Food 4/5 Service 3/5 Ambiance 3/5 Food: We ordered a bunch of pizza's for our family. Bulgogi, AAA Steaky Smoked, Garlic Butter Chicken, & Veggie. We also ordered some chicken karage to try. I found the beef on the AAA Steaky Smoked & Bulgogi pizzas were very dry. Also the Garlic Butter Chicken didn't seem to have much garlic. This location is the only location near us now. I really wish the Yonge/Sheppard location hadn't closed. I thought their pizzas tasted better. Even though it is the same franchise. The veggie pizza tasted the best I think. But the rest of the family enjoyed the pizza & karage at leaste. Service: We were not impressed with the service. When we walked in to make an order it was just past 11.30am. The lady at the order window said we don't open until 12pm. Hubby was surprised as he had ordered at this location before 12pm in the past. Hubby felt she was a bit rude. So we went to a cafe nearby to hang out until 12pm. We came back & made our order. The lady who had told us to come back at 12pm was stomping around & put some other orders on the pick up table which were not ours. We ended up next door to order at Ikka Ramen (newly opened) to try their food as well. They were much nicer. Many came in to place an order & got their food before us. Made us wonder why our food was taking so long. We eventually got our pizzas but were not liking the service we received. Ambiance: Pizza Maru is actually combined with Katsuya now. The place is pretty ordinary looking. There are a bunch of booth tables. Most people seem to order takeout from here rather than dining in. The parking lot is not large & there are several potholes so be careful when driving in. I'm not sure if I would order here again. The service was surly & the pizza not as great. read more

Tried the Bulgogi flavor + sweet ranch sauce, which was life-changing! We also tried the karaage and that meal was huge and flavorful.

Ordered the signature shrimbul 13 inch pizza. I wasn't a huge fan of it and I wouldn't order the same pizza again. The dough was like a greenish colour which was cool. But all in all it just felt like a bunch of cheese and toppings on top of a bed of dough, for me I didn't think the flavours went that well together. The shrimps have the tail on it still so have to remove as you eat (if you prefer not to eat shrimp tails). I ordered delivery so can't comment on service or ambiance. read more

Tried Korean pizza for the first time. It tasted pretty good. I love how they have a huge variety of flavours to choose from, including adding toppings into the crust. However it is a bit more pricey than others. We also enjoyed the grilled chicken. read more

Super delicious and cheesy pizza! The only downfall is that you can't customize the pizza any other way except the way it is on the menu. It didn't take long for us to receive our pizza. We are inside and there was plenty of space. Definitely recommend this place! It's different from your average pizza but good! a must try. read more

Pizza Maru has the cheesiest pizza in the city. If you're looking for a strong cheese pull for you instagram/TikTok vids this is the place for you. We got the bulgogi beef pizza (10 inch) which I would rate 4 stars And the potato pizza (10 inch) which I would rate 5 stars since it was soooo cheesy. I preferred the potato pizza because it was heftier with more toppings than the other one. It really satisfied my cravings for cheese. The pizza is both cheesy and a bit sweet which was very enjoyable. The ambience and service of the restaurant was very good. Every time I've come here the service and staff have been very nice and kind. (Bonus tip: leave them a google review and you can get a free pop drink). Not pictured is the jalamayo dip sauce I got as well which was very delicious (and although not spicy it was still jalapeño flavoured). Keep a look on their instagram for their deals and specials because they post about them pretty often, and pizza Maru is quite expensive so the deals are very appreciated. read more

I ordered bulgogi pizza. Actually, two of them, because there was half price promo. Placed order over phone and took a bit too long to get there. The promo was for takeout only, but I decided to take some photos and a bite before heading out. Very flavourful, and not very greasy at all. I don't enjoy greasy pizza, so this was fantastic. The dough is also quite different, and you can see on the walls that it's a green tea based dough consisting of 10 different grains. Definitely sounds unique. Some issues I had with this store: 1. Pizzas were prepared already by the time I arrived, and just sitting on the counter. Seemingly no attempt to keep it warm, and as expected, it was already cooled down. Feels like there could be an improvement here. 2. Another thing that was quite noticeable was the consistency of the toppings: one pizza appeared to have a lot more toppings than the other. Raised this with the cashier, and apparently what you get really depends on who's preparing it. I guess I got the generous chef? Good pizza overall. At least, in the category of "healthier" pizza I suppose. read more

Pizza Maru - Half and half - Korean Bulgogi and Crazy Chicken Shrimp - Pizza Near Me - North York, Ontario

-[MARU FIVE] $29 This is a 13" pizza with five sections on it: -beef ribs -corn -bacon and potato chunks -pepperoni -spicy chicken breast The base of the pizza appears to be tomato, and is topped with cheese, and the aforementioned toppinga. The pizza is pretty large, and I will say the toppings make every small slice pretty filling. The reason I am taking a star off is becauss the potato chunks didn't seem to be cooked all the way through :( Definitely something to try! I wish their locations had more room because I'd love to try their food fresh - I got this delivered which was still yummy read more

I would have given it a 5/5 but I don't think it hit quite the same the next day. Wouldn't mind to try the other flavours if I am in the area again, with meat!! read more

Hyped up about the grand opening 50% off special in the weeks coming and anticipating huge lines but arriving 15mins early the line wasn't too bad. Maybe 10 people in front. I've never tried Korean pizza but I hear Pizzamaru is one of the best. For me it was too sweet. The thinner (not thin crust) crust was good and the dough to substance ratio was perfect. The green tea crust itself was nice and light but nothing special. The flavor reminded me of whole wheat dough. The pizza was topped with sweet bulgogi, cheese, yellow and green peppers, and onions. Another thing, I did see my order sitting on the counter done and ready for me for a good 5mins while all the servers and cashier was just standing around. They looked at the number receipt twice and still didn't bring it to me. Not sure what they were waiting for, maybe to have people wait so it looks like there's a line. But my pizza was warm.. ish by the time I ate it. I'd come back for the 50% off ($12) but not regular price. I do think when the restaurant is fully running with fried chicken and beer on tap, it'll be a decent place to hang out. read more

We came around 4:15pm this afternoon for a super late lunch take out. Only waited about 15-20 minutes. I am a seafood lover so I ordered the Seafood Bay 13' and added the golden edge where there is sweet potato mousse inside. The sweet ranch sauce was a little too sweet to my liking. The shrimp was a good size, the only thing is I didn't see potato as an ingredient on the menu for the Seafood Bay but I tasted quite a number of small chucks of potatoes. I asked about the dine in and it is not available yet. Cash only for now. Overall, different in terms of the toppings and edge for customers to choose from. read more

Pizza Maru's unique Korean-inspired takes on pizza incorporate lots of pineapple as well as other interesting ingredients, so we had to check it out. Be warned, if you're a pizza purist, don't go here. We dined in as a group of 3 and each 3 10" pizzas to share. The wait time was longer than your average pizza joint (40-60 minutes) and at the time of this review, the AC wasn't working so it was very stuffy inside. We got the: 1) holy honey sweet potato, 2) Korean bulgogi, and 3) AAA Smokey steak pizzas. The cheese they use for these pizzas was really tasty and springy. We found 1) to be lacking in flavour, the bulgogi in 2) to be a bit dry, and 3) was our favourite. There were plenty of steak chunks, and they were all tasty and succulent. I'd get 3) again for takeout. Definitely worth checking Pizza Maru out for the novelty. read more

Phone number doesn't work. Doesn't even connect. Only get msg they never setup voice mail. I asked them about it and they just said too many ppl r calling in. Maybe setup online ordering ? Its 2022. At the location it's baking inside. Way too hot. Feels like it's 28 inside. I feel for the staff. They were polite and their English was fine. No complaints with their service level. I wanted to try wings and pizza but they said no wings available. Maybe make that obvious with a sign? Ordered Saturday at 11:43 Its 12:04 and waiting. Just heard a customer give up knowing the next one will take 40 mins. Think working out new place logistics etc. they r not short staffed. 5 ppl working. Ended up with my order at 12:06. Kids enjoyed the pizza. It's much more filling if u get the add ons with the sweet potatoes. We would repeat the bites for sure. Would give more stars once they work out their logistics. read more

Visited this brand new restaurant on their grand opening on July 1. Lined up at 11:15am for a 11:30am opening just to bring you the full scoop on this brand new Korean pizza shop. They had a grand opening special, buy 10" sized pizza and get the 13" size instead. Solid. Waited about 17 minutes for my completed order of 4 pizza's and then I was on my way with four boxes of amazing Korean pizza! Brought the pizzas home and wow wow wow! So good. The smell, the flavour, and the many ingredients!! This is the place! I love pizza! I love Korean foods! Purchased four pizzas: Korean bulgogi, Garlic chicken, Signature Shrimbul, AAA Steaky Smoke. The best out of the four in my opinion was the AAA Steaky Smoke, then the Signature Shrimbul, Korean BBQ, then the Garlic Chicken. Would have liked the Signature Shrimbul to have the tails of the shrimp de-shelled, but some folks are ok eating the shrimps with the shell on. I understand the visual of the pizza and the whole shrimp would look better, but can be annoying chewing on shells. Big line up for this restaurant when I left, so ensure you give yourself ample time! Will definitely return. Yum! read more

Very tasty and satisfying! The wait wasn't too long for two pizzas on a weekday lunch. We ordered the Holy Honey Sweet Potato and Chicken Katsu. I loved the flavors of both. What drew me to the Holy Honey Sweet Potato was the corn and potato, a beautiful combo imo. However the pizza overall felt a little dry, like it could have benefited from more evenly distributed cheese or a good white sauce base. We ended up buying the garlic sauce on the side after we ate our first slices, and the garlic sauce is so bomb, very garlicky and delicious. If that was added to the HHSP, it would be perfect. The Chicken Katsu was a great balance to the HHSP, but sometimes the chicken chunks were difficult to eat because they are like huge chicken tenders laid on aesthetically. Perhaps they could be chopped up and still arranged in a cool way. This stood great on its own in terms of flavor and sauce. Would love to come back. I would literally buy the garlic sauce itself. read more

Such an interesting interpretation of a pizza. Quite a few unconventional toppings and preparations of pizza that are all interesting. The pizzas I have tried are all great, and the variety in the menu begs exploration. Really we have a difference in style here that some may not enjoy, but you cannot deny the quality of ingredients, and innovation. Love how much cheese they put on their pizzas! So Cheesy! read more

Is it good? Yes. This is better than about 70% of "authentic" pizza's. The price point is a different story. You'd need about 2 to yourself to get that "pizza fullness" which will run you about $50 give or take.... Luckily, Sundays if you pay cash you can save 50% on a 13 inch sized pizza Nonetheless, it's great pizza. 4/5 read more

I'm a pizza connoisseur, I've ate so many pizza, one time I had over 35 slices in a week. I truest recommend this place as the pizzas were fantastic. This place is unique and Korean style. There's so many flavours that even pizza pizza can't compete. One thing to note is that it takes time for the staff to get the pizza ready, so make sure to call ahead of time. I've tried the holy honey sweet potato pizza and it was so good. I'm still thinking about it! It's different than typical pizzas that I'm used to. It's sweet and there was so many fillings! Usually I feel not so satisfied with a vegetarian pizza but this pizza was so delicious. There was sweet potato purée as well as actual sweet potato chunks in it. Most importantly there were corn inside too! The crust was also thin and was a nice balance! My friend usually doesn't eat the crust and she also ate it all this time! Overall I think this is a nice pizza spot! The flavours are unique but the store is quite small so you might have to get the pizza to go. It is also a bit more expensive than typical pizza joints too. I'd definitely come back again to try the other flavours ! read more

Pizza Maru - Holy honey sweet potato - Pizza Near Me - North York, Ontario

First time having Korean style pizza. I think they're more notably known to have sweet flavours on their pizzas in terms of sauces (sweet ranch for example). For being the only one of its kind in Toronto, it is a pretty unique experience. I will advise to anyone who wants to go that it may take a while to get their order. I think I sat there for over an hour just to get my order. However, they were really nice about it and thanked us for our patience and offered us complimentary drinks. The interior is quite small and offers at most about 12 seats. The pizzas and wings are quite expensive in my opinion but as I mentioned its the only one of its kind in Toronto, so I guess you could argue that you are paying for the experience as well. I also got the spaghetti, which I do not recommend too highly. At most it tasted like jar sauce and nothing too special. It would be more wise spend your money on other items. Overall, I would say it's not bad. Would definitely come back once every 4-5 months if I'm ever craving Korean style pizza. read more

Sweet potato pizza? That's right, you saw that correctly. This Korean pizza joint is serving fusion style pizzas, including the Holy Honey Sweet Potato pizza that is lined with sweet potato and topped with corn, onion and cheese! The first bite just made me "?" but it got quite addicting after. My mom tried it and is HOOKED! I also tried the bulgogi pizza as well which was more similar to a traditional pizza. The Signature Shrimbul and Seafood Bay sound delicious too. It is a bit on the pricier side for pizza but you can find daily promotions on their site or through food apps often! read more

The place is pretty small but the pizza definitely isn't! A fair warning for those who order the cheese bomb pizza that it has enough dairy to rival a cow. Although tasty, it was too much for me and my friends to finish due to the heaviness of the cheese. The holy honey sweet potato pizza was definitely something unique though - I would've never expected corn and sweet potato on pizza to produce such a unique flavour but I was pleasantly surprised. Although the food was decent, it was nearly impossible to find any parking and the wait-time was really long (over an hour for two pizzas). If anyone is ordering from here, I would definitely recommend ordering it ahead of time or just have it delivered to save yourself all the hassle. Overall decent food, but long wait times and inconvenient accessibility. read more

Good spot for some unique pizza. We got the bulgogi pizza with the bite edge. Love the pizza filled bite size crust.

With over 650 stores worldwide, Pizza Maru is finally in Toronto. Known for their Korean style pizza and oven baked chicken, Pizza Maru uses a green tea dough as their base. In addition to pizza and chicken, they also offer topokki and spaghetti as well. With many flavours of pizza to pick from, we went with their signature shrimbul - which included shrimps, bulgogi, potato chucks, sweet ranch sauce and a variety of veggies. Their pizzas can be made in 3 sizes, the 10" had about 8 slices. The pizza was delicious, combination of sweet and spicy. We also upgraded to their gold edge for the crust, which was sweet potato mousse and cheese. To be honest, the sweet potato was fairly subtle, but the crust was crispy. The pizza was on the pricier side and they have very limited seating. Signature Shrimbul 10" w/ Gold Edge ($28.40) @PizzaMaru_Canada Price Range: $9.90 - $35 IG: #The_Yum_Report read more

Had very high hopes for this place as was advertised by blogto, but not only were both items flavourless, the unforgiveable thing was that they could so easily save their business with some salt.

This recently opened Korean fusion pizza has been trending, so we decided to give it a try today and got a takeout of the crazy chicken shrimp pizza. The pizza was great, but not really spicy. We even got the gold edge on the pizza which added more flavour, though it wasn't as thick crust as expected. Only reason I gave it a 4/5 is because there wasn't "crazy" amount of toppings for the crazy chicken shrimp pizza. I guess I expected more for the price. read more

Pros: Cheesy and tasty; got the steak, honey sweet potato, and crazy chicken. The crazy chicken was very spicy and would not recommend. Cons: -pricey, essentially $25 for a medium pizza, but with the only Korean pizza franchise in the area, that's why they have the power to charge higher prices (I guarantee there will be a flood of Korean pizza restaurants in the GTA, much like Korean fried chicken). -sold out of wings around 7 pm (couple of hours after opening). -we ordered on X-mas day so I know it was busy, but an hr wait is a bit excessive (we waited because that's what we came for and a couple of our friends weren't there hungry anyway) -the owner has a preposterous no outside drink and food policy for our situation. due the hour wait, we decided to grab some coffee and timbits to give a snack for the kids and contain the hunger for those were hungry. yet, they still insisted no outside foods and drinks. I get if they sell coffee and instant snacks themselves (ie competing products), but they don't and should simply appreciate that we just spent $90 and willing to wait for the food. read more

Had the bulgogi golden crust twice now and loveed it. The fusion of the sweet potato and cheese was such a nice combination and since it's somewhat a heavy duo, I passed out in bliss after two slices. It heats up very well if you're far like me or have leftovers, but I'd recommend eating it right away for the first time (like cmon it's pizza). Tried the different ones on a whim recently and it just wasn't as good. The Shrimbul one tasted a bit lackluster. The crust wasn't thick enough to hold the ingredients too well (ours was mostly potato spammed with paprika on top) and the crown edge was just alright compared to the gold edge. The seafood bay was much better in my opinion if you want shrimp on your pizza and it had a better balance of ingredients. I left it 4 stars cuz that bulgogi golden crust was too good and I would've gave it 5 stars alone if I didn't try the other ones. I think going basic with the gold edge would be a good start as a first timer. Super expensiveeee but if you find one you like, it's a nice treat once in awhile. There's four small tables if you want to dine in just fyi. Parking is a pain since it's located in a super small plaza shared with another restaurant so you'll either have to be lucky or come with someone else. We went for weekday lunch and luckily no long line-ups. read more
