    Napoli dynamite
    Daniel C.

    To preface, I'm more of a New York style, thin yet crunchy crust pizza kind of person. However, maker pizza makes an amazing Neapolitan pizza that deserves 5 stars. Service is pretty efficient and got the pizza nice and hot. Overall, the dough is thin and crispy but has a nice chew still - probably one of the best Neapolitan style pizza doughs I've had in Toronto. I like that they had the outer crust slightly risen for a cleaner experience yet the crust is still so delicious that it's easily finished. The So Mushroom pizza is topped to the brim with savory and earthy mushrooms, the garlic and basil stand out for the base pie flavor (this one is white base so no tomatoes) and the mascarpone is placed in strategic blobs to add a smooth, cheesy creaminess that contrasts the earthy mushrooms. The Napoli dynamite has amazing house made sausage that is meaty but not too salty. The green olives pack a bit of salt but adds a nice surprise with certain bites. I'm saying this even though I generally don't like olives. The pickled jalapeño adds some spice but because it's pickles, it's definitely toned down. I'd say if you like a little spice, don't be turned off because it says jalapeño, the spice level is definitely manageable! Price: It's definitely pricier than your typical chains like Pi Co or Blaze at around 20$ a small pizza but definitely worth it. Gather some friends and share a large (or two) and you'll definitely impress everyone there.

    Lovely customer service and delicious pizza. Cookies were also surprisingly good. DR. PEPPERONI is a must try for a pizza lover.

    Maker pizza is doing pizza the right way. Chewy and soft crust and the best toppings. Their dipping is what really sets them apart, the chili oil garlic sauce is so goated. Though because it is more expensive than most pizza shops I only get it once in a while. I wish they had casual indoor seating since it takes up to 25 minutes to wait for an order.

    Yummy and cheesy garlic bread pizza! This thing was so flavorful and cheesy! The aroma and taste of the fresh garlic was strong (in a good way) and the cheese and dough were great quality. My only complaint is the sauce pairing. It was sweet (like a sweet salad dressing) and didn't seem to fit the flavor profile of the bread.

    Frank's Best Pizza
    Danielle B.

    This is the best pizza I've had in Canada! I got a 16" Frank's Best pizza and let me tell you - this was almost too good to be true. As someone who prefers a red sauce base, I was surprised at how flavourful and saucy the pizza was. All of the toppings worked so well together and they did not skimp on the honey drizzle. The sauces were great and very necessary when it got to the crust, which I found to be pretty dense and hard to chew. (So realistically I'd give this place a 4.5/5) But other than that, I have no complaints about this pie!

    Delicious pizza but damn is the price high. You're looking at spending about $60 for 2 12" pizzas with 2 sauces. The pizza is perfectly made NYC style. Thin and great crust. For someone who likes crust... This was heaven. The sauce was unreal. It's creamy garlic with chilli oil and when you mix it up you've got the best dip for your pizza. Definitely try tropic thunder and the Dr pepperoni. Yum. The first one is a bit soggy due to the onions and everything but still pretty good. This location is new and is just a place to order. No dine in, just pick up. You can call ahead - takes about 20-25min. Slow down when driving so you don't miss the entrance. They do have flags outside but keep a lookout!

    love this place. fresh pie's that have the perfectly chewy crust. our favourite is 100% Frank's best, with the sesame coated crust and honey drizzle and just bubbling with cheese. The pepperoni one is also delicious along with the napoli dynamite. they get busy so make sure you order well in advance.

    Tropic Thunder has become my new favorite pizza. The sauce and dough were both really amazing.

    No seating and storefront is a bit makeshift. Can't order a single slice is also a con. The pizza is great however

    What I really appreciated was the balance of toppings; there was just enough pepperoni without overwhelming the pizza.

    This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

    Nice local Italian restaurant that is enjoyed by us locals as well as those who come down for shows…read moreat the St Lawrence ctr for the arts and the Meridian Hall as well as sports fan here for games. They have a great stock of wines and an impressive drink list that we don't get to enjoy as we can't handle drinks these days. We do enjoy the food and the friendly service immensely tho. Lots of options for shareable apps; excellent options on pizzas and pastas; and I am always impressed with their mains (as someone that has to limit carbs, options can be limited at some Italian restos). They are also understanding of reasonable diet requests. They have gluten-free options as well. It is more of a "quiet" restaurant in terms of the clientele chatter, at least for the times I was there, so I can hear the music they play ("oldies"!!!!)
