The cleanliness of this establishment is remarkable. The owner is hard working, friendly, always smiling, and happy to see everyone. The service from all staff is always speedy both bringing drinks and clearing up empties and such. It’s a fun place to be. Cold drinks, great people, clean, good vibes all around.

The food was so delicious but just a little undercooked I loved the pizza and the burgers service was excellent 👌 and the environment is perfect for inviting your friends and family over for dinner.

Golden Pizza was my favourite place to go for the longest time. I always took my son there to celebrate his birthday and we always had our special table. I had not been there in about 3 years now due to the covid. I knew the business was sold. It was ran by Greek people for many years and the food was excellent. I recently returned there on sunday the 3rd of April 2022 and was very disappointed. There are only two items that are served which are burgers and french fries-no pizza, no salads etc. The waitress explained that they did not have any cooks. The burgers were not homemade and the food was served on paper plates. It has turned into a local bar. I shall not be returning to Golden Pizza and I was very disappointed. Very sad to see a great restaurant turned to local watering bar.

This is the place for pizza. I haven't been here in years, and miss it. I don't live nearby any longer and I eat only WFPB now, but, would come back if I could. The pizza is incredible! They load on the fresh toppings along with the perfect amount of mozzarella cheese. I used to live a 5 minute walk to Golden Pizza, and this was the place that my family and I would go to for birthday celebrations many, many years ago. The fact that it's still around speaks volumes. I miss the owners, their son and that incredible pizza.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. This place is like Cheer's, cause everyone knows your name. Just ignore the white cranky lady in the corner. The staff will make you laugh and the owner, Gina will make you feel at home.

Ordered a combo with Greek salad, a large 2 topping pizza and a pound of chicken wings. Got my money back because I wasn’t satisfied.

March 22, 2018

I'm so f'n pissed I even spent money on this. Chicken souvlaki is 80% overboiled potato ft. mushy carrot for no reason. 15% overcooked salty rice 5% dry salty chicken. Steak on a Kaiser tastes like farts and the fries are so mushy. The only thing edible is the salad but I'm probably just gonna chuck the whole thing. Never again.☠ Update: my roomate says the "steak" squeaked when he chewed it. It would have been funny if I didn't pay for it.

GRATE PRICES AND PORTIONS. IMPECCABLE QUALITY OF FOODS DEPENDING ON WHO'S COOKING. I'VE BEEN HERE 2 OTHER TIMES AND WHEN THE OLDER MAN WAS HERE THE FOOD WAS WONDERFUL. I WENT ANOTHER TIME AND I GOT REHEATED FOOD FROM THE MICROWAVE AND A LACK LUSTER RESPONSE AND SERVICE. FROM OBSERVATION ANY FOOD THAT'S TYPICAL BAR FOOD WILL USUALLY BE ON POINT HOWEVER IF IT'S ANYTHING THAT MAY TAKE SOME SKILL LIKE RICE OR ROASTED VEG THEN BE PREPARED TO BE POSSIBLY DISAPPOINTED.

Disgusting bar and the owner is a hater, just because they only take cash and I only had credit card and debit card and I had a quarter left, I asked a friend if they could lend me a quarter and the owner kicked me for that, just because you have a issue with my skin colour, that s not an excuse, the owner is a two faced person never again!!!!!!when you are beautiful ppl like them will be jealous ..envy is a disease!!!!

Ratings low due to the fact food was horrible ever since new management took over its all over ordered food for 3 my mom, my niece and I was to meet up with niece as this was going to be our dinner as we went to visit my mom her grandmother anyways not realizing the salads were placed with a hot side dish omg the salad was disgusting as I never knew they were in the hot side dish bag mind u not only that the tzatziki looked clumpy and dry like cottage cheese and shish kabob was like there was no meat there so was not impressed I lost my appetite and left the rest $40 over what a waste totally not recommended

Ive stopped in more than a few times while strolling Danforth Ave. west of Main St. in the east end. For some reason , I almost always order the same thing. Why? Cause its so dang good!!! Homeburger with cheese and bacon, order of fries (cooked to perfection!) with a side of gravy and a diet Pepsi. And the homemade chicken burgers are equally delicious! Friendly service and incredibly reasonably priced!! Stopped by today (May 30/19) and had their gyros on a pita - so huge and deeelish! Thank you!!

December 22, 2018

The food was cold and took forever (over and hour and a half) to get to us. The onion rings were actually pretty good, nice and crunchy with pretty good flavour. However, the pizza was incredibly bland and it kind of reminded me of those frozen pizzas that you can buy from the grocery store but with way less flavour. Overall, I probably wont be ordering from this place again. TLDR; Delivery took forever, onion rings were good, the pizza was cold and wasnt even as good as cheap frozen grocery store pizza. 2/5 would not recommend.

Good pub... Can play the music a bit loud during the day

December 22, 2018

Don t walk in here laughing or they ll tell you you re too drunk to be served. I actually wanted to grab some food with my husband. The lady behind the bar was very rude and didn t even speak to me before asking me how drunk I was? I m a loud person and I laugh a lot. Apparently she didn t like the fact that another female was walking in I guess. I use to come here a lot when it was under the other owners, but if this is how they treat their customers now I won t be back. Let me give you a tip, maybe have two words with someone before deciding they are too drunk to eat your food. Also, everyone in your restaurant was drunk as hell. Maybe you should have cut off the guy smoking in your front door screaming at his friend. That should have been my first clue to get the hell out, but again, it use to be a nice place with great food. Too bad I couldn t try it again! AND for your info I hadn t been drinking that day, I was tired as I have a small child and my husband and I had the night to ourselves. Thanks for embarrassing us because you hate your job:) Train your staff properly, the young lady with the chunky highlights needs some customer service classes.

I am very confused by the positive reviews. I ordered pizza and wings from this place and could only manage to eat two slices of pizza. The cheese was generous but rubbery and tasteless. The toppings did not taste fresh at all and the wings came with the tips attached. It also took an hour for the delivery on a Tuesday night. Not a fan.

I always order on skip the dishes and the pizza sub is very good. Only problem Ive had is that I ask for light sauce everytime and receive regular amount or even extra sauce such as last time, I couldnt even eat it due to so much sauce. Whoever is taking the orders either isnt looking at the special instructions or they just dont care. Very disappointing because otherwise it would probably be the best pizza sub ive ever had. But the amount of sauce just ruined it for me :(. To your response if you see this. Thank you I really appreciate that. I would like to try your pizza too so maybe I will call on and order a pizza and you can throw in the pizza sub for free, that way you dont totally lose out and I am also satisfied. Thanks again, I will be calling soon.

Ive visited Golden Pizza five times, and they were always great. Its a restaurant that you can easily pass on the Danny. Its nice enough, and you can tell - as you soon as you step inside and give it a chance. Love their pizzas. Will feed the family easily. They layer on quality ingredients, so its good to ask for the extras. Seems like the kitchen does a superb job. They put care into their simple and affordable menu. But its not half-assed like other bars on the same Danforth strip. Overall: a relaxing, very low key little joint. No attitude. Straight up friendly East York crowd. Worth a visit.

Food was not even warm when delivered, took 55 minutes, when told 30-40 minutes. They didnt deliver everything, missed our salads. When called told it would take 45 minutes to send them. I live 10 minutes away and that is walking. They dont sale everything on the menu either, wanted lasagna told they dont have it on menu any more, got new menu and guess what, lasagna is on it. Did not realize that its new owners ,sadly wont be going back or ordering. 85% of delivery was thrown out in trash.

I had been going here since I was a child with my family, the food WAS always amazing had that home made taste and reasonably priced. This location was taken over by new owners and has ruined the food, the people seem very nice and well natured, but the food is not worth it anymore. The salads are soaked in dressing, the olives taste like they come from a can ( I grew up eating this salad and nothing could have replaced it..... till now). The BLT was soggy and the bacon was not cooked properly. In my opinion I just threw 25 bucks down the drain. It may be for others and I hope it is, but I won t be ordering or going from them again. So unfortunate and such a let down.

December 22, 2017

Would leave no stars if I could !Omg the worst pizza Ive ever had in my life ! The staff was rude and the place was filthy , full of drinks and crack heads ! . Ive been going to the broadview location for about a year but I was at my friends tonight and unfortunately they dont deliver this far on the Danforth so we walked into here thinking it was the same owners and omg were we wrong ! Filthy dirty place ! Gross pizza and brutal lasagna ! We left most of the food in the table and walked out . Never stepping foot in here again save your money if you want great pizza order from golden pizza broadview if its too far Drive we did and man the food was amazing as always !
