So I asked a local to recommend a good, non-chain pizzeria, and they immediately said "Tuscan Wolf!" And who am I to doubt an expert? The vibe inside is very bright and open on the ground floor. The second floor has larger tables, and a bit more dark and refined. But the downstairs shouts "Family!", and there were a couple there while eating. It's lonely eating solo sometimes, but on the other hand, you can usually get a bar seat when the place is packed, which is what I did. Service was quick and cheerful. They have an extensive menu of Italian dishes, but I wanted pizza, so I ordered their red sauce choice called "Parmigiana". (When do I never want pizza? That's a good question!) The pizza came in good time, and was the perfect size for someone like me. Two normal people could also probably share it. I shed a little teat when it came, because it was uncut, with a steak knife and fork for me to do the honors. Not a tear from the pizza, but from good memories of Mangia E Bevi, whete they served pizza the same way...sob. The pizza came with lots of parmesan cheese added either after or late in the baking process, so it wasn't gross and burnt. Also thin sliced eggplant, with that goopy yet chewy texture I like in my eggplant on pizzas. The sauce was savory with a hint of tomato sweetness, and the crust was chewy and a bit darkly blistered but not burnt. Wonderful! A great pizza place, and they do have a huge menu of things besides pizza. I overheard one trio say they drove three hours to get there, and they said it was worth it. And I would definitely agree. read more

Huge menu. More choices than you can imagine. Not a fancy place but easy parking, really friendly staff and pizzas were all cooked perfectly. Also shared a large salad that was fresh and tasty. For individual pizzas these are quite big. Crusts were thin and perfectly cooked. read more

Tuscan Wolf Pizzeria - Two perfectly cooked and large pizzas. You need to be very hungry to finish one on your own - Pizza Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

I've been here several times and wanted to write a review for a while now. I had actually written a comment that their service needed some speed in the past but I'd like to add so much more to that. This Pizzeria is very good in what it does which is host and serve some incredibly tasty Pizza. The owner and Chef went to Tuscany to learn at their Pizza school, and graciously came back to Durham region to share his talents by curating an extensive menu of 100+ choices. As previously mentioned I had said their service was slow but the service when I went last was quick, attentive and very friendly and knowledgeable. The pizza does take some time from ordering to table but that is because it's made and crafted by hand and it shows. Utterly delicious, generous size and fresh ingredients make the entire morsel such bliss from a full to empty plate. I have been back several times with friends and family and I will be back again. read more

We got (delivery) - Covaccino Fungh This is a thin crusted calzone, no sauce. Simply flavored with olive oil with mushrooms & of course, cheese. Simple delicacy. Loved this. - Rio Elba White pizza with pesto, cheese, walnuts and chunks of real parmesan. Liked the extra crunch from the walnuts. - Mephisto Pizza My favorite of tonight. Tomato sauce, mozzarella, calabrese salami, gorgonzola, and red onions. Gorgonzola is often used in cream/ white sauce but this pizza proved it is great with tomato sauce. The sliced red onion flavor and texture and the spicy salami were great match with the tangy Gorgonzola & tomato sauce. The crust is thin and chewy with full of wheat flavor. Happy! Thank you :) read more

Tuscan Wolf Pizzeria - Slice of heaven! - Pizza Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

The pizza and service was good. We really enjoyed the ambiance upstairs, it was nice and pleasant. I love spicy and I ordered the spiciest pizza on the menu, and it was delicious (the chicken was a little dry, would have liked if the pieces were a little bit smaller to really soak in the flavour) they also didn't have dipping sauce which I love when I'm eating pizza. Overall it was good, I would definitely return to try one of the other 99 pizzas on the menu read more

Tuscan Wolf Pizzeria - El diablo pizza (spiciest pizza on the menu) - Pizza Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

Stopped by here for lunch and was impressed by the venue - it's cozy and homey and the service was friendly and made you feel right at home. We had a bit of trouble with the menu at first since there are hundreds of options, but thanks to some good recommendations we found our way around it. We tried 3 pizzas, and they were all solid but I can't say I was blown away. The sauce was on the sweeter side for my taste but it was really the dough that stood out to me, which was so light and airy and made the crust a pleasantly crunchy bite. If I came back here, I would try to stick to the classic margarita. read more

Tuscan Wolf Pizzeria - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

By far the best Pizza in Whitby area. I've tried others which are closer to frozen grocery store pizza. Only Restaurant with great cheese and sauce. read more

Pizza crust was like an old leather shoe left in the sun, dry, tasteless and uncut. Barely any sauce or cheese. But the real slap in the face is when you leave a review. Rhe owner needs to learn the customer is always right. His response was horribly arrogant on my trustpilot review. He suggested I could have had it remade rather than complain. Kinda hard to do with takeout and I would never eat anything from here again. I also have a business and I would never speak to a customer like this. Other reviews state he cannot handle criticism as well. No kidding lol. read more

Excellent food and service but don't like the dull steak knife to cut my own pizza. 2 people at our table had mobility issues and this was a huge problem read more

This is the best pizzeria in Durham region! It is not your fast food (takeout or delivery) type of place because these pizzas need to be enjoyed fresh from the oven. Service is really good not only because the front of the house is friendly and attentive but also because the owner- chef comes out to talk to the customers to make sure everything is good. The atmosphere has a nice modern pizzeria feel to it with touches of Italian decor. The thin crust pizza are fantastic with many options in the menu (too many!) and they still allow you to add or remove toppings as you see fit. The crust is crispy which is different but offers a good foundation to keep the pizza from collapsing. I love a chewy Neapolitan pizza but the crust doesn't hold up so this Tuscan style crust makes leftovers so much better. And you will have leftovers because the pizzas are so large. Other than pizzas they have some pasta dishes but if you are a large group start with one of the cheese plates. For the price you get a huge selection of cheeses and some great cured meats, amazing value. Overall you pay a premium versus other pizza joints but this is not fast food pizza - this is pizza made with love. read more

The actual pizza is amazing, but it's now absolutely impossible to call ahead for pick up or get delivery. I really hope they figure this out soon! It was such a great place to order from,5-star and it's so sad to not be able to do that anymore. UPDATE: Apparently they were just on a brief holiday! I always had this as a 5-star because the food is so amazing even though I was sad I couldn't order online. But I'm overjoyed that I can again. read more

Tried it another time and got the desiderio and the capricciosa pizzas. The pizzas tasted okay, a bit greasy but the lowered star for this visit is due to the rock hard crust. Not sure if it's an off day but crust was not bitable at all for either pizzas. Very disappointed. read more

So I don't go to Whitby very often but I needed to go for a meeting and the person who I was meeting I knew liked Italian. I started off with the Italian salad which was rather large and probably could be a meal in itself. Strike probably in the last sentence. Pizza I had the Impero Pizza which was Mozzarella cheese, truffle paste, white truffle oil, prosciutto cotto, ricotta, mascarpone, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Oh my God it was delicious. I did ask the waitress which pizza I should have if I've never been there before and likely may never be there again and this is the one she suggested. She also suggested a tomato-based pizza but I decided to go for this white one. Although I didn't have it the person I was with had a Covaccino and absolutely loved it. It was lunch so there wasn't a big crowd but the location was convenient, the restaurant was nice, and the server was really good too. read more

Wow this is the best pizza I ever had. Definitely a great place for some good Italian food. My favorite is their truffle pizza. Still gotta come back to try the other pizza choices! :) read more

First time here, I've found a place where you can sit and enjoy a pizza in a fine dining environment. The baker is Italian and has brought Italy back to Canada. There's so many choices (over 30) of pizza besides other selections. You're given the full Italian experience with the pizza brought out whole. As they do in Italy, you use your knife & fork to cut your piece, but a pizza cutter is also provided just in case. We ordered his prize winning Desiderio pizza with mozzarella, mascarpone, truffle paste, Italian sausage & mushroom for one and the Genoa (all cheese) with basil pesto, mozzarella, gorgonzola, provolone, mascarpone & parmesan. read more

Felt like I was back in Italy! Fantastic food, incredible flavours. Tried three different pizzas, all were delicious! Wonderful, attentive service!! Great night out with the family. Will be back. read more

Amazing pizza!!!! We thought being a "specialty" pizza joint that the pizzas were going to be small, individual size for the price - nope! they were large pizzas good to share with two or three people (depending on how hungry you are). And their salads are fantastic as well. One note - if you're getting it for take-out, as them to make the salad at the end just as you come for pickup and put the dressing on the side (otherwise it will get a little soggy by the time you get home) Can't wait to go back! read more

I am so glad I came here a few months back, the pizza was delicious, and being Italian my family loved the specialty pops that they offer which we hadn't seen in years. Really authentic food and atmosphere as the kitchen is partly open to the dining room. The salads are delicious as well and I've only heard great things about the pasta dishes. MUST try the crepes, they are delicious! I recommend sharing if you can't quite eat a whole one after your meal but definitely try one of their many! I've since been about 4 more times and the food never disappoints. The 4 stars here is just because the staff is occasionally slow (it is a busy place during peak times) and although most are very friendly, some wait staff can give off an attitude. The owner always comes out and asks how everyone's meals are, very friendly and cares about his guests! No doubt my favourite pizza place in Durham read more

Tuscan Wolf Pizzeria - Caesar Salad - Pizza Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

Wow, Tuscan Wolf serves up some great pizza! They have a dazzling selection of pizzas and toppings, and some original pizza styles. They are located in the charming Old Whitby Village neighborhood, with ample street parking in front, on side streets and there are even parking lots very close by. We ordered four pizzas, bruschetta, a pane cotta, and tiramisu. The pizzas all featured dazzling, thin crust, with toppings that were in amazing balance with the crust, for an overall eating experience. Now, I'm not normally a thin-crust person, preferring thick, sicilian-style crusts. However, these were so elegant and perfect! My son's Pizza Margherita was so good that he devoured it quickly. My daughter was pleased that her Pizza Torontina (Tomato, cheese and pepperoni) did not skimp on the pepperoni. My Tuscan Wolf Pizza - yes, I went with the eponymous, signature pizza because it was our first time, so why not. It was really interesting, sort of like a combination of a calzone and a pizza. Mild interior of flavorful, ricotta-like cheese, encased in a double crust of that thin, light dough. We also got an Olimpe, a chef's creation which, in our case, was half calzone and half gorgonzola pizza. The bruschetta was exactly on point, and properly packaged for take-out (tomato/garlic topping packaged separately, to be applied at home). The desserts look wonderful, but we are all too full to eat them! Well, tiramisu for breakfast ... life could be worse, for sure! I will certainly return, next time I feel like splurging. The Tuscan Wolf is not cheap eats, but worth saving up for: a classic case of getting the quality that you pay for. I've never been to Italy, but have researched the pizza styles quite extensively. Next time, I will ask for a "bold bake", as I am one of those people who thinks that a bit of charring on the crust adds a crispy smokiness. I may be an outlier! However, I think that the Tuscan Wolf is right on the mark! read more

Chris C. My partner and I were very disappointed with their treatment of couples. They did not allow reservations for tables less than 4 people. We were told that we would have to wait up to 30 minutes for a table to become available even though there were 3 empty tables which seated 4 people. A group of 3 came in, no reservation and were given a place at a table for 4 without hesitation. We were told that a table was available upstairs but we could only have it for one hour as it was reserved. While waiting at the bar, we were not asked if we would like to have a drink. As a senior couple, we felt very disrespected. We would not recommend this restaurent to any family or friends. We felt like second class citizens and our night was ruined. read more

Authentic Italian pizzas in Whitby, I'm so glad I found this gem! Marco came to Canada 5 years ago from Tuscany and imports Italian ingredients to offer the same Italian pizza experience in Durham; what a treat! We were offered the most amazing hospitality from Marco and his wait staff. The menu was thoroughly explained and we were even given a tour of the restaurant. The menu is massive, but you really can't go wrong with any choice. My boyfriend and I shared the Modena pizza with mushrooms and prosciutto. Delicious! We loved it here. This definitely tops the chats for Whitby restaurants. read more

After hearing all the hype for months we gave it a try and got two pizzas, the Vegetariana and the Torontina. For a thin crust pizza it was remarkably stable, I appreciated that you could pick up the slice and not lose the toppings. Other than that attribute nothing was impressive, the Torontina was extremely greasy, yes pizza is meant to be greasy but this was like puddles and puddles of it on the pizzas surface. I would've appreciated a description in the menu of what grilled veggies were on the Vegetariana also, it appears to be sweet peppers and eggplant. It also lacked that delicious wood fired taste I was expecting. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, certainly struggling to see why anyone thinks it's the best pizza in Durham. read more

I'm so happy my friend and I decided to go to Tuscan Wolf instead of staying and ordering Gino's on a Saturday night. This restaurant is in the perfect location, has great open hours compared to other restaurants in the area, and makes great food! The owner Marco is authentically Italian like his pizzas. You're going to find so many different pizza varieties it'll be hard to pick, but no worries there is no bad choice. I had the Margherita, and it was delicious. The pizzas are huge, but all pizzas are personal pizzas if you put your mind to it. read more

Honestly one of the best pizzerias, if not the best in Durham! It's very affordable and worth the price, the staff are very friendly and very informative and helpful. The pizza is a good size and it's the closest thing to authentic Italian pizza in Durham, the owner is very friendly and knows his stuff no doubt. Final verdict I think this establishment needs more awareness and y'all have to come here and try some pizza !!!! read more

This will be one of my new favourite lunch meeting restaurants in Durham. The service is fast and friendly. The pizzas are delicious. Are they just like Italy pizzas? Close but not as good. Are they still very good? Absolutely! The pizzas are very thin crust. Cooked perfectly. I had the Italian Sausage, Cheese and Red Onion. It was fantastic. I really enjoyed it. It is a huge portion. I originally thought I'd only eat half and take home the rest. But by the end, there was none left. Definitely will come back again. Will bring others. read more

Just came home with a box full of pizzas! So amazing! We started with a Tuscan cheese and meat board - 14 - so good - it had focaccia (homemade) with fig jam and honey! So good! Then we had 1 calzone with Gorgonzola, ricotta, and mozzarella and a prosciutto and mushroom pizza and an olimpo which is a combination calzone and pizza! They were so good with a light crisp crust. They looked so good we couldn't wait to eat them which we should have because they were scorching hot! But so delicious and the price was so good between 14-16 per. We finished with a chocolate pana cotta which was so creamy and delicious! Marco makes them fresh everyday. If you want one better be there early or call ahead because when there gone there gone. While we were there a lady came in to pick up 2 tiramisus - they good quick too! Can't wait to go back. They are closed on Tuesdays but open everyday otherwise! Give them a try if you like authentic Tuscan pizza! read more

After hearing good things about this place from my neighbourhood Facebook page, I had to give this place a try. Based on reviews, this place has authentic Italian pizza. I love pizza. So finding out a new pizzeria had opened up made my mouth water. I always like to support local businesses and hope they do well. This place was good, but not what i expected. Decor 5/5 This place is nicely situated in downtown Whitby, I like the overall look of the place and the outdoor tables are a nice touch. They also have a big second level, great for parties or larger groups. Service 2/5 The girl who served us was great. She explained the menu and options available but didn't discuss beverage options e.g beer and wines ( I later overheard another owner/server explaining to another couple about Italian beers, Italian wines and a really in-depth explanation of the menu. Would have been nice to hear that. Also we had to wait 30mins for our food, the wait was too long, the table next to us who came after us got their food before us..not cool. Food 3/5 We ordered the calzone/pizza combo and the Paulino pizza which had arugula, chicken, feta cheese, peppers. I found it a bit salty, and the pizza was lacking the tomato sauce flavour, maybe that is authentic Italian I don't know. But I was a bit disappointed. The cheese was great. I will give this place a try again as I do want it to succeed and try something else read more

Did you know pizza certification exists? Neither did I. Marco, the owner, has several. He proudly displays them on the wall all over his beautiful new restaurant. My daughter and I decided to check this place out because of the perfect rating. We were almost disappointed. When we arrived Marco was outside closing up the restaurant. He invited us in and told us to dine in even though it was past his business hours. He took the time to explain all the authentic dishes. We had a Greek salad and two pasta dishes. Please see the photo of the Greek salad. The platting was fantastic! I can't wait to return to enjoy some dessert and expresso. we had a tour of the upstairs and it's amazing. What a great space for a baby or bridal shower. Please check out this new business. The owner takes so much pride in his craft. You won't be disappointed. read more

The food at Tuscan Wolf is exceptional. Every single pizza we ordered, was delicious. The Caesar Salad was fresh and clearly every bit of it was homemade. If I am reviewing based on food alone, I would have given 6/5 stars, it is that good The service is very lacking. Table was half set, servers on multiple occasions left dirty plates and empty bottles/cans on table and ignored our request to remove them. When we asked about a pizza cutter (which they are phasing out we were told because they want to be more authentic - which I am cool with), our request was heard and ignored. Every single one of our neighbours was given a pizza cutter except us. They gave us 2 side plates for 5 people and half cutlery....don't think that is authentic Italian serving. No oils or chilli flakes provided to our table, but others got them. Every time we asked for something, it felt as if we were inconveniencing them by being there. It wasn't a case of a bad server as we had multiple people helping. This is the second such experience at Tuscan Wolf and we gave it a second try for redemption. Unfortunate as this place has serious potential. read more

Just came back from a trip to Italy and we were craving some real pizza again! This place did it for us!! We had the Sweet Reaper pizza as well as the Hawaiian. (Both were amazing!)

Can't wait & thanks again Marco! read more

BRING YOUR OWN PIZZA CUTTER OR BETTER YET SLICE THE PIZZA First time here and a bit disappointed . 1. All pizzas - they don't slice them. But they supply you with a crappy plastic pizza slicer. REALLY? It was sliding and making the pizza almost slip off the plate and landing in our laps while trying to slice them. 2. Order 4 pizzas and three requested additional ingredients. One was incorrect and the owner replied to us - they did not handle changes well. The request was for jalapeño pepper and received green peppers. 3. We ordered two bottles of wine and the corks were NOT removed at the table. How do we know that we were getting the right bottle ?? Or if it was full?? 4. Crust on all the pizzas were bland. Pizzas were just ok...nothing special Update - Feb 2020 - after reviewing the response from the owner. Downgraded from a two 5. Very noisy and cramped seating. Felt like sardines screaming at each other. It you want a nice dinner. Don't both with this place. 6. Trimasui was thickly covered in cinnamon. D Will we return. Probably not. Update Feb 2020 - after reviewIng the owners extremely rude response downgraded from two stars to one star. To future customers - this is how rude this owner will treat you if you give any type of feedback. Sad. Plus, Sir, I am Italian and a girl who you insulted with your feedback. This owner needs to brush up on his manners and treating his clients with respect. Don't bother with this clown. read more

Amazing authentic pizza! Tastes like heaven! It's not Domino's so if that's the extent of your experience with Pizza open your mind and buckle in for a flavor ride.

Now that's some good pizza....a little price ey buy I guess you get what you pay for.

The Tuscan Wolf is Marco, a recent immigrant from Italy who brings his authentic Italian flavor to Canada. Here, you can enjoy real pizza unlike of the domestic delivery joints. This is a real treat - and not too pricey. They recently received a liquor license and now serve wine and beer. Great stuff! Bravo Marco! read more
