Cheap affordable yummy pizza! They're constantly making fresh pizza so don't be surprise if you have to wait a while. very little inside and a few benches to sit outside. we waited out 20 mins for a fresh slice pizza. They topped the cheese pizza with their famous green garlic oil. there's more on the side as well if you'd like more. Not the best pizza but it's definitely solid read more

On a windy corner in December, I strolled into a small pizza shop. American football was on the T.V. and every seat was taken. An older Asian man is emptying out the garbage, and students near the end of finals are taking a break. The cooks constantly come from the kitchen with food. Meanwhile the counter man deftly removes a perfectly baked pizza or warms up a slice for the new customer. The door continually opens and sends in cold air, but the warmth of the pizza and counter people make up for it. This is it. This is NYC pizza, but elevated, due to the basil oil. This is perfect thin crust Margherita. This is the pizza place you must visit in Toronto. I also ordered the penne arrabbiata, which was perfectly balanced in spices. They give you complementary garlic bread, also good. Prices are reasonable and the quality is excellent. Run, don't walk here. read more

A pizza institution in the city. This old school spot has huge slices at good prices. Got margherita and pepperoni slices, and both had perfectly charred crusts, beautifully stringy cheese, and generous toppings. Slight edge to the margherita because of how tastily garlicky it was. read more

Affordable, delicious, fresh and a must get! This has been trending all over social media so of course had to check it out for myself. Their pizzas are made fresh in house and super affordable. The best part? Their complimentary garlic scallion oil that you can brush onto your slice of pizza. It's $5 a slice if paid with cash and $5.65 if paid with card. Tried both the pepperoni and margherita slice, both were fresh, crispy. cheesy and delicious. The pizza was cooked perfectly and made me want more as I was eating it. This spot deserves all the hype, especially with it's price point and slice size! read more

This place is so good. This place has amazing pizza for amazing prices. I've ordered their full pies multiple times before and recently had their individual slices. Every single time, you can tell how good these folks are at making a memorable pizza. The crust is crispy, sharing similarities with NY-style pizza, as well as mouth watering garlic/basil butter on top. The workers are quick, reliable, and kind. I wish I can eat this every day!! By the way, 2 MASSIVE slices and 2 drinks for 13 CAD? Good stuff, Fresca. read more

Fresca Pizza & Pasta - Pepperoni Pizza Slice - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been coming to Fresca since I was an elementary school student. The quality hasn't changed at all. I ordered my go to, the margherita slice and it was 5$ if paid by cash. Although I skipped it this time because I was on a diet, make sure you get the complimentary garlic oil. The seating is very limited and there is usually a line. This is one of my favorite pizza spots in Toronto and you really cannot go wrong with it. read more

A friend recommended Fresca and described it to me as an "Asian-owned, no-nonsense, dependable slice of pizza" and that's exactly what it turned out to be. My hot take is that Toronto's becoming too saturated with artisan, region-specific, fancy pizzerias that charge $30 for a small pie. Fresca is none of that. The staff is friendly and (incredibly) efficient, and turn over $5 slices like a conveyor belt. These slices hit the perfect combination of crispy (with the cracker-like crunch) with a little bit of doughiness to soak up any potential alcohol that may or may not be in your system. The next time I get hungry after a big night out in Little Italy, I know that I'll be making my way over to Fresca, get disappointed that they're closed for the night, and settle for a lacklustre slice elsewhere. Domino's will have to do... read more

I really enjoyed it. I also don't quite get the hype to the fullest extent, but it's still very good pizza at a fair price. And of course, the famous garlic and basil oil is quite nice. The fact that it's a bit overhyped is a bit of a bonus in a way since it ensures your slice is completely fresh. I'd be a regular if I was in the area often, but I wouldn't necessarily tell anyone to come out of their way to visit either. read more

My friends brought some pizza over for our games night, and it was pretty good. They ordered two pizzas, and it took about 30 minutes to be ready. Apparently, these pizzas have a Vietnamese twist? I'm not exactly sure what the twist is... maybe it's the green sauce they let customers drizzle on top? This place is usually quite busy, with lineups outside the door. Overall, I thought the pizza was good (that's saying a lot because I'm usually not a pizza person). We had to pop it in the oven to warm it up a bit, but not bad if you enjoy pizzas with a thin crust. It's not very cheesy, though, so if you're after a big cheese pull, you might want to add more cheese. read more

Freaca Pizza feels like it's been around forever--in the best way. The team has the right energy, working together like they actually care. Service is straight to the point, with a no-nonsense, broey vibe. The pizza? Thin, simple, and solid. No fancy cheese or toppings, just basic and good. read more

Line up was crazy long. Pizza was thin and crispy and overall good but there was an overload of pepperonis. I personally don't like it with too much pepperonis but the pizza was covered fully which made it too salty. For the wait time, I don't think it's that worth it. ALSOO the server who handles the cash register takes the money, and then touches the dough and toppings with his hands without washing or putting on gloves. Area could be a little cleaner IMO. Tables are dirty after customers leave there are sauce and crumbs along the counter. Service was slow and took so long. Lineup was long, and to wait for the pizza, it took quite a long time as well. read more

Fresca Pizza & Pasta - Large Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I come here a lot. You simply can't beat these five dollar slices along with a station to dress the slice in sauces and other mixtures. The ambiance is communal, many others also know and love this spot, there are benches to sit outside, and the wait (often between 5-10 minutes) is well worth the price and taste. Service here is impressive, I wonder how a family business is able to take so many orders and make so many pizzas with such consistency almost every single day. Thank you Fresca for being a university staple, a place to convene, a stoned-out-of-my-mind adventure, a pitstop, and a home, for my loved ones and I. read more

I just dropped in for the $5 slice of pizza. The slices were definitely a good size for the value in this current economy, but it just wasn't the best pizza I have ever had like some people have claimed. It had a good flavor, but the crust could use some work. The shop is very small, but there are some seats to dine in, which we did, and service was quick and effective. We needed to use the restroom but the long dark hallway was kind of scary so we opted to hold it and find another place to go. read more

I love their pepperoni slices and the green garlic oil drizzled on top is a must! It makes it extra delicious and adds a beautiful colour and texture. Always a line up in this tiny place but service is fast and friendly. Slice is $5 if paid in cash I usually sit in front window area despite it being cramped. This place is definitely a Toronto institution. Highly recommend! read more

Get a freshly made, generous slice of pizza for $5 cash. Crust is thin and sauce is nice and slightly sweet. The pepperoni slice was delicious and just out of the oven. Reminded me of an elevated version of pizza pizza. The Hawaiian was not as great but still a pretty solid choice. You can't compare this place to specialty pizza shops but for an affordable family run shop that is a neighbourly staple, it's a reliable and simple option. Service is quick and friendly. Basic seating inside. Self serve station with garlic oil, red pepper flakes, etc. read more

If you're looking for a slice on the go, Fresca is great value! My friend and I split a slice of pizza which was $5 since we paid in cash. What we got: - Margherita Slice Final Thoughts: Not my favourite slice in the city, but the location is convenient and the portion is good value for money. Fresca also has a yummy garlic oil that you can load up onto your slice and it makes the pizza bit oily but the garlicky flavour really levels up the pizza. Wouldn't be my first choice spot, but a great option right by College and Spadina. read more

Fresca Pizza & Pasta - IG @mwy.eats - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a family restaurant and the most amazing part is their delicious Italian food is made by a non-Italian family! They speak a little English, but they're smart enough to write down your order and show it to you to make sure they get it right! They have a few tables for dine-in, but most of their customers order for takeout. There's also washroom downstairs if you're dining in. Their pizza tastes amazing and if you want to be able to cherish the taste, you need to wait a bit for it to get cold, since it's very hot right out of oven. The prices are really good, so next time I visit, I'll make sure I order extra for takeout! read more

Been wanting to give this place a try seeing as there was quite a bit of great reviews from social media and also we like to enjoy good pizza. Came by on a Saturday around 7pm and the place was busy and we ordered a XL Deluxe pizza for $22 before taxes and it was about 45 mins wait which is fine. This deluxe is a bit different from the usual as it doesn't have any mushroom, but you can ask for their special house made garlic onion oil sauce that they apply on the pizza. Overall, the pizza is decent, but I've had better pizza overall. The price is really good though for XL. read more

This is a nice pizza shop. The price is good. The slice is big. Honestly I felt like it lacked a little flavor but they had good topping options like pesto and a red sauce that was really good. I'm from New York so I had high expectations but this is definitely a solid slice. read more

Amazing,awesome, i love pizza. The service was amazing very good I loved it. The ambiance was very good I loved the sun and the breeze.

The Margherita Pizza is outstanding! It's $5 for a huge slice and $18 for an XL pie. Its pretty cost effective and tasted really good. I've been to this place thrice and each time the service was great. The staff is helpful and patient. Ambience is decent and can seat around 20-25 people at a time. They have 1 nice outdoor bench which is a good spot to enjoy your pizza during summers. We also really liked their Arrabbiata pasta which was priced for $8, quantity was pretty good for the price. Overall a must visit read more

One of my favourite pizza joint in Toronto! What makes this place unique is their garlic oil that you can brush onto your pizza slices to enhance the flavor. I absolutely love garlic so this is a game changer and I don't know any other pizza joints that serve this garlic oil. The garlic oil also comes on top of their margarita pizzas too. Their pizza is thin crust, also my favourite type of pizza crust! Crispy and not too doughy with a nice cheesy layer. Currently, the price per slice is $4.50 if paid by cash and it can be cut in half to make two slices - honestly the slices are so big, when the one slice is cut it appears like you're getting two slices for the price. The small pizza is also at a good price point for $12 (comes with 4 big slices). They also serve pasta and other food menu items here but I've never tried them before. The place is always super busy on the weekend when we come by with line ups out the door. They also do free delivery but it can take up to an hour or longer because they only have one main delivery person. It is a small family owned business with limited workers making the pizza and taking orders. If they are overloaded with orders, they may not pick up the phone! If they do pick up, I highly recommend placing an order in advance if you want to come for pick up. I've come here on a Saturday and they're consistently running out of pizza on the display case because once it had come out of the oven, they're so busy that it runs out quick! The interior could use a bit of work with renovations and they are so busy that they probably could use another staff member to help out. But other than that, amazing pizza! read more

Fresca Pizza & Pasta - Pepperoni pizza with garlic oil. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A couple of Thursdays ago, after a fun time at FreePlay playing all my favourite 80's arcade games, I had worked up an appetite. Fresca Pizza and Pasta was around the corner from where I had parked. I decided to check it out before heading home. I like stumbling into an eatery for the first time and not knowing a thing about it. A nice young man said hi. I reciprocated, thrilled to seek some shelter from spitting rain. I looked at the menu on the wall. I asked if I could get a veal sandwich. It's a family-run business. He had to ask his mom (I presume) whether it was available. The place had stopped baking bread for the day, so any sandwich wasn't available. I looked at the pizza slices. I asked what I was looking at. They all looked so good. He was so patient and let me know what varieties were there. I went with the pepperoni slice that looked huge. He asked if I was dining in. I said yes because I was hungry. He quickly warmed up my pizza slice in the oven, placed it on a paper plate, and handed it over to me. I paid with a debit card. I tapped and tipped. All was great. I then went to sit down. OMG! I didn't realize that I was about to have the best pepperoni slice in my life. The crust was so thin and crispy. The pepperoni was perfect. I got a bit of veggies on the side of this slice. This place makes a huge pizza for pizza slices, half with veggies and half with pepperoni. The garlic oil on top was so good and addictive. I absolutely loved this pizza slice. I sat there and ate for maybe ten minutes at the most. I saw one man come in and swipe all remaining margherita slices. He wanted them in a box. Another man came in and swiped the last veggie slice. This place is super popular. I sat there some more and watched the woman toss pizza dough up in the air and make a larg pizza. It was half veggie and half margherita. It was baked in ten minutes. It all makes sense why the dough is so thin. It bakes faster and is perfectly crispy. Once the large pizza was done, I saw it being cut and distributed to paying customers desperately waiting for them. I was contemplating getting another slice. I said yes to the margherita. I got a slice hot out of the oven, onto a paper plate, and placed in a paper bag. I paid again. It's $5 a slice. It's so worth it. I thanked the man again and walked out of the eatery. I headed to my car. My original thought was to bring it home and eat the slice there. I was inhaling the perfume that was garlic oil. Nope. My willpower was non-existent. I ate the slice in my car. So good. So addictive. The best pizza is here. The margherita slice was so fresh and flavourful. I am salivating remembering how yummy it was. I need to head back and get a large pizza. Just for me. No sharing. Yep, it's that good. I will lovingly tell you to go get your own and leave me to devour a whole pizza... haha! It was an excellent find. Thank goodness the veal sandwich was unavailable. Having pizza here was meant to be. The pizza is amazing. Come here for some! (48) read more

Fresca pizza was one of my stops when I visited Toronto. The margherita pizza was sooo good. A nice thin crust pizza with mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, oregano and topped with their garlic oil and you get a nice size slice for $5. I went back twice before I left Canada. The place was small but always packed and busy. read more

A small unassuming corner shop pizza places with reasonable prices and a GREAT SLICE. Their pizza is reminiscent of a New York slice in that the crust is thin and crispy. You have to get the Margherita slice which comes with a garlic parsley oil which is kinda pungent, so make sure you love garlic. It's absolutely delicious. They're constantly making fresh slices because they're quite busy, so you're guaranteed to get a good slice. read more

I learned that ordering a slice of pizza and eat it with their special garlic sauce is the best way to have Fresca pizza. I tried and the anecdote is absolutely correct!

Fresca Pizza. I passed this place so many times and thought...who is really going to this spot it doesn't look like much from the outside. Talk about judging a book by its cover. Inside is a family run business pumping out pizza and other Italian fare to the masses! I went in for a quick bite and the place was crowded with people just waiting to get a slice! They serve Pepperoni, Margarita and Deluxe slices all at a low cost of $5/slice or $5.50 if you pay with your card. The service was quick and friendly. The staff is laser focused on getting people served quickly and efficiently. I ordered the Margarita slice which is made with fresh basil, spices and topped with a garlic oil. They are constantly making fresh batches of pizza so I got a fresh slice right out of the oven. First bite...what can I say...I fell in love. The crunch, the sauce, the oozing cheese the delectable garlic oil! What a combo. It reminded me of NY slice pizza, thin, crispy and just yummy. The slice is huge, well priced and just delicious! It's impossible to find lunch in the city under $7 this good! They definitely live up to all the hype! I can't wait to go back and try the pepperoni and the deluxe! I learned my lesson. Never judge a book by its cover! read more

This family owned pizza place is always packed with people during lunch and after school hours. Finally decided to try it and it's not bad. It's really a fast food place that sells pizza. We really like the green onion oil that they have on the side. The pizza is good for the price that you are paying. It's also really fast service and quick too! Definitely recommend to come here once. read more

Fresca Pizza and Pasta is a no frills local joint selling fresh pizza, pastas, calzones, and salad. There is seating inside the store or they also have takeout and delivery options as well. Great place for a quick bite to eat. I stopped by Fresca on a weekday around noon and the place was pretty full. I ordered a slice of pizza from the limited options they had (I saw Hawaiian as well as deluxe slices) and got a slice of deluxe. The slice was re-heated promptly in the oven. I sat down by the window to have my slice of pizza and was pleasantly surprised how hot and delicious it was. I should have folded my pizza slice to eat but attempted to pick up the huge slice to eat bite by bite (which was a mistake...the ingredients slid off the pizza and I quickly placed everything back on the dough and folded it). Overall, pizza was hot, fresh, and cheap. Great place if you're looking for a fast and easy lunch option which won't break the bank! Excited to come back to try their other pizza flavours as well. read more

I have to say one of the most reasonably priced pizzas ever, service was super quick in and out less than 5 mins, inside wasn't that great lot of wasps, didn't seem clean but what matters is the taste, I ordered four margherita slices and the owner is extremely hardworking, and gives his signature basil oil on the pizza very thin crust very crispy melts in your mouth, simpler the better, not as good as badialis but pretty close, it feels like I'm in Italy, excellentjob owner is very respectful, I really like the thin crust, read more

One of the best pizza spots in the city! The margarita pizza is a classic that never disappoints.

Pros: - Taste and sauce is good. They also brush some "green" sauce (as they call it) on the pizza which is tasty. - Crust is thin and cooked well. - Good price / cheap. Cons: - Long wait ; I waited over 30 minutes for a small pizza. - Place is dirty; flies everywhere, super hot / no AC. - Pizza is super greasy. I mean extremely oily - like oil was dripping from the pizza as I ate it. - Service is non-existent. It's good pizza taste / texture wise, but in my opinion very overrated. The pizza was far too oily for me. read more

I went to New York to search for a NY slice and I tried several items but nothing came close to Fresca. I tried 3 spots in nyc that were recommended in eater, such a disappointment. I even asked a fellow new jersey friend and they also recommended Fresca. Huge tip, if you can wait for a fresh slice please do. It's so worth it. Make sure to drench it out in that delicious green garlicky oil. It's a take out place mostly with a few seats. It's a legendary spot for torontos pizza scene. read more

Walking into this establishment, there's a short line of customers, busy workers and a glass counter where you can see the pizza slice options. I got the cheese slide topped with a couple leaves of Basil. Ordering was quick and the wait for the slice to heat up in the over was ~5 minutes. We were luck enough to be able to grab a table as the place was packed. There were about 10 or so tables and a washroom in the back. It was pretty hot inside with the oven on and felt like the kind of place to literally grab a slice, quickly eat it and go about your day. After my slice was handed to me, I went over to the condiment section near the entrance to dab on their free haptic butter and drizzle on their hot sauce which tasted very similar to franks red hot (my fav). The slice itself was hot and crispy with was really stretchy cheese pull. The crust was crisp and thin enough for the perfect fold. And the slice was MASSIVE. It was the perfect snack and only $5! I would recommend Fresca over and over again! read more
