Drove from Hamilton to come try this place while the sauce and crust were good the cheese was of very low quality (very chewy and hard) just made the pizza not great. The toppings were also lacking, they were only on some slices which was disappointing.

Best #1 Pizza in East York since 1964 and was in the media. Been there and now I m know why Paula Fletcher City of Toronto was there. Cash Only! Never Closed it's Doors Since 1964 Keep up the good work! Highly Recommend

Delicious pizza! I love that you can grab a quick slice if you're just passing by, but taking home a full pie for dinner is always a good idea. It always makes me smile to pass by and see them stretching the dough in the window!

Probably the best pizza in the city, this little shop has been operating for decades. The current family who run it have pizza making down to a science and are some of the nicest and most friendly people around. You can tell that they love what they do and that is reflected in every pie they serve. Sauce has the perfect tang, their cheese is prepared fresh and with their own style giving it the perfect melt and stretch, and the dough is soft with the exact bite you want. Bring cash and order lots... you won't be disappointed!

Danforth Pizza House is a charming, family-owned restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The owner’s sons, who run the place, are very friendly and make you feel right at home. I tried their special, and while the pizza was fresh and well-made, I found it a bit lacking in flavor. The sauce and dough could use a bit more seasoning or salt to bring out the flavors. That being said, it’s still a great spot for a casual meal. Keep in mind, they only accept cash, so be sure to come prepared!💵

My wife and I were in the area after getting off at the TTC Subway Station Donlands and came across the really eye-catching Pizza Joint. The sign stood out and grabbed our attention as soon as we were walking along Danforth, so we decided to get a pizza and let me say….. This is how a pizza should be done. We walked in and found an extremely clean place. You could tell that the people that work and own this place take pride in how they present themselves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We ordered a 12” pizza with Pepperoni, Sliced Tomatoes, Double Smoked Ham and Green Peppers. The pizza was cooked perfectly and the crust was airy and light, so tasty. The pizza sauce they used was full of flavor which is where some pizza places drop the ball. The toppings were very fresh and of great quality, especially the cheese. A bonus that was available was a few outdoor tables, where you could sit and enjoy your pizza. The only negative we had was, this place only does cash (at the time we were there), so make sure to bring some along with you. This was a great experience and we will definitely be back for great food like this. If you live in the Danforth and Donlands area, you are very lucky people. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed you did.

GREAT pizza, one of THE very best in the city, despite often being ignored in the rush to embrace new, trendy places in hipster zones. Extra cheese, well done, old school impressive 'neighbourhood style' pizza that is absolutely Top Notch!! Was great in the past, and still is!

Pre-ordered online on their website for weekday opening (1pm). Pretty solid pizza, we got The House Special with pepperoni and bacon, which was tasty. I most liked the ratio of dough to sauce to cheese. Definitely better than other pizza chains on the Danforth. Pickup is cash only! Prices weren’t crazy and standard to pizza chains nowadays

The cash only policy is a bummer. But what is a bigger bummer is that they close so early on non-weekends. Even just an extra 15 mins would be great, as 8pm is a touch early. Food is great and staff are super friendly. I would def go more often if it was opened a touch later and offered cashless options.

The issue might of been because we went around 5pm...the food seemed ok, could of had a little more food, my 8yr old had the burger, fries and drink there and he even said it was small. The fries could of been a little better and too, it was the size of a small fries at McDonalds. The burger was good, just small. Service was OK, seemed like everyone was tired and tried their best. Just one other person was there eating and he looked unimpressed too. The burger, fries and drink was around $20 and small portions.

Expensive pizza and it doesnt taste any better than pizzerias that are considerably cheaper (my kids who are pizza snobs dont want to go back). I bought pizza from here recently and five years ago. Back then we bought four or five pizzas for a birthday party and they were over done/burnt (which is why we never went back for five years). This time at least the pizza wasnt burnt but it also wasnt worth the premium. They also only take cash and their receipt didnt even show an HST number, business name or number, tax amount, total or subtotal. Nothing that youd expect to find on a regular receipt.

Whenever Im in the east end and feel like a proper pizza this is my go to spot. The pizza is amazing and the toppings are all high quality and fresh! The owners are also as sweet as you can imagine and care for their new or returning customers. If you like a little bit of heat and sweet, Id recommend the angry bee and make sure you get the roasted garlic dipping sauce! You can actually taste that roasted garlic flavor and its a game changer.

Not my favourite pizza, I find the crust reminiscent of stale thick white bread. The pizza kind of reminds me of how pizza pizza used to be way back in the day, very old school style pizza. Many people like it though so may just be me but I found it not very fresh or tasty. 2.5 stars

Incredibly friendly staff and delicious pizza. A true gem of the neighbourhood. Ive been meaning to try their pizza as it is very popular in the community pages/groups. We (2) ordered the 16 Angry Bee and took half of it home. Highly recommended. Such a great mix of sweet and spicy. Theyre cash only with an ATM on-site. I was waiting for a friend, outside, for about 10 minutes before going in. It was constant steady traffic for folks picking up pizza orders. I even often heard people walking by, cutting off their conversation to say how great it smelled in there. I completely agree. I love the countertop set up at the storefront window so that passersby can watch the pizzas getting made. Since COVID they pivoted and no longer have much dine-in seating. There are a few stools by a bar table against a wall with a beautiful assortment of Danforth Pizza House memorabilia. My favourite were a set of business cards from the establishment over the years. We were told that they had been brought in by customers who, for example, found them in their parents homes from way back when. It was so wholesome to be shared this story. Theyve also got a nice selection of fizzy beverages that just go perfect with a slice of pizza. Looking forward to coming here again!

Owner and his wife are very pleasant people. We ordered the Butcher pizza with extra cheese. Lets just say we ate it all and my husband and I didnt talk much! It was that good. I would say the only star I would take off would be for price. We spent $35 for a medium pizza, lol. I dont know maybe Ive had too many pizza pizzas, but thought it was more expensive the 1 $ Ill be back someday.

OMG. Literally the BEST TASTING Pizza in Toronto. I ve lived here for 13 years now, Why am I just learning about this place?! I m a HUGE FOODIE and I love flavour and when I walked in, the ingredients were displayed with freshness and I just KNEW I had to have some. Although I did not have cash, the Marsales grocery store next door does cash back so I went over and I am so glad I did. The pizza didn t make it home. I ate half on the subway ride home. The woman inside said I m going to love it because it s made with so much LOVE and she was right. Thank you guys for being around Try this place, you won t be disappointed.

Family owned & run pizza place. The food is delicious & the service is amazingly warm. We walked in and found out they currently only do Take-out, and depending on what you order, it can take about 30mins. Food is always fresh & you can sit and watch them (Nonna, Mama, & papa) make all the pies. They currently only accept cash payments, but there is an ATM available if needed. While they do cost a bit more than a fast-food pizza place; you will notice the higher quality of food and service.

With over fifty years in operation, you know they have to be good. Their dough is handmade and especially good. I also think that they use very high quality cheeses and very fresh toppings. I have tried many of their varieties and, frankly, like them all. Staff is very friendly and the eat in area is plain and functional. Nothing better that eating in a pizzeria with the aroma and noise of a busy joint. We only eat in or take out. Tried the Uber delivery twice and it sucked both times. Never again. Great food, great atmosphere and i genuine product. Highly recommend.

I ve been getting pizza here since the 90s when Angelo was the owner. Same pies except stingy on cheese now, get extra cheese. Solid 4.5. My photo was taken after we ate two slices in the car on way home . Just can t resist. Medium house special (pep, onions, green pepper, mushrooms & bacon) with extra cheese $33 (cash only). Excellent old school pizza, consistent with pies all the time. Get well done. I still cook it a bit in a 425° oven for 7 minutes. But that s personal choice. Cheaper for pickup then delivery.

We love pizza in this household. Its something almost sacred to us. And this is a *proper* pie. Their homemade sauce is perfect. Tangy, flavourful, but not too sweet or salty. We got the House Special. Fresh toppings. Excellent pepperoni. Wonderful crust (on the thin side with a nice crisp outer). Theyve got great veggie options, and some really creative pizzas on the menu as well (looking at you, Angry Bee) This was our first time ordering from there, and it certainly wont be out last.

Classic old school pizza, they way it should be. I feel old saying this but back in the day most pizza joints were family run affairs without a corporate headquarters selling them commercially made ingredients and telling how to make pizzas . Danforth Pizza House is a family run business and they use homemade ingredients. It is that simple. If you want a pizza cheap and fast, don t go there. If you want real food, you know where to go.

The Pizza overall was O.K. ... it was sparsely topped, the tomato sauce was nothing special and the dough was a bit sweet. Then when we saw the prices and it was over... a pizza margarita for $25.

Very good pizza. Excellent. (If you like this style of pizza of course). Think: moreso like bakery style pizza in terms of taste, just elevated. Medium/traditional crust size. Nicely cooked with good crisp and undercarriage (see photo). Price is higher of course then your chain pizza, though not egregious for these days. Cash only for pickup (uber prices are materially higher and would presumably impact your rating/review). It will be a part of my take out/pizza rotation going forward for sure. Friendly/sociable owners on 1st impression.

I ordered online to pick up and when I got there was informed they re cash only. I can understand charging a fee to use credit, but to not take it at all, and not warn you is brutal. We don t carry cash/debit cards (and haven t for years!) so we had to go home and return. I reviewed their website and don t see anything warning of this. Sure is convenient that they have an ATM in house which I m sure they profit off of. The pizza is good, but it s seriously overpriced. Why not have a disclaimer when ordering so people can come prepared? SMH. Edit to add after their response: after searching, the only place this is listed is a drop down menu at checkout. However, it s not a mandatory step in the checkout process so it s very easy to miss. Other reviews have mentioned the same thing. They have a beautiful modern website it wouldn t be difficult to make this more obvious and save new customers an unexpected hassle.

Cash only place FYI. I would recommend supporting this establishment for pizza rather then cheaper big pizza stores. Tastes better, costs a little bit more then compared to chain pizza joints, BUT worth every penny. Can t wait to order again !

I really used to love this place - they had the best and freshest pizza in town, but since they changed owners, it is just not the same. I was disappointed with the pizza quality and it has really gone downhill. I could get better tasting pizza for the same price just down the street. I also tried the garlic knots which were not good either. They were basically breadsticks in a soup of oil.

So delicious! Its not Neapolitan style, so dont compare it to Neapolitan places. Apples and oranges you know? If you want a big delicious pizza freshly made this is the place to go. The cheese is particularly good here. In all of my orders they have never made a mistake, well done

Really amazing pizza. Got the margherita and was blown away. The cheese and the dough was great but the real show stealer was the sauce. Highly recommend

Greatest pizza in the city of Toronto by far. They pile on the toppings and dont cheap out at all. Pizza weights a ton and the taste is out of this world. Its Pizza like you remember it when you were a kid. Family run business that always welcomes you with a smile.

Im new to the area and was looking for my new go-to pizza spot and I think I may have found it! Ive now had two pies from Danforth Pizza House (The Pizza Queen & The Angry Bee) and both were delicious. The Angry Bee was especially delicious 10/10. The crust, sauce, and toppings all tasted like high quality ingredients and theyre generous with their toppings. I found a slice from a 14 pie to be quite filling. The thickness is also perfect for me, you can pick it up and eat it with ease but it isnt too thick for a traditional style pizza. Their pizza is more expensive than your typical fast food pizza places but its worth it given the higher quality. Overall, I think the price is a fair value. The folks who work (and own?) the place were very friendly and Im happy to support this local small business. I highly recommend!

Love this place. Great pizza. At least once a week theres a guy who orders a pizza, walks out the door and then tucks it up under his arm like its a newspaper. For sure everything slides off the pizza inside the box. That really has nothing to do with Danforth pizza House but its just so weird and seems like it should be some sort of crime to ruin such a great pizza like.

Its a 3.5 Star place but Yeah. The pizza is Good. Nice topping distribution. Good amount of Cheese, nice crunch on the Crust. However the sauce is bland, the sausage on the pizza needs seasoning and flavour. Also docked a point for being cash only for walkins during a pandemic.

Great pizza - unique toppings, traditional crust, perfect for a little oil on the end, and the right amount of sauce (just enough to taste it). Friendly people! This is one of few places that I get the curated pizza experience instead of getting my own usual topping choices. The Angry Bee is a work of art, and the House Special is a crowd pleaser. Well worth the wait & price.

Our go-to pizza place, where they make old school pizzas with a twist. We usually get a custom pizza. The crust is crispy without being oily and firmer than your average Neopolatan style pizza. Toppings are fresh. Tip: if you can, order for pick up as their prices are WAY cheaper by going direct, and they are cash only.

Eat this Pizza Seriously. It is in the top 5 pizza places in Toronto and up there with Descendent Detroit pizza. Totally different style. Crispy airy crust and the home made sauce has the perfect zang to it. The topping offerings on their signature pies compliment each other extremely well. The Angry Bee was a taste game changer. If you are tired of Pizza Pizza and Dominoes, start by stepping up your pizza game here. You will not be disappointed.
