I was in for my shawarma craving and I got Beiruti Beef Shawarma Sandwich. It was totally delicious!! It had parsley pesto, lamb & beef brisket shawarma, arugula, pickled shallots, cherry tomatoes, tahini, garlic & oregano sauce. I have been here several times before and food is always amazing. The establishment is clean and well-maintained. The staff is professional and friendly.
We got to try their housemade hibiscus tea and it was nothing like the generic chain versions. Aromatic, flavorful, and refreshing, it paired perfectly with the loaded meal we had. The labneh board came with a yogurt base topped with sumac and honey, mint and parsley gremolata, and za'atar with pistachios. Every bite was light, bright, and fragrant. The hummus board was richer, layered with beef brisket, sujuk sausage, roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic confit, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, and tahini. Both boards came with bread that was impossibly fresh, crisp on the outside and soft inside. We wished they sold it on its own because we couldn't get enough. The (not) sandwiches were fully loaded and absolutely delicious. It honestly took us a minute to figure out how to tackle them, but once we did, we were in heaven. The beef was tender and juicy, paired with parsley pesto, braised beef, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, tahini, and garlic toum. The chicken came with shawarma chicken, pickles, garlic toum, tahini, and pomegranate molasses. Both were winners. The restaurant itself is small with limited seating, but reservations can be booked online. The staff were warm and welcoming, and we had such a great time. We'll definitely be back to try their famous (not) pizzas.
My first time dining at Levant Pizza and I was definitely impressed. I've been seeing their Sicilian style middle eastern pizzas on the internet for a while and always wanted to try them. We got the Meat Habibi which was absolutely delicious. I'd return for more pizza. I also tried the Egyptian Beef Shawarma sandwich - a new item on their menu which was a combination of perfectly cooked shawarma meat and a soft pillowy bun with sauces. Also tried their Labneh Board and Hummus board - both great options to share. Rounded off with their absolutely sinful and delicious Pistachio Kunafa.
This was our first time here and everything was so delicious! I got the new Egyptian Beef Shawarma Sandwich, the Hummus Board and the Hibiscus drink. Egyptian Beef Shawarma Sandwich: $9.50 8-hour braised brisket roasted with tomatoes, onions, parsley, and beef jus - stacked on a soft potato bun with tahini and pomegranate molasses. The beef sandwich was very flavourful and loved reading the beef was slow roasted for 8 hours! It had a bit of spice to it but loved the cherry tomatoes inside it. Hummus Board: $19 Creamy garlic confit hummus, crowned with zesty sujuk sausage, tender beef brisket, and smoky fire-roasted cherry tomatoes. served with signature 4-day fermented breadsticks. The Hummus Board was loaded with flavours and I loved the combination sausage and beef with the hummus and cherry tomatoes. I also enjoyed using the breadsticks to scoop up the hummus and other yummy ingredients. I really liked learning they are 4 day fermented breadsticks. It sounded healthier which has become important to my diet and gut health. The hibiscus drink was delicious and refreshing! Perfect on a hot day like today. My friend got the OG Shawarma Pizza and we both loved it. It looked like a work of art! The OG Beef Shawarma Pizza: $21 Parsley pesto, mozza, braised beef, pickled onion, cherry tomato, tahini, arugula. Overall I loved the look of the foods and the great customer service. Big thanks to our server and to the cook John who also greeted us. I'm glad we went early when they opened at 11:30am. It's a small place and the few tables filled fast!
We got there just after 3:30 PM, which is their posted opening time on Google, but were told the boss might be late. Thankfully, he showed up a few minutes later. The employee was super friendly and welcoming right away. The boss started off a bit cold but later warmed up and was accommodating. The place is small, cozy, and has a nice vibe. I had the beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches and the lebnah board and both the sandwiches were packed with flavor, juicy, and so good. Even the next day, the leftovers were still tasty. The visit started a little rocky, but the food was amazing. I'd definitely come back for another try.
We visited this place as I am quite a fan of Mediterranean flavors and their online menu looked quite enticing. Located a few steps away from Ossington subway, the Levant (not) Pizza restaurant stands amongst other african businesses. The host greeted us warmly and we were soon offered the menu. We ordered the chicken Sandwich and Hummus board- as recommended by the host. As we waited for our order, I checked out the place and was surprised by how big the place actually is. Though they have a small seating area inside i.e. 5-6 tables and have a few tables on the outside patio, the kitchen is enormous. The entire kitchen is 2 storey with tall ceilings. It almost gives you an industrial yet a warm feel.The vibe of the place is pretty chilled. As we waited, we were offered a Hibiscus drink, which was quite refreshing on a hot friday evening. We were also served a bottle of water and 2 plastic cups--- the only part we didn't like was that the cups were kept down stacked one on another instead of placed nicely on the table. It didn't feel nice to be served that way. 5 minutes later our ordered arrived and on first impression it looked wonderful. The Hummus board came with 4 Foccachia breadsticks and good portion of hummus that was sprinkled with beef bits, pulled beef, cherry tomatoes and had a generous swirl of Olive oil on top. It tasted homely and warmed our soul. I wish there were more breadsticks, as 4 bread strips didn't feel enough. The chicken sandwich was a fresh bun stuffed with pulled chicken and pickles. The bun was extremely soft and the chicken had amazing Mediterranean flavors. It just melted in our mouths. We also ordered the Pistachio cream Kunafa and it was absolutely delicious. It was hot, chewy with all the melted cheese, crunchy and not too sweet. To Foodies: Do try the place. The food is amazing and I have truly become a fan of the sandwiches. Each bite just melts in your mouth. They are celebrating their anniversary and as foodies we should support such independent restaurants serving great food. To management: Congrats on your anniversary. The food is amazing and the service is decent. As a suggestion, you can play some nice, soft music in the background to add to the vibe. Also can amp up your service level a bit. But other than that, you guys are doing an amazing job. My best wishes to you for the future. Overall rating: 7.7 /10 Signing off, Rahul V.S. aka CanIndian Foodie.
What a spectacular spot in the neighborhood. I had a great time at Levant (not) Pizza! We tried a spread of different items and was not disappointed by any of them. Everything was so flavorful and new. If you have never tried Lebanese or Palestinian food, then I highly recommend you come check this out. Just look at the pictures! We tried their new sandwiches on the menu, one was Egyptian chicken shawarma and the other was Egyptian beef. Service was great, the staff are all wonderful and the food came out beautiful. Ambiance was nice, it is quite a small spot but enjoyable. Suitable for 4 people in a group. Definitely give this spot a try!
Came here for a yelp event - we got the hummus board and shawarma burger. We absolutely loved the hummus board with beef brisket and the bread to dip it in. The burger on the other hand was not my favourite - it was quite soggy and just didn't love the flavour. The pizza was also just okay - probably wouldn't order it again. I would definitely order the hummus board again if I were to come back!
For the photo of the mixed flavours, I got the following: Left to right and top to down: 1) OG Shawarma, 2) Meat Habibi, 3) roasted eggplant, tahini, mint (new item), 4) Honey, Labneh on Za'a tar. I ordered a harissa honey dip on the side (which was super thick - the way I like it). My favourite is the Meat Habibi. The mixing flavours in the sujuk & pepperoncini were super dynamic, and every bite was a pleasant surprise. The Shawarma was really decent too - I really enjoyed the mint and tahini flavours. I only wish that it had a bit more shawarma on it. Overall, I like the flavour profiles a lot. The only thing I think Levant pizza could really improve is that the dough was a bit too tough/overcooked. I think I was the only one who had that issue because I ordered them directly from the display counter - and they simply reheated the pizza for me instead of making them from scratch (hence the focaccia was overcooked). The server Tiva was super friendly, warm, attentive and inviting. Shout out to her, seriously. The interior of the store is very cozy.
Ordered a variety of items and everything was yummy! Really enjoyed the hummus board with sujuk sausage and roasted cherry tomato. Got the single mix & match pizza with half Meat Habibi and Falastine Aubergine (smoked eggplant) - enjoyed both, the meat habibi is a bit spicy and the falastine aubergine was very refreshing! Finished off with the Pistachio Cream Kunafa and liked how it was served warm! The restaurant is small and tight, so highly recommend making a reservation. Service was good, but a bit slow at times. They also had a few items that weren't available. Would come back to try their other pizzas!
recently tried the Beiruti Beef Shawarma and it was absolutely delicious! The only minor feedback is that it was a little bit on the salty side for my personal taste, but I really appreciated how fresh the shawarma was and the bread was absolutely amazing--you could tell it was made in-house. The service was an easy 10 out of 10. They were so friendly and helpful. They have so many other tempting options on the menu that I'm already looking forward to going back and trying something new. Highly recommend!
Picked this up to try at home and it is amazing! Made a grilled flatbread with cheese and used this to crisp up the flabread. Has amazing flavour, bit of spice & a bit of sweetness and is very savoury. Not sure if it's.always available or if I just got lucky when I was there, but try this red peepper spices butter if you can!

Great pizza albeit a bit overpriced. The service was ok perhaps a bit slow, but I think I just happened to come in at a weird hour. Otherwise, I'd definitely come back again. read more

This is Sicilian/Grandma/Detroit/Square style pizza (baked in a shallow casserole pan with ~1" high risen dough), primarily pan-Mediterranean, with minor yet notable Middle/Near East & North African influences. Essentially, it is Ancient Roman interpretation of Sicilian style pizza, due to the diversity of flavours offered. You can "Mix and Match" a large ($35, 14x14") with up to 3 "styles,", and small ($22, 9x9") with 2 "styles." The "styles" are the pizza profiles they offer, as noted below. You can also get 1 size with 1 style (L: $33-$36 & S: $17-$21). I would highly reccomend getting a large with 3 styles because the dough is an inch or so high, thusly very filling, and the 3 variations/styles of toppings all make a pie meant for sharing. It was arguably a 3-in-1 pizza. Also would reccomend trying the dips... Ordered a large with 3 styles: "Quattro Formaggi," "The Fig," & "Crispy and Creme." "The Fig" was the feature pie of the month and reminded me of what a rich (Ancient) Roman could have tried had this type of pizza been around then. They had the square-ish pie in 3 rows of styles. The dough here when I tried it, was not overly "white" in flavour, nor "sweet." It was highly "airy", and highly risen (~1" high). It had a very soft, yet firm, texture; almost like a firm sponge. Got it "regular-done." The underside was a nice darker golden colour. "Quattro Formaggi" ["red sauce, mozzarella, provolone, swiss, & okanagan goat cheese"] was savoury and well-marbled cheese combination with goat cheese crumble. Good overall. Great to balance out the other diverse styles; "The Fig" ["sumac walnut fig preserve, italian prosciutto, fresh figs, goat cheese, sumac oil arugula, balsamic & pomegranate reduction"] was out-of-this-world good. Ancient Rome vibes here, with the sweet, savoury, herbal flavours and diverse texture of the arugula, sauces, fresh pieces of figs & prosciutto & goat cheese... "Crispy and Creme" ["Red sauce, housemade kofta meatballs, mozzarella, provolone, persian fried onions, pickled red chilies, 7-spice creme dollops"] is another flavour punch: 2 cheeses, with kofta meatballs, (kofta is arabic for meatballs, roughly), sweet fried onions, pickled chilies, and a 7-spice creme (of some, respectable sort) on top. More savoury overall than "The Fig." Ordered 2 dips as well ("Harissa Honey Butter" dip and "Garlic Confit & Fresh Oregano" dip). Would reccomended both. Their dips actually accomodate the pizza's flavours and do not overpower. The "Harissa Honey Butter Dip" is (hot/pungent) red peppers (not sure if its multiple peppers, and other spices, or not) and honey. The "Garlic Confit & Fresh Oregano" dip was a superb garlic creamy dip. For about $35.00 (before tax, gratuity, dips), this is great value. In one pie, you get superbly done dough (savoury in its own right and not "bready"), a diverse taste of gourmet Ancient-Roman-style flavour profiles and textures (sweet, savoury, herbal, creamy, pungentness/hot, etc.), with the added addition of up to 3 styles in 1 pie! Is it better than Descendant Pizza? Respectfully, I'd say significantly so. Note1: I did try the following 5 appetizers ($9-$10 each); I found them generally "decent" overall and I would reccomend trying their large pizza with 3 styles firstly (Hummus & Muhamarra served with "sourdough za'atar focaccia sticks"): Harissa Honey Butter Cauliflower (sweet, smokey, spicy. served with 7-spice creme dip), Muhammara (roasted tomatoes, onions, peppers, pomegranate molasses, walnuts), Hummus Rosso, Hummus Verde & Hummus Bianco. Note2: I did try each of their 3 desserts and also found them "decent-good" overall too, $9 each (Tiramisu Kunafa was fav amongst our group): Traditional Kunafa (akawie cheese, mozzarella, rose & orange blossom water syrup, pistachio). Tiramisu Kunafa (kunafa with an italian twist - akawi cheese, mozzarella, marscapone, espresso syrup, organic cocoa dusting). Walnut Kunafa (cinnamon spiced walnuts, honey syrup). Note3: Did not try any sandwiches. Below is most of their pie profiles, and the diversity of toppings are worthy of dining out for, in my opinion: The Shawarma: Housemade parsley pesto, slow-roasted lamb, pickled shallots, mozzarella, provolone, bomba, cherry tomato, arugula, tahini drizzle. Sumac "Musakhan": Sumac carmelized onions, 7-spice chicken confit, saffron and lemon whipped ricotta dollops, fresh oregano. Meat Habibi: Ezzo's pepperoni, mediterranean sausage, kofta meatballs, mushrooms, pickled chilies, red sauce and cheese blend. drizzled with garlic confit & oregano sauce. [Vegetarian] Greens "Fatayer": Garlic confit, broccoli rabe, sumac, pomegranate molasses, shallots, and lemon & saffron whipped ricotta. Upside Down "Maqluba": Garlic confit, roasted mediterranean cauliflower & eggplant, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, provolone, 7-spice labneh creme. Potato Batata: Slow-cooked mushroom puree, sliced garlic potato, sauteed sherry mushroom, ontario honey drizzle. read more

Ossington was really popping this year and got super popular over the summer. So, I had to try out this pizza spot near Bloor West and Ossington. Levant serves a Sicilian pizza and they also have different italian sandwishes, kunafa and hummus as well. We got their Mix and Match pie which comes with two large slices, and we had to try their most popular Muffuletta sandwich. We got their Meat Habibi Pizza and their Shawarma Pizza, and both pizza were very unique. We absolutely adored their confit garlic and oregano dip that was paired with the pizza. The Muffuletta Sandwich was definitely a must try, and we love their genoa salami, ham and mortadella meat stack. It was for sure a great and filling sandwich. One comment about their pizza and sandwich though: both were a little bit oily and definitely left a lot of grease on our hands after we ate. However, overall, we would definitely still come and return to try their other pizzas and sandwiches. In the summer, they also have a cute little patio as well, which is a plus. read more

Loved the food! The hummus with breadsticks, yumm and so fresh my friends got the pepperoni, cheese, meat lover, I got the garlic zataar and the eggplant one. We loved the bread very fresh and fluffy. The food tastes better than it looks. We came in a bit late around 9:10 pm and wished they had informed us something like we take last order at 930 so order every thing, because I really wanted to try the kunafe but could not. Overall definitely worth visiting! read more

SOOOO GOOOOD! me and my friend got the Bianco Hummus which was incredible with the fresh bread on the side. Then we got a small pizza (which was perfectly sized for us!) one side was Hot Honey Pepperoni which was my favourite as well as the other side being Sumac Chicken which was sooooo good as well. The dough was fluffy and light and the garlic dipping sauce on the side was heaven. Also the atmosphere was so welcoming ! Highly recommend. I will for sure be coming back :) read more

I tried their Muffuletta sandwich and the Shawarma pizza. They are both delicious and with a bit middle eastern flare. I love trying new cuisine and this restaurant is a jack pot if you are looking for fusion cuisine. Such a hidden gem. Even my two pups agree! The server was so thoughtful to give them enough of water and a little pepperoni treats! read more

The kunafah wasn't special in and was served a bit cold. For $9 for a small size it can at least be hot. The flavor was okay. Portions generally seem small at this place but Only tried the Kunafah read more

This place is fantastic! So many different options and having a fiancé who is vegan, it's great to go to a spot where we both get equally delicious food. You can easily share a small with two people but get one each because you'll want leftovers! The fact you can combine two different types of slices in a small as well allows you to get some variety. Also - get the burnt tomato dipping sauce. You will not be disappointed. read more
