Trying to support local so we ordered the home cooked meal - hubby enjoyed that. we also ordered the 3 piece chicken meal with a side which was fries. once the grease dripped off the chicken, the 2 legs were mediocre however, when I opened the thigh, alot of blood came out telling me that it was not cooked. I can't speak to the side of fries because they didn't accompany our order. For $38 we will stick to Popeye's or Swiss Chalet.

This was Dino’s pizza, but has changed names and I assume ownership. The pizza just isn’t as good as it was before, the dough is definitely different (no longer sourdough). We ordered twice just to make sure it wasn’t a one off issue. It just misses compared to previous!! Sorry new owners!!!

Good lord that was great! I ordered the st louis half rack of ribs with fries and coleslaw for pickup (there were no napkins, but ketchup packets in bag), and it was delicious. The coleslaw was creamy (a lil bit too creamy), The fries are fresh, and so is the oil in which they were fried in, which I can tell, and appreciate. The perfectly cooked ribs were smokey, seasoned, and tender. The people there were friendly, and when asked what else is good, first mentioned was the famous cup and char pepperoni made with sourdough, then they replied everything. There are 3 four-tops inside to eat there if you wish. I have to come back. It's that good.

Dino's made my personal top three in a recent pizza contest with some friends. We ordered a bunch of pizzas in the area and ranked each one. Lots of fun and great tasting pizza!

Great cup and char. Got a deal via Ubereats so thought I'd try. At $20+ regular price for a 14" pie it's a bit more than cheaper chains but I'd say worth it on occasion. Driver had to wait a bit on a delayed order, perhaps they were busy. They should tape the boxes or put a sticker for delivery orders which is standard since covid but not a huge deal. Ordered thin and it was delicious!

Ordered pizza delivery from Dino’s this evening. We have a family member with allergies to tomatoes so the white sauce and pesto options were very welcome. Wow! Really good pizza. The wild mushroom Gorgonzola was fantastic and the chicken pesto pizza had amazing depth of flavour. Very impressed and will definitely be ordering from them again.

September 5, 2022

When this pizza restaurant first opened, I was really impressed with their pizzas and truly enjoyed it. But… as time went on, with every new order, it just kept getting worse… today was the ultimate worse! My favorite was the wild mushroom gorgonzola however today, and the last time, it had such a sour taste to it!! The last time it happened, I thought ok maybe it was a one time thing but after today, it definitely was not a one time thing! So sour and nasty! And let’s not forget the complete lack of cheese on all 3 pizzas I ordered… and I mean zilch next to none! Again, back to my first couple of orders, the pizzas were oozing with cheese!! Oh… and I will just ignore the 1 out of 3 pizzas ordered today was a wrong order… but ok, I can take that as human error. However, what I can’t take is how their quality of food has had such a decline in such a short period of time of being opened… this restaurant is just another place for extremely high paying pizzas that went above and beyond when they first opened that the cost was completely justifiable to now being less than basic that cheap out on the ingredients and of course probably weeks old spoiled sauce…. I would think keeping this consistent is what would make a restaurant successful, not giving up so early in the game that you start to lose business…

Carbonara is not a pasta dish. If it has peas, its a casserole.

Pizza was all burnt, when we asked for new one, they were so rude and treat us like we have never ate pizza. They refused to refund money too and not gave another one. Worst customer service

Dinos has been our one-stop go to for takeout, both pre and post COVID. Were able to have everyone in the family have their own choice from the variety of different options on the menu, without having to make several stops at different restaurants to satisfy everyones needs. Vegetarian options: There are veggie pasta and pizza mains and about 5 different salads. Parking: Usually always a spot in front of Dinos available for take out pick-up

I loved the pizza from Dino s!! Very fresh and the flavours are so good - the hot and honey pizza is my favourite!!

June 22, 2024

I am sharing this with all fellow public. So do not go through experience. I did. Plse check all food before leaving or a delivery items. This location does not take any ownership for mistakes. They ignore you abd if respond pretend do not know anything. Wish i took screenshots of converstion. If a company cannot take ownership of a mistake done by them does not deserve my business. I also will post on better place. Thankyou

I m sorry but I have to share this. We went to get pizza , salad and chicken wing but we are very disappointed of their food. The chcicken wings taste so bad! It seems like meat has been out for long time and been re-cooking it many times .we really lose our appetite .

Dinos has the best pizza in the east end from what Ive tried. Blue River is close and its debatable, but the sloppy New York style of Dinos gives them the edge. Go thin crust all the way. Its nice and crispy with the cheese just dripping off. The hot n honey char pepp is unreal with their chicken pizzas being scrumptious as well. Its a must try spot.

Honestly, look I love pizza like any normal person. I do 30km walks everyday and decided to get a pizza, from this place. The pizza is fantastic. Its very, very very good. Its a small shop, located in a very nice east york neighborhood of Toronto and out of all the garbage, trash and replicated pizza places...this is the #1 pizza shop. Take it from myself with the utmost consideration to pizza business being competitive and hard at times, this place is your pizza place. Where can you get woodfired sour dough? Really...ask yourself. You cant. This place, YOU CAN and that is incredible in on itself. Period! Enjoy. Vegetarian options: Fresh ingredients!!! Dietary restrictions: You can ask for dietary restrictions, no problem. Kid-friendliness: Pizzq places are always nice to kids. Its good business silly.

ordered 2 pizzas on uber eats, with a 40 percent off coupon, pizza, tax, tip, delivery, was $47 The 20% off coupon on the website using their ordering site does not work uber eats has a hilarious buy one get one free deal where you are only saving a couple dollars by buying 2 identical pizzas. On to the pizzas, we had the hot cup pepperoni and the pear, prosciutto, and gorgonzola pizzas the pepperoni was extremely stingy on the pep and was undercooked the second pizza had these huge slabs of prosciutto which were very unappetizing. The rest of the pizza worked well, and it was well cooked. The crust was good, although i couldnt taste any sourdough flavours. Good chew. I wouldnt order from them again

I ve ordered from this place weekly on Uber eats for the last few months. We all loved this place, but last week on my moms birthday we placed an order and it was accepted by the resturant, and then our driver cancelled. Then our second driver told us when he arrived the restaurant was closed. No call from the restaurant to let us know this, no update from Uber, the driver had to inform us. It would have been appreciated if they cancelled our order before they went home for the day. Spent 2 hours waiting for our pizza on her birthday.

On a recommend from Robs Good Food we tried Dinos pizzas. Two 14 pizzas; one Mushroom and one Chicken Pesto and a large village salad. Both pizzas were great! Flavourful, thin crust, not burnt. The artichoke hearts on the chicken and the truffel oil on the mushroom were highlights. The salad was good and enough for four servings. I think they used the gas ovens, as the wood one seemed idle. Quick and courteous service. Parking: Curbside parking out front, or there are residential streets behind.

2nd review/ Since the first month they obvious fired the pizzaiolo, the food has gone downhill in a quick way, Id now avoid, also toppings were not fresh nor high quality////First off, this is certainly one of the most authentic pies on the cusp of Scarborough. Never thought Id get Italian served in a hole in the wall of an East York plaza. We ordered 4 pizzas, all different using fresh toppings. Other than the lack of a website, and a greater menu that will arriving soon I couldnt find anything to complain about. Why 4 stars? Because theres never a 5. Ask DP

I cant give you them a 1 star because when it was good. It was some of the best pizza around but consistency is not their strong suit. Even when you ask for well done theres a chance your pizza shows up under done. Dinos was our favourite pizza spot but after so many bad pizzas, its not worth the gamble.

When I eat pizzas at well-known chains it feels like I am eating a loaf of bread with tomato sauce and whatever they put in their pizzas. Just one slice and I cannot eat the rest of the pizza. However, Dinos pizza was thinner and it just tasted more delicious. Not only that, but I could eat a whole pizza with no issue (I had even spaghetti with chicken alfredo before eating that pizza). I was not even hungry! This is not the same outcome from other pizzas I have tried so I think Dinos are just that great.

Tasty pizza! The pesto and red sauce options are both yum. The original crust is thin by default but the topping/dough ratio is perfect and keeps its integrity. Garlic dip is better than most places. They only loose stars because my pick-up order was incomplete. The spicy cured meat pizza was missing the arugula and balsamic drizzle. We also only received 1/3 dips we ordered. I didnt realize this until I already was home. Good food - but they need to pay more attention to the order.

Thank you!

I really enjoy the food, I order it usually twice a week, was telling everyone how good it was. My last 2 online orders I have made there, they have forgot to make. First time I show up, he had no idea about my online order. Asks me to come back in 20 minutes, so I did. Ok, people make mistakes it happens. Tonight I order on their web site again, I show up with my daughter, he says will be a few minutes. 20 minutes passes, I ask how much longer, he then says, oh Im sorry I forgot to make it, ill start it now. Me and my daughter are the only 2 in the place, how do you forget to make the order for the only 2 people who have been standing there 20 min. I wont be giving them a third chance to forget to make my order.

Ordered from here a few weeks ago and unfortunately the pizza was completely burnt and we werent able to try. I was disappointed but Uber offered me a full refund AND the restaurant was nice enough to offer us a promotion in order to try their pizza again. Ordered tonight and the pizza is absolutely amazing! Im glad I gave them a second try and I will be ordering my pizza from them more often. :)

December 22, 2021

Placed an order online through their website, and when I arrived at the pick up time thirty minutes later, they hadnt begun cooking the food at all. No apology, I was just asked whether I could wait for 5 minutes. Of course, it took about another 15. Saw tons of delivery/Uber orders go out the door while waiting. Both pasta dishes we ordered were really underwhelming... And the carbonara was actually cold in some spots (if it were made fresh, Im not sure how it could be cold?) They also did not include the dipping sauce for the chicken wings. Unfortunately, not the local neighborhood spot we were hoping for. Wont be ordering again.

Ordered pizza through uber, was told the driver was 30 mins late so I asked for a new one and they said they would make it, very much appreciated as I am a chef and know what a good pizza should be. Dough is very good and ingredients tasted fresh, leopard spots on crust and overall good taste, only criticism is bottom of the pizza tasted ashy, perhaps practice cleaning pizza oven after a few cooks, overall very good for the value would recommend dinos to other customers, bravo guys!
