5 Notable Toronto Pizza Spots

It’s not just for late-night, post-bar walks home anymore. Toronto’s obsession with gourmet pies continues to bolster thanks to some of our top restos making the case for pizza as a gourmet dish. Thin crusts, superb toppings, intricate flavour combinations all come together in haute entrees that satisfy the most discerning palettes. High-end cuisine has never been as comforting. 

Mercatto
Thin and crispy, soft and delightful, Mercatto has been a go-to for gourmet pies ever since its first Toronto location opened. Rife with fantastic toppings (like speck, arugula, gorgonzola), Mercatto’s thin-crust pizzas leave little to be desired – it’s all there for you when you order.

Terroni
The Terroni brand of restaurants have become a staple on the Toronto scene. With two locations (one on Adelaide and one on Queen West), Terroni has been able to appeal to both the Bay Street crowd and creative types. Their pizza crusts are buttery and crispy, and their toppings are of the highest quality.

Paese
New King West resto Paese has been serving up gourmet pies to the young professional crowd who frequent this popular hotspot. Try the Fungi, with roasted mushrooms, thyme, fontina and the ubiquitous truffle.

Queen Margherita Pizza
This traditional sit-down restaurant serves up some of the best pizza ever tasted by young professionals in Toronto. The crust is blistered in a scorching oven, making for a delightfully crisp companion to perfect toppings.

Pizza Libretto
Canada’s only pizzeria to be certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, Pizza Libretto knows how to make the perfect pie. Known for breaking tradition with its toppings, Pizza Libretto is one Toronto restaurant that must be tried.
