We recently dined at this location and it was incredible! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for family and friends. The staff were welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. Highly recommended.

Ordered a well done pizza regular crust and showed up to pick it up and when I checked the box it was totally raw. The worker insisted this is normal. I showed her the dough is translucent and gummy. She argued with me but I cook for a living and I know better. I usually order thin crust here. I guess if I want to order here ever again I can only do thin crust.

I went here today and had a honolulu slice and it was so delicious then I ordered a medium 2 topping pizza to take home. I will definitely go here again next time!

Ordered 2 pizza pies at 3PM for pickup at 6:15PM and pizza was cold at pickup time. Pizza Bianca did not have enough feta cheese on it and taste like cardboard. Doesn't make sense to order from this location.

June 1, 2023

We ordered and picked up 2 medium size pizzas, paid $28.24 with tax and brought it home only to find out both pizzas were badly burnt and could not be eaten. When we called the store, they started with offering free dipping sauce on the next purchase and after much discussion offered a maximum refund of $10 on our next purchase, which we refused. We will, of course, never go back to Pizzaiolo again or recommend anyone to waste their money at this place.

This is my go to pizza place but perhaps the last time tonight. Terrible experience tonight. It seems like there may be new management. I called in a take out order. I was told 15-20 mins. I get there in 25 mins and walk in and am told my pizzas are going to take 10-15 mins more......because they didn't start making it yet. Instead of apologizing, I was given an excuse that it was busy. I don't buy it. If it was busy, don't tell me it'd be ready in 15-20mins. Anyway, I proceed to wait; meanwhile, another customer comes in - SAME PROBLEM FOR HIM!!!! Just to be safe, I ask another person (presumably the owner) if he could please check to make sure my pizzas were being made. He asked for my name and some shuffling later, he found my 3 pizzas INSIDE another oven being kept warm! Well guess what? I didn't think anything of it but when I got home, to my disappointment the pizza was all dried out. Of course, it was cooking inside an oven while I unknowingly sat there waiting. The picture is 1 of 3 pizzas. We choked down the other two before thinking to take pictures.

Tried their spinotta and capone pizza. WOW! I never thought I would like a vegetarian pizza this much! And the capone was delicious as well.Very good combination. The staff was cordial and the restaurant was nice and clean. Definitely worth the time and money. Would highly recommend it. Certainly better than any of the mainstream pizza chains I ve tried. They have vegan and gluten free options as well if that is what you re looking for.

Pizza is really tasty. They have halal beef which was a surprise! Just ask about offers and available halal items. They are very good at customer service.

Hoping to work with the employees at this location. Employees are so friendly, energetic, excited, and tasty Pizza maker. I love the vegetarian pizzas at this location and want to have dine-in after lockdown. One thing I want to personally recommend is to add 2-3 Indian Pizzas options, like Shahi Paneer Pizza, Tandoori Paneer or Butter Chicken or Tandoori Chicken option. I love the above paneer pizzas and I have 100 of known people who every time like to enjoy and eat Indian Pizzas. So, if there is any Indian pizza option in this store, I will no doubt every week get a pizza from this store.

Horrible restaurant. Ordered a vegan pizza and they put chicken on purpose. When I called the restaurant they were laughing pretending they did not understand. If you re a vegan please do not order from this location. They have no integrity, who knows what they are putting in their pizzas because they do not take any accountability.

This isnt the first time, thats why Im writing this. So, apparently, if you select extra cheese for half the pizza, the assumption by the staff, if that the other half doesnt want cheese. Shocking. I dont understand the logic displayed by the staff, but thats the deal. Why would I want a pepperoni half with no cheese on it? They put the garlic, and olive oil on the cheeseless half, not even sauce... Just pepperoni...such a disappointment.

Their honey heat pizzas are delicious with a hot honey dressing and a dash of chili . It s the best affordable gourmet pizza spot in town. You can binge eat here without a sliver of guilt. Shoutout to Anurag for excellent service.

December 21, 2022

First time I went it was ok, but nothing mind blowing and decided to go back. This time the pizza was a total joke. Sauce was almost nonexistent along with no cheese hardly at all and next to no toppings. It was like I was eating a piece of dough. I should ve just gone to the grocery store and bought a loaf of $3 Wonder Bread and eaten that. It would ve tasted better and not cost $30. I m guessing the Avenue Rd location is going out of business and doesn t care.

Some of my favourite pizza in the city! Always tastes good and fresh and doesn t take too long to deliver.

December 21, 2022

Terrible customer service - patrons beware! I was double charged for a pizza order on Canada Day. I had called ahead and prepaid with a credit card and then charged again on another family members credit card upon delivery at the door. I have since been calling to have this rectified and each time I am being given the run around of excuses starting with they have no record of this. Really? With technology being what it is today, a business cannot see that there are two identical pizza charges being delivered to the same address on the same day????? When proof on credit card(s) was provided, again I was told the owner had to look into this matter and then told a wait time of 5 days was necessary. It has now been 3 weeks from the time of order and still no reimbursement. An ethical business owner would have apologized for the error and immediately reversed the charges. I wish I could give this establishment a ZERO star on principle alone!

Pizza as always is great. Staff are quite happy and friendly. However on our first in store visit, the store was not very clean. Pepperoni on the floor by the ovens, not one table was clean. I cleaned one myself. The silver garbage bin that holds napkins had a half coke on it that had been there some time. Napkin dispenser had sauce on the side.

We go to this new location about 3/4 times a month and get the same thing: vegan truffle pizza. We ordered last night and was so disappointed to find a hair in our food, it was baked into the crust. So disgusting, we had to throw the whole thing out. During covid especially we expected more safety/hygiene protocols to be in place.

Longest delivery in the city not getting your pizza in under an hour. Better spots right next door

December 21, 2021

Do yourself a favour, never order here. Gave them several chances, each time pizza took over two hours for basic orders (three pizzas each time). Today, I ordered at 430PM, came to the store at 615 to see what was going on, pizza still not even in the oven. Ten people in the lobby with same story. Then got yelled at by employee because I asked why it wasn t even in the oven yet.

December 21, 2021

Ordered over an hour and a half ago, and my order is still not here. Never ordering from this store again. Can t get a hold of anyone in the store either.

Our neighbours ordered several pizzas for delivery yesterday (Halloween) at 4:30. After the pizza didnt arrive, they kept calling every 20 minutes to be told yes, it has left, it will be there any minute. We waited....and waited....and waited....with 10 very hungry children who hadnt had dinner and were anxious to trick or treat. Because we were continuously told that it would arrive any second, we continued to wait. Eventually, at 6:30, 2 hours after the scheduled delivery time, we couldnt wait any longer and had to go out trick or treating with a large group of very hungry kids/adults. However, the WORST part is that - after calling to cancel the order and request a refund, the location REFUSED! Several phone calls throughout the evening and even this morning and the location is still refusing! I get it, mistakes happen, especially on busy nights, but to refuse a refund under these circumstances? Unacceptable. There are MANY other options for fantastic pizza on Avenue Road and we will not be giving this location our business again. (PS - the pizza never did show up!)
