Abruzzo Pizza in Richmond Hill

Excellent food and friendly staff

Noticed a positive change as of late , my last panzo was great, service has gotten better. Keep it up !!! Daniel is a true gentleman!!! I wish I could give him a raise.

Very food special pizza

Ordering is easy. Service is great, organized and on time. Menu looks lenghty with varied items. Tons of people waiting for their orders inside on a Saturday evening so theyre liking something here. The pepperoni pizza I got was a mixed bag. The crust is on the thinner side, very light colour underneath (no golden, brown or dark spots) and so a little bit underbaked. Theres some minimal crunch to it but it completely flops down as you hold it, which I dislike. It had a nice texture and satisfying chew to it though. The cheese and toppings dont get pulled away easily from the crust as youre eating the slice, which is also good. The sauce was average at best, which is surprising for an Italian place. Its still much better than the hideous sweet sauce you encounter at Dominos and the like but I prefer the more assertive and acidic sauce you get in places like Pizza Nova. Pepperoni had a good meaty slightly smoky taste to it. Overall, a pretty average, inoffensive and unremarkable pizza.

Theres no seat in

Parking: I have never dined in. We have been going here since we moved to the area in early 80s. They started with a small takeout only location. Part of Richmond Hill history. Kid-friendliness: Efficient and friendly service

Abruzzo is purely take out and delivery now. So atmosphere is what it is. But theyre efficient, friendly, and the food is excellent.

Forget all the other pizza places. Go here. especially if you are looking for an amazing panzo. Amazing. I dont even live anywhere near this place but any chance we can we go in for a pizza and if Im alone I always get my panzo here.

Excellent, consistent food. Never had a bad meal. Been going there for the past 30 years

Nice lunch spot by our workplace

Our go to place for pizza and pasta! We recently ordered catering for a birthday party - everything from the initial calls, to the packaging to the food was top notch. The rose sauce and meat sauce were a hit with everyone and the party pizzas were devoured. Ive never had a bad experience with Abruzzos from the pizza days at school to random cravings.

Ordered a fried panzo with sauce on the side. It was good, but definitely not worth $20!! WT? It is outrageously overly priced. You want to support locally owned restaurants but they make it so difficult by gouging the everyday middle class. Probably will not go back for ponzo, maybe try a slice another time. Their desserts are also overly priced, and they are not homemade which I thought was the case, and VERY SMALL portion for price. Their sauce is good, but the over inflated prices are huge drawback for me personally. I don t like being ripped off.

Undefeated champion of panzos.

A GTA staple! Must try. My recommendation is a pizza with: sopressata, garlic, red onion, bacon, mushroom, lite cheese. It is the best EVER!

We had Abruzzo cater our thanksgiving dinner last week. We ordered 2 small trays of pasta, 1 small tray of the roasted vegetables, 1 small tray of the roasted potatoes and 4 loaves of garlic bread for 9 people. Everyone loved the food and there have been leftovers all week. I highly recommend this place. What we paid for catering this event was well worth it.

The pizza here is amazing. The gnocchi should be a little bit chewier. And stay away from the Alfredo sauce there is zero flavour to it. if I only tried the pizza, I would ve given it a five star

Definitely order their pizza

Amazing pizza.. not a chain store its an awesome family take out place. Highly recommended for really good pizza and canzone.

Simply the best pizza I ve had. Thin crust, fully loaded toppings. So good!

Highly recommend the Abruzzo Special!

AbruzziThe friendly service and cozy atmosphere make it a must-visit for pizza lovers.

The pizza is amazing! I really like it and this is my best go-to spot for pizza

Best pizza in York Region! This place has been here since before I was born. Great pizza and friendly staff. You can even just buy their dough if you want

We love their salads, pastas (especially lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs). Their tomato sauces are the best I have tried. Our family likes their pizzas and panzzos as well. The fact that this is a family owned restaurant and not a chain really appeals to me.

Only take out. Opens in the afternoon. Best Pizza in Richmond Hill!

Delivery- I remember taking our kids there when our son was 4 and our daughter was 8 (15 years ago) and my son wanted to have. plate of pasta. I was worried because even at the age of 4 he knew what sauce should taste like. He told our waiter that he wanted to have pasta but he wanted to taste the sugo first. The waiter returns with a little bowl and spoon. After giving his approval with a thumbs up, the waiter returned with plate of pasta. Tonight my husband and I decided that we were going to have panzarotte. To be honest we were only thinking of restaurants near us. He then suggested ordering from Abruzzo. All I have to say is that this was one of THE BEST (outside of Italy) that we have ever hand. Believe me .two people could share one and still feel full. Our dinner plates were not large enough to place it on! Abruzzo ..we are back and it was worth waiting for the deliver. I would have given 20 stars if I could. YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE!

I ve been going here for over 30 years sadly the service is extremely poor now. After confirming my order and the order taker confirmed with the kitchen my order was wrong when I got home. Management who was arrogant and apologized gave me a credit of $2.00 towards my next purchase. So in their eyes it was okay to charge me full price for the wrong order. I even suggested having a driver bring me the correct order I was told I would have to wait a long time instead of correcting their mistake right away, great customer service. WOW I wonder if that s acceptable to them if they made a purchase and received something they didn t purchase. I wonder what Sergio would say he never treated his customers this way. Things have changed for the worst not sure I ll be back.

They were fast and friendly and the pizza was great too!

Moldy cheese, very upset with this

Abruzzo has been around for a long time. Their food has always been great. Staff is always friendly!! Parking: Right in front of restaurant

Pizza and Service on point! 5 stars All Day

Really nice workers and great atmosphere!! This is a great takeout spot. A few downsides some of their food like the garlic bread and the Caesar salad is a bit dry and they do not offer seating inside. But overall, this is a great place to stop by at with your family!!

Best Panzerotti in York region by far!

Amazing food(strongly recommend the fried panzeroto), amazing people/service, and amazing atmosphere. Will be back for sure!!

i always love this place because fabio, sergio, vince, nikita and christian they are always friendly to me and my uncle after a performance of opera because we always go there when i am craving for pizza i miss you guys - your wonderful and amazing abruzzo pizza fan pete

Great pizza but their new rule to have $50 minimum delivery plus $10 delivery fee for an extended distance from the shop is insane. Very upsetting and quite honestly disturbing.

Great service, fantastic pizza.

Everyone told me I need to try this pizza. I did, and I don t see why I had to try it. I will say though it was 5 star service, fast, friendly, and affordable.

Fantastic pizza. Extremely fresh taste. Even down to the sauce and crust it was delicious. My only regret was not ordering more pizza.

The best pizza and especially panzerotti hands down

Quite possibly the best Panzerotto you will ever eat. Hopefully they will be opening the dining room again one of these days.

Good pizza, good service, need room to eat somewhere

For 30 years, I been enjoy one best pizza in York region

Owners and staff are always super friendly and of course the pizza is always top notch!!

Best panzo

I have been coming here since I was a kid. This is a family owned business. They really make you feel at home. I have tried a number of their dishes, but far hands down the best Panzo s around and also their chicken parm sandwiches are fully loaded and the best!! I ll drive from the city for one. Definitely highly recommend

Literally the best Pizza in RH, and also the best fries (and Ive had them all). Just call and place a delivery/pickup dont try to use some app on your phone.

Probably one of the best authentic pizza places in Richmond Hill and York region

Its been renovated since I was last there looks great now and the pizza still has its quality 6 out of 5 from me when ever Im in the area I still come here. I havent found better pizza yet and Ive been searching. Its very authentic and hommy in here they are definitely doing something right I will be back

Great food , service and well priced. Staff are always friendly and professional.

Went to go have lunch here as it was recommended to me. Are you figgin kidding me. $18 for a Panzerotto with just sauce and cheese?!?!? The white pizza is just a dough with oil and seasoning for $14?!?!? 50 cents worth of dough. The price of this place is outrageous. Their Nonnas would be ashamed. The food may look good and the staff is probably nice but not worth the cost. Another place taking advantage because the sheep pay it. I walked out.

Dining room was closed but take out open. Everyone at counter very helpful and friendly - warm and welcoming will go again. Prices are comparable to similar restaurants

So, I have ordered from Abruzzo for many years although living in Maple which, is a bit of a distance from the restaurant. My last two times trying to order, Ive experienced the plague of increased charges specifically, an $8 delivery charge which was never in play in the past plus, a $50 minimum order for Keele Street and Major Mack area! So, for 2 lb of their great wings and a large Greek salad with extra feta on the side I am now having to pay $62 plus tip! I am so disappointed that Abruzzo has latched onto the gouge the customer ideology of the Uber, Skip and Door Dash platform for getting their product out to the customers. This is getting totally out of hand! I placed my last order with abruzzo!

I cant get enough of Abruzzo Pizza, especially their margarita. The crust is always perfect just the right thickness and cooked beautifully every time. The ingredients are top-notch, making even their deluxe and pepperoni pizzas stand out. The staff is consistently friendly, and even though Ive moved away, I will still drive back just for their pizza.

Excellent house salad and the best pizza north of hwy401

Get the fried panzerotti. Pizza was amazing as well.

Finally got to try this. I live down the road but every time I drive by it s closed guess I drive by at the wrong times! after my wife has kept mentioning it for 12 years as the pizza she grew up on. I loved it. We got delivery (probably tastes even better dining in at their tables) pizza was great, wings were great. Love the wing sauce too

If you havent stumbled upon Abruzzo Pizzeria yet, youre in for a treat. This place is like the best kept secret. Ive been coming here for over 15 years, and its never let me down. Seriously, their pizza is great, but if you want to go for the gold, youve got to try their deep-fried panzarotti with meat sauce for dipping. Its a game changer. Their special salad is the perfect mix of fresh and zesty, along with the meats in it making it the ultimate side kick. And for all you pasta lovers, the carbonara will knock your socks off, and the homemade gnocchi? Chefs kiss. Its like little pillows of heaven.But what really makes Abruzzo stand out is the crew. Theyre amazing. Always smiling, always ready to make your meal unforgettable. It feels more like hanging out at a friends place than a restaurant.So, if youre on the hunt for some top-notch Italian food, give Abruzzo a shot. Trust me, you wont regret it. This place is all about great food, great vibes, and making everyone feel like family.

Great pizza!! Took a long time though for my order.

Wish they reopened the sit-down restaurant too.

This is our go-to place for thin crust pizza. Take -out or delivery only. We call in for the order and 15-20 minutes later we are bringing home the pizza.

Taste like cardboard. It used to be my favorite pizza. But now it taste like pizza pizza especially the sauce it taste like pizza pizza but worse. Everything about the pizza is bad the Cheese, Tomato sauce and the Dough is especially very bad. As a chef I can say please save your money and dont go here as it hit a new low.

The pizza is so fresh.!

These guys never disappoint! The food is fantastic

Had the panzo...just a giant deep fried dough bag full cheese and a little pepperoni. Dripping in oil and soggy AF. Not good at all.

I honestly dont see the hype. This place is also very VERY expensive.

Weve always loved Abruzzo Pizza. The pizza and pasta are amazing! You cant get pizza like this anywhere else, the dough tastes homemade and the topping are high quality. We miss going to the restaurant!!

Best pizza, best service

Very tasty, yummy and delicious food. Great service. Totally recommendable.

My panzerotti is always on par from here never any complaints and rhe house salad was delicious as well.

My go-to place for pizza and wings for 5+ years.

We had an event for 75 people, had Abruzzo cater the food. It was right on time and our party were all very happy with the food provided. Susan Cruickshank, Food

No kidding, hands down one of the best pizza we ever had. 1000% recommended

First time eating at Abruzzo Pizza, and we got their Special pizza. Quite delicious and flavorful. Tasted like an Italian pizza, but also was meaty in a sense that l like in a pizza. The crust was also baked to perfection. The onion rings and the dips were a nice addition to our pizza night.

This place is the best !!!!!!!!

Been going here since I was a kid and it is the best pizza and panzerotto in the city. Highly recommend getting an order of their tomato sauce to dip both in.

The pizza was great only complaint I have is you have to pull a u turn to get to this place

we absolutely love this place! greatest pizza place!

I order pizza regularly from Abruzzos, particularly the specialty party size. Always well made how we want it. This pizza place is a local gem and outshines any other in the community by far. Their pastas, salads and garlic bread are my other go-to when I want some authentic Italian food when Im too tired to cook. I miss the dining room, but Im just glad youre still around. Thanks for making amazing food!

Abruzzo has the best food, large portions and amazing delivery service

Been ordering from here for a couple of years. It used to be good, but not anymore. Way too expensive and nothing special. I ordered a vegetarian pizza and asked for it to be well done...not only was it not well done, it was lacking flavour and sauce and it was soggy and cold.

Pains me to write this review after being a regular here for 15-17 years..... I placed an order for over $90 on a weekend and received the wrong Panzos. Tried contacting them immediately but lines were busy. Reached out the following day and although they apologized for the mistake since I had proof the best I got get offered was $25.... The least they could have done is offer to remake my two Panzos. Such a shame and disappointment to treat loyal customers like this. Better off going to Riccis in Vaughan!!

Theres a reason why this is an institution here in Richmond Hill. It reminds me of pizza Ive had in Italy. The pizzas use ingredients of a higher calibre than most pizza joints. Its not the cheapest place in the city, but you definitely get what you pay for.

The Greek has never and will never send Portnoy here. Never shook Sinatras hand.

Ordered 3 dishes: Fried Panzerotti, chicken wings and spaghetti with meat sauce. Fried Panzerotti is my new favorite, nice crunch, hot and made well. We added pepperoni. Chicken wings, had higher expectations bc I read an article that their wings were great. They were ok, had sauce on the side. Spaghetti and meat sauce, Im a sucker for pasta so I demolished it in 1 sitting. Good portion.

the food was yummy

We tried the pepperoni pizza slices. WOW!! Generous portion, so filling. Their dough is amazing, ingredients are fresh, pizza sauce is perfect, very friendly service. Delicious!! Cant say enough. Highly recommend.

As always excellent, kids & I love it for many years !

Favorite local pizza place. I find their crust to be a nice middle ground between Neapolitan and other typical canadian joints. The garlic sauce is amazing.

The pizza is ok, but not much better than those from a chain store like Dominos. Be careful when you make an order as they count one item on half and another on the other half as TWO items. This is different from what you order from a chain pizza store. Food

The people there are so kind. They always offer the best options. If you want to change something I have been going there for over 20 years. Best food Food

The pizza was bland and dry. Can style sauce, cheese wasn t melty- I had pepperoni. I won t be back and was very disappointed because of the hype of this place , that it did not live up to. They need a tastier dough, a tomato a sauce that actually has some flavour and a good quality mozzarella cheese. I ve had pizza in all cities all over the world, and this was not good at all :( Parking: Difficult to find parking

Amazing in every way. Wish them another 100 years of success!!

Nice.

Great staff, very nice and friendly service , generous portions, food is so delicious , tasty and fresh , love it

Always a hit.

Excellent pizza and salad , my favorite is their lasagna! The best!

The best traditional Italian pizza around period!!

The food is amazing nice Italiano pizza and sandwiches to die for family run amazing food this place is great eating try it youll love it

If you live in Richmond Hill, buy pizza here, that simple. Pizzas are great, phone orders for pickup are convenient, and it blows every chain out of the water while also being cheaper than the new yellow box guys 10min away. Nice staff as well.

Their abruzzo special pizza is amazing. When I moved to Vaughan, I sorely missed Danforth Pizza House. This is on par. Calzones are also great!

We love Abruzzo Pizza! The chicken parm is my favourite, pizza is delicious too. My only complaint is I wished they opened earlier in the day for lunches as it s our go-to when hosting birthday parties (kids or adults).

Great food

Best pizza around, quality ingredients always authentic flavor and great staff

Best pizza weve had in a very long time! (But do ask for the extra sauce, which is more like regular sauce.) I wont lie, this pizza is not cheap, but like most people know- if you want quality, you usually have to pay for it. There isnt much worse than forking out hard-earned money for something, and then being disappointed. With Abruzzo pizza, you wont be let down- it is delicious. If you have a craving for a good pizza, go here. Just remember to stop eating when youre full- theres nothing wrong with saving some for later. Its just so hard to stop eating when the pizza tastes so damn good! (LOL!)

Since the pandemic, the store has been take out only. This is our go to place for panzorottis for many many years. The fried panzos are fried but not greasy and the portion is good for two lighter eaters. The meat sauce on the side is a must

Fantastic pizza

My go to place food is always amazing

We hosted a party for 18 people and we catered from Abruzzo. Not only was the food delicious, delivered on time and the food was hot. All our guests loved everything! Vegetarian options: We ordered vegetarian pizza and eggplant parmigiana. Both were a big hit!

Pretty good pizza, a little on the expensive side

The fried panzerotti is absolutely phenomenal!! Definitely worth the hype. The dough is so tasty that I could have it all on its own!

My favourite pizza restaurant! We go occasionally when visiting relatives in the area as we live downtown, which is too far for them to deliver. The Abruzzo Special pizza is amazing! We usually get thin crust, but their regular crust is not too thick either. Delicious! They are also good about making half the pizza one way, and the other half different - great for sharing a pizza with the kids! We have also tried their Caesar salad and chef salad, both very good. Highly recommend!

Over priced and bad quality . The dough was over-proofed so a very flat pizza , bottom was raw and hardly any cheese ..

Great sandwiches, pizza, and pasta! This place is amazing! I love this restaurant.

Foods great, but no dine in available. No brotherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Tried abruzzo pizza for the first time and absolutely loved it. It will definitely be my go to place for pizza. Vegetarian options: Lovely veggie options

Great pizza, we ordered a medium Abruzzo special, which was excellent & a tasty Greek salad.

My husband and I love this place. We drive from Barrie to take food home. I love their gnocchi and eggplant parm. Order 2 eggplant so I can freeze one. My husband loves their sandwiches. Pizza is also very good. Too bad the restaurant hasnt opened yet.

We have been ordering take out from them since 2000. Food is always fantastic, fresh, and so tasty! Staff are very helpful. We have had delivery, take out, and have eaten in the restaurant. Always a pleasure to eat there. Very consistent, too.

The large pizza with thin dough is very delicious! Despite many visitors, the pizza was made in 20 mins and was eaten by two hungry humans in the next 20 mins. Thank you for the quality and service! Waiting for the opening of dine-in!

Decent ok food and good quality gone downhill little bit and totally not worth the ridiculous overprice! $100 for 4 chick parm sandwich and a small pizza. They were always pricey now its a major ripoff with over inflation pricing. Give me a break and they have the nerve not to apply $5 coupon cause we didnt have it on hand yet such a long time customer for years. Theres much better options out there for much less. Very turned.

People at the front super friendly and nice to talk to, the pizza bangs too

I first started to buy food at Abruzzo in 1982...was Excellent food then and still is now! Staff has always been top notch and friendly! Everything on the menu is fantastic

Put simply - Best Pizza in Richmond Hill! The food & service is always excellent - highly recommended!

Ive been eating here for fifteen years, and I wont stop anytime soon. My favorite dish is chicken, Marcella

The people who work there are all amazing and I have nothing negative to say about any of them. All the staff are courteous and friendly. However, the quality of their pizza disappointed me. Primarily, its the dough that was of low quality and very stiff as opposed to the soft and chewy dough at Pizzeria Badiali, The Good Son, Annette Food Market, or Gusto 101. Thinly sliced mushrooms were uncooked. Tomato paste seemed to be of the cheapest quality possible. Overall, a negative experience Im sorry, Abruzzo, but I wont be ordering again from you.

I hate leaving reviews that aren t positive but it needs to be said that the food wasn t great. My girlfriend got a large Abruzzo pizza and a panzerotti. The dough wasn t great, it was quite chewy. I feel like the ingredients weren t premium, and from gauging the reviews, I expected a lot more. I love to support small business but due to the abundance of places that offer pizza, I feel like this place really needs to put more effort in providing quality food. Comparative to outside of my neighbourhood, pizza can be made at a way higher quality level. It was pretty disappointing and I probably won t be back for more. I never went inside and have no negative review for service, just the food quality was mid.

Amazing panzerottis here! I had it cold and it was still so good. Definitely worth it

Best pizza place ever keep it going on Sergio and Vince!

Been a long time customer and cant see myself ever turning on this place. The service and food have always been top notch

Always the best panz in the gta.

There is a reason that after so many years this place is still so busy! Delicious pizza. I came back after a few years and its as delicious as I remember it. Happy that this place is still around and hope it will be around for many years so come. Parking: Parking is available in the little plaza where the restaurant is located but be warned it does get full quick but thankfully it moves fast as its strictly pick ups

my cousin and i went to get a chicken parmigiana sandwich and it was amazing!!! super filling and good portion sizes. def will come back here again:) updated** i tried the fried panzerotti after hearing so many great reviews and it was 11/10 delicious!!! i usually go for baked panzo at other italian restaurants as i noticed it tends to make the dough too crispy and dry but this was amazing. it wasn t too greasy but greasy enough to enjoy. the cheesy was stringy and it s HUGE for only $12!!!!

Never a doubt!

Good pizza with good service. One of the top pizza places in Richmond hill.

Amazing institution In RH, lots of good food and good memories

Delivery Man took 2 hours to deliver my order. Ive been a client for 30 years. They offered no compensation. VFC! Dietary restrictions: Horrible Customer Service

Best fried pizza

Girls at the front define customer service You guys better give em a raise before someone steals them away. Wonderful staff Food

This is the best pizza! Not to say there isnt better pizza in the GTA or elsewhere, but it is literally the best pizza I have ever had. I strongly recommend it. After becoming a regular customer of Abruzzos, I cant enjoy pizza from any of my regular haunts. I used to enjoy Pizza Nova, but now it tastes so bland and disappointing.

I heard this place is good but I didnt realize how bomb it is until I tried it.

truly the best pizza, pasta, and salads in Richmond Hill. our family has been eating here for over 20 years and the quality continues to be incredible. some favourites: meat sauce lasagna, caesar salad, abruzzo s special salad, and any type of pizza.

Best pizza ever.

Food is good but their prices got bigger and the portion sizes got smaller.

My favourite pizza place of all time has now hit all time lows in quality, so much so it can no longer be even on the list of acceptable options. What a pity such a great pizza institution as fallen so far from greatness.

Rubber shoe for 40$. Absolute trash.

I have always been very impressed with their eggplant Parmesan , so I ordered it tonight and was very disappointed that it was very dry hardly any tomatoe sauce and breading was all crumbly . I did not feel like it was fresh and wasn t sure if this is how they do there delivery service . Also they charged me for delivery and then expected a tip on top if all this . Very bad experience altogether . Usually I did pick up on this item

Amazing food, try the calamary.

Good quality pizza but nothing amazing! Staff are overwhelmed and management is non existent. They gave our order away to someone else after 23 mins wait and then they asked us to take the same pizza when forced the guy to return it. Food : 3/5

The service is very good. The staff is very kind. Food can be better. I like this place and I hope they get back to their previous better quality. I recommend it Food

Ordered veggie pizza. No sauce at all, very dry and bland.

Fried panzerotti

The calamari is incredible. The pizza and the pasta are something that you can t refuse.

Havent had abruzzo in probably 10 years and almost forgot how amazing they are. Glad I had it again since i was in the area. Definitely up there making my top 3 favorite pizza joints. Finest quality fresh ingredients and the super airy baked crust and homemade meat sauce is what makes them truly unique. No wonder theyve been around for decades with such high reviews. Strongly suggest you try if you want authentic old fashioned Italian pizza.

Best Pizza and Greek Salad combos ever!
