    Beef supreme pizza
    Mahsa N.

    This place is so good!! You just give it a try and surely you won't regret it. Granted, I am biased because I hadn't had Persian pizza in a really long while and what better to have on a cold winter evening than Persian pizza?! We ordered it for delivery and went with the grilled chicken pizza and the supreme beef pizza. I would recommend to do a mix of beef and chicken. We got small of each and I found that to be super filling for two individuals. The pizza was rich but not oily. It had good quantities of both meat and vegetable fillings. Also, I would highly recommend trying the pizza with ketchup or barbecue sauce. Both complement it very well specially because it's a heavy pizza but not as saucy as a Chicago deep dish!

    Half Chicken Lovers (4/5), half Beef Supreme (2.5/5) medium pizza

    Persian pizza in a nutshell: almost like a deep dish pizza but packed with ingredients like Persian deli meats! Optional to drizzle it with ketchup and sour cream sauce. I got a medium pizza with half being Chicken Lovers (4/5) and the other as Beef Supreme (2.5/5). My favourite was the Chicken Lovers because it was more flavourful with the corn and olives. The Beef Supreme I found to be lackluster. Overall I loved the crust on the pizza, almost like a deep dish style where it's all buttery and soft with a crisp exterior. I also appreciated that there was no dough crust on the top borders of the pizza so there's a LOT more ingredients to dough ratio haha! The pizza sizes are smaller than what you normally get at big-name pizza places and I'm on the fence about the meat toppings actually being a deli meat though..

    PIZZA PULL ALERT This downtown pizza joint was ranked by @blogto as the BEST HALAL pizza in Toronto @pizzashab.downtown I am now into the world of HALAL food and its been AMAZING! @pizzashab.downtown is known for their THICK, CHEESEY PIZZA that made it SUPER GOOEY and DELISH! I tried the MEAT SUPREME PIZZA and THE Rolling Pizza (which was the first time for me). I'm used to the thin pizza but this was DIFFERENT....I loved the thicker, fluffy dough that was FILLED with cheese to make it super stretchy. There are 4 @pizza.shab locations but I went to the one downtown near Yonge and Dundas. 113 Bond St @pizzashab.downtown SAVE & SHARE #foodieonthelooose For more great food content check out https://www.instagram.com/foodieonthelooose/ and http://linktr.ee/foodieonthelooose

    Small beef pizza
    Wai L.

    I went to Pizza Shab because I got a Groupon coupon for a small pizza. The restaurant is located downtown near Ryerson University. The counter person was very friendly. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. I got my beef pizza. It was deep crust pizza. It was okay. The problem was that it was bland and lacked seasonings. Would I go back? Maybe as their pizzas looked very nice. But they need more flavor.

    One of the worse pizza recently I had ..this picture is mushroom pizza ..no mushroom I had for more than 30 dollars. This is a real picture not on the site..and other things is bad customer service...sure never come back.

    Shab is a Persian/Irani style pizza which is a bit different from the traditional pizza you'd get at other pizza places. And it is very much loved by Iranians. The dough is generally a bit on the thicker side and you will notice a strong oregano and smoked deli in the non-veggie pizzas (a variation of mortadella and cocktail sausage) flavor. I believe they have another branch uptown so I think this place is their second branch targeting the high Iranian student population at Ryerson :) It may not be very easy to find the place...it's tucked in the back on the lower floor of a small building. Got the large smokey beef pizza. It was pretty good. The prices are high for the sizes. The personal pan starts at $12 and large is around $25. The large pizza is definitely smaller than a normal large pizza you'd get at Panago or Pizza Pizza for example. Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Overall: 3.75/5

    The pizza was really good. The toppings mix was great as well as the flavour. Loved the crust especially and so much cheese. The beef lovers had some hot dog looking meat on top that was quite odd but other than that i definitely liked the beef lovers alot more. Customer service was steller as well. The man at the front was really nice and accomadating( l used a groupon). He also made sure to check on us and asked if we needed anything and how it was mid meal. The place wasnt busy on a friday evening at all. But they do get quite alot of delievery orders through skip the dishes, uber, and pandora.

    Came here with a few friends and grabbed some different 'zas to share. It was my first time having Persian pizza and I am definitely a fan. I love how thick the ingredients and cheese are. How the crust is buttery. The rolled pizza, man, I thought the sauce drizzled all over it was awesome. Definitely not something to eat every day though, I could feel my arteries clogging.

    Supreme mix

    Ordered supreme mix 10". Shared with a friend. It was surprisingly tasty and light, not greasy nor heavy. Highly recommended.

    Never would I think that Canada has pizza that rivals New York but was proven wrong when visiting…read morethis spot. The line was short during a late lunch on a weekday, and if we had planned better, we would have ordered ahead because you can skip the line. The service was a bit slow; we were thinking they could make so much more money if they just had a New Yorker taking orders, but it was worth the wait for some piping hot, crispy crust. We got a few slices; mushroom blanco (we tasted some truffle oil), a vodka one (all pizza should be made with this sauce instead), a marg and a pepperoni. All the spots were taken outside so we walked 2 minutes to a park and crushed our pieces there and saw a number of others so the same. We brought our empty pizza box back to patio outside the restaurant where they have a designated container for them.

    Would come here more often and would've given 5 stars if it wasn't for the long wait time outdoors…read more Parking is also hard to find nearby. We waited for 45 mins on a Friday evening, and ended up getting a parking ticket that was issued 10 mins before we were leaving. But I guess their set up does live up to the "neighborhood pizza" vibe. Their pizza is the best though and I'm not much of a pizza girl. My favourite is the burrata marinara because I find it so unique. The burrata is creamy and go so well against the crispness of the pizza. The vodka slice had the most insane cheese pull and I love that it doesn't have a strong tomato/sour taste. Next time we'll probably order ahead and just get a box!

    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"!!!!)
