Finally, an excellent pizza place north of the city! I finally got around to trying Molisana and I think we've ended our search for great pizza in Aurora/Newmarket. After working in Woodbridge for a few years, I was spoiled with a lot of good pizza options and sadly I had such a hard time finding really good pizza. This is really good pizza! You walk in and the delicious smell of pizza and tomato sauce fills your nose. It's a real treat. The space itself is clean and spacious. Last I went the seating area was closed off, I'm not sure if that has changed now that indoor dining is permitted again, but I'd say this is mostly a take-out type of place. The first time we went we ordered a slice of pizza and a veal sandwich. The pizza was reheated in the oven and it was crispy on the bottom and chewy and cheesy on the top. The sauce was a bit sweet, tart and fresh tasting which is how I like it. It was an excellent slice of pizza. The veal sandwich was also great, it comes with all the toppings except cheese which is a $1 and some change extra. We always opt for cheese but it was nice that the extras like mushrooms and peppers are included in the price. Again, this was tasty, smothered in that same tomato sauce in a nice crusty but soft bun. The second and third time we came, we called them directly to order a party sized pizza and we also tried a rosé pasta. The pizza is massive and it was only $24 + tax plus it comes with pepperoni. Additional toppings are extra. It could truly feed a party, we had leftovers for days! The rosé pasta was SO good. So rich and creamy, it was from their hot plate selection so don't expect Al Dente noodles but it was so yummy, I cleaned the dish. Again, this was reasonable for around $10-$11 and it was a large portion. Service is prompt, I've ordered twice over the phone and they've been friendly and my order was always ready and hot when I arrived to pick it up. The store also stocks a few Italian groceries and frozen items like lasagnas, pastas, and sauces. Prices seem decent considering the brands they stock, they seem to all be imported or made in house items. Overall I'm so happy to have found our new pizza place. I'm also looking forward to trying some other items like their deli sandwiches and dinner plates. As a pizza snob, this is the best we've found in the Aurora/Newmarket area and we'll keep coming back for more! read more

The food is good and fresh . Coffee was fresh too but it wasn't hot like I didn't enjoy it . Veggie pizza had no taste , rice cheese ball was bland . I went to get fresh bread but there was not much variety . read more

Great options. Loves their chicken and veal dinner. Cappuccino was delicious. The service was super quick. Will definitely be back read more

The panzerotti are great, very fresh and flavourful. Wish there were some vegetarian options, rapini would taste so good wrapped in that delicious dough. Casual eatery environment, very friendly service. read more

been coming here for years!! Amazing portion sizes & incredible food, hits all the right notes. Highly recommend the veal sandwich (ask for extra sauce & cheese if you don't mind a bit of mess). One of the best in the GTA. read more

Busy lunch spot in Newmarket and with good reason. Their sandwhiches are delicious! I had the meatball sandwhich the other day and it came with 3 huge beatmalls with cheese (add-on). It wasn't as hot as I like so I ended up heating it for a few seconds in the microwave and the cheese just melted. It was SOOO GOOD. Today I had the veal on a bun. It was tasty but the veal was a bit hard so not good for eating in a sandwhich. Would probably be better if it was eaten with a knife and fork. Finished my lunch with a san pellagrino orange soda. Yummy! Their pizzas also look delicious, fresh and loaded with great topping combinations. And yes like others have mentioned, not much "pastries" here. They do have some bulk breads for you to buy but that's it. read more

Just picked up some crusty rolls for dinner. Just a bit put off about distracted staff glued to there phone texting instead of looking after customers. read more

The low down: A great place for a quick bite to eat! Great mom-and-pop shop ambiance. Busy and popular during lunch times! Recommendations: 1) Veal parmesan -- the go-to (I got this for lunch!) 2) Meat Lover's panzarotti Things I liked about the place: A good clean, well-organized, and spacious atmosphere (seat approx. 20-30 people). Tasty and fresh food. Things you may not have known: They cater as well apparently! read more

Molisana Bakery - a plate of food on a tray - Bakeries Near Me - Newmarket, Ontario

I liked this place, I really did, but there was a few things that urked me. The chicken cutlet sandwich uses Sweet tomato sauce instead of the traditional san marzano style sauce, which really ruins the flavor of the cutlet, and they pour the sauce on instead of dunking it in sauce, which causes what I call, an improper sauce to cutlet ratio. Its no california sandwiches, but its decent. This bakery doesnt even sell any baked goods, just deli meats, hot plate items and some bread all of which was sold out at 1pm on saturday.....go figure. I'd skip this place and go to california sandwiches for food. read more

was headed to a party and I picked up 10 treats to share. not fresh and expensive at $3 per donut very disappointed and embarrassed

So I am now a Newmarket-onian, for lack of a better term, and I just happen to live super close to this little piece of heaven. Right off of Yonge Street in the plaza with the Mandarin, this place is tucked away, but not hard to miss. A legit, Italian bakery that caters, serves food to order as well as full meals to take home. Full lasagnas ready for the family, and even sizes for singles like me. They serve fresh bread, pizza, Italian produce and desserts! Yes, heaven. And I must include that they have a sit in area. Lots of seats for those like me who order and want to scarf down their food right away! Talk about a torturous car ride home, why put yourself through that if you don't have too? So for my first time at Molisana (yes, I have been multiple times in the 2 weeks I have lived here) myself and the BF ordered hot sandwiches. One chicken on a bun, served with fresh mozzarella and pasta sauce and the other meat ball on a bun, served the same as the chicken. We split both sandwiches, half for half, to get best of both worlds. These sandwiches were so delicious and super messy. By the way, you know you've found a keeper when your Sig-Other continues to go out with you in public after watching you scarf down a messy meatball sub. Not attractive. Maybe not the best place for a first date. For all you Yelpers, you know I would never mislead you. Out of all the items I have tried at Molisana, I definitely suggest the meatball sandwich. It's amazing. You cannot go wrong with this piece of heaven. They make their own bread and the meatballs don't have any filler. It's legit! As for my most recent visit, I stopped in for a slice of pizza. They have 10 kinds to choose from each day. I grabbed the ham and pineapple slice and last minute grabbed a small side of grilled veggies. I don't know what they put on these vegetables but for the first time I enjoyed them more than my pizza. That's a scary thought coming from my meatatarian mouth. I insist that you try Molisana. Especially on a Sunday after a good bender. Did I mention that meatball subs are the perfect cure to a hangover? Works for me. Buon appetito. Tiff read more

Lasagna to go is always my excellent choice & their best take-out plate! Remember to request chili green pepper on the side!! Every time i am passing by around lunch time, I think of their delicious Lasagna. very much recommended for a very reasonable price too! read more

Our school always gets our catering done here. The pasta and Greek salad are always our favourites. We love that the owners are friendly even when it's busy. All the entrees one with a freshly baked bun and the pasta is top notch. On a Friday when the weekend is approaching, it's the perfect carb treat! We also love the Greek salad that using a red wine vinaigrette. It's super light and not too oily either -- the dressing definitely adds a lot of flavour to the salad. The party size pizza feeds about 8 people if you grab some other food too then there's definitely lots to munch on. However if you're super hungry, 1 Party size pizza may not be enough for 8. Overall, I definitely recommend this place if you're around the Aurora/NEWMARKET area or if you need a catering place. Call In advance for large orders and you're good to go to pickup on your requested date. read more

Wow! That's what I have to say first off this is a hidden away Italian gem. This restaurant has a little seating area where you can enjoy the authentic Italian cuisine. They even have take away pizza's u can order. Which I did after I sat for lunch. Many Italian places have products that don't have that homemade love, here they do AND you can even buy a them to take home like a jar of their wonderful tomato sauce. ***** 5 meatballs ***** X read more

Molisana bakery. Not too shabby. Came in here for a pastry and an espresso... Couldn't find the pastry but the espresso was decent. $2 per shot. It was long and hot and delicious. Did the trick. Probably won't be back to be honest. It's a bit out of the way for me and the parking lot is a little crazy, but the price is right and the flavour is on point. Just personal preferences. I did see they had a hot table which was happenin' during lunch hour. Check it out! read more

A great place to get a big plate of Italian cuisine. Served mostly from a hot table, there are a variety of options that make for great variety. For a quick dinner, I had a veal with pasta, which had a large slice of veal on a plate of penne, a bunch of steamed veggies, smothered in maranara sauce. All the food is hot and fresh, and overall great flavour. If you are serious about Italian food, note that this is not a fine dining establishment, rather it is more like a cafeteria with a serving line. As a result, my veal was not as tender, and the veggies were a bit bland compared to other table service "made to order" places I have tried. But for a fast, big meal, this is ample an satisfying. read more

You can't beat their meat Top veal sandwich in the area, fantastic sauce, price of sandwich $7.50 for the veal includes free toppings (not incl cheese). My fave is everything less the cheese, great hot peppers, lots of onions & mushrooms. The service is efficient & polite and no one walks away hungry Nice selection of pasta, dry & fresh, meats & sauces as well as breads I'm there at least once a month and when I say once a month I really mean at least twice. I go regularly enough that if I stopped then Visa might call me to see if I'm OK lol read more

Popped in during the lunch prep in the morning. Super homie feel with lots of pasta and homemade sauce to purchase. No food ready however staff was super accommodating. Made my brother and I deli sandwiches. Lots of meat, made fresh with love! Also purchased a hot antipasto called "la bomba" that I can't wait to try! read more

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Chicken sandwiches are amazing and decently priced. Line ups are out the door during lunch time hours. Staff move very quickly to get all their hungry customers in and out! Love this place, I come in between 3-4 times a week!! read more

Shared the cheese pizza, chicken cutlet sandwich and 2 veal cutlets a la carte with a bottle if mango nectar for about $20. One of the best pizza and veal cutlet I've had. Definitely will be back read more

Fantastic fresh foods and great service. The owner makes the best sandwiches and doesn't cheap out on the ingredients. read more

Always consistent food available here ... Traditional Italian staples like veal, pizza, pastas are very good. Really only one salad available ( basic iceberg with options like onions, feta, tomato, olives), with dressing a tad oily. Price for this side salad a tad steep. Excellent coffee. read more

The best pizza in Newmarket. Also love there veal and chicken sandwiches...hot plate type restaurant with fresh Italian options.

The best Italian hot table for lunch anywhere. Daily specials. At least 8 pizzas on the go by the slice. Cheap lunch for under $5 if you get a slice and a drink. Fast counter staff make the line move quickly. Even if you walk in and think it will take too long, WAIT. It won't take long. And it is worth the wait. Eat in or take out. Friendly owners and staff. Veal sandwich is legendary. I often get the bread to take home and enjoy. The jars of tomato sauce are pricey but when you take them home and cover some pasta, you taste the quality. Someone's Nona took some time to jar them up. Garden salad with chicken isn't a menu item and works out to be expensive but a great order and worth it. They would do well to add a soup or two over the winter months. 'dm read more

Normally most hot plate Italian bakery spots always are a 4 plus star winner for me. I'm not sure what's up with this place but its kinda getting less good each time I go. Pasta is just moosh, not overly tasty, and kinda pricey, the meatballs were oddly thick and kinda bland. Meh, not too impressed. read more

Extremely average Italian food. Decently priced.. but for what it's worth I won't be coming back here. Pasta was over cooked and cold.. and the worst part are the employees. They were extremely EXTREMELY rude and rushed us across the assembly line. read more

They have a hot table that you can pick up a quick lunch at, their veal on a bun is great and their salads aren't bad at all. It's not fine dining but it's good, hearty meals. read more

The wife and I love this place. We've ate in, had takeout and catering, and it never disappoints. Classic, old school italian eating. We love that you can purchase their bottled sauces. Our go to italian restaurant in Newmarket. read more

Best Veal & Chicken Parm North of Woodbridge!! You can also get fresh bread, pasta, pizza dough, and other ingredients.They also have a great 'made-to-order' menu. I am going to pickup my party size pizza now! read more

Literally been going here since I was in kindergarten , great food great staff long line at lunch some times

We ordered the mixed salad, pizza (on flatbread) and the antipasto for a group of 25 and it was great. The medium antipasto tray was very large and we had leftovers from it - the pizza on flatbread was excellent and it went very quickly. Salad was fresh and the dressing on the side was light and not too tangy. I'd also like to add that the person I ordered through was very helpful in helping choose the right size for the group I had and making recommendations for the food that would best suit the type of party I was having which proved to be very helpful. Perfect for a crowd - everyone asked where it was from! Great job Molisana. read more
