Don’s Pizza opened in 1960 in Sudbury, Ontario, and has been using the same recipe since the beginning. The business has changed hands a few times throughout the years, but the new owners are bringing Don’s back to its former glory. Offering Sudbury’s best pizza, wings, apps, salads, pastas, sandwiches, desserts, and much more!
Where takeout pizza is concerned, it’s my favourite in the city. The large was huge, 16 slices and they loaded it with pepperoni. It’s nice and thin and crispy, edges were a bit charred but overall delicious. Would recommend everyone to at least try it.
I was scared to get the gluten-free pizza, but I tried it and it’s one of the best pizzas that I have gotten so far that is gluten-free so thank you so much highly recommend
Pizza is not the best, was burnt, thin and had a moldy taste. Had to throw it out was a waste. Would not recommend especially for the price!
Used to go here all the time as a kid before leaving Sudbury. Glad to see the new owners have maintained the same taste and quality I remember! Would love to see the Lasagna return to the menu one day perhaps. Absolutely loved that with the famous sauce. Will be back anytime I'm in Sudbury!
10 out 10 !! We ordered two large pies and 2 large Ceaser Salads . We were 6 people . Pizza was fantastic with fresh topping our crust was well done the way we wanted . Salad was fresh and not store bought dressing . Big chunks of bacon and nice croutons . The waitress was absolutely delightful. The whole group was pleased and will definitely be going back in the near future.
Excellent pizza! One of my favourite spots in Sudbury for take away pizza. Very accommodating of different dietary needs while not compromising on flavour.
Haven't eaten at Don's pizzeria in a few years and I don't know why because we had pizza and garlic bread and it was fantastic what a mistake not going to this place more I wish it was closer to where I lived but it's not service was great atmosphere is great and the food was truly fantastic Loved it I think it's going to be one of our go-tos from now on
Ordered a pizza because they had good reviews. Pizza was kinda burnt. Tomato sauce, ethier had no flavor or there was too little. Kinda disappointed.
Best Pizza in Sudbury
Good pizza very tasty. Waitress working her ass off doing a great job.
Great pizza Ive ever had!
Best pizza
Good food, a bit pricey
Ever since technica bought the place the prices have gone insane. He thinks hes selling pizzas to vale.
The pizza is nowhere near what it used to be buy a main frozen pizza its exactly the same
We went there a half an hour before close very friendly really good pizza I ordered the meat lovers
Not bad! Was expecting a little more for the price, but it was still a nice homemade style pizza
VERY expensive and the pizza isnt nearly as good as everyone says.
Good pizza, and delivery was quick for a lunch time meeting. Donnt take orders over the phone. Sorry the whole world doesnt want to do everything on line. The hidden 7.50 service fee on 2 pizzas was ridiculous on top of a delivery fee and the tip. What is this for, a forced tip?
Dons takes pizza seriously. Best pizza Ive had in sudbury
Food. Delicious. Service. Amazing. Overall great! Food : 5/5
Ordered two pizzas, both had such little flavour and over cooked crust we might as well have saved money and bought frozen pizzas. We found the crust to have the same texture as frozen pizza anyway. Very disappointed given all the 5 star reviews that convinced to give it a try.
My wife and I look forward to eating Dons large veggie pizza every time we are in town. We place our order within 15 minutes of getting to Dons, sitting down, getting Dons own 707 beer, and feasting on our pizza. We also order their Byng St Beet salad and cannoli...simply excellent! The ladies that anchor the dine in service are absolutely great. Well be there next weekend and just cant wait...Thank you Dons staff for the best pizza, period, in our opinion. BTW, for those who comment about the pizza being burned or overcooked, you should know that is exactly how this pizza should be served and appreciated as culinary excellence. Ciao Dons and grazie!!!
I had Dons for takeout tonight and it was absolutely phenomenal! As always, everything was cooked to perfection. We ate half the pizza before even sitting down! They have a great variety of toppings and options for those of us with dietary restrictions. My favourites are the House Special, Don Luigi, Meatball sub, Garlic Knots and Caesar salad. Highly recommend Dons to everyone looking for a pizza night in or out!
Pizza would be better with fresh mushrooms instead of canned
Amazing food, I recommend the 707 beer and porketta panino... 707 on tap now too
The best meatball sub that I had in Sudbury is at Dons Pizza! Its so good and tasty. The meatballs, the bread, the sauce, its all perfect.
I tried your pizza twice. The first time it was under cooked the 2nd time it was black. For 38$ a pizza I thought I d let you know
The original sudbury pizza place, not too many like this left. Must try if your in sudbury!
Great little gem for take out or dine in
Kid-friendliness: Thank for opening in the southend. Food
Hands down, the best pizza in town. There is a lot of variety on the menu. The staff is friendly and always wanting to do their best both in the kitchen and out front. The Caesar salad was very good too! Phenomenal pizza! The House special is the best. Excellent value as well. A small pizza is massive and full of ingredients! We are always happy here!
Very disappointed, thin crust. Not like it used to be. No more !! Wasnt cheap either.
Ive been living in Sudbury for over 10 years and have never visited this place. Discovered it driving by many times but only decided to try it out after seeing if reviewed in the local paper. I ordered take out: pep, veggie, Hawaiian, and 2 salads: caseer and garden salad. Prices for these pizzas and salads was on the expensive side. Same price points at Cortina, pizza joint or pizza romma. The pepp had an interesting taste. A bit burned for my liking in some areas. The veggie and hawaiian were not burned. The crust was pretty bare with no char or brown spots. I can only describe it was a card boardy crunchy texture of the crust. It wasnt soft but it wasnt ultra crispy. Toppings were generous. Enjoyed the char of the pepperoni. But honestly, the crust was burned on the pepp. Which was a bit disappointing. I ate many slices and didnt feel like it was too greasy. Salad wise, plenty of toppings and a nice size. Still a bit on the pricey side. I feel this place brings a lot of nostalgia to many people who lived in Sudbury for some time and that pushes this up into peoples favorite pizza joint. For me though, it misses its mark.
Sudburys absolute best Pizza. I recommend a visit. You will not be disappointed.
Pepperoni tasted not so good.
Under carriage burnt to a crisp.
Excellent pizza with consistency and super customer service.
Pizza did not disappoint. Like the old days!! Spaghetti and meatballs also very tasty. Food
Best pizza in town. Not the cheapest, but the best.
I ve had both take out and dine in. Although the take out is top notch- the dine-in is a must experience! You re greeted when you enter with delicious smelling Italian cooked spices. The staff is friendly and warm. In my opinion home of the best deep fried pickles in Ontario. Had the technica special. 10/10! Have had the house and the Hawaiian pizza. previously and so so good!
Great spot. Pizza was really good. Their online platform is easy to use and you can pay with ApplePay.
This is THE place to get a pizza in town! Dine in for the full experience.
1 word .AMAZING! The pie was easily a 5/5. Cooked perfectly without even having to ask. Great char on the top and bottom and generous with the toppings. I could only leave 5 stars for the service but it was a 6/5 and they went above and beyond. We re from outta town, it was our first time here, didnt know it closed at 7 and we got there at 6:40 on April 18th. The host, Haley, said we could still order and encouraged us to sit down and dine in so we could enjoy the pizza. She said she didn t mind as she had a few things to do around the restaurant after closing as did the kitchen staff. Her and the kitchen staff s kindness were extraordinary and is in the top 3 of everywhere we ve eaten across North America. The owner is lucky to have staff like that in times like these. Thanks for the best pie we ve had in years and better service than 99% of restaurants. We ll be back soon and often.
Less burnt in a good way, really good pizza.
This might be the only pizza place around where you can get a high quality pizza, hand made with simple ingredients AND get a tiramisu for dessert. Throw in some chicken wings and youve got magic. Highly recommends Dons!
I just tried dons about a month ago and its My absolute favorite pizza place around.
Amazing food, good price, lots of it! Would 100% go again. Appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant as well as the good service :)
Excellent pizza! Cooked fresh to order and in a timely manner. Their garlic knots alone are to die for! So tasty with just the right amount of garlic butter! The dip it came with was amazing! Would highly recommend if your in the area, or just looking for a quality pizza!
Great pizza. Great service. Great atmosphere. A Sudbury tradition. Kid-friendliness: Free Video Games Food : 5/5 |
Amazing food and wonderful staff that clearly care about who comes in and what they give them. Love this place,
Went in for lunch yesterday had a porketta panino was delicious. Service was great. Definitely a must if your in Sudbury
Awesome pizza and many more great dishes, I always recommend family and friends to come here I tried and will never eat anything other than Dons pizza best around town 5 Stars and Friendly Customer Service and Quality
Absolutely hands down the worst food I ve ever had. Put canned mushrooms on and charging nearly 30$ for a small? It smelled and tasted like someone s basement and soggy.
Great pizza and sandwiches plus an arcade machine!!
New Owners, New Review We just had our first Dons experience since the new owners bought it. When you buy a business that is a local institution, you have to tread very carefully. That being said, the new owners definitely know what theyre doing, and nailed it perfectly. They have managed to update the look of the interior - something that hadnt been done in 30+ years. Theyve turned those red and white checkered tablecloths into the whole motif for the business, and it looks fantastic. They replaced the Ms Pacman machine with a modern multi-game cocktail cabinet. Everything looks more modern, whilst still respecting the history of the business. The food tells the same story. They seemingly havent changed the Dons Pizza recipe at all. Its still the same crust, the same excellent quality toppings, and the same taste. However they have added a few more upscale dishes to their menu, once again seamlessly blending the old with the new. Ive not met the owners, but theyre doing an excellent job.
Food was DECENT, people were nice, price was crazy expensive!
10/10 !! Best pizza and garlic knots in town!!! Food
Best pizza in Sudbury!
Water in my spaghetti it was horrible..tasted like nothing and pizza sucked has well...caned mushrooms were very watery!!!
Thank you so much Don s pizzeria for your good hearted generosity. food was delicious Plan A Florence Food : 5/5
We ordered 2 pies. Both were burnt a tasteless. Lots of topping, very little sauce . First and last time. Not recommended for human consumption.
Best homemade pizza I had
Good pizza but easy on the burning...was black on the bottom. Will order it lightly done next time.
Over 100$ for tasteless pizza and ok wings at best. Will NOT return Food
Great pizza! Best in the city
Extremely disappointed with this pizza place. Ordered a large pizza and wings and paid 90.00. They charged me 5.00 delivery then Doir dash charged me another 15.00. Tge wings were 20 00 for 6 wings, the pizza had canned mushrooms and undercooked with all the toppings shifted to the center of pizza. Will never order there again!
Everything on the menu is spectacular. I Highly recommend.
Excellent pizza and pasta
Im not sure what happened to pizza over the years but it didnt happen here. Fantastic pizza still and my favorite in all of Sudbury. I travel half the city to get it.
Dope pizza and wings, sandwiches are good too
Perfect pizza .
Awesome service, delicious pizza
Food was fantastic, staff were awesome. I highly recommend you try their maple whiskey wings.
Absolutely delicious food all around. Fast , friendly service.
Pizza at its best
This is supposed to be Sudbury s best pizza? NOT EVEN CLOSE! I m sorry, but the crust reminded me of a frozen pizza. And the toppings? The green peppers and mushrooms are there for colour, not flavour. Can they be any smaller? After reading the article in the Sudbury News, I thought wow I ll give this a try and was SO disappointed. If you think this is the best pizza you need to get out more and try different things
Great atmosphere and awesome pizza!
Had their pizza for the first time in 40 years and weve been going back every week since. Its really good!!
The Pizza was pretty decent. Lots of Toppings but a little light on the sauce for the Pizza. The reason why Im leaving a 2-star rating is that we ordered delivery only to wait around an hour and a half for the Pizza, while whoever delivered the pizza left the box full of Pizza on the ground in front of the doorway without knocking or ringing the doorbell. Very unprofessional, and it was a good thing I looked out the door. Its the middle of winter, leaving a box of pizza on the ground in front of a house without knocking just shows they dont care for the customer.
Great pizza. Love the crust!
Amazing food! Amazing staff!
Its okay but it tastes more like it would be a homemade pizza which personally if Im going to get takeout, I want to not really taste like homemade pizza.
Called in an order at 3:00pm for pick up at 5:30. Arrived for pickup on time and was told it would be another 5mins. 10mins later was told there was a problem with the order and it would be another 10mins. 25mins later finally received my order. They apologized and gave me a $15 dollar gift certificate for the inconvenience. Serving food at home and pizzas were burnt. They sure don t remind me of the Dons pizza of my youth. Would not recommend.
Dons is the best and most unique pizza in Sudbury.
Good pizza, but expensive price. Even charge for extra topping
Great pizza. I liked everything about it. The sauce, the crust, the meat even the vegetables.
Dons is a Sudbury landmark, and makes fantastic pizza. The old-school, hand-stretched (often not perfectly round, hahaha) pizza with tasty sauce and amazing thin crust is unlike anyone elses in town. Its got a vintage vibe - you wont find fancy toppings here - plain jane, old school, done right. Its not cheap, and its not 2 for 1 - its GREAT pizza.
Kitchen is mouse infested
Great pizza and a ton of wings
Amazing flavorful pizza, and quick service. The arcade table was also a fun addition. Lots of seating for big families looking for a premium pizza experience. Parking is at the side of the building, along the alley.
The vibe of the pizzeria is a great one for sure, but the food was just good, nothing too special. I ordered a Ceasar salad and a regular pepperoni pizza and Ill say the salad was just fine. I guess my issue was the pepperoni made the pizza a bit more greasy than Id like, and I probably should have ordered the pizza a little bit more well done for a better crunch. I will say aside from that, if the sauce needed to be reduced more, it didnt really come through and the pizza would have benefited from a thicker sauce, but overall this spot is a good one. ****As a disclaimer, my brother has a pizza oven and has been really spending lots of time trying to master dough and sauce making, so Im usually tough on pizza places.***
Best pizza! Their medium is like a large. Ordered medium and large, yeah paid over $50 but damn good quality and delish pizza!
Excellent quality food
Grabbed takeout last when I was in Sudbury a couple weeks ago. It reminded me of the Dons I remembered as a kid. So good. Crisp crust at the bottom, well-done on top, but still perfect in the middle. Thats art.
Food was great as always!
Gem
Great Reno, even better pizza
Great place for the fam....missing some chocolate milk for the kids. But that is fine
Delicious pizza and even better service. Our server was exceptional! Super clean dinning room with a fun retro decor. Looking forward to going back to try the sandwiches. Also, best cannoli I ve ever had! Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options Parking: Parking at the back of building Kid-friendliness: My kids love the arcade game.
I keep searching Sudbury for the perfect pizza. This may be it. Don s Pizza is a slice from the past. The pizza tastes the way pizzas are supposed to taste before the chain store pizzas started folding their cardboard tasting pizza. The place itself has a nostalgic charm and overall the food rivals the best of the Italian fine dining in the area. With Don s pizzas I m equally happy bringing home a meal to the family or selfishly enjoying some hot slices in my car with a 0 beer like the punk that I am. Find him. Eat m. You won t believe you ate the whole thing. But Never disappointed.
Absolutely amazing place!! Max and his crew were able to accommodate my entire hockey team and parents. Terrific spread of world class homemade pizza and wings. They made it easy to organize the event and provided top notch service. Best Pizza in town!!
Louisa marcuccio was there 2 friend pizza best taste in sudbury am ltalian had pizza my father barker marcuccio sudbury val caron keep great work Kid-friendliness: Sever great back soon thank you
Ultimately da Best
Amazing crust.
Simply the best, better than all the rest!!! The tastiest pizza in Sudbury. Pete makes the best and is not cheap with his toppings and his pizzas are bigger than any other in Sudbury by size comparison. The cost may be a little more and there are no 2 for 1 specials but you get what you pay for and it is well worth it. This is real homestyle pizza. Awesome job Pete and to your mom also!!!!
It was delicious and crispy .... This is best pizza I ever had... Youve got to give me the recipe for this pizzaaaaa !
Hands down the best pizza
Best in town!!!
Love the pizza, subs and atmosphere. Thanks Pete Great place you have there.
Love it thanks pete for the Great pizza you made my wife & I we ate it on the steps near our lady of hope church on the lovey day we had recently . you always make Great food. People shood try your spaghetti & meatballs hope you still make it coming for some soon .
Our favorite local pizza joint!
Great pizza in town. Usually it is quiet busy on the weekends and the wait time is more but it is worth the wait.
Pizza of my youth ... Still just as good in mid-life. Crust is perfectly cooked, toppings are always fresh and flavorful. Sauce is lip-smacking good. Dons Pizza is a classic for good reason!
Was ok. Maybe it was a bad day, half the crust was burnt. Will try one more time.
Best pizza in Sudbury!
Stopped in while traveling through Sudbury on a suggestion from a friend. It was amazing. One of the best pizzas I ve had. Service was great too. They got it done in no time as my family waited.
Their house Pizza is absolutely Amazing.
Absolutely amazing pizza! Cooked to perfection each time, authentic European style crust, and is delicious tasting! I would definitely recommend everyone to try Dons!
Freshly Hand made made pizza , so yummy
Meh....
We drove in to Sudbury late and wanted a pizza for a quick and easy meal at our hotel. The owner placed our order even though it was near his closing time, he chatted up my friend and was extremely kind! The pizza was delicious! We were glad to have found this pizza place that has been around for many decades! Enjoy if you are in or passing by Sudbury!
Excellent Pizza, so darn good. It s definitely premium Pizza at a premium cost. Can t wait till next time
Donations Pizza babayyy.
Expensive, but worth the price for quality of the pie. Delicious, great sauce and friendly owners who have been in business for over 30 years. If you havent been, this is a must-eat in Sudbury.
Expensive and slightly burnt pizza crust
If you get takeout its too big for the box. Good problem to have.
Pete truly cares about the product he puts out. He makes a terrific pizza and you can also have a frank conversation with Peter while youre there. Dons Pizzeria is one of a kind. Its worth going back if you have not been in a while. Great local restaurant.
Great PIZZA & best MEATBALL SUB Everr. Way to go Pete.
Great service and great pizza
Its unfortunate that Don is such a sasquatch enthusiast. When Don isnt talking about yetis and Krakkens, you can find him making pizzas and crying himself to sleep at night only to be woken up at 5am with another classic Scumbury hostage scenario.
Solid Pie, period.
the guy with the most best and around noodles to get more places.
Best pizza in town hands down.
Good pizza, need a delivery cost lower than $7.
Amazing pizza and nice 80s feel
Always reliable! Ordered ahead, reserved a table. Delicious pizza and great prices
Pizza made by a Master! This place is not mass produced fast food.
Great customer service. The absolute best pizza in town!!!!!
Got there and sat a the table and given menus. Moments later he said he was real busy but will do his best to make the xlarge pizza we ordered. 45 minutes later...still no drinks and said its in the oven. Huge pizza with generous toppings but no flavor and little burnt. Not the dons Im used too in Timmins...now that a tasty pizza
Best pizza in town..real ingredients.. excellent service.. really good stuff..youll crave his food
Best Pizza in town
Old school pizza joint...the best!
...literally my favourite slice in town. The hours arent the best when the only pizza in town that you crave is one from Pete himself, but, damn that is one fine pie. I advise you to call ahead, dine in if you have the opportunity and enjoy!
Classic pizza joint that takes you back in time. The pizzas are hot and delicious.
The best pizza ever
Great unique tasting pizza
Dons Pizzeria is a hidden gem in Sudbury. Pete adds a spice that makes the pepperoni pizza some of the best Ive ever had.
Pete is the man. FOR SURE the best pizza in town. Always remembers my favourites. Five stars!
The crust and portions were generous and the service was adequate. Unfortunately, that is where the praise ends. The sauce and toppings were very disappointing.
I remember you Dons pizza 30 years ago
