This pizza is okay but it is way way overpriced in my opinion. I'm not sure where they came up with these prices but I definitely would not recommend it. Before you order look at what your total is and you'll be shocked. This pizza is not made of gold so I don't know how they come up with these prices. A large pizza or extra large pizza will cost you in the vicinity of roughly around $50. A slice of pizza with pop would cost you close to $10 which is just absurd and ridiculous. I think it's in the best interest to customers or consumers know how much it would be before you go ahead and put that slice in the oven. The attitude of this place also means readjustment and I found it quite arrogant and very conceited. I will not be returning here! read more

Fresh ingredients. We like the quality of their pizzas. We phoned in the order and arrived 15 minutes later to eat it inside. House special, medium $29. It has a small counter with three stools for dining in. They provided the plates and napkins and were kind enough to also dispose of the box and plates after we finished our pizza. read more

If you're someone who likes a chewy soft pizza, this may be the place for you. I personally prefer thin and crispy pizzas so I found this too dough-y for me. The toppings and flavours were really mild and could use more sauce and cheese too. And sucks you can only do half/half with cheese pizza! Note it's cash only (no debit even). read more

This place has been around for years but hadn't got a chance to try it out until recently. Long standing family business on Danforth east of Greektown. Food - (3.75/5) - had the margherita and it was not bad. Crust is hybrid Napoli style so eat it with a fork probably over folding. Just right amount of burn on bottom. Good consistency and cheese was plentiful. Felt the sauce was a bit milder than I prefer. Service- (4.25/5) - friendly and attentive and didn't take long to make it. Atmosphere- (3.75/5) - not much too it and not really anywhere to sit to eat except some raised counters and stools on side. Overall- (3.75/5) - it was a decent place overall and probably one of the best options in the area. Ranks below my tier 1 favourites closer to the core. read more

I was expecting "magic" but instead got "pretty good". Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to like with Danforth Pizza House: Their pizzas are a good size (though a bit pricey). The crust is chewy, the amount of toppings are fine, and the best part is the cheese which congeals into a blob of ooey gooey goodness. Also, the people there are really nice and friendly, which adds to the experience. But it's just a bit overhyped. Not the best pizza I've had and not the best in the city. I wish I hadn't gotten so excited by how amazed everyone was about this place, and I think I would've liked it more. Maybe then, pretty good would've been good enough. read more

Fantastic people and great pizza. Everything is delicious. We have been counting on Danforth Pizza House for years and have never been disappointed. Our most recent discovery is the tiramisu - which is a surprise hit, made onsite by "Mom" - and it tastes like love. Rich cake, bright and creamy and delicious. Best Tiramisu we've had, and we keep going back for more. I didn't expect to find a great dessert in a neighbourhood pizza place, but everything they do, they do well. Hard to over-state what a delight it was to discover this. Life is short- ORDER DESSERT! read more

Did I have too much high expectation? Pizza was great but not the best pizza I have had in Totonto. I think of similar style pizza places such as Superpoint or North of Brooklyn and I feel that their pizzas are better. Ordered over the phone and paid in cash( cash only) when we picked up. Service was very friendly. read more

EXCELLENT!!! Best Pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I'm Italian from California. In 2013, I came to Danforth Pizza House almost every day while I was visiting Canada. Angelo was making pizza, working by himself. You can tell he took pride in making the perfect pizzas. I remember the place was not very desirable but it didn't matter because I knew I was there to get the very best pizza that Angelo delivered every time. I have not been back in 11 years, but my experience stuck with me that I still share with family and friends the most Amazing pizza in the world is Danforth Pizza House. I sure miss it! And Angelo too! read more

What a find! This place has been around for ages, but is newly renovated with cool light fixtures and bench seating and more. We got a small pizza, and between two people we got 4 slices each! The pizzas are made fresh, and so the wait times can be a bit long. Don't come hangry, haha. But this place is a true gem. The pizza isn't heavy at all, and the ingredients are top notch. Really like the tomato sauce they use! And lastly, the place gets a ton of regular customers, so you know it's good. read more

The last time I ate here was in 2012. It was a one-man operation, where Angelo did all the prep by himself. Sadly, Angelo passed away in 2014. The business was passed on to friends and family. When Angelo ran the place, there was no website. There was only one preset pizza, The House Special. There were no exotic toppings like chicken or sundried tomatoes. Angelo's pizzas were unlike any other pizza in Toronto. Using a special oven, the underside of the pizza was charred just to the point before burned. This imparted a smokey taste similar to a wok's "wok hei" that couldn't be duplicated at home or anywhere else. The current Danforth Pizza house doesn't have that magic. Pizza prep is a 3-person operation. The best part about DPH is that it is very generous with the cheese. Regular cheese is almost like extra cheese anywhere else, and the cheese they use is cubed instead of shredded. Unfortunately, they are very skimpy with all other ingredients. I ordered a pizza with double mushrooms, and there was a very meager amount of mushrooms. A large pizza with 4 toppings (chicken, 2x mushroom, sundried tomato) came out to $33.50 tax in, which is about 50% more than a chain pizza. For that price, I expected to experience the smokey goodness once more. But unfortunately, it was not to be. There's no more char. DPH has shifted to thin crust pizza, and with below average amounts of toppings while charging a premium over competitors, DPH's pizza was a disappointment. It's obvious that DPH is being carried by Angelo's reputation. However, the current DPH pizzas are nothing like what Angelo used to make. It's overrated because there are people who would rather eat inferior pizza from a family-run business than order a better pizza from a chain for less money. As seen from my photo, the pizza doesn't look very appetizing, either. Skip this unless you really, really, love the concept of giving your money to a family-run business. read more

Danforth Pizza House - a pizza in a box - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was initially going to the Dominos across the street but thought I'd pop in here instead. It's a cute little pizza joint with veryyyy friendly staff! As soon as I came in I was greeted, offered a menu and was told to put my bags down and relax . I really appreciate those small gestures, especially as a first time customer. There's limited seating so I decided to do takeout instead. I went with the Margherita pizza which took around 15 mins as every pizza is freshly prepared. Still was nice and warm by the time I got home and I'll just say j think I found my new go-to pizza spot! My pizza was super tasty, filling and was super ven baked to perfection. I even had enough to take to work the next day so I'm definitely pleased with the portion size of the pizza. Even my dog tried to sneak a slice way too many times and stood on guard in case anything fell, lol. As for the restaurant itself, everything was clean and neat. It's an "open kitchen concept" so you get to see all the fresh pizza toppings nicely displayed as you walk in as well as then preparing your order. They accept cash only but there is an ATM onsite. I will definitely be back and am looking forward to trying their different pizzas varieties. read more

Best Toronto Pizza I've ever had. Hands down better than any chain and you help a local family business and not some faceless corporation. It's cash only and is worth actually driving there to pick up yourself (instead of these guys losing money to a delivery app). Highly recommend the Honey Bee pizza (it's spicy) and the garlic dough fingers. read more

We've had this pizza once before. Before that I even had pizza from the original pizza shop that was here and whose sign they still keep in the back on the shop, a very nice, warm nature I must add. Anyway, we had the naplotana pizza I think it was called with sausage and tomatoes. It was very tasty. Like others say it isn't thin crust but it isn't too thick. You also get tons of toppings. On top of good pizza you will have great service from someone who truly cares about making a delicious pizza. I would go back here again whne I can. Ideally I would love to eat it in the restaurant. read more

It's been many many years since we ordered from DPH. I remember over 10 years ago, our first order... we called to order ahead and were told 1 hour to pick up, we thought how is this possible so went early to watch Angelo do his magic and then bring home this amazing DPH special. well fast forward and we decided to try it again. It's a little different, however, equally as good. We had to order the DPH special - crust was amazingly chewy, toppings were perfect even though a little less cheese than I remember. Overall was one of the best pizzas we've had in recent times. we'll be back! thanks DPH read more

After a few years of living in the East End this has defenitely become our go to pizza joint. The handmade dough is delicious and chewy. The brown crispy mozzarella on the top is probably the best part. And the amount of toppings are generous. We usually get the House Special as it has a great mix of meat and veggies. The veggies really bring some freshness to the pizza. I've noticed they've for some new pizza and toppings to try which I haven't tried yet but I'm sure it's all delicious. Also I love the new sign. It really lifts up the area. read more

A full service pizza house I'm originally from NYC, so I'm very particular about my pizza (it needs to fold). I've lived in Toronto for 3 years, always on the search for the best pizza. DPH has good crust, a nice ratio of cheese, and most importantly excellent sauce. The other night they also went above and beyond. After weeks of sheltering at home, our car battery needed a jump after picking up a pie. The folks at DHP jumped into action. Great za and set of jumper cables. read more

Elliott and I literally ate a large pizza yesterday. This guy has a hollow leg. Maybe both of them are hollow. It was a lot of pizza. Danforth pizza house is old and has no decorations and they make everything from scratch. The owner has been the owner for 50 years and his son has been working there for 15 years. I have a feeling not much has changed :) The good: - cheap prices, and everything is on the whole number. There is no $7.95 here - it's either $7 or it's $8. - The cash register is really cash only. I think it was an antique when they opened 50 years ago. - The guys who work here are great - The pizza is good The bad: - limited seating (we sat at the bar which was awesome) - no slices (I can kind of see why) - I wish my pizza was cooked 1 or 2 minutes less and it would have been very close to the best I've ever had I will DEFINITELY come back here again. These guys do one thing, they do it well and it's a really charming family business that will be getting more of my business. read more

Danforth Pizza House - This is a ridiculous cash machine - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm bumping my rating up to 5 stars! With the recent reno, it's perfect. The pizza recipe hasn't changed, though they've added some fancy-schmancy toppings to what was a very basic selection previously. I love that they kept some old signage to authenticate the 50 year history of this place, and they salvaged the portion of the front window that contained the old, fading signage. It looks great as a divider between the back prep area and the seating. Live on for another 50 years, DPH! read more

No menu. No price list. Zero ambiance. But delicious pizza that took me back to my childhood when pizza wa less complicated - pre-Gourmet Pizza era, no caramelized onions here. Excellent crust and browned cheese, my deluxe with extra cheese was cooked properly and was tasty. The gentleman behind the counter was a little crusty (no pun intended) with my initial questions about what kinds of pizzas were available and the sizes, then he just asked me what I wanted on it. He soon warmed up and was very friendly and cordial. I've now been here a few times. Bring cash (I doubt they take credit) and lots of PATIENCE. Is the "Fast Take Out Service" painted on the window a joke??!! Even calling in advance doesn't seem to help. I've had to wait every time. But it's damn fine pizza. read more

Danforth Pizza House - Storefront - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

All the signs point to Danforth Pizza being my kind of place. The storefront is uninviting and nondescript. As you approach you're convinced that it's not just closed but completely abandoned. You try the door and are surprised to find that it opens. Inside things look just as deserted. There's not a single light on in the whole place and the ancient espresso machine and cash register makes it feel like you've entered a time warp. As your eyes adjust, a women appears out of the darkness to take your order. She's amazingly warm and friendly and suggests a medium pizza for two people ($15 with 3 toppings). The menu is simple - no gourmet toppings here. We decide to eat in for the full experience. The pizza is made by a small old Italian guy. He's not the talkative type but he's friendly enough and you can tell he's made thousands of pizzas in his day. In about half an hour our pizza is ready and is delivered to the table by the old guy. I love everything about the experience and wish I could say I love the pizza. It is certainly good pizza but not excellent. Nothing about it really blows me away. The simplicity of the pizza is comforting and it puts a smile on my face knowing places like this exist. If I lived in the neighbourhood I would come here often but for a west ender I don't think it's worth the trek across town. Except maybe once, just for the experience. read more

Ordered a large Angry Bee. There was lots of promise with all of the great sounding ingredients mentioned in the menu, however, we were let down. There was an overpowering spice that dominated the fennel sausage and pretty much all the other ingredients. Our spice tolerance is very high but unfortunately the chilli on this pizza coated our mouths. The texture of the pizza was great and there were lots of toppings. I'll give it another try but won't order this type again. read more

Danforth Pizza House - Angry Bee pizza. We added our own arugula at home. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Solid pie. Nothing spectacular, but it has a home made look and taste...it's a little on the mild side for flavour (maybe not a large enough contrast between the sweetness of the sauce and the salt of the cheese and pepperoni) but still pretty good. I would give it a solid 7.1 out of 10. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect from Danforth Pizza House because the set up is so out of the ordinary, but I really enjoyed the pizza I ordered. The Italian man who runs this place knows what he's doing. First off, the dough is made from scratch and the toppings are fresh. And if you want to wait the 45-60 minutes (I didn't), it's all made right before your eyes. There's nothing fancy about the pizza and that's what makes it great. It's like something you would make at home, but even better. The edges of the crust were a bit burned and the pizza was a bit greasy, but that didn't make it any less tasty. In fact, I think it tasted even better the following day. I got a medium two-topping pizza for $16 and it was ready in about 45 minutes. I say the place is out of the ordinary because the guy was basically making pizzas in the dark (the only light was the fading sunlight through the front window), he wrote my order down on a piece of ruled paper next to other orders that were illegible, the cash register is ancient (along with most of the kitchen/counter area) and the customer area is really barren. I walked in to place my order, so I didn't have any problems with the phone. Cash only. read more

I decided on grabbing a small pepperoni. Warning the small was about 12". Way larger than I thought but great bang for your buck. It was only if I remember correctly $12.50. The crust was cooked perfectly. It was nice and crisp on the bottom and it had a great chew to it. They didn't skimp on the toppings either. Hard to see the pepperoni due to the top coating of cheese but there was plenty on top. The cheese was also nice and stringy with a great flavour! It's like it had a bit of a bite to it. Different but I loved it. I will definetly be back but I think the small was way too big for myself. They offer "baby" pizzas which looked perfect for lunch. They are pre-made and they had a variety of toppings on them. I believe they were $6 read more

I'd been wanting to try this Danforth institution for years, but never got around to it until one chilly fall Friday night when I decided to drive down to finally give it a try. What a mistake waiting so long! I had the medium House Special (bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, onion& green pepper) to go & it was truly fantastic. Reminded me of the pizzas we used to get delivered in the 70's & 80's when I was a kid growing up, except even better because the toppings are high quality. I watched the very friendly staff build my pizza & cook it to perfection as I waited. It came out of the oven with just a few heat blisters starting to form on top- just perfect. On the 10-minute drive home, the aroma of the pie was enticing to say the least. The taste was amazing. I also bought a garlic dipping sauce for the pie & it was very good. The place was fairly busy while I waited. Over a dozen pies, pre-ordered, were picked-up while I waited. I just walked in to order at about 6:15PM, & waited just under 20 minutes for my pie- very reasonable wait for a Friday night IMHO. It was very worth it, in any case! Have to mention again that the staff were very friendly. If I lived just 5 minutes closer, I'd be eating there weekly. As it is, I'll be taking the drive down for one of the best pizzas in Toronto as often as I can! read more

The biggest problem with places like DPH is that they have been around for so long, get so much business day in and day out, have such a strong loyal clientele already, that they stop caring and treat customers with indifference, as they take their business for granted. I said....places like DPH, definitely NOT DPH itself!!! And that's why it is now one of the best Pizza places in the GTA for me, definitely in the top 3. They are as busy as they can possibly be for a Friday/Saturday evening, wait times are anywhere between 40 minutes to around an hour for your order to be ready, tickets are piling up..........behind the counter everyone is working hard, yet calm and relaxed, and still friendly to all customers. You are not rushed to order, they pay attention to you, tell you about the wait times in advance, they don't act like the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld...overall you are treated well. The entire time we were there waiting for our order, we must have witnessed countless pizzas coming out of the oven, each and every one of them looked amazing, tempting, and appetizing. The pizzas are New York style, NOT thin crust....if that's what you're looking for, and not thick crust either. The crust is delicious with some crunch to it, slices hold their own, toppings and meats seem to be of high quality. The quantity of toppings per portion is also perfect, cheese....just the right quantity. Best part about the DPH pizzas.......heat them up the next day in a conventional oven....just as good!!..unless you burn them....but that's on you. read more

Nice to see that things have not changed. Danforth Pizza House still makes a killer pizza, carrying on the traditions of its founder Angelo, in the hands of the new owners. Change is happening, with a few new toppings, and it appears there is an actual dining area under construction, but as long as the pizza stays as good as it ever was, then bring on the change, I say! read more

If you like paying 18 bucks for thick bland crust with virtually no toppings, this is the place! Went in for a quick bite today, asked for margherita and coke with ice. Apparently ice is a commodity now, as I was told by the owner, 'we don't keep any special stuff in here'. Ok. What's better than a warm coke. Waited mb 10-12 minutes, so that was ok. But the pizza... Had no salt or any oil. Dry tasteless crust. Mozzarella covered about 15% of the so called pie (they call pizza a pie there). To paint a more vivid picture, imagine that your hand is a slice of pizza. Put a dollar on it. That's how much cheese you will get. Two basil leaves, viciously torn in two pieces, reminded me of basic math. And orphans. This pie fell under the ruling of a mighty gluten king; dough without taste or toppings does not deserve to be called a pizza. read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. I've been back so many times since. Make sure you get the garlic dipping sauce. It's godly

This is in my top two pizza places in the city. Been coming here for years now. I love the retro design renovations they did last year. The pizza itself is fantastic. I adore the way they cook the cheese. It is perfection. A perfect amount browning and makes the cheese ever so slightly chewy... Mmmmmmmm. I usually get a small and share it with a friend. I totally recommend this place! read more

Super!! My husband loves Pizza, and this is one of the most popular places in the city so I decided to take him here this Friday. Parking was easy, found a spot right outside the restaurant. They have a beautiful sign outside which will definitely catch your eye. I think it's a family run business, and everyone is very nice and welcoming. When we entered the restaurant it was very busy and they told us that wait times are around 50 mins. We decided to wait. They have some seating in the restaurant and because we live very far we decided to eat in the restaurant. We ordered a DPH Special and one Margherita both in 12'. We got our order after almost an hour wait but let me tell you both the pizza's were worth the wait. They don't have thin crust pizza's but their regular crust is nice and crisp. All the toppings were fresh, and they put cheese generously on your pizza. Portion was huge, we couldn't finish the whole thing and brought one pizza back (half DPH and half margherita). All in all loved it!! We will definitely go their again but I guess we will just order in advance to save ourselves from the wait. read more

It took me a while to try this loved pizza. Not because I won't do just about anything for good pizza, but because it's cash only, doesn't deliver and is east of the ditch. However, even those obstacles couldn't keep me away forever! Last night I took my little lady to visit my friends' even littler lady, and we made the pops (Hi Rob K, of Yelp infamy) go grab the 'za. It wasn't cheap, but we over ordered. It was delicious. I highly recommend The One & Only and the House Special. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's truly a neighbourhood gem and has now become a regular place for us to order pizza. This family run restaurant has been around for over half a century and serves a more old school pizza that will blow your socks off. Fresh ingredients with amazing flavours from the sauce to the fresh dough. Their menu is simple and of great value for the quality. Don't expect thin crust pizza as you would in most other top pizza places in Toronto, expect something closer to a New York style pizza. Before us discovering this place, they did a beautiful renovation and kept some of their old signs which looks great! Service is great and the owners are more often there than not. Great business! Also note, Prices are cheaper at the restaurant than if you order on UberEATS. read more
