Best pizza joint in the neighborhood, HANDS DOWN! 🙌🏼 The dough is thin and crispy but moist! The toppings are of the highest quality, the dips are house made. Great causal spot to dine in. I’ve had both meat based and veggie based pizzas, all winners. Support your family owned restaurant and eat here!

Ok, this is an absolute gem on the far west end of downtown. In a city where after-9pm dining is scarce (and that’s being kind), this oasis with a pizza making maestro in front of a wood oven is next level. It’s a small, unassuming little pizzeria with a one-person open kitchen, a person in charge of the counter and a variety filled menu for pizza! Fresh, perfectly cooked and stellar ingredients make this place an absolute standout. Do yourself a favor and get a whole pie, you won’t be disappointed.

Great neighborhood spot for pizza! Good quality and you can always get a single slice. Sometimes my family drops by after school on Friday, or our friends would order a take out. Ordered some food and pizza for kids party and everything was made on time fresh and tasty.

This is the first pizza place in Canada that has the authentic Italian taste. Since, i moved to Canada from Italy, i always craved for the taste of Italian pizza and in search of that taste i tried many pizza places but never got the exact taste. But, this place has my heart now. I would rate this place 10/10 as other than pizza their desert options are also great and perfect to satisfy your sweet late night cravings.

I don’t understand how this Pizza is flying under the radar. Joe works the dough and the oven like an artist. Meticulous even in his packing of slices and folding the packaging. The Pizza is superb. Full of flavour in each ingredient. Thin, but not floppy, plenty of cheese and toppings. And it looks equally delicious

We orders the Capricciosa minus the ham, XL. The medium is 4 slices and the XL is 8 slices. The pizza was ready in less than 10 minutes made fresh. The crust was thin, had a nice chew to it. This place is way better than anything else in the area, way better than Dominos or Papa Johns. For the price and taste and chew of the crust, I prefer King Slice. There is limited seating inside. The staff were very friendly and nice.

SlowSouth pizza has been around for a little bit of time now and let's say, do not sleep on it being your local pizza spot. Nestled away on the west end of Dundas Street west, the team at SlowSouth put their everything into what they are serving. We got a half and half pizza, and cannot decide which one was better. All we know, is that we are in love and will come back sometime soon!

Great Pizza! I've only tried a pepperoni slice but it did not dissapoint! "thinner" crust, tasty sauce and good amount of toppings. Classic old school pizzeria slice. Quality for the price seems off compared to the many amazing options in the city, but I'll definitely be back to try a full pie as they have some interesting combinations and a ton of made in house dipping sauces.

Mediocre pizza. We ordered a margherita and pepperoni. The crust was nice and chewy with an initial crisp and a lot of flavour. The pizza toppings on the other hand left much to be desired. The sauce was good but not great, the margherita had way too much cheese on it and its salty grated mozarella not milky fior di latte, a classic margherita only has blobs of fior di latte, so you get bites with a good ratio of sweet milky cheese to sauce. The pepperoni was not good. The peps are put on at the end so you dont get the crispy edge on them that brings out their umami and adds texture that enlivens softness of the cheese, they are sitting on top of a margherita base wilting sadly into the cheese. Will not be back.

I usually don t write reviews like this but I found it compelling. I ordered a Sicilian arancini, margherita arancini and a margherita pizza. The Sicilian arancini was supposed to have peas and ground beef but it had only a blob of cheese in the middle. The margherita pizza was shaped more like a trapezoid than a circle. The dough in the pizza was also bit hard and dry. The pizza was also drenched with oil and didn t look like how it was advertised in the photos. But the ingredients in the pizza and arancini were fresh and the recipes tasted really good especially with the tomato sauce and creamy garlic sauce. I feel like this place has potential to be great if only the execution and attention to detail were there. It s almost as if the owner created the recipes and opened the restaurant just to have the current staff sell it short by not running the place correctly.

The first thing that drew us to Slow South is that they long proof their dough for 72 hours! Secondly, the turnaround time for orders is very quick so no long waits. Lastly, and most importantly, the pizzas are very tasty with quite a few non-standard options. If you like spicy, I recommend the NDuja, but you cant go wrong with any of the options. I would also say they have the citys BEST meatball sandwich! Instead of a kaiser bun, they use the pizza dough; the meatballs are dense so no filler; its loaded with the perfect blend of ingredients that compliment each other excellently; the hot pepper version isnt spicy but adds a wonderful amount of underlying heat; and its messy, which somehow adds to the whole experience. I actually just had one for dinner so its fresh on my mind; its a must-try!

We have been ordering from SlowSouth Pizza for a few months and its our current automatic spot for pizza the whole family likes. We all agree the crust is the best. The kids always get just plain pepperoni, while the adults jump back and forth between a few. Most recently we had the NDuja pizza. Its very spicy, which we like. We also always comment on how much greens they put on their pizza. Sometimes referred to as a forest of greens. Its great. Another plus if you are ordering is, we have never had an issue with getting the pizza on time. In fact its usually early. Thats saying something considering how many mishaps occur using Uber. Glad they are close to home and making the Dundas W happy with their pizzas. Highly recommend.

Definitely one of the best pizzas I have ever had in Downtown Toronto, probably the best one. The crust was very light and had a good crunch. Sauce and cheese were impeccable. Service was super quick and staff very friendly. Our pizzas were ready in less than 15mins even if they looked pretty busy. I honestly love to find owners who are also the pizza chef. Not that common to see it anymore.

Met the owner who was the chef- I must say the guy makes his pizza s with pure love for the food. The pizza s were definitely worth it. I would recommend this pizza place to all my friends & family. Their in-house choclate mousse cake & in-house dipping sauces were amazing as well. I m a vegetarian so I really liked how I had some many options :) Will definitely pay them future visits as well anytime I am in Toronto, the chef was very generous, after knowing that I drove all the way from Brampton- he gave me a complimentary mousse cake & dippings as well. I really appreciate the overall experience

Ordered pizza here once a few weeks ago so I ordered it again very recently. I was really pleasantly surprised both times! These pizzas are prepared EXACTLY the way I love them! Very rich in flavour, not too crispy crusts, normal/reasonable prices... and every single time I ordered from SlowSouth Pizza, it arrived BEFORE the expected delivery time. Simply fantastic. In my opinion, this place is doing everything right!

Delicious pizza. Thin crust and full of flavour. You can eat-in bar style or take to go. What isnt something youd expect, but is delicious is their tiramisu. Its enough for 2 people and is better than what Ive had at the citys best eat-in restaurant style pizza places. All in, one of my favorite places in the city. Legit tho, make sure you dont snooze on the tiramisu: its not crazy sweet, cloud like, and really the best Ive had in a long time.

New favourite pizza spot in the city!

December 22, 2023

Response to owners comment: I had a look at the photo you posted on IG and I can confirm there were no issues with the delivery. As per your photo, there is barely any cheese, the toppings were just floating on top of the pizza and the banana peppers had no heat whatsoever. Whenever I order a good or bad pizza, the toppings are usually cooked into the pizza and not raw and sitting on top as if they were added after the pizza was cooked. As soon as I picked up a slice out of the box the toppings slid off. The pizza is also tiny. I appreciate your response but my opinion still stands. It looks like you have countless positive reviews and I am glad there are many people that enjoy your pizza. I am sorry I am not a fan. Ordered the chorizo pizza via DoorDash tonight and it was brutal. The underside of the pizza was black and burnt. There was barely any cheese. The banana peppers had absolutely no heat. And it seemed like whomever made the pizza forgot to add olives until after the pizza was cooked and threw them on top. All the olives fell off the pizza. The portion was minuscule, equivalent to 2 slices from a chain pizza shop. For the price this is a major rip off. This was a very disappointing pizza and I will not be ordering from this joint ever again.

The pizzas here are amazing. You cant go wrong with any choice. My favourite is the Nduja spicy and meaty. You can get it delivered, come un for takeout, sit with a nice cold beer and a slice. The place is heaven. Ans the staff is always friendly! Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options. And you have an option to make your own pizza. Kid-friendliness: They serve both pepperoni and a cheese pizza so either is very kid friendly. They have a wide selection of drinks. And even desserts. All which are kid friendly.

Welcome to Slowsouth Pizza, where pizza dreams come true and time seems to slow down as you savor every bite. This hidden gem, tucked away in Brockton Village, is like walking into a cozy Italian pizzeria out of a quaint European village. As you approach the entrance, youre greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of wood-fired pizza that draws you in, as if being hugged by an Italian grandmother. The moment you step inside, you notice the rustic charm of the place, with its exposed brick walls, wooden accents, and mismatched chairs that feel as if theyve been collected from various European homes over the years. You find yourself contemplating whether to sit at the bar, where you can watch the pizza chef in action, or grab a spot by the window to enjoy people-watching while you eat. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, with the constant buzz of conversation and laughter filling the air. The staff greets you like a long-lost friend, making you feel part of the family. As you peruse the menu, you realize that deciding will take much work. The tantalizing descriptions of the various pizza combinations have your mouth watering before you bite. And wait to get me started on the appetizers. The Sicilian Arancini is a must-try; those deep-fried rice balls filled with tomato sauce, ground beef, and green peas are divine. I still dream about how the mozzarella oozed out as I cut into them and how the crispy exterior perfectly complemented the rich tomato sauce on the side. But lets get back to the pizza, shall we? The brilliance of Slowsouths menu lies in its ability to cater to classic pizza lovers and those looking for a more adventurous experience. While I must admit that I usually stick to the traditional Margherita slice, I can never resist adding a few extra toppings to spice things up. The tangy tomato sauce, the creamy mozzarella, fior di latte, and the fresh basil leaves create a symphony of flavors that dance on my taste buds. The Salsiccia & Rapini pizza is an excellent choice for those who prefer a bit more excitement. The heat from the spicy sausage pairs beautifully with the slightly bitter rapini, creating a unique and delicious taste sensation that I never knew I needed. Plus, the 12-inch size is perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying all by yourself (I wont judge). As you sit at your table, enjoying the heavenly pizza and the relaxed atmosphere, you cant help but feel a sense of contentment. Slowsouth Pizza is more than just a restaurant; its a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, even for a little while. So next time youre in the mood for some mouthwatering pizza and a one-of-a-kind dining experience, make your way to Slowsouth Pizza. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

I came here for the first time tonight (April 20th) and the pizza was absolutely super! I ordered an extra large with pepperoni, spicy sausage and spicy sopressata and despite it being all meat, it was very light and didn t leave me bloated or feeling like I needed a nap after like a lot of pizzas do. The sauce had a lot of flavour and the crust was fantastic, nicely crispy and had lots of the leopard spotting and char that I love from a great wood fired pizza. By far one of the best pizzas I ve had in recent memory. I also got an order of the Sicilian arancini which were generously sized and great tasting as well with the side of marinara. Slow South Pizza will definitely become a regular go to spot for me whenever I have a pizza craving from now on, and I highly recommend it - you will not be disappointed!

Gorgeous experience! I popped into it with friends, delighted to taste my favourite pizza White Salsiccia&Rapini and I had also tried a slice of Pistacchio. Delicious Pizzas, the mix of the ingredients and wood fire backed combination, were superlative. Enrica and Giuseppe are excellent hosts, very friendly and courteous. I ll be back soon to try Tiramisù.

I have been to this pizzeria twice and I tried different things (pizza fritta, Margherita, pizza wallet and arancini) the food is absolutely great and very authentic Italian.

Perhaps the best pizza joint in the GTA. Unlike most places, they dont have Pizza in their name but they surely have it in their blood. An Italian-owned jem. The crust is absolutely perfect. Oh yes, pizza shouldnt be called pizza unless made in a wood-burning oven. I am so happy that they are 3 minutes from my home. This place is not going anywhere but that doesnt mean that you shouldnt try it today. 6/5 stars.

1 out of 5. Crime against pizza. The physical manifestation of disappointment. Don t believe the hype. This pizza is terrible. You know when you drunk at 3am seeking edible matter and you hit that Pizza Pizza cause it s the only thing open and they re done making pizzas for the night and there s just that one slice left of questionable providence? Yeah that s SlowSouth at prime dinner time. Read on for the gory details: Crust - dense, dry, bland, soft where you want crunch, hard where you want soft. The texture makes eating a single slice a soul draining chore. Sauce - more bland. Lifeless. Missing that happy, bright tomato flavour that should bring joy to your heart. I ordered the extra marinara cup, and each dip brought more sadness as I mourned the loss of the possibility of a tasty dinner. Toppings - more bland. Bland that stands out against the background of bland. Was the cheese replaced with pencil shavings? It s entirely possible. And the pepperoni. I didn t even know that could be bland yet here we are. And of course not cooked to have even the slightest bit of crisp that could have at least been a token gesture at flavour or texture. Sorry SlowSouth but y all need to do some soul searching cause maybe pizza ain t your life s vocation.

My buddy recommended this spot even Im not the biggest fan of Neo-Neapolitan pizza. I thought I would try it anyway I got a medium pepperoni pizza. The crust was thin, pepperoni could use a little more spice but cheese was good but need a bit more sauce. Still pretty good 7.7/10

Probably the best slice in Toronto. New place but theyre not new to pizza. Pepe is from Italy and has been making pizza for 20 years - its clear he really knows what hes doing. They had only just opened when Portnoy came to town but I expect itll be his highest score next time hes here. Better than Badiali and North of Brooklyn.

Tastes like 241 or Pizza Nova, but double the price. Not impressed. I wouldnt be surprised if they use canned pizza sauce. The crust was under seasoned and did not definitely enjoy a day or three cold proofing as there was no depth of flavour. The pizza left an odd textural feeling in the mouth, almost as if there was xantham gum or something similar in the sauce. For similar cost and proximity, get your pizza from Maker or Badiali. Ownership: for the prices you charge, you should be cold fermenting your dough for 2 or 3 days and be using raw DOP tomato sauce for your pizza. These changes alone will give you a better product. Go enjoy a slice at Maker or Badiali to see what Im talking about. They can teach you a thing or two if you want your business to last. I honestly couldnt taste anything authentic or handcrafted in your slices. Edit: Thanks for taking the time to reply back. It was a whole pizza that was ordered. Standard Pepperoni and mushrooms. Ill try you guys again in a few months once youve fine-tuned your operation. I get that it takes time to figure things out when you first open. Do go try those pizza places I recommended (if you havent already), because theyre competing at your price point and they make better pizza. I want local businesses to succeed. Good luck!

Exquisitely balanced. Its incredible to make something so flavorful *without* excessive use of salt or sugar. I *highly* recommend the hot creamy garlic and jalapeno dip. These dips are also some of the best Ive ever had. Extremely well balanced. Unbelievably fresh. I think this might be the best pizza in Toronto.

Disappointed with my pizzas. Very tight on tomato sauce, nobody really enjoyed it. -Expected more flavorful crust -No tomato flavor -Very soft and a bit wet (despite lack of sauce) There is a little place close by that does a $5 medium pepperoni, unfortunately, more flavorful. Maybe I just caught them at a bad moment before closing. Cant pay $30 a pie to find out though.
