Welcome to La Famiglia! We're so grateful for your support. Here, we love keeping things simple and delicious. We use the best cheese around and make our dough fresh right here every day. Our sauce? It's all about fresh, whole plum tomatoes and some really great spices. We're all about making sure you get exactly what you want when you dine with us. So, come on over to La'Famiglia, where good food and good times are what we're all about. Can't wait to see you!
We had a large pepperoni pizza with extra toppings… did not realize that each topping was $4 each (which felt pricy). The total was $75 for 1 pizza, 2 dips, 1 Brio. While I love thin crust pizza, the dough tasted of raw flour and cardboard. Was disappointing. Maybe their specialty pizzas are better??
Their melt-in-your-mouth thin crust pizzas are an absolute delight, and the meatballs are a must try. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make the experience even better. Definitely a must-visit for pizza lovers. 🍕
Tried this place for the first time and they make a decent pizza. Nice amount and quality of ingredients. Cheese was plentiful. Sauce was a little underwhelming and the crust was a little blonde, could have used another minute or two of cook time in my eyes. Was hoping the garlic dip was something house made or gourmet, but it was just Heinz. People working for very friendly and service was quick
Best Pizza in Toronto, just tried the italiano slice, the crust was thin, how the pizza is supposed to be, delicious slice, amazing service! Check this place out
It's changed a bit, I used to come here all the time when I worked closer. Food isn't as good as it used to be. Still better than most pizza places though
Fresh pizza! The dough was real goodness and ingredients were fresh and delicious. It's our first time to try this neighbourhood pizza joint and definitely won't be the last. The owners (couple) were so kind and friendly. Always love the vibe when service is excellent!
Delicious pizza from New York to East York! Great neighbourhood pizza, pasta and sandwich restaurant, serving up New York style pizza. The owner first opened up shop in New York, and brought his recipe to East York! The crust is thin and crispy, delicious sauce, cheese and toppings. With 30+ pizza options, plus make your own, there’s certainly something for everyone. Tried a few slices while there, and a meatball sub as well. All fresh, crispy and delicious! Will be returning again!
We have ordered from La Famiglia in several occasions for take out and delivery. We like their Pizza but, we often get Hot Subs and Stuffed Rolls (Calzone, Stromboli, etc.) for mains, and Fried Calamari and Onion Rings for sides. So far, everything has been hot and fresh, nothing fancy, just good food.
I ordered an 18 pepperoni pizza via DoorDash tonight. I did this because DoorDash has all of my information saved, including my payment type. It s just convenient. Upon arriving to pickup the food, I was heckled by the clerk for using DoorDash. He complained to my face and made a point to say that it was worse for the business to do that. If I knew that prior to ordering, I would have just called in my order. Now, instead of that, I ll just choose another pizza place in the future. How about instead of complaining that customers use a service YOU provide, you just disable that service altogether. I work this industry, too, my friend. I ll do things your way if it s better for your business. But honestly what a bad attitude. Would not recommend.
Good
Best pizza in Toronto, great service and delicious food . Order from here Party size pepperoni with extra cheese and calzones
My previous review was 5 stars but I had to edit it. The dough is good and ingredients quality is ok, but dry basil on Margherita is unacceptable. Food
very good customer service and food is also great
Perfect real New York Italian style pizza Friendly family owned Good prices! Food : 5/5
Wow, I had an amazing tasting authentic pizza with fresh ingredients. It does not feel like junk food at all but instead a balanced meal!
Good pizza, fair price, owner is a nice guy come here all the time since I work close by
Pizza and service was amazing 5 star
Really good old fashioned pizza. Amazing little gem. Two different slices for takeaway. Best slizes in east end.
My first time there everyone was pretty nice to And also the food it so so good Food
Wow, what a surprise. One of many similar-looking establishments, but everything is just better here. Quick, friendly service, quality ingredients (delicious cheese blend base), plenty of options. La Famiglia certainly is generous with the toppings! Were fond of the Hawaiian pizza (sorry America), the vegetarian pizza, and the eggplant-based veggie sandwich, which is absolutely sublime. Vegetarian options: Try the veggie sandwich--you wont regret it!
I like their food and service, I ll definitely visit again
Always good. A family favourite for a very long time when they used to be on OConnor
Pizza was perfect. Be careful of the sense of humour of the guy behind the counter. He gave me a heart attack when he told me that the meat-lovers I ordered had anchovies. Was relieved when I realized that he was kidding, and delighted when we ate the pizza. I ll be back.
Best pizza in Toronto and pleasant staff.
We had a cheese slice each - excellent taste and great service! Good price - $5 each
This place fell off hard. Used to be great but like everything else the quality dropped and now it s mid. Underdone pizza is the worst.
Great owners best pizza in the eat end
Better than Nonas!! Hands down, the most delicious authentic tasting Italian food I have had!! The Pizza is an absolute classic, beautifully hand crafted, made with pride and served with love. Dont sleep on the Stromboli - this magical delectable creation will have you cry the tears of Italian Angels!! Dont forget to ask for a aside of the Marinara; get saucy, youll thank me!!!
I thought this restaurant had closed down, But they just moved to the Danforth. By far the best Italian food in Toronto At a great price! I am over the moon that I rediscovered them! 5 stars!!
Delicious, fresh pizza! The pizza was so good. Definitely New York style. Thin, crispy crust. The owners were super kind and friendly. I will definitely be returning!
This place has the best pizza I have ever had in my life. If I could give it more stars I would. I just ate 3 slices excellent!! Highly recommend
The best pizza in East York!
Pizza is so delish! Slices are BIG. Crust is so nice and crispy around the edge. Reminds me of my mom and pop shop pizza store from back home!
Ive made pizza at home for more than 20 years, and this is easily the best in Toronto (next to mine)
Great pizza slices. A bit on the pricey side but you can feel the fresher ingredients and improved taste compared to the chains
Great people! Quality ingredients. I followed them from their O Connor location to Danforth. Highly recommended 5 stars all the way.
Amazing pizza, wings, sandwiches amd pasta. The staff, so sweet and friendly. 100% great experience.
Fast and friendly but the pizza is the star of the show, whether from the range of slices available or even better fresh and expertly prepared from the oven. Pizza with heart and soul. A couple of tables and chairs if you d like to eat in or just can t wait long enough to get home ! Join the famiglia !
Great slice!!
I love the pizza! The cheese and the crust is just amazing! My favourite place for pizzas! Must try!
I dont know what to say....$9.50 for a pepperoni slice and 1 dipping sauce, i tried to tell these people that you can get a medium pizza for that a and a free dipping sauce anywhere else, the fact that they tried to charge almost 4 dollars for 1 dipping sauce..ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS!!! its not even about the money, its about how they know its ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS as well
Not sure why my original review did not post ...so, ill try again..$9+ for a pepperoni slice and 1 dipping sauce ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS, i left and got a small pizza with a free dipping sauce on a walk in down the street....RIPPPPPP OFFFFFF, I can just imagine what they pay the employees, i wouldnt doubt if they paid them with a pepperoni slice and dipping sauce and the end of thier shift...why cant i give 0 stars??????oh ..and to the lady thar works there ..you really need to work on customer service ....smarten up
Best pizzeria in Toronto
I m not sure where the 4.4 rating is coming from, or who. Anything above a 2 rating, you have never left your neighborhood. Pizza is completely bland .. Food
Super good lasagna pizza recommended by the Albanian guy who is super nice and helpful.
Was craving pasta and didnt wanna cook. It wasnt bad but wasnt great. The spaghetti with meatsauce was dry lacked sauce.
Customer service was okay. Do not get the lasagna! The worst lasagna I ve ever had. It was very watery. Felt like i was drinking soup with no flavour, just cheese. Pizza was better.
Best pizza in the city, family business which is why the food is so good
Listen, we know the price of everything has gone up. But $6 for a slice of pizza? Come on. It had minimal toppings on it too!
Incredible pizza! Best in the city in this pizza addicts opinion! Owners are super friendly! Highly recommended!
Wicked pizza
I gave it the one star as I wasnt able to rate it zero stars. I got the Italian, and not at all what I expected. Terrible pizza, not to mention the over priced, over fried chicken tenders. Never ordering here again.
First of all, you only order the pizza here. Everything else is just meh. With that out of the way, the pizza here is fantastic, and actually done in an authentic New York style. Ive gone quite a few times and love it every time.
Best tasting New York Style pizza around. Tried it a few times now and consistently great. Pleasant service.
Their eggplant parm sub is to die for. Asked to eat in the restaurant and the lady who took our order brought the subs to us, which was very sweet. Theyve got Brio and soccer playing on the TV. Everything you could ask for. Im definitely gonna come back to get my sub or pizza fix in the future.
My favourite pizza in toronto. Rosa and Amani cook with so much love and passion. The best old school Italian cold cut sub. Don t forget to add banana peppers. Yum .
Seriously delicious Canadian pizza. Family favourite.
Amazing Italian pizza
straight banger
I love love love their pizza. It was surprising given I usually need to be a bit outside this area for food that matches my preferences, but they do a good job.
Sent me the wrong pizza, then refused to rectify the situation. Avoid at all costs, better pizza elsewhere.
Great Place. Awesome food
The most adorable people and the best pizza slices in Toronto!
So tasty!
Best pizza in Toronto, never had anything close to the quality of food they serve here. 10/10
The best pizza!!!
Good pasta!
A loaded pizza for one hungry boy. Each bite is filled with meat, cheese and a nice thickness on the crust, certainly a salty, heavy pizza to reward yourself. Follow @bredgyeats for more food posts!
Truly the best pizza and nothing else like it in the city! The owners are also awesome people. Would highly recommend if your in the area looking to grab a quick slice or if you want to order deliver to impress some guests. Check it out if you have not!
Best NY style pizza in the city.
Just moved to the area and it was my first time going. I just wanted a quick slice and it was great. Will definitely be going back! Parking: Ample free street parking right outside.
We were passing by and decided to get some food. I ordered a hot chicken Panini and it was very good. The space and staff was very friendly. We would definitely return there. The price is reasonable. Food
Very confused by the 4 and 5 star reviews; I am guessing many of the reviewers havent had a mom n pop NY pie in NYC. If you lower your prices, make a more airy dough, put less mozza on the pie (and get a better quality mozza), and make your sauce thicker you will have a great NY style mom n pop pizza shop here. I do wish you success, hence the suggestions! I look forward to trying again if youre able to make these changes.
Not worth it. I got an XL Italian pizza. Sauce just didnt have great flavor, toppings were meh. Only thing the crust was decent. Id give the crust maybe a 7 out of 10. But for an XL pizza like this for 40 dollars, that is a big rip off. The pizza is maybe worth 20ish, nothing more than 25 for an XL. Very disappointing as i was looking forward to this place, and judging from the price, was thinking it would be way better. Big shame. Would not recommend.
Lovely staff,great pizza.
The Pizza Logs (gigantico) are delicious-they sell out fast though
So glad to have reunited with Aturo and Rose. Would always pick up meals for the Fam at their other location and blessed to have found them again. Just picked up a bunch of veal and chicken Parma HOT sandwiches and they don t skip a beat perfection will be presenting for the office soon.
I read the negative reviews. I recommend the hot slices. I gave this place 5 stars because East York was really in need of a place like this. The Hot Slices are delicious. I may try a sandwich next time. The Staff are very nice and friendly. A breath of fresh air. The place is very clean. Thank you La Famiglia for a very good experience.
This is the best pizza Ive had in town. Its straight out of NYC. Love it.
Staff/owners are very friendly, the food is delicious and reminds me of NYC slices
They need to La Famigliarize themselves with the mask wearing, but damn it was great pizza.
Quality, tasty ingredients
Pizza is good and staff is very friendly, but for god sakes it is not acceptable to have people working in such a closed space, preparing food and interacting with clients without masks on. When I went there were 5-6 staff inside the restaurant, two men were not wearing their masks (on their chin) while two others were wearing them improperly (under the nose). I understand restaurants have been hit hard and we try to eat out at local places like this as much as possible but cmon - please do at least the bare minimum to respect the health and safety of your staff and customers.
Greek Pizza was tasty!
We got the special rio ranch pizza, and it was really good! Will definitely be back to try their other pizzas. Their slices come up to around $5, pretty average price for a slice of pizza from a local shop.
Great pizza by the slice, sandwich, and pasta options. Service is friendly and authentic. This is one of my regular lunch options.
Yup, olschool Italian food, not great, not bad, is what it is
Ordered 2 different pizza from them at different times throughout the year. We asked for the pizza the second time to be cooked fully . The pizza was soggy the topings and the dough werent cook through. I ended up being very sick the next day . Wouldnt recommend this pizza to anyone trying something new.
Their Pizza is the most delicious Italian pizza that Ive had in GTA. Crust is The best Portion is big and the pricing is really good. The owner is really friendly and customer service is good. We drive more than 20 min to get to here, I wish they were in our neighbourhood so we can have their pizza more often I highly recommend to any one craving for a perfect Italian pizza
1st time ordering from here and never in my life have i ever had a lasanga with this much cheese they go real heavy on the Mozza. so cheesy that you just keep on chewing. I didnt feel as if it was well blanaced with the portions of meat sauce, pasta and cheese. I wouldnt recommend the garlic parmasean wings either no crisp and i kinda feel like they taste as if they dont wash their chicken (Im sorry for saying that if you do) But theres something about them that taste off to me. Loved the garlic knots. Might try a pizza next time.
awesome people
Amazing pizza
Awesome Food and Great people
Literally just had a pepperoni slice from this place 5 minutes ago and I kid you not, ONE OF THE BEST IVE EVER HAD IN THIS CITY. Would have went back for another but not trying to get too fat. People were also fantastic. Easy 5 stars.
Ordered several party sized pizzas for a birthday, and everything was delicious. Delivery was perfectly timed, and they provided great customer service. Would definitely recommend for your next event!
Pizza and wings were pretty good. Friendly staff and Im looking forward to trying the lasanga since someone posted they put plenty of cheese on it!
The restaurant was a nice clean restaurant with a few seats the pizza was good the gentleman is from New York so he makes New York style pizza definitely recommended
Pretty good pizza and I find the owner and his wife friendly and pleasant.
Best pizza! Amazing people!
Dont get me wrong, Im all for supporting local businesses but that business needs to offer quality product with a reasonable price. This is not that kind of place. A small slice of pizza for $5.00. Maybe I could understand the price of the pizza was freshly made, not here. The pizza was at best a day old and warmed up in the oven. The only thing that may have been fresh is whatever they were deep frying (but I doubt it, it probably came from the freezer). Anyway, if a descent New Yorker ever saw this pizza they would be greatly disappointed. Dont bother here. One and done for me.
Great local pizza at a great price!
Amazing!!! And that s an understatement
Great pizza 10/10
Pizza is great. Owner is kind!
Tried the chicken parmesan sandwich and it was really good, I have to come back and try their pizzas
Over the years I have commented to my wife (and others) that Pizza doesnt taste as good as it used to when I was a kid. I stopped into La Famiglia for the first time today and had a pepperoni slice....it tasted exaclty like the Pizzeria Pizza I remember eating from my childhood. The couple behind the counter were also very friendly. Not the largest slice Ive evern had but Ill definitely be back.
Two thumbs up
It s safe to say the whole house was enjoying the pizza! We ordered a double stuff meat pizza and Buffalo chicken. If you love toppings on your pizza, this is the place for you! They definitely bless the pizza with toppings. The only con is the pricing of the pizza. For two pizzas and medium fries, we paid $80. However, if you don t care about the money than you ll be enjoying your food.
Delicious pizza! I can t eat pizza from anywhere else. Lovely service upon arrival.
Food was amazing. I got the chicken parm Great Italian food. Thanks so much
Great pizza, quality ingredients. Owner was very personable. Looking forward to coming back again.
Real pizza
This is a great gourmet pizza place, but really not a place where youre going to find a cost effective meal. Isnt pizza supposed to be this?
Great consistent quality pizza
Fresh ingredients Everything we ordered was excellent Highly recommend, we will order from here again :)
So delicious! Best pizza in the area! Friendly staff too!
Authentic Real Italian Pizza with teal reviews. Serving our Parkview Hills Community for years. Highly Recommended Tamar Zimmerman
Absolutly the best pizza, just like Nonnas
Very good food
The real deal! Great food. Great people. The best New York style pizza around.
Honestly if you re going to charge significantly more for a pizza than most franchises, than it better be worth the price, and unfortunately this isn t the case here. The prices are ridiculously high for the food, you could get significantly better pizza for the price. I d love to know their justification for what they charge, because it isn t the quality of the ingredients or the taste of their food. Also, maybe have a couple specials? You had literally no specials listed on your website, what kind of pizza place don t have any specials?! Also, how can you have opened less than a month ago, but have reviews dating back years?! Seems really fishy to me.
Pizza was great, service was rude and chaotic, that being said they are new, definitely needs a better pick up method, but the pizza was so good Ill try again in a few weeks
Really wished I liked this more as I m hunting for a good local pizza shop in the area. The tomato sauce is so lacklustre it feels non-existent and the cheese tastes cheap. Really disappointed in the quality, especially for the price. Definitely won t be returning. :(
Great Pizza, Nice owner. Grab a slice.
Called to order ahead when we got there they forgot to make our food so we waited 10-15 minutes. At least they apologized. The pizza was OK we got the 14 Mediterranean pizza ($22) and onion rings ($6). Eat the pizza on the same day otherwise the crust gets hard.
Dont order food from here....
Some of the best pizza around, go and try the deep dish pizza its life changing
Value was ok. Pizza was ok. Nothing special and I have been to many better pizza places.
The pizzas are not only delicious but the sizes are amazing in price and toppings. Cannot wait to order again.
Excellent pizza and wings. The staff are welcoming and friendly.
Not really new york style pizza... tasted more like a cheaper version of pizza hut
Good food
The meat lovers pizza was good
Some of the best pizza ive had in Toronto. Crispy crust and very good quality ingredients, the lasagna pizza was probably my favorite
excellent pizza, friendly staff, high recommended
Please have your kitchen staff wear masks when preparing food during the pandemic please! Would be happy to return (as we were so excited to try this place) - but only when youve taken health and safety protocols seriously when handling food and dealing with customers.
We just had an incredible pizza from La Famiglia. . It was our first time ordering from them. They recommended the Roma spinach when we requested a vegetarian option. The crust reminded us of a true New York style pizza. The combination of ingredients was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to ordering from La Famiglia again!
good pizza and great owners
A non-descript little gem in a strip plaza on OConnor. (What else are you hiding East York?) We ordered a take out Stromboli and a Lasagna which were both tailor made for us. The owners/staff were very warm and accommodating. Well be back for sure. The dining area is utilitarian, but the food was quite nice. Thanks again!
Been looking for a New York pizza for a long time. Best Ive had since I was in NY
Walked by this pizza shop and decided to give a try. We were amazed by the big, crispy and delicious pizza. The store owner s family are really nice. Will come back again.
Wow. Tried their take out during Covid shut down. Great surprise. Unassuming location but clean, professional and great pizza. Crust and sauce are amazing. And the prices were great.
Old-school pie done right. Nothing fancy here, but thats not what this is all about. You can taste the love, and you will eat more than you planned.
Excellent to say the least.
Have had a number of different items on the menu. Pizza, hot subs, dinners, stuffed rolls, and sides. ALL were fantastically done!! Skip the computer. Call them directly! They have Great suggestions!
We just order party size pizza from this place .Pizza was hot fresh topping and most importent very testy !!
Poor hygiene
Best chicken parm sandwich iv ever had
How did I miss this little gem? I visit my son in Toronto often and usually get take out food while Im here. This place is great and best of all really friendly.
This place is amazing. Tonight I got a sub, knots, and a pizza...and they were all amazing. Cant wait to come back and explore other items. Highly recommend.
Tasty food! Uses REAL cheese on their pizza!
Rudest girl on the phone and we had thee most simple order... I should have listen to my friend they works in the same strip mall...
Roma Spinach! great pizza
Was looking for an authentic pizza. Instead I got diarrhea and a pizza worst than pizza pizza. Everyone in my family who ate it got really bad diarrhea. I talked to the owner about it and he and his wife started shouting as if it was impossible. They put their pride above the fact that they may have messed up. The pizza is below average and really expensive. Owners have no sense of customer service.
I just order for 4 people Xl Roma spinach, it was delicious , the delivery came very fast! I definitely order again from La Famigla pizzeria, thank you guys
We decided to try them again but last time all we ordered was several orders of chicken wings and a panzerottis and they forgot the meatballs. We went based on these reviews and ubereats reviews. We were quite taken back because our experience and the quality of everything didnt add up to these reviews whatsoever at all. Everything is very very average at best quality at the end of the day. Makes you wonder how real authentic the reviews really are?! Long story short pizza is very mediocre.. not much flavour.. taste like paper cardboard very bland. Perhaps you really need to add a meat type to this particular pizza to make it best! No substance nothing to it though. The large tossed salad was ok decent not special and pricy at $13 and very basic plain. The cheese calzone was ok but the dough way much too thick and quite heavy. Its supposed to be cheese calzone but it seemed there was some other cheese like ricotta or feta like some other heavy cheeses inside other than mozzarella. Lastly baked ziti was terrible. Very low quality. no subtance. I should know better never to order any pasta that is oven baked with cheese on top. Extremely heavy. Too much cheese. The garlic knots was the best thing we had so I doubt we will be back or maybe give them another try but I would totally stay away from all of there baked pasta dishes that put cheese on top of the pasta and than bake it. Lasagna is the only baked pasta that prob makes sense and tastes good which maybe I will try later. I think at the end of the day I will stick to Abruzzo or Dantes or something.. you can never go wrong althought they are not near by. Last time we had ordered they forget our meat balls and we mentioned it and they failed to include it this time when we told them the situation.
Perfect pizza and wings every time
Omg the lasagna is purely amazing. The pizza is delicious, the owners are from New York , so they know how to do amazing food. Did I mention the lasagna? Melt in your mouth!
Great and unique pizza! Fresh ingredients and friendly smiles! Will be back!
Amazing pizza!
Great tasting
Sensational food, great people
my go to pizza place for amazing pizza and friendly service
Delicous pizza made with quality fresh ingredients and love. This is my go to pizza place in the neighborhood. Friendly family owned and operated business. Looking forward to my next visit!
Just had this again tonight, after quite some time. La Famiglia is STILL the best pizza in town, by FAR, bar none. Authentic New York style pizza foldable, and oozing with cheesy goodness. This pizza impressed some real negative Nancys tonight. In a town replete with sub-par Pizza, La Famiglia is a godsend. Thanks guys!
Always great and fresh pizza and so much more. Thin crust authentic.
I ordered Tiramisu cake from this place. Received frozen cake which hard to eat and has snow on it. I will never order from this store in future.
Deliciousness to the max.
Super nice people, good food.
Excellent homestyle pizza you wont find anywhere else
My favorite pizza
My favorite pizza in the area- and I own a pizza restaurant in the area. Meat lovers is perfection.
Its one of those classic hidden gems. The establishment isnt overly flashy, but it doesnt need to be, if you know you know. The Owners are really friendly, and clearly care. They use fresh ingredients, and make quality slices, pies, pasta, strombollis, etc. Good variety of options. Tastes good cold the morning after, quality dough, proportionate balance of herbs, sauce, seasoning make this a new go to for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Came with a friend, got buffalo chicken pizza, great food
After seeing the reviews i thought the pizza would be worth a try, but really disappointed
Passable pizza at best. A friend recommended them but I dont know why. For the price I expected a homemade pizza with heart. I got two pizzas that could just barely qualify as buffalo chicken and pepperoni. If you want good pizza I would look elsewhere.
Best meatball dub in a very long time
Family hangout
The pizza there was better than most fastfood chains! If you want good cheap pizza this is a nice place to go! Its location isnt the best though thats why I didnt give it 5 stars. Furthermore, if you order two slices of pizza youll get a free soft drink. However, I found that the slices were big and perhaps one slice would feed a not too hungry adult. Anyway, its worth checking out if youre in the area and get a craving for cheap homemade italian pizza!
Very good pizza higley reccomend!!!
Good ambience.
Excellent!!
Nice store and and delicious pizzas and whatever you ask for.
Delicious and fast the cheese on the pizza is amazing will dine again
Food is good. But they have re-defined delivery areas. 5 km is too far now? Must be nice to be in a position to reject $100+ orders.
Horrible customer service. My pizza delivery was 45 minutes late and when I called to inquire there was no apology! The pizza was cold by the time i received it.
GREAT Pizza n friendly stuff!!
