Has been around forever and it shows in a good way! The place has a very home feel to it, with the wood paneling bar, with matching chairs and tables. Makes it a great place to hang out. Pizza was fantastic! Perfect base of the crust if you're looking for a thicker dough not that flat crap like most new spots. The fresh tomato sauce, loaded with toppings and topped with even more cheese. Comes out fresh and hot. the price is high but worth it for what you get! 10/10 coming back for sure. Thank you Pizza Pinos! read more

Ugh I wish I could give a better review but I cannot. The first time I came here about 8 years ago the food was memorable. I came back this time around and it just wasn't the same. The best part about this place is the very friendly, warm service. Amazing people. My biggest critique is the pizza and the veggie in particular. The pizza is watery and this is likely because they put raw veggies on the pizza before it goes in the oven. An easy fix is to quickly sauté the veggie first before baking on the pizza. There was also no flavour. Just very disappointing. Kids enjoyed the cheese but in my view overall it's too pricey for what you get. read more

I've discovered many different styles of pizza over the years. While the majority have been just okay, Pizza Pino's Montreal Style pizza stands out among my favourites. They have a great crust, with delicious toppings smothered in a generous amount of cheese. They have lots of options to build your own, or choose one of their Signature Pizzas My friend and I took advantage of a recent Buy One Get One Free special and enjoyed two great pizzas! The Garlic Special Garlic base with grilled chicken, tomatoes, and onions. (no tomato sauce) The Meat Lovers' Pepperoni, bacon, ham, spicy Italian sausage, and ground beef. Other offerings include Panzerotti, Wings, Meatballs, Pasta, Salads, and more! They also serve beer, other adult beverages, and even Kawartha Dairy ice cream. read more

If you happen to be in Ajax it's a must to go to and grab some good old pizza and wings vnit just your average pizza but one of the best pizza in Ontario. It's has the perfect crust not too doughy and not too thick, very tasty pizza sauce not on the sour side perfect made. If the cheese was stretchy it could been the best ever. Wings are amazing juicy and tender not dry I recommend the jalopneno dipp for I'm kinda surprised it tastes like BBQ but it's still very good. Look for Jay and he will take good care of you, will definitely come back and try their other menus. read more

Pizza Pino - Cheese Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Okay, I get why this is the local "go to spot" for pizza. It was amazing. It's like a deep dish pizza, but not that deep. I normally only eat two slices and here, that's the equivalent of one slice. It's freshly made by the most friendly people and oh man did I enjoy that pizza. Because it's fresh, expect to wait a bit if you're ordering on the spot. Otherwise, many people seem to call in early so it's ready when they arrive. There's a good number of seats to dine in, but take out seems popular. We ordered the chicken wings and our batch was really dry. It's like the chicken may have been sitting out for too long or fried too long. but it wasn't something we'd order again. BUT, the honey garlic sauce that was drizzed over it was amazing. I used it to dip my crusts and now I think I've changed my whole pizza game plan. Remember to save room for the dessert. Cinnamon sugar covered dough bites. I think they'd benefit from a side of homemade caramel sauce just because one order is a lot of dried dough to eat, but it was YUM!!!! I'm really glad we saved room for that. It's like the guilty pleasure after a guilty meal haha! read more

Ever since quarantine and covid-19 struck, I basically went from finding new delicious eats every week to maybe one every two months now. However, the other night my boyfriend's mom brought home some pizza and my boyfriend told me this is the "double layer one" he's always raving about. I didn't think any thing of it ... UNTIL I TOOK A BITE AND THIS PIZZA CHANGED MY LIFE. It was a deluxe pizza and there was a thick layer of topping and the crust was also done well (albeit I don't eat crust). Long story short, this pizza is delicious! Best of all, it's comparable in price to most pizza chains such as your Domino's, Pizza Pizza, Pizza Nova, and Regino's. The only catch is, for those of us in Markham/Scarborough - it's all the way in Ajax. However, this pizza is worth driving out east. Trust me. I still dream about this pizza till this day. read more

A true hidden-gem! Located within 10-15 minutes drive from Ajax Waterfront, I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are in the area and craving pizza but want something less "typical" (aka your neighborhood pizza chains). Slightly tucked away, Pizza Pino looks somewhat like a convenience store from the outside. Although not currently opened for dine-in due to COVID, the restaurant itself has a nice, historic/ retro vibe. We ordered the Pino Special which came with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, onions. Not my usual go-to pizza toppings but boy was I pleasantly surprised. Everything just tasted so well together! To top it off, as someone who isn't a huge fan of crusts, I found myself finishing their pizza crust without even realizing! Their crust was perfectly crispy, not too heavy on the dough, and just all around delicious. Our medium pizza (8 slices) lasted a total of two meals. We were pretty full after our first four slices so we decided to save the remaining for the next day. Honestly, it was as good as new heated up. Absolutely no complaints with this quality pizza place! read more

Best pizzas in town!!! I get takeout with jalapenos, pineapple, red pepper and garlic and they're just amazing. So flavourful!

I have been to this restaurant since I was a child and it has yet to fail me. My favourite thing to order is the pink special which is a staple here in Ajax. The ingredients are fresh and the portions sizes will be beyond your expectations and you will be satisfied. If you are able to eat meat the. I would recommend their wings as well !!! read more

Delicious pizza, the ingredients are fresh and overall amazing taste. Very friendly family owned business.

My son expressed a strong opinion that Pino's is at least as good as Auntie's Recipe. I have just ordered their Spivak Pizza, a Garlic Cheese Pizza, and some Pino sticks (these are pizza dough with garlic, and then cooked in the pizza oven. The very friendly and helpful staff who answered the phone told me that, in his opinion, they are superior to the garlic bread. As I said after first trying Pizza Pino, it is very similar to Auntie's Recipe, but the crust is a bit thinner and the toppings not quite so lavish. However, I still have to give them 5 stars ... not only for their great service, but also, the texture and flavour of their crust is exquisite. The Pino Sticks were amazing, reminding me of the wonderful garlic pan bread that Jack Astor's serves. My husband and kids preferred Pino's for sure, saying that it was less heavy and ponderous, but oh, so much more than the standard pizza chain fare. I think that I am still a die-hard fan of Auntie's. Pizza Pino is like Auntie's Light, straddling the gap between Auntie's and the mainstream, Pizza chain offerings. My family gave it two thumbs up and said that it was worth the drive to South Ajax. At this difficult time, I hope that you all support small, local restaurants. If you haven't, then Pizza Pino would be a great place to start. read more

Family owned and run. Fantastic service. Amazing food. Dine in available and it's a homely ambiance. This pizza is a MUST have!

When we're moving to Ajax, one of the spot we wanted to try was this place... Yesterday we ordered take-out and got the 3 topping large pizza with 1lb of wings for $28 after taxes... Our topping was spicy italian sausage, eggplant, and green peppers with garlic base sauce. Chicken wings with honey garlic... From price point, their pizza was definitely a bit more pricey than normal so I'd score that a 6.5/10 From pizza: We got it as thin crust and felt it had a nice airy chew to it.. The toppings were under the cheese and its a nice blend...I'd score this 7.5/10 From wings: Nice to have sauce separate from Wings. Wings nice and crispy and decent size...Honey garlic sauce is nice as well...I'd score this 7.5/10. Overall score is 7/10... read more

After much anticipation, we finally had a chance to sample what other Yelpers voted as "the best pizza in Durham region." As much as I value fellow Yelper's opinions, I was still skeptical coming from some disagreeable experiences from previous Yelp recommendations. We drove into this very nondescript plaza on a lazy Saturday afternoon looking for lunch. We were greeted and seated promptly by a very efficient young server who was also our pizza maker. Since it was our first time, we decided to stick to something "safe" like a medium size pizza (Pino Special, I think) and a Caesar salad to share between the two of us. What first came out was a huge mound of over-dressed romaine in store bought dressing with a very generous amount of house-made croutons and enough bacon bits (the real thing) to clog a grown man's artery! To be fair, I have to mention that we were given an option of receiving our salad tossed or with the dressing on the side. And since we opted for the salad to be tossed in the kitchen, we can't really complain about the dressing overload part. But let me just say that my husband is a real bacon lover and even he proceeded to push extra bacon bits he couldn't consume to the side of his plate which by the end of our belly-busting meal, created a small tower. The salad was so huge that by the time our pizza arrived, we were already pretty full. And then the behemoth of a pizza was placed on our table.....and we just looked at each other and burst into laughter at the thickness of this thing. We had read numerous reviews about pizza pino's pizza being thick crust but seriously....this was like having two regular pizzas (like what you'll get from pizza pizza) stacked on top of each other. Again, not necessarily a bad thing for those wanting a hefty meal but for us, it was supposed to be lunch. Our pizza was LOADED with pepperoni slices, mushrooms, even more bacon bits, I think there were some green peppers and soooooooooo much cheese. I can't even begin to describe what this thing looked like. (please refer to the photos) I had ONE slice and could not dare grab another one. My stout hubby had impressive TWO slices. The shock of the thickness aside, the pizza was tasty. How could it not be with that much goodness??? It's just a shame that we were so full from our salad. We packed up the rest (more than half of the medium pizza) for dinner. We ended up eating the leftovers over 2 meals! Now, the million dollar question is, would I return to Pizza Pino. I think I might....that is if I could recruit enough heavy eaters to justify ordering a pizza that big (or that thick). read more

Good pizza, good quality and quantity. I like this neighbourhood pizza, better than big chain stores.

I wanted to try something different. These pizzas are that. I got a meat lovers pizza. The meat is everywhere in the sauce and between a thick layer of cheese. This pizza is not for a slight hunger but a full on I am Starving type of hunger. May be when normal operations are allowed I might suggest going over for a sit down inside. Good selection of beers to cap off some great pizza. read more

I was very impressed with the food here. The pizzas are fantastic, and much bigger than their name suggests. Although I only ordered a "small" I still took a couple of slices home. Prices are fair for a restaurant, a little higher than typically found at a chain delivery store, but in my opinion are worth it. The crust is a good balance between being not too thin, nor too thick or stodgy. The sauce and cheese is plenty, and toppings aren't stingily laid. Staff were friendly, not too intrusive, but aware enough of when drinks needed topping up, and to bring take home boxes. I was also grateful that they put a rush on my autistic son's order, as he has a very hard time in restaurants waiting for his food to come out once ordered. The rest of our table's order took a bit of while, but was worth the wait. This was my first visit, but I will certainly be back. read more

Only because my husband likes their pizza. I only like their cinnamon pastry dessert. And we support locally owned businesses.

This is by far my favorite pizza place in Durham. It's consistent and the staff is exceptional. The owner is a very nice man who takes cleanliness very seriously (even before Covid!). I try to come here at least once every other month and have never been disappointed! Panzerottis are also great. read more

We picked up our regular and favourite pizza tonight. The guy on the phone knew (great software) what we ordered last time and it was ready right on time. This pizza is pretty thick and very filling. Ingredients are top notch and I've never been disappointed. It's simply the best I've had and tonight was a reminder. So happy they were busy during this lockdown. If this business closed, I'd be truly sad! Support your local business!! read more

One word: WOW! And not just "wow", we're talking "WOW!" I wish I could just leave it at that but that probably won't do. Pizza Pino is a treasure that my friends and I came across while visiting another friend in Ajax. They serve pizza, pasta, salad, yummy fried goodness, all the good stuff. You can add a variety of toppings but they have set prices for set toppings, such as the meat lovers, or veggie pizza. Their pizza is similar to Chicago pizza for those who've tried, but thinner crust. The thing I love about this place is how fresh their toppings are; the chicken chunks are huge and tender, unlike other franchise pizza joints that have meats as hard as wood. And for the cheese lovers, you don't even have to worry about getting extra cheese because the amount of cheese you get on your pizza is ridiculously thick. Pino definitely does not cheap out on their toppings. We ordered a large that on their website claimed to feed 3-4 people, but even with four hungry stomachs there were at least a quarter left of the pizza by the end of our feast. I'd say a large easily feeds 4-5! I ordered a medium on my own, and that alone was more than enough for my family of four for dinner! It's pricey though, and that large pizza came up to $40, the medium $20. Granted, we customized our own pizza so it went by a different price. There was also a 45 minute wait on delivery, where it usually takes half the time (or so I'm told) so be prepared to wait for your food! Or call in ahead of time. But I definitely recommend this place to anyone who is a pizza lover. 10/10 would come again! read more

I'm not really a fan. We ordered delivery one evening and the total was about $42 for two pizzas. We live down the street and was told our pizzas would be delivered in 20 mins. We waited 20 mins... then 30 mins... then an hour... We eventually called them to find out where our pizzas were. Turns out the delivery guy hasn't even left the shop yet. We cancelled our order then and there and ordered sushi for dinner instead. What a waste of time. read more

Disclaimer - I came here for dinner on Labour Day, so this review is based on a restaurant that was very likely understaffed. This place was close to the waterfront park so my boyfriend and I thought it would be a good idea to try out the thick crust that has gotten great reviews. Here's my take: Service (1/5): 1 of the 2 main reasons why I wouldn't come back. I knew we had to wait "longer" than usual, but good service would have warned us that we'd have to wait around 1 hour for food... We waited 50 minutes for pizza, 55 minutes for poutine. Sure our waitress was kind, and we were thanked for our patience, but it was too late at that point. We just wanted to get something in our stomach and leave. Large Pino Special + Poutine (1.5/5): The 2nd reason why I wouldn't come back. You can read every other review about how cheesy and full of ingredients the pizza was. How the crust was great and overall for a mom and pop shop they did make good pizza... but that won't make up for the food poisoning my boyfriend and I paid for after the fact. We both thought it was something else, but after I brought home left overs for my family they also had to use the bathroom to get rid of what they ate. I figure it was because Pino's was understaffed and with an influx of orders they rushed and did not cook the pizza well enough. The Poutine was pretty standard, nothing much to say there. Cost (3/5): $20 for a large pizza and $7 for poutine + tip. Not bad. It's not a chain, the servings were large and hearty, so I think it was fairly priced. Ambiance (3/5): It's a mom and pop shop! Don't expect anything fancy. However it's family friendly and clean. Can't really ask for more than that. Overall, besides some kind of food poisoning and horrendous wait time, the pizza wasn't that special. it was a nice change from chains like pizza pizza and pizza hut, but not special enough to come back for a second round. Sorry Pino's. read more

More a 4.5 This is an overall score. We ordered in, did an xlarge pizza not knowing what we were getting ourselves into lol. Also 2 lbs of bbq wings. So the wings I wasnt a fan of. The bbq sauce was tasty but the wings were pretty dry as though they were cooked a few minutes too long. So thats where tge extra stars come off. The pizza on the other hand. Out of this world, best I've ever had hands down. The crust is perfectly cooked almost as though they have a wood oven. The toppings they do not skimp at all. We almost got extra cheese since most places you have to. Thank god we didnt because it was beautifully dressed. Red onions on the bottom, pepperoni, real bacon and the cheese . So much cheese I was in heaven. One slice is like 3 slices from other pizza joints. So filling and mouth watering. I am from missisauga but let me twll you I am so willing to travel for my new found love. Dont second guess just get it!!! *licks lips* read more

A unique pizza experience! I love dining in retro places, particularly the retro places which are kept clean and this is one of those. You would walk in and first thing you would notice is that they have classical 70-80s songs playing, you walk a little further and see that all the walls in this place are occupied by photos of historical Ajax. Since I have literally moved to Ajax 2 days ago, i got to learn a lot about Ajax's history through this! cool. We ordered a deal of 1 medium pizza and 10 wings, added 3 extra toppings to the pizza and the bill just came up to $30, very reasonable! Now the pizza they have is very different than your normal day to day pizza, they do thick crusts, but unlike other pizza joints, they aren't stingy with their toppings and cheese. SOOO MUCH CHEESSE! and its high quality too. The grilled chicken on the pizza had flavour as well. The wings were cooked good and the blue cheese with it went perfectly, but the hot flavour is just frank sauce all over it. Would definitely be coming back here. Note: It does take a little while for them to make the pizza. read more

The most flavorful thick crust pizza in the Toronto area by far!!!! I usually like thin crust authentic pizzas. Lombardi's in New York is my all time favorite but this place has reshaped my thoughts on thick crust. Each slice is heavily topped and has the perfect amount of flavor and although the amount of toppings are ridiculous, the crust holds up great. I can't stress enough how tasty these things are. Amazing! If ever in the Ajax area you MUST pick up a pizza here. Take it home and re-heat it, its still amazing even 2 days after. A must try! read more

Ordered from here for the first time after reading the reviews and I must say they hold up well. Some people complained about time service, but I don't have a single complaint I ordered my pizza and within 1hr it was delivered. Which brings me to another service I'm happy with, I live in Whitby and very surprised they deliver this far and especially with the 1hr ordering and at my door and time frame. As far as the food goes. I loved the pizza and the pino sticks were not bad nothing super special. I find the pino sticks had too much garlic on the top. Now the pizza was amazing, it wasn't as thick as other pictures posted but maybe that is because I got the garlic based pizza. I had pizza once at chucky cheese and liked how it had a garlic base so when I seen these guys offered it I had to try it out. Definitely awesome and adds more flavor to the pizza while not being over powering the toppings. I just had a 2 cheese and pepporoni and I could still them both. So A+ on the pizza!!! Now it was $30 for a medium pizza and sticks so not too bad and well worth the extra little cost. I will definitely order from them again. I like trying all these one off pizza places they always seem to be better then the big name stores. I'd definitely recommend this place. I give it 4.5/5 but the application will not let me so 5 it is. Just due to the pino stick. read more
