Went with my family once, loved the burger and pizza given. Pizza just might be better than the major stores. Really good, would recommend 👍.

I’ve been going to this place for a month now and the food has gone downhill. For starters, the price of some of the items is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering the portions of the food. Secondly, they never have dipping sauce. For a pizza place you’d expect there to be some sort of dipping sauce, but nope! Almost always sold out. Lastly the saleds. I usually order the Greek saled but they put zero feta on it (I’ve always asked for extra) and little to no dressing. I recently tried the ceaser saled, big mistake. There was no ceaser dressing…only creamy garlic. And you could really tell instantly. There was no bacon bits on it, the croutons were rock solid and cut the roof of my mouth. Overall their only good thing is the pizza and the burger. And I’m using the term “good” very lightly.

This place has some of the best poutine, pizza & wings i’ve had in toronto. Definitely a must try place, i’ve been a repeat customer for 2 years now and have never had a bad experience both with the food and service. Owner gives fair portions at fair prices plus they have free Karaoke night every friday

Went to order a burger and the male worker who was preparing it grabbed the raw patty with his bare hands. Seeing that I asked him to remake my burger wearing gloves this time and was met with an angry rant, making me either choose to eat the burger he was preparing or get a refund. There was also a female worker there who stood by and did nothing to stop him. This experience was honestly traumatizing and I will not be returning to this shop

I had been meaning to try this place for awhile and glad I finally did. I've always wanted a local pizza shop that makes stand out pies and now I've finally found one. If you haven't already, give Master Pizzeria a try. Its hands down the best pizza in the hood.

Ordered a small pizza. 5.99 with a premium topping of $1 and a regular topping for 0.75. Was over $9 after taxes. Confused on the pricing there. It also came in a medium box but had 6 slices. Dunno if theres an extra charge if you use the machine instead of cash. Aside from that the pizza is great. Nice thin crust and flaky dough. Clean restaurant with good pricing. Lots of dine in space

Tonight Master Pizzeria saved the day with their professionalism and flexibility. I originally placed an order with Double Double at 6:18 pm, by 8:12 was still on the way . Note the store was only 10 minutes away from my location. I then panicked as there were children and people of all ages waiting 2 hours for pizza. I called Master Pizzeria and they got eveything I needed ready for us in 15 minutes. Not only that but the food was delicious. When everyone tasted the pizza, they forgot that they had been waiting 2 hours for the original order placed. They were so happy. I just want to say thank you the guys working in there tonight. You guys are awesome ! And I found my new pizza place :)

I like their Master Pizza, I get one every month or so. Service is good, but it was so hot in there in the summer, I could barely stand going in there to get my pizza. No way could I have endured the heat inside, so Id sit on the patio. Hardly ideal, you get swarmed by wasps and the patio furniture us so bad it looks like it was stolen from the garbage out back of my building. Uncomfortable and apt to break. Bottom line is that the Pizza is good, but at least in the summer, take it to go.

Horrible food. Wings are small and taste like cleaning chemicals, half the time During business hours theyre closed! Im not sure if its a front. But a lot of the time the people there are rude and none too kind. Id avoid it, unless you REALLY like cheap overdone wings that taste like cleaning chemicals

Ordered a medium vegetarian pizza with two dip and was charged $21 for it on a Wednesday, apparently a large is on spcial that day with dip and pop for a lesser price, but the lady on the phone decided not to mention that. Okay cool, as long as the meal is good I think itll be worth it. Crust: medium burnt and basically inedible. Rest of the pizza: soggy centre with the pizza collapsing on itself and the mushrooms had a burnt tinge to them giving it a terrible aftertaste. Verdict: dont recommend. There are other pizza places within close range that will do a better job for a lesser price. The interior aesthetic of the restaurant is quite nice, though.

I highly recommend this place! I get a cheese pizza with feta and it s always 5 stars. the pizza is always hot and cooked perfectly. the pizza has a perfect dough - topping ratio. its not too thin or too thick. it s my weekly sunday night go to. It is definitely better than any chain pizza places. i also get the caesar salad - so good!! it is a little pricier for a pizza place - but being just my partner and I, paying around 30$ for a large pizza and a salad with two dips is reasonable in comparison. that being said, when we go as a family it is significantly more expensive. I am super happy we found a good small business pizza place near us, a must try if you re in scarborough and appreciate good pizza.

Called in an order. The words went as such. I would like to place an order for 2 pizzas for pickup First pizza will be a small Mediterranean Second will be a medium deluxe/combo pizza. Yes, thats it. Excellent, we will be there in 20 mins. Arrive to 1 small pizza and no medium. When I inquire, they have no idea about the second pizza, but starts making it. No offer to replace the small that is now cooling, no discussion of discount for waiting, just starts making it. I quickly tell him to stop, not standing around waiting 20 mins while my other pizza gets cold. He makes no offer at this point to rectify the order. I am actually mad I even paid for the Mediterranean pizza. From now on, I will do the right thing and order from Papa Johns.

I had been ordering mostly from another place, that is until I tried Master Pizzeria on Dawes Rd. Ive come to prefer a thin crust as I get older, and their pizza is good like that. Thin crust with toppings galore from edge to edge almost. I usually get their namesake special, the Master, I believe it has pepperoni, bacon(real), mushrooms onions and tomatoes on it (not sure on the onions) and it has been really good every time Ive had it (4×). I live nearby so I do the pickup option, but Im sure they deliver, its a.pizza place! Not a ton of seating 8nside, but what space was there was clean and kept so even in winter mess.

The thing about pizza is that its meant to be simple, delicious and not really that expensive. This is extremely expensive. Our family of 6 couldnt agree on one pizza that we tried that was amazing. We tried their novelty pizzas the Dr. Pepperoni, The Napoli Dynamite and the So Mushroom. The pepperoni was just too greasy and I could not taste the fennel at all. Not sure it was even on the pizza. My kids who are sophisticated eaters didnt appreciate the grease. The Napoli Dynamite was liked by two people. I am not a green olive fan and that is all I tasted. I didnt see any jaleponos at all. That was liked by only two of six people. The So Mushroom was okay. Not greasy, but its a white pizza. For me that was the best of the bunch. Lets talk about crust. It was too bready. Pizza should have a crunch when you eat it. Nothing like that here. The sauce was not really noticeable. Toronto Pizza in like many ways is like their Mexican Food. It tries, but never really hits the mark. Perhaps the water of the east coast in NY really makes a difference. Well, not so a little sugar in the dough and you get a crustier crunch. The sauce was overpowered by the toppings so it wasnt really noticeable. The bright star of one of the most expensive pizza and wing purchases I have ever had were the wings. They are true buffalo wings. Be warned they are not spicy so you need to ask for more heat if you like them nicer, but their flavour and the product they used were great. Very friendly staf, its just way to expensive for what you get. 2 small pizzas, 1 large pizza and 1 order of wings over $100. Forgettabout it.

Edit: for some reason the order we put online didn t match the order they received. Not their fault, technology can mess up sometimes. Decided to try a local pizza place tonight and found Master Pizzeria. We ordered an XL pizza online with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, and green peppers but ended up getting a same size pizza but with tomatoes, pepperoni, calabrese sausage, and olives (my least favourite topping). Maybe we were given someone else s order? We only discovered this when we got home and by then we couldn t be bothered to go back to switch. Other than the mixup and the olives, pizza was pretty good. The sausage was really salty.

Nice looking place, rustic. Same with the pizza, it was ok. The waitress seemed pretty high tho. Confused the prices up pretty bad, meaning the price I was charged was more then the menu pricing.

Just discovered this place yesterday and boy am I glad I did. I ordered a pepperoni slice and a can of pop. I dont know how they do it, but each pizza slice is like freshly made pizza. I am very picky with pizza as it is my favourite food, but this was just top notch. I just left the location now after having ordered a slice, wishing I had ordered 2 because of how great it is. And at $3.15 after tax for a slice and a can of pop, youre getting excellent food at a real bargain. Cant recommend this place enough.
