It's a family-owned restaurant that has recently opened up close to University of Toronto St. George campus and it's a great option for affordable and delicious meal option. You can order a full pizza pie or buy pizza slices. You can even mix and match a pizza pie. They make their pesto and tomato sauce in-house and pizza dough is made fresh every day. The staff are very friendly too. We ordered "Four Cheese Pizza" and "Meat Lovers Pizza" and enjoyed both. read more

I'd give this place a 3.5. The pizza was so darn delicious but also so darn oily $5.07 for one slice ( cut into two pieces). No seating in this place except small table. Prepare for long line up and only one man working there( poor guy, felt bad for him). I ordered through Ritual and it's supposed to be skip the line but the guy there told me to wait as it was too busy. When I received my order, it was so hot that the oil from the pizza slice burned my finger a bit . This actually never happens to me before even as a kid. So just be prepared to grab some napkins to avoid my mishap. read more

Cora Pizza - Margarita pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Pros: + Low cost for a mom & pop + Pizza was hot & fresh + People, location, and interior are amazing - friendly and old school! + Decent tasting ingredients, not terrible or amazing Cons: - Pizza was a little undercooked on the bottom for my liking Cora Pizza is an iconic Toronto pizza spot. There is an old school rivalry between them and Papa Ceo next door. Haven't tried Ceo's yet, but decided to finally give Cora's a chance. I ordered a Medium Pepperoni Pizza ($12.99). For a mom & pop non-chain independent spot, the price is very fair. You get 8 slices on the smaller side. The slices aren't too thick or too thin, just in the middle. The pizza is a solid old school style pepperoni. Not a destination spot that you'd drive an hour for, but if you live in the neighbourhood or care to try an iconic old school spot, then you'll really enjoy this. The pepperoni, cheese, sauce, and dough all hit the spot. The pizza arrived hot and fresh as well. My only criticism regarding the pie itself is that the bottom was very white and felt a tad undercooked. It was super doughy. The people who work at Cora's are very friendly. The inside is very old school and has so much charm. I'd take this over a make-believe hipster joint every day of the week. Love the downtown location as well. Overall, 4/5 and the people and place are factored into my rating. read more

Cora Pizza - Looks good and hot - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Tasty and cheap pizza you can get when you want a bite. A nice simple location. Criticism would be there's not really a place to sit down to eat. There's one table inside and a bench outdoor. The space inside is rather small. But I'd still recommend for a quick bite. As for the other reviews, watch out for their fat talk, because they don't keep it fit. read more

Came along to this earth looking for some good pizza and cora pizza is the best !! super inclusive couldn't get better service anywhere else. read more

Pizza is way better when I order whole pizza freshly made over the slices. It's a bit oily but what do you expect from good pepperoni and mozzarella? This isn't Napolitan pizza. Maybe don't get the pepperoni if you don't like oily. read more

Best downtown pizza. Been going here for years. Big slices for cheap price. Wonderful staff. Always friendly and smiling. Pizza is hot, pop is cold. What more could you ask for? Highly recommended read more

This unassuming, unfussy hole-in-the-wall pizza shop offers friendly service and great tasting pizza. Definitely deserves a spot on the top 10 list of great pizza in Toronto. Their crust and base has a nice balance between crunch and chew and holds the toppings well. My recommend: try their 'Canadian' pizza straight out of the oven. read more

Right next door to another late night pizza place. I would say that they have a smaller selection than Papa Ceo, and the staff definitely seems to get grumpier in the wee hours than the joint next door. No place to sit. That being said, a decent slice of pizza for a few bucks. Only come when hungry! read more

Good service, well-packaged, more of the veg toppings would have been a welcome addition. The original Italian soft drink in a can: underwhelming. read more

Good pizza and they are open late! Staff are friendly and it is quick. This place has been a staple in the area for many years. I do recommend a try. read more

OKAY GUYS. I may have been really drunk last night (please look to the original post for my "stumbling out of a cab onto Harbord" comment, oh and for the record, I did NOT stumble, but you get the idea) BUT I SWEAR that Cora's was open! Here were some indicators: The customer standing inside. The "warm glow" coming from the windows. And the pizza. I swear I saw all 3 of these important factors. I must return later today to confirm this. UPDATE: Yes, it is open. I went in last night and you could tell they worked hard to get back in business. Heck, I could smell all the products that went into cleaning the place up. I tried to uphold a conversation with the owner, but his Italian accent got the best of me and I got confused after he said people were "jealous". In which I replied "People were jealous that you got closed down? How does that work?" (Perhaps he meant re-opened?) The owner just chuckled, said something Italian and pointed in the direction of Papa Ceo's. Anyway, I had the pizza. The pizza was good. I never want to partake in this again, so I shall call Cora's Pizza an open and shut 'oven'. read more

I liked the pizza offered here, good and cheap. It's perfect for the student on the go. The pizza had the right balance between salt, sauce, cheese and crust. Service is EXTREMELY fast so if you have only 10 minutes between classes you can be in and out in a flash! Just thinking of it now is getting my mouth watering. Check this place out if you get the chance. read more

Cora Pizza - Plain cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Cheap, well-made, delicious pizza. What more could you want? The slices are hugggeee with lots of toppings and great flavor, for only $4 a slice! Definitely a great lunch option if you're looking for a quick meal. They have quite a few selections for toppings, they heat up the pizza in their oven in the back, and it comes out crispy and warm. The only downside here would be the lack of seating -- just one table and a small counter. I imagine that most people grab their pizza to go though, so that's likely the reason for limited seating. However, overall, a great choice for pizza! read more

Cora Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Cora's is an U of T institution that is unchanged for at least 20 years. The pizza is fine, definitely better than Pizza Pizza. You get a big slice and a drink for $5.50. Ideal for a quick lunch, students, and late night, but nothing special. read more

We had a craving for a late night extra cheesy pizza. Cora tasted good and the cheese wasn't very greasy (good quality). The delivery was also very quick. However half of the pizza was lost to the lid during delivery because no pizza box lid supports were used. Too bad a lack of a $0.02 piece of plastic ruined this. read more

Cora Pizza - Lack of pizza lid supports. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been ordering from Cora's for years now, but after tonight I won't be. When the delivery man knocked I told him 1 min as I went to grab my cash, came to the door and he was gone. I called them back, and said he left without delivering. I then shortly got an angry call from the driver saying he waited 10 minutes at the door, despite me coming to the door after a minute. I apologized and asked if he could come back, he said he would. I waited at the door for him, no buzz comes and no driver. I then get an angry text from him telling me to fuck off and that he's not gonna deliver my pizza. I normally wouldn't leave a bad review over a driver, but when I called the restaurant back they wouldn't pick up. Won't order again with a driver like that. read more

Basic yet classic taste in the best way! One of my favorite pizza spots and the price is right. I also love their fries.

Friendlier service than Papa CEO. Similar in quality, service (fast), menu, and interior to Papa CEO. "Good enough". Why are they even side by side??? read more

2 stars. Looked bad upon arrival and was super soggy. Edible, so better than 1 star I guess. read more

Cora Pizza - Like someone stepped on it - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Having lived right beside Cora Pizza for a year during my early 20's, I can confidently say I have sampled enough to do a full review of Cora Pizza. Lunch time, dinner time, late night, no matter what time of day a fresh piece of pepperoni pizza from Cora hits the spot. Like many people have said, the price is right. The portions are perfect and the old, gross pizzeria feel sets the mood perfectly. This establishment is for basic pizza lovers only, cheese or pepperoni. You want something crazy? Go next door to Papa Ceo and grab a slice of there old crusty pizza with crazy toppings. read more

A solid slice for a decent price, Cora Pizza is a good standby when other places let you down. While they offer significantly less variety in slice toppings (at least of the by-the-slice kind) than next door rival Papa Ceo, I have to say that it's still a damn good slice in and of itself. Maybe the closest thing you can find in the core for a NY style slice, Cora offers the kind of drippy, gooey slice that every U of T coed dreams about grabbing after class. The inside of the restaurant is decidedly tiny, but unless it's the dead of winter you'd probably not sit in the steamy shop to eat unless you're in a rush. That's what the bench out front and any number of nearby parks are for. The slice specials center around the garlic and pepperoni slices - I am more of a garlic fan but the pepperoni slice holds its own as well. I've tried the handful of specialty slices a few times and would just as soon choose the more basic offerings. If I want a slice with lots of quality toppings I'd just as soon head next door to Ceo's. Both are good for their own reasons, and this magical little corner of pizza goodness is a slap in the face to all the cardboard, rubbery-cheesed Pizza Pizzas of the world. read more

Open late, Cora's is the best bet for UofT students to get a good pizza late at night. They have great pizzas with great topping combinations and most importantly their slices and pizza's are FRESH (as compared to the place next door to Cora's which looks like their pizza's have been sitting out there for a few hours if not the whole day). The owner is super friendly and it has a really cozy feel with all the pictures on the wall showcasing all their customers from 20 years ago. read more

I ordered from here on Ubereats and got a salad, lasagna, and a medium Garlic Delight pizza and I was very satisfied. I ate the salad and a couple slices for dinner and ordered the lasagna for the next day. It warmed up well and was a great portion for the price. I've still been eating leftovers of the pizza and enjoying it. If I lived here, I'd probably make this place a regular! read more

It's a student favourite, especially for pizza after a night out. They are open till 4am I think (unless they've changed hours recently). It's cheaper and has larger slices than Pizza Pizza (almost twice as big). They have a good variety of slices to choose from. It is not a pretty place by any means to sit down and eat, but that's all part of it being geared towards hungry students I assume. One side of their wall is full of pictures of students that come in, and a proud moment for me was being included in that wall a few years ago! So that's always something fun if you go there a lot and you get to point out your picture to friends :) I don't try the vegetarian options, but I hear they are good, I normally get something that has pepperoni, mushrooms and some other topping. Prices range from $3 - $5(ish) a slice if I remember correctly and I think it's worth it for the amount of food you get. Of course, expect it to be greasy! read more

Lived at UofT New College This was a frequent spot for everyone on residence for good reason. Pizza slizes are huge and always crispy thin. Great for late night snack that's not too damaging on your wallet. read more

Not really my favorite, but it's not bad. originally went there when I went to UofT. The place was right down the block from the New College residences. It's a bit tight in there. The dough/crust is pretty good. Just the right balance of crisp and chewy. Prices are ok. Not as expensive as many pizza places in downtown. Still get a decent sized slice for your money. Their weak point? Their sauce. The only place I've gone to that's got blander sauce is Dominoes. read more

One of the best pizza slices in the city. Of course, they should have a breathalyzer at the front door. Especially after 11pm. I've seen some of the most amazing slurred sloppy orders here from drunken college kids gone wrong. "I'lll... HAAAVE....DA.....PEEPPPERRR...NO WAIT... THE MAOSCHION...NO WAIT THE... DO YOU HAVE A BARRRTTTHROOM?" Consider your pizza slice the price of admission. They're in pretty much constant competition with the other pizza joint next door. After enough drinks they're probably pretty much indistinguishable. I figure that the crowds always went to Cora's first because it was easier to pronounce.... or maybe they have a wider front door. Who knows. read more

Pizza was fine, but not great. Tasted like many other independent pizza places I have eaten at -- I prefer more sauce and a more doughy crust. The worst part was the very slow delivery. We waited 1 hour 5 mins for a pizza to be delivered 2km. Wouldn't buy again. read more

They messed up my order on uber eats (was very straight forward- just pepperoni and pineapple pizza) and the lids weren't completely shut on the lasagnas so they arrived exploded in the pizza box and were not appetizing. The person who answered the phone said he would speak his manager to rectify this because uber said to speak to them since they wouldn't do anything, and they never called back to follow up and rectify. Shows they're all about sales and don't actually care that their customers are happy. I've ordered from them about 10 times in a few months at $40 per order. No more! read more

Cora Pizza - two pizza pans in a pizza box - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Best pizza in town. I eat it mainly late night but I've had it during the day too to confirm its awesomeness. In fact, I eat it as left overs the next morning and it still tastes great. Thin and crispy. I get the ground beef with feta (feta being something custom that the lovely old man puts for me when he sees me coming through the door). In fact, as strange as it sounds, on the random evenings that I do show up, he always has this one slice waiting for me. Says he makes it just in case :) Service is fast. Considering he is the only one that runs the show all week long (with a help of another).... at his age its very impressive how dedicated he is to his pizza. He is as much of a reason as the pizza itself for my visits. read more

I love Pizza and eat it more than any other food. I've tried all the major brands, the neighborhood pizzerias but Cora's is special. The crust is perfect, the toppings are well married and the overall taste is phenomenal. I live no where near downtown Toronto but make it a point that if I'm anywhere near there I will go to Cora's to grab a slice or two. I would give this pizza the "Best Pizza in Toronto" award hands down. If you haven't had a slice you don't know what you're missing !!! read more

Its actually a 2 1//2 star. Plus was on time delivery, excellent price, abundance of ingredients in panzerotto and very clean delivery box (see bizarre). Negative was bland sauce and after asking for extra spicy and sauce got neither. Panzerotto was very large so more than needed dough. Strange taste and I wonder if they have them already baked and then microwaved as sauce was not melded with ingredients. Bizarre: both sandwich and panzerotto delivered in a medium pizza box. Even had the doordash delivery person puzzled. read more

I don't get the hype about this place. The slices that I had were bland - the cheese tasted processed, crust tasted ok but was too soft, lacked char, lacked chew, and lacked red sauce. This place must have gotten their high ratings from drunk UoT students...NY slice tis not! read more

Amazing and friendly staff. Delicious thin pizza, generous amount of toppings. Highly reccomend! For delivery or grabbing a slice to go.

Got the munchies and want to satisfy your hunger during the late hours? How about Pizza?! Cora's Pizza is my go to pizza place when I am working the night shift when hunger strikes! Good quality and always fresh!!! The dough is not too thin and not too thick - just right! The tomato sauce is subtle and is loaded with yummy toppings! Delicious !!! read more

I am involved in an ongoing debate between which is better, this place or Papa Ceo's next door. I have always sided for Papa Ceo's, but these are my points about Cora's: - often the pizza tastes undercooked, especially the dough, which is a huge no-no for pizza. - no decent places to sit - has often skimped through health inspections with a "conditional pass" - no llbo license - smaller slices - staff not as friendly. I can say what I will, but Cora's is still a place to pick up some cheap pizza. I'd definitely recommend Papa Ceo's next door over this place. read more
