196 Royal York Rd, Etobicoke, ON M8V 2V6, Canada
Locally owned pizza shop serving yummy delicious freshly made gourmet pizzas, homemade panzerotti & chicken wings for takeout & delivery. Call us to make an order.
I went by IL padres for a lunch slice. At $6.50 for a slice and pop, it's not a bad deal. The slice is okay. The crust here is thin and a little bit on the denser side. However the sauce and cheese is quite good! Overall this is a nice spot that has been around for a while. It's a nice neighborhood spot and a good stop for a quick lunch.
Very nice home-run pizza store that makes amazing pizza, wings, and more. I definitely recommend trying the meat lover pizza and the honey garlic wings if you’re looking for a filling meal. Staff and customers are the friendliest I’ve ever met, and will make you feel at home and make for an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend trying if you’re from around here or just visiting.
Family owned spot with great pizza and pizza subs, and sauces made from scratch too, must try, they've been here for years
We got the pepperoni pizza with the garlic dip. Really good pizza at a great price. The pizza was freshly made from scratch. The dipping sauce was also freshly So it was very tasty. The owners were also very sweet. They are about to retire and told us about how the area has changed over the years. Also, great price! We got a big slice of pizza for five and a half dollars!
One of the best pizzas in Toronto, and here is why: This family-owned pizza place has been in business for over 20 years, and they are still popular all these years. They always have customers from morning to evening - this speaks to the fact of how good their food is. They always have fresh produce and make their dough every day. In addition, their prices are very affordable; I don't know any other pizza place that can give you such high-quality food at this price. If there was a way to eat pizza every night and stay healthy and fit, I would eat there every day of the week. I tried almost every pizza flavor there, and my favorite is Pesto Pizza - I highly recommend it, especially if you ask to add some mushrooms and olives. I also suggest you call them 15-20 minutes before coming to pick it up. I wish this place to expand and grow so that more people would try their fantastic food!
I have eaten pizza in every province and territory, and this is excellent pizza! I've been going to Yummy pizza since the 90s and just went for a slice today in 2023. It tasted exactly like I remember it! Great crispy thin crust, nicely seasoned sauce with a good amount of oregano, quality cheese and toppings. This place has been a staple of the community for years and the owners are a lovely family. Highly recommended! Much better than the local chain options and overpriced pies from the new spots.
1. We are 3.5 KM away from the pizza shop. 2. We placed the order at 1920 hrs, with an estimated 2000 hrs. delivery time. 3. We had to contact the shop twice to confirm if our order is being delivered. 4. Pizza arrived at 2118 hrs. The order arrived; it was incorrect. The bruschetta wasn’t delivered in the order which we had paid for. They did made large pizzas for us instead of the medium pizzas, which was definitely appreciated but was very late nonetheless. The pizza arrived hot and fresh which is indicative of the order was clearly forgotten about. The food is excellent, great presentation and fresh looking ingredients. Very tasty. The product is great, willing to give it another chance hoping they can redeem themselves in the future.
It's a mom and pop gourmet pizzeria. Great prices for gourmet pizza! This little hidden gem has been around for 25 years. Come and get a slice if you don't want a whole pizza. This pizzeria has been taking care of there community. From pizza day at schools to food trucks. It doesn't have a chance to make it in my door. You got to try it! Have a look at my pictures and press the like button!
First time. Came here based on the high ratings. The place inside looks unhygienic and the kitchen was cluttered with random stuff all over the place. We got one slice and it was definitely not fresh. From the day before? Or worse. Food
They always change the prices and there is no price list
The best local pizza and lovely owners! Absolutely adore this place. The pizza dough is nice and light, sauce is delightful.
Great little pizza shop in TO.
God bless the Owner such a nice and loveable person, the pizza is delicious and the service is amazing. They have been in business for 30 years. Would recommend this place. Food
Excellent pizza, and very friendly service. 10/10 would come again on another trip.
Best pizza/meatball sandwiches in the area!
This place feels like a second home especially when youre trying to get away from problems. Owners are welcoming and kind; sometimes youd get little offers as an kind gesture. Id always will consider visiting from a long week of lectures.
Delicious and very well priced. Super friendly lady who owns the place served us. Will definitely be back.
Best pizza I have ever had and high quality pizza
Excellent
Kid-friendliness: The have wonderful service and amazing food,and also the treat everyone kindness and caring towards everyone which I love!! Food
I m not big on giving out secret places, but this is one good pizza place
Mimico Jr A lacrosse loves this place.
Good pizza, there is a promotion of two slices and a drink for $6.5
It s a good ópcion for lonch
Sick of cold food arriving from bicycle delivery drivers on Uber eats. Gave these guys a call and got delivered a DELICIOUS pizza. Such high quality ingredients, hot and tasty.
The perfect neighbourhood pizza spot. Wonderful pizza, excellent service, and the kindest owners.
Friendly owner..tasty pizza.
I should have read the reviews before I ordered. They clearly have an consistency problem with advertising what will be included in a combo and not following through. As someone said awhile a go The toppings are good quality ingredients and they dont skimp. But theyre much too salty and greasy. The caesar salad is okay: way too much generic dressing, not tossed, mediocre croutons, but fresh lettuce. The wings are decent but need to shake before you eat to spread sauce. Mostly the problem is in the service / advertisement If you order a combo, you expect to get whats in the combo. If it includes bruschetta then there needs to be bruschetta. Instead I got a sausage bun with cheese on it? That is not an adequate substitution.
Best pizza in etobicoke!
Ive been going here for almost a decade and even though I dont live in Mimico anymore, I still come back! They are very kind to their customers. The pizza is like no other and the prices are great! My favourite pizza place in Mimico and in the GTA!!!
Gross, how did this place get high reviews?
Little place but in flavor and love it s big! I recommend 100%.
Best value for taste pizza in the hood hands down - family did a pizza contest of 15 pizza places this was #1 - 5 stars
Pizza really late and was so salty I couldnt eat it. I called and brought box Pizza he wouldnt give me a refund. Never again.
Had this 11 meat lovers. Quite big enough for 2 people! Made freshhhhhhh. Sooooo delicious.
Best pizza in town!! Lovely family owned business. So hospitable, welcoming, and great service. Would absolutely come again and will continue to come here as well!!!
Best pizza 8n the world ten stars
Hawaiian pizza is out of this world. It tastes delicious. It exceeded my expectations. It has a lot of cheese. In addition, his attention is wonderful always with a smile and an incredible kindness, Super recommended
The pizza is delicious, fresh, and with a unique flavor. Its the best pizza Ive ever eaten. Moreover, the service from its owners is excellent; they are very friendly
Ordered Pepperoni pizza, it was bland for my taste and the service is slow. But, lovely people running the business!
Mediocre pizza for the most part. There s just something lacking, a sort of blandness to the dough, to the sauce. It needs a little more pop, a little more tang, or zest. 6/10
Waiting for long time and the place is not busy
Best pizza in area by far and our family knows pizza
Completely wrong order and hanged up on me twice when I called the store. I dont know if they changed owners. Used to be amazing couple years back. This was a giant fail in my book and I will no longer go back.
We ordered thin crust pizza. Good tasting pizza, fresh ingredients, properly cooked, nice crust, and at a good price. Recommend trying.
My wife ordered pizza almost 3 hours ago, and we still dont have it.
Best pizza from the nicest people for 10 miles. Never order anywhere else.
Some really tasty food, but lacks something. Not too sure what though...
The owners were very nice and pleasant but the pizzas ordered were just ok. Even though the crusts were nice and thin and crispy, they were a bit dry.
Local business that makes a great pizza. Probably is my new favourite or one of my favourites in all of Etobicoke. Their wings are also very reasonably priced. Super hard to find wings in Toronto for reasonable prices these days. I ordered online and went to pick up my order, it wasnt ready yet, and I do think they were just making it as I got there. They may have had other orders or something, not sure. I didnt mind waiting and the food was well worth it. I definitely recommend it!
Excellent basic local pizza!! Great sevice!!
I ordered 2 pizzas. The first one was a large 3 topping and one was ground beef. It tasted awful. I tried to take it off the slices I had but I couldn t. No seasoning whatsoever. It tasted too bland. There wasn t enough sauce and was too dry. I was very disappointed. The 2nd pizza was a small vegetarian. That was a lot better but it too didn t have enough sauce and was dry. It wasn t salty which I didn t mind on this pizza. I won t be going back
More authentic than the usual chains. You can t compare. Reasonably priced. Vegetarian options: Plenty
Best pizza for the money in town.
Stopped in on the reccomendation of my friend for good pizza in the area. Was not disappointed. It is not the the fanciest pizza place in the world. But its well done and the people there seem to cared about making sure its a good product going out the door. Crust has got a good bite to it, sauce is flavorful and theres a nice selection of toppings, all for reasonable prices. I also had their panzarotti recently and very much enjoyed, would just make sure to ask for a bit more tomato sauce next time. Happy to have such a great place near by and will be sure to order again when Im craving a pie.
Basic takeout pizza.
Best pizza place in Toronto! Great hospitality!
Family owned and family oriented. The kids love this place and the thin crust pizza is perfecto.
Delicious and very reasonably priced local pizza spot! Very friendly owners and staff and the pizza is always a crowd pleaser.
Great pizza play with nice staff. Recommended ordering over phone and ahead of time. Greek pizza is good, comes with tons of toppings. Inside could use some work but eh, most people are going for takeout so its fine.
Great authentic Italian pizza ran by the nicest Italian grandmother, good prices and definitely worth the trip!! :)
Order two party pizzas that come with 3-5 toppings. Pretty good. Also orders wings. They were alright
I love going here all the time. The pizza and the pizza subs and their customer service is all amazing 10/10 . The prices are really fair also. I definitely recommend checking out this small family business !
Great service. The food is delicious and the personal are kind and generous people. We got the order really fast and were served with free drinks while waiting. Well definitely come back again
Loved this place, the setups really cool and the people were amazing. Pizza was phenomenal
Best local pizza joint in town. Reasonable prices and delicious tasting slices. Allow for extra time for delivery and pick up. Not much parking nearby. Family owned and operated, super friendly and treat all the kids in the neighborhood/local schools so well.
First time and last time ordering pizza and wings from this place asked for delivery. Worst ever. Pizza was burnt no taste and not enough sauce and wings were over cooked and burnt. And ask to put sauce specifically on side but they dont they just mix all the different sauces that i asked to put on the side in there. Cant even read simple instructions. Not ordering from there again.
Very tasty pizza!
Best pizza no surprises
Food
Awesome wings and great customer service price is right!
This is a mom and pops pizza. They care about family, the community, and making a good slice.
Paul and Lily have been amazing. They have the best pizza in the city. I am shocked at how good the quality and ingredients of the pizza is. I will recommend this service to all my relatives from here on out. If you are ever in the Etobicoke area. Please make sure you check them out!!! They are located 196 Royal York Rd!
Hidden jewel...
Ordered by phone medium pizza for pick up. Was told approximately 15 minutes ready. Get there 20 minutes later and they havent even started it. Total waiting time 45 minutes. That is at least 25 minutes longer than what I was told. This will be my last time ordering food here.
Good pizza, great service
Everything from service, prices and the taste of pizza was spectacular. My friend recommended me this place and I m glad she did because it s so good. Overall, I highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
Just ordered 1 slice and felt so welcomed. Wont hesitate to come here more often
one of the poorest pizzas ever.. very disappointing, this is what gives our city bad name for pizza.. very sad..they simple dont know what they are doing
Best pizza in Toronto absolutely a must try
Little family owned shop Very nice people but you can very clearly see sanitation is not a thing here. Touching cell phones and then the pizza without washing hands. Hanging clothes up outside then comes inside to serve and no hand washing.. As a paying customer if I ask for my slice to not be warmed up too hot I expect my request to be granted and not told its not hot enough I often have slices left over from the previous day or if ordering a pepperoni and all they Have is cheese they will just throw pepperoni on top of the cheese slice and heat it up. The peps are then not cooked properly. Also having my slices cut like this is pretty sad. The inside is not very customer friendly. The same 1 person table and bench that is never clean. The door is always open in the summer and the inside is swarmed with bugs and bees.
Excellent pizza
I LOVE this place! Best pizza in Toronto. Staff is polite and friendly. Highly recommended.
This pizza is amazing The owner is friendly and very polite. You definitely need to try it
A pizzeria in a residential neighborhood that I found by chance and it surprised me a lot. Very good pizza and quite generous. The owner is very friendly and very nice. The delicious pizzas. 100% recommended
Best NYC pizza Ive had in Toronto
Excellent
stood in the store for 5 minutes with 4 people working, but no acknowledgement of presence or interest in taking my order, so left. guess they do not need the business. I would suggest avoiding until they get some customer service.
Cant find a more affordable good pizza place in Toronto!
I deleted my old review to create a new one. Still glowingly high, but now that I get a pizza here at least every week or two I have to declare this the best pizza on earth. I now have a favorite combination: Pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, bacon, ground beef and double cheese. Best pizza Ive ever tasted and a really low price too. AND the nicest owners! A real mom and pop place. Pizza has been my favorite take out for most my life and as long as I live in this neighborhood I have no reason to go anywhere else.
Amazing and really affordable gluten free pizza! And great honey garlic wings!
Got a slide today, the pizza was good and the people running the shop were nice.
Fantastic pizza!
Great pizza and you can really see how the owner take pride in there work
Impressive pizza spot! The crust strikes a perfect balance, toppings are fresh and generous, and the sauce has a zesty kick. Quick, efficient service enhances the overall experience. A must-try for pizza enthusiasts just a tiny step from perfection!
Great affordable local option in the area. The prices are quite generous especially given the prices nowadays. Very big portions especially their pastas around $8-$10 range. The pizza had generous amount of toppings compared to major pizza chains, definitely worth supporting this local business!
Friendliest people with great food.
Never Again !! 1st timer here, rating was high, and wanted a mom&pap shop instead of a franchise joint. Inside, looks like it was lost in the 70s and nothing done since. 2 slices were handled with bare hands. Slices tastes like they were left over from the night before, was like cardboard. Have bad better pizza at Chuck-E Cheese !
I love coming there with my kids, I always feel like visiting my grandparents!! It is so special to have this forgotten (in Canada) bonding between people, have a chat. This is a magic ingredient
Just order pizza, expect oil to seep through the bottom of the box. Pizza was good, stick to just the pizza.
Yuuummmyyy pizza. Perfect family friendly spot at reasonable prices. We ve been ordering from here forever. Call ahead for faster service.
Omg love this place!!! So charming! Classic pizza joint/ hang out spot
Best slice in South Etobicoke
Pizza was amazing. Disappointed in the wings they were very small. Sorry to rate that but I loved your pizza
Really great tasting pizza. Authentic home made taste
Great pizza and nice people. Great value.
Been coming here since I was a kid. The prices have always been amazing, the pizza is the best in the city
Came here with high hopes and prices were so reasonable. What I witnessed was atrocious! Paul preferred cash, so after he took my $20, he took my noodles(boiling in a pot) off the stovetop, drained water, then used his FINGERS to put into my takeout box!!!!
This is the BEST pizza in all of the GTA. Beautifully made every time and I m always impressed. Unfortunately I never have any leftovers, I guess I have to order more!
Amazing pizza, great customer service and even though it may seem it s busy at times it s 100% worth the wait.
Paul, the owner makes your experience here great with his exceptional customer service...so hospitable and friendly! He goes out of his way to make you feel welcome. My Margarita pizza was very good! I liked the crispy, thin crust and the ingredients tasted fresh. The price is very reasonable and the portions large. It is a great local neighbourhood pizzeria - theres only one table, so best to take it home. Its easy to find. Ill definitely go there again!
The best Pizza Ive had so far. The sauce was AMAZING, the toppings so well paired and balance. Cant wait to try another one!
Love the pizza and pasta here and the owners are so sweet!
Excellent pizza and very nice stuff, thank you.
Great topping selection, great people.
Great value and great pizza. Awesome portions for the price.
Very good pizza! Authentic ma and pa shop! The owners are so friendly. Highly recommended!
Great service and delicious pizza.. Thank you for that vegan pizza !!
Delicious pies served by very welcoming hosts
Super good site. Thin crust pizza, they prepare the fresh dough themselves. Fresh pepperoni. And the best of all their offers. Good service and friendly.
The place to go for pizza and panzos! The panzerottis are MASSIVE and tasty! Great value as well- for 50$ my family enjoyed the bruschetta pizza, 3 panzos, and 2 large salads. All super delicious.
Good pie and prices
A little bit slower pace but it is worth the wait
Nilafur is the sweetest lady. I enjoyed chatting with her while waiting for my pizza. The pizza itself was delicious. All fresh toppings and a thin crust. Delicious
Great staff and pizza!
I walked into this quaint little restaurant with some girlfriends of mine and had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful woman making the pizzas - I believe she was the owner, a very warm and friendly person. Later, at home, the panzerotti was so delicious, I could barely stop myself from eating to take some pictures. Il Padres delivers absolutely delicious taste with that that added touch of love and authenticity!
The lady behind the counter was pleasant. There was a misunderstanding with my order so the lady did her best to rectify the issue. The pizza was decent. The lack of cheese was a bit disappointing. Not sure if Ill be going back.
Amazing customer service. Great quality pizza. Ordered the family meal deal. Fantastic value!
Hot fresh & Delicious pizza! Friendly courteous service and clean environment Great prices for real gourmet food!
Been ordering from IL Padres for years. Always consistent and dependable. The dough is subtlety sweet and crispy. The owners are friendly, polite and courteous. Great Mom and Pops style pizza in Etobicoke.
Excellent pizza, one of the best in Etobicoke.
The best pizza in the world
Best pizza in the city!!! Always fresh, tasty and delicious. Plus, the staff is friendly and always ready to add extra goodness like feta and Parmesan :) Ordered here many times - 5 star review every time
What a wonderful hidden gem! Like all the other reviews say, the pizza is absolutely delicious with its thin crust and special seasoning. I always walk in before or after grocery shopping and get the pepperoni slice with a drink for $5. I even get parmesan cheese on top which makes it an even better deal. Next time Ill get a large and take it home. The couple running the business are truly genuine and friendly. They take pride in what they do!
Absolutely spectacular food. I just stopped by on my way home, ordered a bruschetta, wings and spaghetti, I wanted to sneak a slice of the bruschetta on my way home, it was so good I ate the whole thing while walking. I just had the wings, out of this world, so good I decided to write a review, and I dont usually write reviews
Owners are very pleasant and I really enjoy their pizza. I feel as though theyre good with quantity of toppings and the price is good too. Glad I stumbled upon this place. Will be back.
One of the best margarita pizzas Ive had in Toronto And the best Ive had on the Lakeshore Etobicoke Must try Food : 5/5
so amazing and fresh!!! super huge for an amazing price, I love coming here so much
Place looks kind of sketchy but pizza is so delicious
Very good
Honestly the best I ve had in a long time. Super fresh. No skimping on ingredients. Top quality. Will come here again and again.
Wow! What a gem! This place is worth the stop. Family owned and operated. Ordered the veggie pizza. It was fresh and tasted great! Their crust is wicked! Definitely be back!
Perfect pizza, nice thin crust with the perfect crisp, great cheese and topping coverage, not doughy and undercooked like so many other pizza places.
Definitely one of the best deluxe pizza n wings, not to mention their spaghetti with meatballs Ive ever had. Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely order here again!
The best pizza in the neighborhood
Really tasty pizza from this mom/pop shop. I went to pickup and the pizza was ready. Pleasant experience and great price. Will definitely revisit again.
Decided to try IL Padres tonight and glad we did pizza and wings where great will definitely order from here again.
Hidden Gem I just bought the pizza for the 1st time, bit into one slice & I had to go review it. Highly recommend this pizza spot. Owner is friendly, ingredients are fresh, pizza is tasty. Bang for your buck #supportlocal #Unity6
Good pizza.
BEST Italian food ever. Prepared fresh from scratch and with a whole lot of love. Absolutely amazing!! Ended up going there twice in 3 days to try out more stuff.
The most amazing pasta and extremely fresh pizza and panzeroti ! Homemade and local vibes! Very friendly owner couple. Definitely a must try
Excellent meatball subs
Pizza on point Spaghetti noodle 4 Sauce n meatballs 5 on point Bruschetta OnPoint Mom n pop shop not a chain lets support the local little guys
Love the owners very kind
Fresh n delicious
Great Pizza! The large was the biggest pizza Ive seen in years. It was actually a large. They dont skimp on the toppings either. Lots of cheese and meat. The wings were great too. First time Ive ordered from them and Ill definitely do it again.
Best pizza
Of the best pizzas I have eaten in this area, Yilmas and Nili of the best people, very attentive. I will definitely ask again
Best pizza in Mimico!!
best pizza in canada paul is the broski all mans come here everyday
The best pizza I ve ever eating. Amazing customer service!
Greetings, uncle. I am Bat kan brahims grandson. You have a nice place. Good job.
Delicious
Owner is very kind and the pizza is very good in the area.
Excellent
I do pizza reviews in the city of Toronto anything I give an 8 or higher deserves a five star. Very nice lady was talking about history of the European culture as shes European. Price point for the pizza 10 bucks for a medium cheese which was very very good definitely worth the try this is your typical old school pizza shop just take out only they have one table to sit down
This place has the best pizza in the world, and I ve tried so many pizza places I m pretty much a pizza connoisseur. The quality is consistently 5 stars
Fantastic pizzas with no skimping on high quality ingredients! And props to the kind folks who run this establishment
Il Padres has now become the only pizza place I d eat from. I ve visited them 6 times over the past month, and the food is consistently delicious! The price is very good - their portions are generous. The customer service is outstanding - the owners are engaging and sincere. They take a genuine interest in serving their customer. If you re looking for amazing food, you will not be disappointed here!
Hands down the best pizza place in town. Very warm and welcoming owners! surely my go to pizza place, which is every other day lol
Great food
Family place good people amazing food cant ask for more
I love the pizza here.
Great customer service, even better pizza. The staff is very friendly. A man named Paul brought the pizza to our table, made nice conversation and periodically asked if there was anything we needed. What a great experience!
I was super hungry and saw this glowing little place at the end of the street. We walked in and were welcomed by Paul. He is the owner is the sweetest guy!!! The pizzas are delicious and have the true taste if Italy. Paul heard me talking about buying new plants while I was there and before I left he gave me one!!!!! Can there be a better customer service!!!! I recommend coming here!
Staff is not wearing masks. Additionally, as I was waiting inside for my pizza, another customer walked in without a mask and was interacting with a staff member without social distancing. I overheard that this was her neighbour, but this is not her home, this is a place of business where others like myself are now potentially exposed.
ok so we placed an order online went to pick it up, they said they hadnt waited, somewhat insinuated it was our fault for not calling but whatever we then ordered over the phone. they said 15 mins but took quite a bit longer the pizza itself was quite good however
Excellent pizza.
Great food, never gone wrong
Delicious pizza, family run, only downside is that it is not the fastest during busy meal times
Great long wait though
Amazing welcoming service, every pizza is made with attentiveness that will make you want to go back continuously. Best one of a kind neighborhood pizza parlors Ive been to.
Nice place unique experience
Its OK, not the best pizza but great prices.
I was thoroughly disappointed with this place. I placed an order online for large pizza and wings for my family. The webpage confirmation loading was very slow, so I double clicked on the order button. The store called to verify my order to and to inquire if I indeed wanted two orders or one. I told them I had made a mistake by double clicking on the website. I spoke with the store owner who and refused to return the accidental order to my account, thus double charging me for my order. I am very disappointed with the outcome and certainly wont order from here again. I feel like restaurants are taking advantage of customers and consumers during a very challenging time.
My lunch and maybe dinner. Biggest panzerotti/calzone Ive ever seen (thats what she said) and it was only 11 with tax and tip with 3 toppings! #supportlocal
Best pizza in the GTA.. i drive 15 minutes to pick up because im too far for delivery. Its THAT good!
