Big Slice Restaurant

This place is amazing! Great good, reasonable price, a server that’s SMOKING hot. Everything! I particularly like the Greek salad, the beef lasagna, and the mushroom/​pepper/​onion combo. Wowza! The atmosphere is open and inviting for families, but not overly loud, so it isn’t off-​putting.

Three stars??? Seriously way better than that. The calzones are excellent and the sauces are all homemade and very delicious. We’ve been coming to big slice for years. Recommend lunch or dinner as the late night crowd can get a bit dicey. This is place is a gem.

I love love love The Big Slice.
You can’t get anything better than this place: great pasta, garlicy-​bread and fabulous pizza.
The service is great and its super kid friendly.
I always leave very happy with leftovers for home.
Best. Ever.

Great pizza. I’ve tried lots of different pizzerias in Toronto but this one wins it. It’s on the exactly right curve of quality vs cost. Big Slice’s pizza does everything right! There is a pick up special for a large pepperoni on their website.

Don’t bother even going in. The pizza is terrible, the pasta tasted like it was out of a can, and the staff, in Italian, make fun of the customers. When I asked him, in Italian, why he doesn’t say it in English if he felt so strongly, his eyes nearly popped out of his head and he ran into the back like the coward he is. Since the business thinks of their customers so poorly, don’t give them any business, the locals aren’t.

This place seemed homey at first and staff were welcomung but when I took a look at the pizza I ordered when I got home I noticed that the dough was barely cooked and all the toppings appeared to be in separate piles. The onions looked like they were the on on last minute, and I even asked for well done. Wasn’t impressed.

I always come for the same dish every single time. Chicken fettucini Alfredo. Never disappoints! Decent price. The service lacks at times

My partner and I needed a place open on a late Tuesday night to eat, and luckily we found this gem in our neighbourhood! Oh my god, delicious food, amazing prices, lots of drink options — it is a student’s dream! I wish I had discovered it earlier. Best of all, the service was great. Our waiter was so friendly and we stayed 15 minutes at the end just talking to him about school, art, and other things in general! I will be going back probably every week on those nights you just don’t feel like cooking. I highly recommend it for everyone in the neighbourhood as your go to regular place for drinks or food.

The first time I went to Big Slice was late on a Friday night. This place seems any time I walk by it day or night, so if you need your fix of Italian food at odd hours, this is your joint. The first thing I tried here was the lasagne and garden salad. Unfortunately, this was not their best showing. The lasagne lacked any flavour, other than salt salt salt. The salad was super greasy and drenched in dressing. I have been back since because it’s super convenient and a great value and I’ve discovered the secret… it was in the name the whole time… get the big slice! The vegetarian pizzas are gigantic, full of peppers, tomatoes and mushrooms. Even with all these toppings, the crust manages to stay structurally sound and it gets an extra bake when it’s re-​heated for take-​out (which is usually what I get). Don’t come here looking for gourmet, come here for the Big Slice as the name implies.

My husband and I always share the «Big Plate» here, $ 11.75 for 4 items and 2 pieces of garlic bread. We usually order the beef lasagne, penne Alfredo, a «Big Slice» (get it?) of pepperoni pizza, and a sausage. The portion is generous, and we always leave here full and satisfied. Food is good, price is great, staff is friendly, atmosphere is casual. We like coming here whenever we are craving for some carb.

Worse customer service ever! I would never order from them again. In my whole life was never treated so poorly over the phone.

First time ordering here and was not disappointed.
Ordered he #1 special — medium pizza, wings and 2 Coles for a very fair price $ 20
Was told they where super busy so it would take about an hour which was fine and I appreciated the heads up from the guy who took the call
The pizza and wings were fantastic and it was more then enough food for the two of us
Will be ordering again no doubt!

The food is salty!!! the bathrooms smell like urine. I had a table near the bathroom once. and everythine that door opened all you could smell was piss. old piss… disgusting.
The prices are reasonable.

I had the meat lasagna, and 2 glasses of house red. The 3 staff I dealt with were all very nice. The lasagna was large and came with a very good not-​small salad and two large pieces of garlic bread. While this is not great quality, it was still yummy and filling, and for the price and good service it has instantly become my go-​to Italian local.
Bonus: big patio.

I don’t know why this place is listed as ‘$$’ when it should be ‘$’
$ 4 import beers, huge portions and really low prices!
The food is what it is, nothing amazing or jaw dropping but never really disappointing.
As long as u let the servers know you’re sitting on the patio the service is timely.
Open til 1am weekdays, and 5am fri-​sat it’s a perfect local greasy spoon :)

Perfect for take-​out when you have a salt/​carb craving. I get a craving for Big Slice about every 6 – 8 weeks! Also great hangover food, obviously.
I would not eat-​in at the restaurant, generally, unless I had to (or was drunk — they are open SUPER late for this very reason)… take-​out is better for me. I usually just walk in the side entrance and order at the counter & wait (10 minutes on average for my order to be ready)… you can also call ahead. And they deliver! I think the minimum is $ 15 for that. Again, good for hangover days.
I like the pizza slices, it’s good to get a slice when I have a pizza craving and don’t want to order a whole pie. The slices are BIG! …and have lots of toppings. The last Hawaiian slice I had had SO much ham that it was actually a bit much. One slice from Big Slice is def enough to fill me up. I take it home and shake on some FRANK’S hot sauce… nom nom nom
Mostly, I order the Tortellini or the Ravioli with Rose sauce, or sometimes the spaghetti with meatballs. You can also get a Big Plate to go, which is awesome if you want to make your own concoction (i.e. 4 of whatever — Penne with whatever sauce you want, mushrooms, onions, veal cutlet, lasagna, meatballs, potatoes, sausage, slice of pizza, etc etc…)
I’ve never ordered a whole pizza, never tried the wings or panzerotti, and I don’t really bother with the salads, so I can’t speak to that. I’ve had the Veal cutlet sandwich many times too, and it’s exactly what you’d expect — yummy and messy. I usually need a nap after eating one of those.
It’s NOT gourmet, but who cares. It’s one of those places that you can get hooked on, and then you are theirs for life! It’s the Big Slice and I hope it never goes anywhere!

My last trip here broke my heart. We’ve been ordering take out about weekly for work. It has always been five stars. You can get this thing called a big plate where you can pick four items and end up with enough food for three meals but you eat it all anyway and need to nap at work to avoid death. As an example, I often get a slice of pepperoni pizza, mushrooms, lasagna, and penne alfredo which they serve with garlic bread for some ungodly reason. The lasagna is always meaty, cheesy, and amazing. The pizza is thin and greasy and cheesy. The mushrooms are a big portion and good to balance out all the fat. You can also get chicken, veal, sausages, rice, whatever. Did I mention it’s only $ 12?
Anyway, I went to dine in one day because I’ve loved everything I’ve eaten via take out before. It was like a different place. The pizza was overcooked to the point of being charred black, the crust was thick and flabby in the middle and the top was dry, none of the drippy grease I crave. Lasagna was super tiny, like a half of what they usually give me. I got rice instead of alfredo and it took up a full half of the plate. I don’t need an entire half of a deep dish plate of plain rice, you could have saved the space and ripped me off less on the lasagna. I was so disappointed that I haven’t been back since.
Three stars because it’s always been flawless before. Hopefully next time will be back up to standard.

Quite bad food. Pizza was over cheesed. Killed about 5 wasps. I’d go back for a take out order, but not really a great place to sit and have a nice meal.

Walking down St. Clair looking for a patio, and came across this place randomly. We both ordered a chicken Cutler sandwich, with a can of coke. Came up to around 18 – 20 $. Very filling, but somewhat lacking in flavour. The onions and peppers were cut into large squares, pieces kept sliding out. A little sloppy for that price.

While it is a little crappy inside, I didn’t mind because it has a certain… je né sais quoi that is homey and comforting.
Seems like a little place that people in the neighbourhood have been going to for years, like a little hole-​in-​the-​wall hidden gem.
I had the grilled veggie sandwich (that has goat cheese…*drool*) and it was delicious! The price wasn’t too steep either ($ 4.95) so that was a win. I had a taste of my friend’s veal sandwich and it was fabulous — not the best I’ve ever had but nothing to dismiss either.
I’d definitely go back in the future.
