. It is the perfect balance of sweet and savoury, with mozzarella cheese and jam that somehow just works. Think of it like a charcuterie board without the meat, unexpected but so good. The guys here are always super friendly and welcoming, and the prices are beyond reasonable. There is plenty of seating inside and out, and it never feels crowded. One of these days I will try their burgers, but honestly the Butter Jam Jam keeps winning me over every time. read more

Located in a well known mechanic strip on dufferin and Geary tucked away in one of previous shop. This place is out of this world, very simple design and trendy. Their burgers are freshly made and smashed to perfection. I've tried pretty much all variety of smash burgers and the roast-klahoma is probably my fave. The pizza pretty much seal the deal, if you are hungry try the burg za combo. The pizza is very airy, crispy and full of flavours. The fries if you choose not to do the burg za combo is crispy and tasty. Wouldn't hesitate to choose either the burg combo or the burg za combo, simply tasty. Staffs very attentive and bring the freshly prepared food to you as you sit and congregate. There is a outdoor patio which is nice to have for those spring/summer/fall nights. Side street parking is available. read more

The pizza is delicious, and you can genuinely taste the care and quality ingredients they put into the dough. You absolutely must get the "Gotta Get Them All" box,it's the best way to try their unique range! They were once just a pizza spot, but the word is out: their Smashburgers are now legendary (I'm trying one next!). A quick note: they focus strictly on pizza and burgers, so no alcohol is served. The owner/chef is incredibly nice and makes every visit feel like a true experience. It's the kind of place where you get high-quality food served with top-notch hospitality. Go! read more

Walking into Big Trouble felt like being transported back in time to an old school diner with old school vibes. They have their slices available and burgers made to order. Service was great, friendly staff and everything was done well by them. As for the food, they had 5 different pizza slices available and opted for the burger and pizza combo with the homemade ranch. Got the MF Prashoots which had good truffle flavour. Probably didn't need the ranch to go with it especially with all the flavours, but the ranch was still amazing. As for the burger, just opted for the Big Trouble burger. It had the nice lacey edges and good flavour without being dry. The special sauce was a bit on the sweeter side, but it's a no frills burger and it was a good portion. Overall, a nice spot if you're deciding between smash burgers and pizza, or just want both. read more

4.5/5 Prior to COVID, Big Trouble Pizza was one of my favorite pizza spots in Toronto, known for its unique pizza combinations like Raspberry Jam, Balsamic Reduction, and Mozzarella or Prosciutto, Cremini Mushrooms, and Truffle-Infused Ricotta. After closing their previous location, they've now reopened bigger and better, expanding their menu to include not only pizza but also burgers. Since I had previously reviewed their pizza a few years back, this review will focus primarily on their burgers. Upon recommendation from one of the workers, I decided to try the Big Trouble Burger (the original), even though I've sampled many smash burgers across Toronto. The first bite was a revelation--the soft potato bun, the crispy crust of the beef patty with the perfect fat-to-meat ratio, and the standout element, the sauce. That extra sweetness, which may go unnoticed by most, made my eyes widen in awe. Aside from Extra Burger, I have not had a burger that has impressed me this much in a long time, 9.5/10. The burger was so exceptional that I had to compliment the chef, who insisted I try the other two burgers on the menu--the Kwispy Wanch Burger and the Roast-Lahoma Burger. Firstly, I must express my abhorrent disdain for the name of the Kwispy Wanch Burger. However, setting the name aside, the burger has all the makings of a top-tier burger. I would rate this burger a 7.5/10. What it lacks is the tanginess, which can come from the ranch or the pickled onions, or from pickling the jalapeños. Though, I did really like the fresh crunch the jalapeños provided. The Roast-Lahoma Burger also earns a 7.5/10 rating from me. The essence of the Oklahoma Burger lies in letting the sweetness of the onions shine, where the vapour of the onions would perfume the beef. Unfortunately, the onions naturally sweetness was overshadowed by the dijonnaise. Although roasting the onions was a good idea, I felt there was a lack of onion flavour which can come from cooking the onions a bit longer to bring out their natural sweetness. In conversation with Eddie, the mastermind behind these burgers, I gained insight into his dedication to quality and consistency. He emphasized his close collaboration with the butcher next door to ensure a consistent fat-to-meat ratio in each burger. Eddie's meticulous approach involves preparing a small portion of the meat blend each morning and cooking it to perfection to maintain consistent quality. Overall, including both burgers and the pizza, I give Big Trouble a solid 4.5/5. I'm hopeful that they'll become a neighborhood staple and continue to delight customers with their creative and delicious food. read more

This is a pizza and burger restaurant that recently opened 2023-04-15. They used to have a location in Chinatown (Spadina Ave), but it closed during the pandemic. I was at the Chinatown location on 2018-09-06. Their slices are a descent size and are thick. We ordered the following: 1. The Keanu (slice , $6.00). 2. Crispy Fries ($5.00). 3. Water (bottle, $2.50). The pizza tasted good. The fries are thinly coated and are indeed very crispy. They also serve smash burgers. Next time. The service is courteous and friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is easy-listening music playing in the background. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are two gender-neutral washrooms, but they are not wheelchair accessible. There is 1 hour of free neighbourhood street parking. Review 2023-192 read more

Craving carbs? Hidden on the west end of downtown Toronto, you gotta try out Big Trouble Pizza! You can order slices or a box. The MF Prashoots came with mushrooms, truffle, and mozzarella. Can't go wrong with this combination! The Keanu slice came with smoked cheddar, pancetta, pineapple, cream cheese. Super flavourful Lastly, the smashed burgers were simple but delicious. I do wish the bun was toasted more, but overall it was very good! Overall, this spot was nice. Good place to chill with friends and grab a slice of pizza (or a box for yourself, no one is judging). The service was quick and the wait wasn't long at all. 10/10 would come again read more

Amazing burger. Just like Robbie said. Will be back. Delicious. Would love to try with real cheese.

Stopped by Big Trouble for a friend's meetup and recommendation. The area around the shop was a lovely and peaceful neighbourhood. Upon entering, it's a very cozy spot with plenty of seating, though most patrons seem to prefer takeout. The service was friendly and quick. Unsure of what to try, we were recommended the "gotta get them all box," which allowed us to sample six different flavours. Each slice had its unique flavour and tang. Overall, an amazing choice thanks to my friend's suggestion. You won't be disappointed! read more

I went to big trouble pizza with my friends yesterday and was impressed by the different pizza topping combinations. They all sound interesting and unique! We went for the kung funghi and the keanu pizza. We had 2 small pizzas which were 12" in size. The large is 16". I loved the kung funghi and especially the spicy jello on the top that gives the pizza a nice kick. We wanted to buy some of the ice cream they were selling but broken milk ice cream is too popular and rhe pibts in the freezer were spoken for. The owner gave us 2 more slices of their more sweet pizza called butter jam jam because we didn't have ice cream. Highly recommend checking out this place- you won't be disappointed read more

I dropped by Big Trouble Pizza on a Friday afternoon to check out their pizza at their new-ish location in a quieter area. The service was friendly and prompt. The pepperoni pizza was came out hot and delicious with lightly charred meat. They definitely deliver a quality product. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this place! Delicious cheesy, greasy, hearty, and thick-crusted pizza. I've had their Kung Funghi pizza and I can't get enough. Each slice of pizza comes to $5-6. They also have some of the friendliest staff ever. There is seating outdoor and indoors, and the vibes are casual and very chill. read more

Delicious. The pizza is awesome. Like nothing else in the city. A twist on classic Neapolitan crust, the crust is flaky and like nothing else I've had. Love the sauce too, fresh and bright. The smash burgers are just as awesome. Great quality meat from the butcher next door. Every element is thought out and balanced. You can even get pints of ice cream here on Fridays and Saturdays from Broken/milk that will blow your socks off. Creamier and tastier than the best ice cream you thought you've had. You gotta try it. read more
