The pizza here is good but very mediocre in my opinion. The pizza is thin and it is very neapolitan-esque, however, at the end of the day it is just pizza. We got a total of 5 pizzas and one prix fixe menu item that came with an appetizer, pasta, and dessert. Each pizza was decently sized (single serving) and came with many toppings. I would give a review for each pizza, but they all tasted pretty similar. I would recommend the prosciutto & arugula, spicy rossini, and pepp & hot honey pizza. However, I would not recommend the funghi pizza and macaroni and cheese. The funghi pizza was very disappointing and had a yellow cheese on top. At first we thought it was cheddar but after seeing the menu, I noticed it was "smoked mozzarella". Truthfully, the funghi pizza tasted like flatbread with truffle oil and cheese. The macaroni and cheese wasn't all so great after, but I would probably recommend sticking to their pizzas anyway. Something else I noticed is how each pizza came out with what seemed to parmesan on top, but the parmesan looked like it came from a frozen pizza. The cheese wasn't as melted as you would expect and was still in clumps. We drove from Richmond Hill to try out this place, and all I would have to say is to only try if you are in the area. I wouldn't recommend driving all the way down here for this restaurant. read more

The food here is just mediocre. I chose the prix fix menu that comes with an appetizer, a pizza (any pizza), and a dessert. I ordered the grilled calamari, Dominator pizza, and dessert. The calamari is mediocre, a little on the chewy side. The pizza was thin crust, which I get, but the crust was made so soft it basically turned into mush. The toppings kept falling off and the taste was just ok. I could probably make better at home. read more

I had a late lunch/early supper today at Queen Margherita Pizza. I love love love pizza and ordered a Calabrese pizza ... I swapped the Parmigiano cheese for fior di latte. It was a really good pizza. The crust was soft and chewy. There was lots of sauce and it was tasty. I was expecting the garlic to be in small chunks but it was in thin slivers, which worked well. I had gotten mild cacciatore and it was good ... I will try spicy next time. I'll be back! read more

I've always been to this place with a large group. It definitely lends itself well to it! It's got two levels. I prefer the downstairs space because it's cozier but the upstairs is surrounded by windows. Pizza is thin and crispy. I had the cinque stagione. It's a white sauce based pizza made with bell peppers, spicy zucchini, fior di latte, ricotta, ricotta salata, truffle oil and black pepper. I maybe a meatatarian but this was definitely tasty. I would definitely want to try something with meat but so far I'm pretty impressed. Customer service was very good for our large group. We had over 20 people and though they stumbled a wee bit they offered a free pizza to compensate. That was super nice. So can't argue that they own up to mishaps and try to make peeps happy. read more

Queen Margherita is a great pizza spot! We went on a weekend evening, and there was virtually no wait. The place is much bigger than it looks from the outside. Our party of six had the following: 1) 2x DIAVOLA ($19) - Fior di latte, sopressata, black olives, hot peppers 2) THE DOMINATOR ($20) Fennel sausage, rapini, smoked mozzarella, fried chilli oil 3) CALABRESE ($20) Calabrese sausage, garlic, black pepper, pamigiano 4) GIO OLDSCHOOL ($20) Fior di latte, cherry tomato, prosciutto di parma, arugula Note that our group unanimously decided that the diavola was the best! We also enjoyed the dominator and the oldschool as a close second, but all of them were great. Note we gravitated toward the red sauce (Rosso) pizzas. Overall, the pizzas are thin so you can definitely try many different kinds if you come with a big group! This spot is definitely a solid choice for pizza in Toronto! read more

Some of the beat pizzas I've ever had in Toronto! It all starts with skill and I was told that they have a real pizza chef in the kitchen from Naples Italy. So expect some authentic Italian flavours. The crust is perfect thin with just the right amount of chew and crispiness in the outside crust. The sauce is flavourful, well balanced, complimenting the pizza without overpowering the other ingredients. And the other ingredients are all nicely prepare and fresh. We had appetizers, arancini (rice balls) that reminded me of Italy, fried cheese ball and crostini with various toppings, all very flavourful and high quality. I could have just eaten just them for dinner. Very friendly serving staff who made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. The restaurant is big and open concept, sorta hipsterish. I wish there was one in my neighbourhood. read more

I popped in here for two take away pizzas over the long weekend, and they were both scrumptious. We went for a traditional Margherita add parm and their Diavolo, which had fior di latte, sopressata, black olives and hot peppers. This restaurant is much bigger than I had imagined. Two stories with two bars, lots of seating an their beautiful wood-fire stove on display in the lower level. Her Royal Highness appears to be good for a group, a date night or if you want to bring your kiddos. I shall return! read more

Great place for Neopolitan pizza. I tried the Margherita Pizza and it was thin crust, with fior di latte and basil that made it simple yet tasty. It wasn't overly oily or heavy like the pizza in most other pizza places. My favourite item on the menu was the Grilled Kale Salad - light but it packed a flavour punch with the whipped ricotta cheese and pine nuts. I look forward to trying the other items on their menu. read more

You'd think that since they specialize in pizza they'd have proper take out boxes instead of just wrapping it in foil...this was a year or two ago though so hopefully it's improved Pizza itself was okay but I wasn't blown away considering its $16-20 for a relatively flat personal pizza. read more

What I ordered: $30 Prix fixe menu including The Birdman, Eggplant Pizza, Pear and arugula pulled pork pizza, Italian sausage pizza Also comes with appetizers and dessert Pros: - Lots of areas to sit, this restaurant looks small on the outside but has a lower floor that's double the size. - Of the appetizers, I would recommend the mussels- there's a generous serving compared to the other apps and it was delicious too. - Of all the pizzas, I enjoyed the pulled pork pizza the most, great balance of sweet and savoury. - Dessert: I would recommend the Nutella mousse, the flavour was subtle and not too sweet. Cons: - not really a con but The Birdman pizza might not be for everybody, it is literally a kale salad on a pizza. I believe that if you're going to eat pizza, you've committed to it being unhealthy but this was a confusing combination of in between healthy and not read more

I ordered 2 medium pizzas, both was the worst pizza that I ever tried before. I don't want to try this anymore. I ordered it by Uber Eats and I payed $40(!!) for 2 mediums and horrible pizzas that are in my garbage right now. What it's not fair because pizza is my favourite dish. *Detailed review below:* - GOOD MARIANNA: Dough: the part that wasn't completely burned was ok. Topping: Salty! - ROCCO PIZZA: Dough: Completely undercooked in the middle. Topping: Just horrible. Salty, a lot of SALT. This one was by far the worst pizza I ever tried. read more

My boyfriend and I popped into this location on our way to a concert next door. We had disappointing appetizers elsewhere in the night, so we weren't super hungry. We decided to just grab a few drinks and appetizers. If your looking for cheap eats, this is not your place. A beer, a vodka cranberry and 2 appetizers came to $50 (with tax and tip). The food came pretty quickly and made up for the high price point in flavour. The meatballs came with 4 medium sized meatballs. The meatballs came with sauce but didn't need the sauce to taste good as they were full of flavour on their own. Perfectly cooked all the way through, not remotely dried out. The aranchini were slightly bigger than the meatballs and came 3 on a plate. The aranchini were perfectly cooked. A slight crisp on the outside but a warm and goey inside. The rice inside was perfectly cooked. The aranchini and meatballs paired very well together and we were very satisfied with our meal. read more

Have been to QMP a few times for lunch and another time for a work party. The pizzas here are made in Neopolitan style and I love how the crust ends up thin, crispy and chewy at the same time. My go to pizza is the Alla Campagnolo, which is their white pizza with mushrooms, Asiago, garlic and goat cheese. I am salivating just thinking about the meaty mushrooms and tangy cheese. Yum!!!! Their namesake pizza with fior de latte cheese is also delicious. In addition to pizza, they have pretty darned good chicken wings but boy were they spicy! Their arugula salad with shaved grano padano cheese and balsamic drizzle is tasty as well. QMP also offers a prix fixe option of your choice of pizza, appetizer, and dessert for $29. However their pizzas are quite big and I usually end up eating half for lunch and taking away the other half for enjoyment later. They have a pretty big seating area that covers both the main floor as well as a more spacious lower level. (40/100) read more

I didn't think I would give Queen Margherita 4 stars when I first walked in for dinner but they actually surprised me. There were only a few tables full and no server around to sit us at a table. I had to stop a waitress to get a table and she was clearly new to serving in general. She couldn't pour beers from the tap without a glass full of foam and her understanding of the menu was adequate but limited. She did suggest doing a he prix fixe menu which included an appetizer, pizza, and dessert for $32. It's a decent deal if you're getting a $20 pie. The appetizers we chose were arancini risotto balls (3 to an order) which came on a bit of tomato sauce and two salads. The portions of the salads weren't large in any sense of the word but well seasoned. The kale salad has actual charred bits so one of the guests at our table did not enjoy it at all. There's also a vegetarian bianco pizza that has the same charred kale so diners beware. Our server got better and the restaurant filled up decently so the warmth and ambiance improved. We were able to do 3 prix fixe orders for 4 adults and 2 kids but the pizzas aren't that big. They are about 10 inch pies cut into 4 quarters. Add a few beers and a coke and the bill came to $130 before tip. read more

This is the latest outpost for this chain of pizza restaurant. Arguably not the greatest location as I personally find this neighborhood to be less desirable late at night. However there seems to be some moment in terms of new restaurants here so one never know this might end up like Ossington. Anyway one to main the spot this place has lot of seating and doesn't seem to have much traction so might be a suitable spot if one seeks space for a larger crowd on the weekend. We both opted for the Prix Fix. Salad was caprese and for pizza I went for the mushroom. They allow substitution which might be good for some folks. My DC even got them to put tomato sauce on a white pizza! Salad was good though I think it needed a little more salt as the olive oil made it to mellow. Pizza was decent like the other location. As for dessert they really faltered here. The chocolate tart was horrible. It had a very grainy texture. I did sample the nutella mousse and that was awful as well. My recommendation is if you can dessert somewhere else by all means don't go for the priz fix. 3.5 stars all said and done. read more

The meal was great. We had the Gio Oldschool and Roberto Scallopini pizzas. The Gio was a tomato based pizza and crust and toppings were perfect. Our favorite of the two was the Roberto...AKA The Birdman pizza. Crust was perfectly crunchy but yet light and airy. The garlic aioli and crunchy kale and sunflower seeds complimented each other perfectly, with a little sun dried tomato to add some tangy sweetness. It was delicious. The wine was great and the service equally as great. Overall a perfect place to eat. read more

Delicious but a little pricey. 30$ for an appetizer, pizza and dessert or approximately 18-20$ for a pizza. I have visited QMP a few times on Dundas St. W. and in the Beaches and I have enjoyed the food consistently. I recommend the zucchini fritters (Frito Misti) and "mozzarella pulled in house" for appetizers. The fritters were light and crispy and very nice. The mozzarella was chewy and delicious and came with bread, crackers and chutney. For pizza, I liked the Cinque Stagione (Bell peppers, Spicy Zucchini, Fior di Latte, Garlic, Ricotta Salata, Truffle Oil, Black Pepper) and the Alla Campagnolo (Mushrooms, Asiago, Garlic, Goat Cheese, Oregano). The Cinque Stagione is quite mild-flavoured, letting the veggies be the stars but I wished that the zucchini had been actually spicy. The Alla Campagnolo is much bolder from the garlic and the mushrooms and I really enjoyed it. I really like the chewy floppy crust that gets crisp in some spots. I cannot remember the desserts as standing out, so I will pay closer attention on my next visit to QMP! read more

Location: On Dundas West. Street parking is available but check the zoning, as there are meters. We had no problem parking on a Sunday evening around 5pm. The place: When you walk in, you get the impression that the place is very small because there are just a few tables. However, their main dining area is downstairs and fairly spacious. Decor is minimal and urban, lots of wood, and offers a cozy vibe. The best part is that the kitchen is open and you can see the huge wood burning oven and all the pizzas that come in and out of there. Yum! The goods: I went with the prix fixe menu that included an appetizer, main and dessert. For starters, I had the fritti misto - strands of zucchini (fried) and fat, battered shrimp. I think the aïoli that was served with it was lemon. I have to tell you that it was a damn good appetizer. The only downside is that it was a little greasy. My main was the Gio (pizza) - I swapped the prosciutto for mild Cacciatore. The dough was SO good. I mean, I could smell it and knew I would love it before I even took a bite. It's flat so not super filling unless you eat the whole thing (I couldn't). My toppings included fior di latte, the sausage and cherry tomatoes + the sauce. The sauce was delicious and not at all bitter or acidic. It was the perfect combo of salty and (slightly) sweet. I really enjoyed the pizza, as did the group of people I was dining with. All of that said, I do feel like there could have been a little more sausage and a few more cherry tomatoes. I didn't have the dessert because we had birthday cake. Side note - I ordered an Old Fashioned that completely sucked. I didn't say anything but at $14 a glass, I should have made them take that off the bill. Service: I think our waiter was alone to serve the entire restaurant because I honestly don't remember seeing anyone else. So, in light of this, I have to say that the service was good. Sure there were some delays but nothing really worth complaining about. The restaurant was packed so what could he do? Price point: I can't say I was thrilled to get a bill for close to $60 for pizza. The crappy drink was definitely overpriced at $14, and I didn't expect the restaurant to automatically add the gratuity. I understand that it was a large party so it's not the automatic addition of the tip that annoyed but rather, the NINE extra dollars they added to my bill. I mean come on man! It's not that I think the waiter didn't do a good job - but the fact is that for a party of our size, there should have been at LEAST two waiters serving our tables and if that wasn't possible then get the manager in there to lend a hand. This is a solid place for pizza and worth checking out - just avoid the cocktails. read more

Had the opportunity to try Queen Margherita Pizza last night. I've passed by this location many times before not knowing they have a large lower dining area. There is also an open kitchen with a large wood oven burning in the middle where the pizzas are cooked. The pizzas are true neopolitan style, and come with a variety of toppings. We had the calabrese pizza and the white pulled pork one. Both were delicious with generous toppings and the most delicious, sweet dough. I ate all of my crust (which is rare for me). We will definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

5 stars for the pizza and the excellent service. The interior is not very large but was very cozy on a cold winter night. Our server greeted us and was kindly explaining the menu to us since it was our first time here. The server was very cute ! We had our pizza within 25-30 minutes. But it was worth the wait ! I think I would come back on a less busier night next time. The food and ambiance of the restaurant was really great. Really glad I tried this place. read more

Came by cause we were craving pizza for dinner and it was a pretty decent place! It was a quiet night there so the service was friendly and quick - no frills.

It's the perfect place to go for a birthday or a lunch with a larger party (just please make a reservation first, as an unspoken rule of common courtesy). I'm not a huge fan of Neapolitan style pizza as I usually find it too soggy to accommodate even just the weight of itself but I adored the food here. Got a classic Margherita pizza, as to just test the waters, and it was delicious. We all ended up getting a pizza and sharing (the Diavola, Prosciutto and Argula, and Funghi) and they seemed more well done at the bottom which I personally appreciated although not technically traditional for that type of pizza. For apps we got the Tri Colore salad that danced with flavour and the Arancini and bruschetta. My only complaint amount the three was that the bread for the bruschetta was a tad bit soft and didn't hold very well. Beyond that, the food absolutely amazing. The staff was polite, not super quick past getting us our drinks but that seemed intentional as we were chatting away and they eyed us as they walked by a few times and we were in no hurry to order. It felt organic and like they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our food experience. A place I would definitely recommend! read more

I came here on Friday night with 3 friends and we walked in the door around 8:30pm. I was surprised to see it relatively empty but that might have been because it was later than most people start dinner. The server was so friendly and offered to help us chose our pizzas based on his favourites. We were dining in couples so two people chose the $30 prix fixe menu which comprised of an appetizer, a pizza and a dessert while the others just ordered their pizzas. We ended up sharing all of the appetizers and desserts because...well...it's just more strategic that way! At our table, we ordered: The Caprese (Appetizer) The Arancini (Appetizer) Diavola Margherita The Dominator Calabrese The caprese salad was simple and rustic; red and yellow tomatoes drizzled with a high quality olive oil and basil. Made for a beautiful picture! The pizzas were wonderful and made in Neopolitan style (thin crust that is crispy on the outside and chewy inside with lovely burnt bits). The pizzas with meat were nicely covered and a bit crispy from the wood oven. The red sauce was bursting with flavour; rustic and fresh enough to make you feel like you were having a pizza that stood out from other places in Toronto. ONE WORD OF CAUTION: When something says spicy on the menu, they mean it!! We all have a fairly good tolerance for heat but the hot cacciatore sausage on the Calabrese pizza was actually HOT! The Diavola, although still hot, was a lot more manageable to eat. We asked for hot chili oil to drizzle on our pizzas but didn't use a lick of it due to the heat from the meats. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and casual...we didn't feel rushed at all. In fact, we stayed at the table after paying our bill for a good half hour talking. It was only after we realized that the restaurant was closed (around 10:30pm) and that they were sweeping and cleaning up that we felt badly for not leaving earlier! They never forced us out or asked us to leave...they were more than happy to allow us to sit and talk. Overall a GREAT experience and we'd be back for sure! read more

I have been here number of times and the quality of food and service was great each time. The unique quality of this place is the authenticity of the pizza they produce. Having been to Naples, I believe that this place is the closest competitor of Neapolitan style pizza that you will find anywhere in Toronto. Their pizzas are soft as a cloud, be gentle before you crush the delicate crust with your dull and coarse fingers. Slight charring over the pale crust gently reflects the metaphor of your current life versus your hopes and aspirations. Sauce is light and perfectly sweet; the charred bitter crust perfectly balances out the sweetness. The overall quality of food is great. Although price can be a little high, its fair in comparison to the food that you will be receiving. This is the place you want to go if you are looking for an authentic Neapolitan pizza. read more

Came here for a work Christmas dinner and I will definitely be coming back. There is a prix fix menu$30 for appy, any pizza and dessert. The kale salad was HUGE and delicious, other appy options included mussels, calamari, and various salads...from what I can remember. The pizza was thin crust with a slightly charred crust and soooooo good. I got the Rocco and the Gorgonzola cheese on it paired so well with the sausage and onions. Highly recommend giving this a try! For dessert I shared the ricotta cheese cake and Nutella mousse. They were both good, the cheesecake was very rich while the mouse was so light and airy. We had a lovely dinner, wonderful service, and will definitely be back!! read more

Poor quality of food. Best way to describe the pizza is tomato soup poured onto cardboard. Capers salad was fresh and delicious. Had to ask for bread which I'm surprised they don't offer it on the table. Very disappointed in the pizza. Was expecting authentic Italian pizza as they claim to have. Not the case at al. Very rubbery dough and very soggy pizza. read more

Full disclosure: I've only ever eaten Queen Margherita Pizza (henceforth known as "QMP") via delivery. But 95%+ of the pizzas I eat are delivery/to-go pies (I am too ashamed at the speed and ferocity with which I eat pizza to do so in public), so I believe I have a well-calibrated standard for comparison. At first glance, QMP's pizza looks like it could compete with the likes of Libretto and Maker, my current favorites. The crust is nice and bubbled and charred, and the toppings are the type that would qualify as "premium" add-ons at Domino's -- that is, if Domino's even offers them at all. But something is clearly missing. The dough is bland, dry, and lacking in character. (Yes, I am anthropomorphizing my dough.) The sauce doesn't have any zing. And the toppings, at least on the pizzas I've tried, either don't mesh well or don't bring any life to the plate (there I go again, talking about my pizza like it's a person). After 3 or 4 tries, I just gave up. P.S.: I don't mean to slag on Domino's here -- I actually much prefer it to QMP and most other pizza places in the city. You really can't beat their pepperoni: sliced perfectly thin so it's crispy on the edges, and salty, oily, fatty and meaty in the middle. read more

I came here with my birthday with a large group. I thought the staff would've been really happy to see us because we were all ordering prix fixe meals, drinking, and were very polite and undemanding, but our waiter kept acting like we were doing him a disservice by being there. Tasty pizza, but please don't make your patrons feel like they're problems. read more

I received a couple of vouchers from Queen Margherita in October for #PizzaMonth. I have been following their social media for awhile but never had the opportunity to visit until last month. Queen Margherita has three locations in Toronto, including one in Leslieville and another in Baby Point. I opted to visit their Dundas West location because it was most convenient for me. The first thing that struck out to me was the space of the restaurant. It has two floors. Above ground there are a decent number of seats, which you can see from the outside. But when you go to the lower level, it's massive. They have an open concept kitchen, which I thought was really cool because you could see the stone oven and their chefs working away. The restaurant has that urban posh feel, which I really liked. Their menu consist of prix fixe appetizers and a variety of pizzas. My voucher only allowed for one margherita pizza so I didn't try anything else because it was already filling (I ended up taking half of it home). The pizza was good, though it wasn't something I was wowed by. I prefer to have a lot more toppings on my pizza but if you like the classic margherita pizza, you would definitely enjoy this signature dish. Queen Margherita's Dundas West location makes for a great date or a place to host a birthday party due to size and a menu with a variety of pizzas to choose from. read more

Oh yum! That's what you will say when you bite into your pizza here. We were actually in the vicinity to try out a bar called Montauk but were too early and hungry. Walked in to the restaurant and were told that it would be an hour or so since it was a walk-in but luckily there was a cancellation and we got a table :) We ordered two pizzas, the Dominator and Calabrese. The Dominator won hands down, the Calabrese was good too but not as good as the Dominator. The drinks however... not so good. Will definitely go back for the pizza sometime but maybe go somewhere else for drinks. read more

This is the newest outpost of Queen Margherita Pizza. When I found out that this bad boy had opened and that no one had reviewed it on Yelp! yet (opening up my window to be the first to a venue) I knew I had to go immediately. I kid, I kid. I went because Queen Margherita Pizza has it all figured out; doing great Italian food without all those pastas that literally no one enjoys. As we walked into meet our group a tab bit late (Mike's 1st rule of group dinners: Never show up first, be rude.) we were greeted by thunderous music and two friendly hostesses that I can only describe as "Spicy Meat-a-balls".I was a bit worried a bit at this point in that I find loud music can leave a last memory on a good meal. Luckily as we walked down to our table, which was on the lower level, the music became far more muted. So crisis averted on that one guys! We sat down and immediately got to work...ignoring the menu and discussing the days hot gossip. Once we were done talking shit about friends and loved ones we began to look at the menu. The menu, though on the smaller side, is deceptive. There's a lot of different ways to play it. In the end I split 2 appetizers and a wheel with my lady while the other 4 split 3 pies and 3 apps while going the Prix Fixe which also comes with desserts (as you all know, I've never really had a sweet tooth). After just the right amount of time 4 of the 5 apps came. Two Fritto Misto, a Romaine Salad with Speck, and the special for the night Beet Pure with Feta. I can only vouch for what I had but the Fritto Misto was great, light battered with just the right hit of lemon and a simple, garlicky, marinara sauce. The beat salad was also great though I found the feta to be the real highlight. Now, here was the one glaring issue of the evening. As I said we had ordered 5 appetizers but only 1 had come (GUH!), after asking our waitress not once, not twice, but thrice the boccaccini finally came. It's arrival wasn't really helped by the fact that this dish was 10+ dollars and consisted of 8 tiny boccaccini balls, and this is for boccaccini standards. Onto the good stuff, i have no idea what everyone else had but we got THE DOMINATOR!!! (Can't remember if it was spelt in all caps with so many exclamations but it had to have been, right?). Well baby let me tell you this pizza was dominated...by me! The fennel sausage was fatty, and moist and crispy from the wood fire oven. The rapini was all rapini-i-eeeeee and the smoked mozzarella was nothing to shake a stick at. And the crust! My god the crust! For a thin crust pizza this thing has a crust that was so robust! Dessert I don't really remember which I guess is all you really need to know about that. The only other real issue that we had was how quickly the bill added up. Though I didn't see the physical bill itself I feel like this was attributed to alcohol costs specifically the bottles of wine that were suggest by our waitress. So just a word to the wise, be sure to ask pricing on that. read more
