This Pizza Nova has been nothing but supportive whenever we have to order large amount of pizza for school events. They are always way earlier than the expected time and the food is always so fresh. Karan, the delivery person is always super nice and friendly. If you have a large event you need to cater with pizza, this pizza nova is a place to go. They are also vegetarian and vegan friendly.

Pizza was okay (nothing to write home about though). But what prompted me to leave this review was the side I ordered. I had also ordered a cheese garlic bread on the side and this was absolutely foul and a complete waste of money! I took one bite And spit it out and threw the rest of the loaf in the garbage because it Was cold, Stale And honestly, wasn’t even garlic bread. It was a piece of stale bread with a thick slab of slimy butter mixed with garlic powder or flavouring. Disgusted by this And it is unfortunate that I went out of my way and paid extra money for a side when I would’ve been fine with the pizza on its own because it was atleast edible. In addition to just how awful the actual flavour of it was and how stale the bread was, I don’t even think it was actually cook cooked because the butter was cold, not melted at all, and there was a giant piece of parchment paper between the two slices that we had received that we had to peel off before taking a bite. The pizza for what it’s worth wasn’t the worst I’ve had, But at the same time, I can also get pizza that actually tastes way better from Little Caesars, which is way cheaper and that is saying something. I would not recommend going here personally!

Always love this location at Steeles and Dufferin! They are the only pizza nova in a 6 location radius that actually have a good variety of slice options to try out different flavors after a long day at work (in my case)! Today Sam served me and him with his co-worker were friendly and chill in chatting as I waited for my slices to heat up! Other Pizza nova locations need to take a lesson from these guys on providing variety of slice choices!

Great pizza and they heat up the slices quickly if you're on a quick lunch break. Just wish the slices were a little cheaper or if they had some sort of lunch special. Recommend the canadian slice with garlic sauce

I ordered a small pizza and an older Asian gentleman took my order. Was waiting in the store when a Guy comes in with a big bag full of cloths from value village. Gentleman states he’s homeless and asks for a free slice. Older Asian guy gives him a free slice and he leaves. I thought this man was really generous for doing this. After my pizza was finished and was asked to pay, older Asian guy charged me $3 extra on the machine. When I pointed out this was the wrong price he said “Oh you’re lucky..”. Doesn’t apologize or anything. No reaction. I felt like he did this on purpose…

I walked into a very unwelcoming atmosphere. The employee was very rude and grumpy. He gave me an undercooked pizza and the pizza was a big mess. Very bad quality. I will never buy my pizza again at this location. Train your employees. No disrespect but the employee was old and couldn't even walk.

August 12, 2024

Why is it that every time you order a bigger pizza the middle is never cooked? People are paying for food and it's raw.. it's disgusting. Do better or maybe train your staff better since some of them don't seem to care if they make your paying customers sick or not, you work in the food industry- take some responsibility.

On Wednesday afternoon got 5 party size pizzas with various drippings for 26 people and it was done perfectly. Ordered 4 pizzas a way prior and it was done on time, but upon calling for 5th pizza, the customer service put it on rush and was able to make it in 15 mins. Restaurant also got me plates and napkins with some chilli pepper on side. One of the best pizza nova locations i experienced. They always have a wide variety of gourmet slice, always fresh and the workers are amazing and friendly. Almost a min to no waiting when you call customer service l.

I asked the guy for think crust and he said let me see if we have dough! Lots of red spots on the pizza (ie no cheese). The pepperoni is so thin its hard to taste. The location at major mackenzie and Dufferin is so much better, their pizza didnt last a day, this one is still sitting in the fridge 3 days later. Aint ever coming back.

August 21, 2024

My partner ordered for takeout awhile ago.. while he was ordering, we were both in a call so i overheard their conversation and I find the staff very rude as if my partner wasn t allowed to ask questions.. he even yelled at one customer.. The pizza was okay, for me it s missing a lot of flavors. We weren t satisfied.

August 21, 2024

The pizza is very burnt, they overcook it

Majority of the time, I have positive experiences but theres one employee who can be impolite and come off as if youre bothering him when youre just trying to order something. If it wasnt for that one employee, I would give them five stars. Most of the other staff Ive dealt with are professional and as mentioned, I generally have good experiences.

Rude

April 21, 2024

This location at dufferin and steels have a very rude and disgusting customer service from my experience at this location I will never advise anyone to purchase pizza here. Myself and wife had to leave immediately after being harras by the owner or employee at 1:05 pm we have never felted so embarrassed in our lives

March 21, 2024

It was my first time going to this place and was trying to figure out how the deals work. I ordered a pizza and was confused about the toppings simply went ahead and asked the manager to explain . He tried to do it twice and lost his temper. Even after clarifying in no way was i trying to accuse them of overcharging he started yelling at me and my friends along with other customers lined up there. When asked for name , did not answer. The owner of the place can please look into the matter and review this kind of behaviour towards new customers. Extremely rude and unprofessional behaviour to have for someone working in the service industry

* Watch this * Four days ago: I ordered a large il Giardino pizza for pickup. When I came back to pick it up, they had chosen to make it with tomato sauce instead of white sauce since they ran out. They informed me only after the pizza was made and I explained I cannot eat tomato sauce due to sensitivity so they made a new one with oil. I kept the original for my gf. Issue handled well but still a hick-up is a hick-up due to lack of initial communication. An indicator of disorganization. Today: Came back as a happy customer and ordered same thing in jumbo size for pickup. Came home and sat down with my family only to find a bitter burnt bottom pizza. I drove all the way back and politely asked the manager for a new pizza while happy to wait patiently. HERE IS THE PROBLEM: The cook comes over with an attitude, arguing that it is not burnt. I explained it is burnt and bitter compared to the pizza I recently purchased and that I drove all the way here for an exchange because I can definitely tell. Rashan took it as a direct personal attack of critiscm and acted on prideful self preservation to argue with the customer. Rashan is not a manager, and should not be in a position to be confrontational with loyal customers who are buying two signature pizzas a week. I demanded for a refund as the back and forth dialogue became so unpleasant that I decided I do not wish for Rashan to prepare my familys meal. He was rude and had negative vibes. The pizza would be physically and spiritually tainted. I left and immediately called corporate. Got a $5 credit, drove to a different location and waited 20min. Then I finally drove home and after about an hour and 15min. My family finally ate. Thanks for Pizza Nova @ 1881 Steeles for the amazing service (not). Please train your employees how to speak to customers and who has the authority to do so. Quote: This is a slow, mismanaged location with poor customer service -Harris

Today (october 9, 2023) I ordered 4 pizzas around 5:40 pm and two workers prepared them so quickly and made my day. One was an older filipino man, while the other was an southeastern(?) man. I wasn t able to tell them thank you as much as I wanted since I was in a rush, but they really gave the best customer service. Yummy pizza too!

December 21, 2023

I have got 3 slices, paid $15.75 and throw in garbage all slices as they burned. I would order whole pizza but cook said all slices are fresh cooked and recommended to get it. I m not recommend to buy pizzas in this place. So disappointed as I was left without lunch.

Ive ordered many times from this location and no problems until today where I was poorly given service at this location when I picked up my pizza. The employee took food orders of the other customers in front of me and once he finished he didn t even bother to ask what I wanted or any type of help. He wiped his hands on his pants and went to the back not caring as I raised my arms up like Um hello? While my pizza was just sitting there getting cold as I came at the rite time of my pizza being ready. Eventually 3 minutes later another gentleman came to ask if they can help me. Didn t appreciate that today and not at all happy. When I got home, my pizza wasn t even hot and I live 5-10 minutes away from this pizza Nova location.

We ordered one large spinach pizza for our workplace. After 10 minuets we got our order. It was disgusting, cold and not fresh. We called customer service and they were so rude and could not accept their mistake. Do not waste your money and your time. I DO NOT RECO0MMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL.

Pizza was great. We ordered two pizza bruschetta and regular (pineapple and banana peppers) it was unique in its own way . Saying because we tried this combination almost everywhere and it was just distinctive.

December 21, 2021

I just walked in to buy a slice a pizza. I was told I could not be on the phone while ordering a Slice of pizza? @PizzaNova ? Is this your policy ? Future more when I said I wouldnt the guy called the police and threatened to put me in jail ? What kinda Mickey mouse company is this ? I have a video and I recorded the whole Incident? If pizza nova actually cares about the customers and how they are treated they would ask me for the video but so far all I got over the phone when I called the call centre to complain was we talk to the employee and tell them to start talking Nicely ? That was the way pizza nova handles business ? Will not be going to this location untill I hear that employee was dealt with accordingly ? Shame on you Pizza Nova.

I ordered pickup order on Uber eats. I arrived there on designated time and the guy literally ignored for at least 10 mins. No one was wearing mask in the back and it was the worst experience I ve ever came across. The guy was using his phone looked at me and kept ignoring me. Then some elderly person came out without wearing a mask and without washing his hands he handed in my order.

If you like your pizza thin well done, dont order from here because they clearly dont understand and you will be disappointed, even if you clearly tell them when you order they will still send you regular thickness.

December 21, 2020

so unprofessional!!! I was told to call for delivery time and who ever answered the phone was so rude! He non stop yelled at me saying he isnt a hotline and not to call him. I tried to ask for the delivery time and the guy just continued to scream at me.. And then hung up on me... When the delivery driver came i told him about the guy on the phone and he was also rude and he told me to call the restaurant to order next time, instead of helping me with the issue... would never order delivery from them again Edit: to top it off we all ended up with food poisoning from them!

Standard pizza take out. However they went out of their way to prepare my slice with added condiment as requested

December 21, 2020

Horrible experience, first off they put on the counter a old guy who doesn t speak English or understand me. He gave me a wrong pizza, when I ordered a pizza off the menu, and he didn t even know the menu. He even asked me to come over the counter and check if the pizza I wanted was correct. I had to show him the pizza off the website, and how the pizza should be done. Then he started to give me attitude. He put the actual pizza on the counter and rolled his eyes, and went back to his work. His customer service is a big fat zero. The pizza was good but the crust was a little hard than the usual.

Ordered a bruschetta from this locationas that is the only thing from Pizza Nova I like. I get an overcooked Bruschetta with TONS of cheese (i wish I took a picture). Took it back and told the guy this is not a bruschetta, it was a cheese pizza with tomatoes. He told me this is how they make it and argues this is a bruschetta pizza. He called the chef and they mentioned they make it like this due to COVID19 regulations requiring it to be cooked. Since neither of them had any idea of what a bruschetta was, I took my refund. 1 extra star for atleast giving my refund and being somewhat nice. But seriously Nova, this is twice now where a location messes up a bruschetta.consecutively.

The staff are simply adorable. They always seem to work together to make sure your order is correct. The last time I ordered a pizza from there, they mixed my order up & it ended up being more expensive than what I wanted. The lady felt bad and told me not to pay for their mixup. She was polite, although I felt bad for not paying up.
