Pizzeria da Mario Kensington in Toronto

Sadly the Pizza crust sags now.... It didnt used to under the original ownership.... The pizza still tastes good , but its not what it was

This place is amazing !!! Pizza 10/10, huge slices and amazing customer service :) best pizza spot in the city !!!!

Ordered the Diavola pizza via takeout. It was really and the best Diavola pizza I ve had so far

One of the best pizzas easily in the city. The pizza Is always fresh. Amazing quality for such a great price. The staff are also very friendly. Definitely will come back!

I ordered this pizza through Uber eats- was like the only pizza place open. It was unreal the cheese was so good and way better then any pizza up north where my wife and I are from. 5 stars + more the Uber driver was a boner. Good pizza

Food: as soon as you walk in, you are slapped with the smell of warm, gooey, saucy, cheesy, and carby pizza. Turn the other cheek and let it slap you again. Ah, their pizza is the epitome of taste, ecstasy, and class. Their pizzas are always served hot, fresh, and precisely triangular. Their dipping sauce rich and creamy. Their pizza oil greasy, herby, and spicy. Their chili flakes bountiful. Their tiramisu having the flavour and texture of a fluffy, soft, and decadent choco-coffee cloud. Ah and the beer tis a fine touch. Yes, the food and drink were eventfully delicious. Again, yes, quite good indeed. Service: you are met with a battalion of will make all of your pizza dreams come true staff who stand ready behind their fine counter and pizza-making station. We were met by their representative, aka the cashier. She was agreeable, helpful, and cute. The service was indeed highly eventful. Atmosphere: their green and red sign is clean and intact, which reflects the cleanliness inside. They have seating outside for patrons to enjoy during warm weather. Inside, they have adequate seating arrangements. The ambiance was eventful. BUT their bathroom door was missing its doorknob which nearly tipped our eventful uneventful review scale. But at least we were able to peak through where the doorknob once was which made watching passerbyers an eventful experience unless someone else could have peaked in first. Overall, favorably eventful. Approvenly eventful. Indeed, we positively recommend it. Sincerely, The Eventful Uneventful Review Station

These guys do it right. Come after midnight, have patience, and enjoy the za n dip that you deserve.

Great service, great vibes after a fun night out in kensington

One of the best pizzerias in the city. The Mille funghi and the Diavolo are my favorites. 10/10 would recommend. The staff is very kind as well.

Ordered a red base chicken pizza absolutely loved it. The server kamal was real nice understand our order and made it quickly and fast

This is the pizza the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles eat 15/10 will get again

Excellent salami pizza for a good price

Staff was really good especially kamal he was very nice and the tiramisu is very tasty

Very good pizzas, you can go there with your eyes closed!

The pizza is good- a bit pricey though. Service is really poor. The man who handed me the pizza this afternoon was not friendly at all,as if I hadnt already paid for the pizzas. If you have poor customer service skills, then dont work in food service!

Amazing small shop in Kensington the pizza is amazing and the place is always open you, always love to stop by when I m in the area

The pizza is amazing and so is their customer service. Thank you!

Seems like a lowkey pizza parlour but this was easily one of the best slices I have had. I originally got a cheese slice fresh out of the over and ended up splitting a pepperoni with a friend after because it was so good. This place is amazing. I can t stop thinking about it and will be back next time I m in the area.

Wow great pizza slices bang for your buck and taste amazing at 6$ a slice Ill be back for sure great job !

If youre looking for a fantastic late-night bite, this pizza place is a must-try! The pizza is amazing, and the staff really make the experience special. Perfect for satisfying those late-night cravings!

Don t judge a book by its cover.

Rude staff and unclen behaviour Never visit this restaurant Its annoying Food : 1/5

New owners.. besmirching the old family name

Best pizza on my mama

they are very rude

The pizza is really good. Me and my husband loved it.

Hands down the best pizza I have tried in a very long time. Got delivery and it was still warm and tasted so fresh. I got a free tiramisu along with my order and I was blown away. I never order tiramisu because my mom s will forever be best there is but this one is a close second. So so delicious. Second time trying their pizza and just as delicious everytime. Will order again

truly truly truly best pizza in toronto by far. if i m ever in kensington for a meal there s no question i m getting a slice. the staff are incredibly friendly as well. went in last night for a bday slice and our server ended up giving us free tiramisu as a bday present! just to be clear though: the pizza is so good that i would still come in if the server slapped me across the face

Bussin pizza, kinda staff, open late

Im pretty sure this is the best pizza in the world.

Always an amazing pizza. Lovely staff! Darren in particular was so friendly. Easiest 5 stars I ve ever given.

Pizza was pretty bomb and the delivery was fast! Thanks the for late night pie! Would definitely order from here again.

Literally no words to match the quality of pizza they made . Vegetarian options: Add Onions, Peppers, olives and mushrooms ( Pineapple is always a option but I didnt choose) Add extra seasonings and the most mandatory was the Olive oil

Great pizza and open late, doesn t get much better

Closest in taste and style to true New York pizza. We tried the margherita pizza, and it was some of the best we have ever had! Very fast, excellent service!

Delicious thin slices!

Staff working on aug 29 at night was so rude and disrespecting the delivery drivers.

Good pizza and great tiramisu

Definitely the best place I have ever been. Nicest people and absolutely great pizza. It is a must come!

I had the best pizza ever

Pizzeria da Mario is one of Toronto s best! They re generous with toppings and most importantly, it s authentic high quality pizza. I m Italian and also went to culinary school so I take food quality and taste seriously. Pizzeria da Mario consistently delivers excellent authentic Italian pizza and great service. We get their pizza on a regular basis. The complimentary tiramisù is always appreciated and a great touch. I highly recommend this pizza place - it s the best!

Walked in on a whim. Open late, which is amazing. Took that first bite and just knew I landed on gold. Simple, affordable, delicious. Not much more to say!

so good omg

BEST PIZZA IN TOWN i love the slices it s delicious and the people there are so nice !!!

Absolutely love Ortolana Calzone! Fully loaded and flavorful! Perfectly baked! Also, tiramisu is a must try!

God damn, if this wasn t an incredible surprise. The dough is fantastic, sauce to cheese ratio is perfect. Highly recommend

Very impressed with our delivery order. The pizza has the perfect thin but slightly floppy crust. We ordered the Salamino pizza and it had a great flavour. Would definitely order again! Bonus points as they are available late night.

Best pizza i ve ever had! Employees were so nice.

This place is an absolute gem and the people who work there are awesome. Just like your Nonnas pizza.

Good pizza for late night eats

cheap yummy warm crispy fast reminiscent of brooklyn nyc slices

First class business!

Absolutely unexpectedly delicious pizza. 10/10

Very happy-go-lucky staff. Great pizza. Will definitely go back!

Wet pizzas

I didnt eat there, but they seemed nice on the phone, review from Milan

Was too thin and soggy cheese was not good whatsoever very stringy

great service nice guy

Great pizza must try if you in the area

I went on Monday morning and tried the pizza here. It s so crispy and delicious. There was a chef, he was taking a good care for customers. I love this restaurant and i will come back to eat more often.

My go too spot.

Honestly, do people just not care at all anymore. Do you know what I would give to have my own restaurant?!

Ordered pizza after work - at 2am. Didn t expect much- it s one of the best pizza I ve had! And they gave me a free tiramisu Love !!! Food : 5/5

Yum

I just had one of the best pizzas Ive ever had.. I am a pizza snob. Try this pizza its unreal. I had the chicken pizza via ubereats Food : 5/5 |

Best pizza

Contender for the best pizza (and sauce) in town.

Tiramisu is pretty good here.

I went here after a night out to order a pizza to go and the owner saw I was upset and gave me a free drink and dipping sauce with my order it made my night and I will be going back on the basis of this kindness alone. the pizza is also very good!

We had a large margharita for $24; the three of us paid $9 each, surely for the tax? without the tips of course. I think it s a bit expensive for the quality even if it was good, it wasn t worth as much

Best pizza in Toronto get here now!!!

Amazing experience! This place is one of my top favourites and if you like pepperoni pizza this is the best place for it. Great service and open after midnight

Food was good price.

Excellent dishes

Love the pepperoni pizza and calzone Great service

Good quality pizza , and this place is open until 4 am. in the weekend ......

Dharen was absolutely phenomenal, Fantastic service, friendly and delicious pizza! Highly recommended! 10/10

I don t normally get slices from pizzerias, but I saw some girls walking out of the place with some of the biggest gd slices of za I ve ever seen in my life the other night, and decided to give it a try. Got the pepperoni slice, and it was great. The guy at the cash also had jokes, which isn t a necessity for good pizza, but also never hurts. Will for sure bring my family here when they visit

I dont have that expansive of a palette when it comes to pizza, but this was hands down the best slice Ive ever had, and it was only $6 all in for a huge slice. Its a pity I wont be able to visit often as Im up in Scarborough, but Im still reminiscing about it 7 hours later.

The Da Mario pizza is the best pizza Ive had in this city. High quality ingredients and the garlic sauce is amazing (closer to a shawarma style toum sauce rather than the creamy garlic from every other pizza place). Great customer service and amazing pizza.

Best pizza ever !!! I went in for a quick pizza slice and it was sooo good- not to mention the hugeee portion size. Well satisfied

good

Best pizza in the city!!

Good stuff

The pizza slice is very big, but the tomato taste is too strong and the dough is not yeasty.

Best late night pizza in Toronto

Maybe it could be about the pizza that I have eaten but I was disappointed after trying the pizza here. While I appreciate a thin crust, this one was too thin and it was too juicy causing it to lack balance and structural integrity. As a result, the toppings overwhelmed the base, making it difficult to eat without falling apart. Despite high expectations, I found it to be overrated.

My friends and I loveeee this place! Some of the best pizza in the city along with such a nice owner!

Best pizza in Toronto, staff is so nice!! Especially dharen (I think that s his name) he always helps me with my orders and they come out excellent

I arrived in Toronto from Ottawa to visit a friend. A European having lived in Canada for a number of years I have tried my fair share of Italian restaurants in Canada. Perhaps as I am German by origin (Germans by definition love Italian pizza), orders, be it noodles or pizza, often havent stood up to the test. As I had made prior, to put it mildly, disappointing orders via Uber Eats, not knowing a business or its quality in advance: Imagine my surprise with this Toronto Chinatown Italian restaurant ! After not having had a Calzone in ages, and generally loving Pepperoni pizza we went for these two choices. This small business then went on to suprise me like I have never been surprised in terms of food in Canada before. They blew me away - even though it was only take-out, the chefs thought of food presentation ......... and then trying my first bite. OMG. Truly and honestly, these pizzas were the best I have ever had outside of Europe, outside of Italy. This spot is a must-try! Prices are fair for the quality and size you get.

Delicious pizza. Was done relatively quickly and you could see the pizza being made in front of you. Environment was nice and wish a washroom to use. It s right on a small lively street with a lot of local businesses. Perfect for a walk and browsing.

Service was fantastic, the slice was even better. Great size, flavour and ratios of cheese pepperoni to sauce. Will definitely come back!

Really good slice of pizza and cold Brio

Orderd pizza recently from Pizzeria da Mario in the middle of the night. It wasnt close to home, despite that I was still able to order a pizza at 2am. What can I say, sometimes I crave food in the middle of the night. :) And this was possibly one of the best pizzas Ive ever had. Rich, fresh, despite the distance it was nice and warm... just... fantastic. I dont have any experience with their service or atmosphere as I ordered my pizza from home. So I dont think its fair to rate that. Thank you, Pizzeria da Mario. See you next time!

When I say on god and for real, it s serious business. I ve got two pizza tattoos so I know what I m talking about here, this spot SLAPS. Some absolutely premium pie. Got a whole one to go and it was so big it didn t even fit in the box. 11/10.

Amazing pizza slice. Perfect thin crispy crust reminiscent of good NYC pizza. Open late, has beer and delivers. Good service and friendly owner who cares. Keep it up!

Good pizza. Great that this place is open quite late.

The food is good and service

At the time where I got my margarita pizza I was at a music event across the street. It was my first time and I promise you it was one of the freshest pies I ve had in a while! Customer service was excellent. Food is super fresh! I ve been there three times already definitely a spot to check out especially for late night munchies!

3 things: 1. I called to verify if the pizza was traditional Neapolitan style; they confirmed it was, but it wasn t. 2. Who sprinkles salt on pizza? I had to discard two boxes because they were unbearably salty. Despite the chef confirming they only add a little, it was excessive. He also claimed the mozzarella naturally contains salt, yet Ive never found commercial or fresh fior di latte salty. 3. The cheese on the four-cheese pizza tasted stale. I hope it was just bad luck ordering from here, as others seem to have had better experiences. $50 wasted. Definitely Not recommended. If you re looking for authentic Neapolitan this is definitely not the place.

Hi Im a food delivery boy. I do Doordash deliveries too, but on my electric bike as the timings of cars and bikes are almost the same sometimes bikes are faster in downtown toronto. And as usual, i got an order from your restraunt, it was 10+ dollars. was a huge order for me but when i entered, and showed the order to the bald guy, he asked me if im on my car, then i said no im on my bike, i understand as he might have asked for parking reason. And when he knew i was on my bike, he started asking so rudely, Where is your bike?, on which I pointed out my bike and then he asked me where is your bag?, which i was literally carrying. And then told me to wait outside by pointing out, like im his servant with his arrogant and rude voice. He really doesnt need to teach me as in my other one thousand deliveries i always stay outside if they tell me to wait if its a congested restaurant without even the staff telling me to do so. But saying in such a manner shows how unmannered his upbringing was. Then he immediately started scolding me and he looked frustrated, you must have checked the order before coming, if the pizza will fit or not, literally 3 times, without even knowing that my bag has a pizza space with extensions for large pizzas as well and by the way it was just 12 inch pizza. He said to me, im getting a lot of complaints from the customer and started showing the complaints messages and reasons, he was frustrated. Then when he handed me the order, he was like, put it one by one, like im doing the delivery for the first time. and said dont put anything on the pizza. Ok i do understand that too. Then the rudest thing ive ever and first time heard during all these delivery experiences was, Ill check and call with the customer, like im gonna mess the order or gonna smash the box deliberately or its like my first time. To that bald guy, Im amazed seeing you, despite your age, you seem to be really immature and full of disrespect to younger or other hard working people. Please learn how to respect the drivers who work hard the entire day just for their living because they dont have a job as guys like you who dont even know how to talk and respect the delivery boy are there, most probably on reference, saying them please can you wait outside as it could get a bit congested doesnt makes you less good. whatever you say you need to be gentle on that. Act like you got an upbringing in a well mannered and respectful environment. Really guy you are lucky that you get to work there, or a hard working guy if you own that place. But despite your hard work improve and learn how to respect all other professions. Not every delivery boy is reckless. I have too much going on in my student life, and itll never be this way. But One thing i know is, Ill never forget you in my entire life. I will be back there after a few years, maybe even after 10 years, for a talk with you. The only thing im thankful for was, i got to deliver the food on my electric bike (which is not exceptional, as every other hundreds of restaurants have allowed me to do so). Anyways thanks for the worst experience of my delivery career. This taught me a life lesson that these types of people also exist in this world. May you get the taste of your own medicine someday. And im assuming that you guys will reply in an arrogant manner as you guys only prioritize the customers. If you guys are soo much done with doordash or other delivery platforms, then why dont you guys start delivering yourself as some other restaurant does

Great pizza. Highly recommend

Grabbed a pepperoni slice and very much enjoyed it. Nice location and dine in area and great service. Will be back to try other menu options for sure!

One of the best pizzas of my life!!!

Does not get the spotlight that this place deserves. In the same conversation as Badialis.

Lousy people to communicate with. NO respect.

Food was delicious !

We tried the Diavola Red Base pizza and it was amazing! Every bite was delicious! Will definitely try this place out again when were in town! A+

Pizzas taste very good and staff is really nice.

Some of the best pizza in Toronto! Dont bother with anywhere else in the neighborhood. This is the one! The slices are thin and foldable with the perfect crust, delicious sauce and appropriate cheese ratio. Though its not advertised, this is just like some of the best slices Ive had in NYC. In lieu of pepperoni, that offer both sweet and spicy salami options, and theyre both superior! Price is right too at $5-6 a slice and whole pies starting at $15.

One of the best pizza places in Toronto, super fresh tomato sauce.

owners are on a power trip. Pizza is not even all.that, its as bad as there attitude have more respect for people.

Very Great Service!!! Lots of smiles!! Very kind people! Got the margherita pizza was soooo good one of the best in town for sure!

I ordered pizza for delivery and told them to hand it to me but the delivery driver just put it on the floor and drove away after just knocking and ran away. This was my first time ordering and probably my last time if this is how they handle my food

Wrapped up work at midnight on Friday night, craving a non-corporate, late night slice. My Google search led me to Kensington Market s Pizzeria de Mario where I was greeted with a beautiful smile and stellar service. The pizza? Generous size, massive pepperoni, light sauce and a crust that will deliciously have you using two hands! I ll be back! Thanks, Dharen.

incredibly kind staff, very yummy pizza open late!

Pizza slices are huge and super delish. Well worth the money. Also customer service was great, everyone who works there is super sweet.

Delicious cheese pizza slice. Huge slice for a good price and the taste is really good.

some of the best pizza i ve had in this city and it s open late and the owner is terribly sweet, this place rocks

The pizza was amazing and the service even better. Hope to come back soon!

One of the best pies in Toronto! Great people!

such great pizza, good people, great vibe. so recommend it

Best pizza in that area super fresh and super affordable a must try!

great :)

Pizza is amazing and served fresh, the slices are HUGE. the service was quick and very kind. Great atmosphere!

This is one of the best pizza houses I ve visited the pizza is amazing and highly recommend the Margarita Pizza

Perfect!

Good pepperoni pizza, really good garlic dressing.

Great for

Best Pizza in town, would travel all the way from Germany back to get a Pizza Here!!

This is the best pizza join in Toronto hands down.

So good one of the best pizzas in town the crust was soft and great toppings

Best pizza slices in Kensington! Authentic Italian!

truly fantastic pizza available at all hours of the night

The employees are so sweet! Perfect to have after the bar! I dj late so it s awesome that they re open!

I was hungry at 1am and decided to drive from Richmond hill to Kensington just for Pizza Da Mario. Definitely worth the 30 min drive. If you re ever in the area I would definitely recommend you check it out. And if you re not take a drive! It s worth it.

First time in Canada, they really looked out. I came from Alabama and Nathan was super kind and the pizza was absolutely amazing. Pizza is my favorite food. Dietary restrictions: I have a shellfish allergy and do not eat pork Nathan was very diligent about protecting my experience. I had no issues.

Very good pizza. Special thanks to kamal for great service & great food

Classic pizza joint. Best pizza in town. Thin droopy crust, AAA marinara sauce, beauty crust and cheese that doesn t upset your tummy. My fav is the margarita

Unreal experience.

Delicious !

Not a pizza fan but I loved the pizza here! Unassuming, hidden gem. So underrated! Warm service and food makes you go back again. Not a place to look for atmosphere because you come here for the food.

This family-run pizzeria is one of the best quality that I ve had! Must-try and return! I always order the Modena and it Always satisfies. Thank you for existing

Ordered the chicken red base pizza. It had no flavour and barely any sauce.

Locals favourite! Amazing base sauce! Had the fungi (mushroom) pizza and it was a delight!...A small pizza is enough for 2-3 people!

Ordered through Uber eats. Ordered white base pizza. It was no white base, only crust and cheese! Oversalted and dry.

Ive been a big fan for quite some time but have noticed that the quality has gradually gone down. My experience keeps getting gradually worse each time. For e.g. I got a large Margherita yesterday and for ~ $28 (incl. tax), it didnt feel worth it at all. There was very little tomato sauce, the cheese didnt taste good and the basil was hard to find. Seemed like cost cutting. The pie needed a lot more sauce! 2 stars for the crust

Great place lovely servers and the pizza slaps Aiden approved and Olivia is the witness

I ordered via Ubereats and I had an issue with a missing sauce, pizza was so good I still decided to place another order at a later date and they included the missing sauce from the 1st order with the 2nd order. So much integrity! I really really appreciate you guys for making it right. Amazing pizza, amazing people. Give them a try! :)

Very good pizza. The funghi pizza is very tasty and you can customize the pizzas. They are open very late.

LOOOVED THE PIZZA

Wow just wow. Pizza was amazing. Service was amazing. Atmosphere was amazing. Wow.

best pizza i ve had in a while.

delicious pizza and the staff all have so much aura #goats

Great dough and sauce. A simple and classic NY style slice. Highly recommend it if you re in the area and looking for a quick and cheap bite.

Pizza is good 4/5. Tiramisu is terrible 1/5.

This is the best pizza in Toronto HANDS DOWN!!! Adorable mom and pop Italian style with delicious fresh ingredients. Can t recommend enough

Take too long for delivery. Always having delivery staff waste their time waiting.

Authentic family-run shop serving the BEST pizza in Toronto. High-quality ingredients, and the family running the shop are a delight. If youre in the city this place is a must-go!

Average

Ordered from here a few times and it s always been great

UPDATE : Still so good Great Pizza ! Tried for the first time a slice of pepperoni pizza , was a bit spicy for me but overall it was a 10/10 ! And the slice is fair for the price

We didn t eat there, as they only had two choices.

Last Saturday night, my co-worker and I were walking through Kensington Market and stumbled across Marios. I havent really been in the area since before the Pandemic, so this place was completely new to me. The staff was absolutely lovely, the whole family working together behind the counter. We walked in and browsed the menu and ordered the large Fungi, they told us to give them 8 minutes and they were pretty true to that, took them only 8 minutes to makes us a large Fungi vegetarian. The pizza was fantastic by the way, quality in fresh ingredients was something you can taste right away, straight from the oven to our mouths. The owner even came out to greet us on the patio, we talked all about him starting up his business and details of how the place came to be. He seems like a genuinely loving guy towards his family and customers, that much showed in his enthusiasm. He was very happy to know we enjoyed the food, service and our first visit . . . we even spoke about our family history and Calabria, so its always nice to see another Italian all the way out here with an honest hard working business, and back home. I look forward to swinging by again sometime with my friend and maybe someone new that can also enjoy a slice of Marios. One of the best parts about sitting outside was that it was a calm night, the air was fresh, people were unwinding in the neighborhood and we could hear the music across the street coming from the Jazz bar, so we spent a few hours here just enjoying conversation over good food and kind folk. I didnt mind the price I paid for the quality, it was definitely worth it just to experience the service, which we really appreciated, along with it being a fun memory well always have about finding this place for the first time. Its worth your time and taste buds. Grazie mille!

Located in the busy Kensington area, they offer a variety of pizzas. The price perhaps a bit high for simple pizzas.

Run by a lovely family! Great food and service!

Great pizza!! We had Hawaiian and it was 10/10 Crust was perfect as well as the sauce! Highly recommend! We loved it! My friends also really liked their in house made garlic deep I can t believe I passed by this place so many times and tried it only now!

L O V E L Y pizza that stays open for your late-night cravings. A must visit/a hidden gem/all the cheese you need

The food was delicious. The service was amazing. The atmosphere was warm. We got there late at night, and the service was surprisingly so attentive and helpful. We were given extra chairs and offered garlic oil, parmesean, chilli flakes - top tier service. I commend Mario and his team We got the funghi and the de Mario pizza, both options you cannot go wrong with!

Super friendly staff and the pizza was great especially considering it was 2am. Definitely would come back.

This is your next local pizza spot. Delicious and affordable pizza pies and slices. Next to Badiali s

Absolutely devoured everything quickly between my friends. Tastes authentically like something you could cook at home, while being warm and melty in a unique way. Cant wait to come back here again

great service and food
