Pizza Park

Is this great pizza? No. Do the slices on display look pretty gnarly? Yes. But, these are the only real downsides to this greasy ‘za nook across from one of my fave parks.
If you’ve got 15 minutes before your picnic in Christie Pits, you can get a fresh medium pepperoni for $ 6. Hooray. It beats the crap out of Pizza Pizza or Dominos in taste and price, and has that same satisfying, so-bad-it’s-good feel.
I hope you have a very happy picnic!

Stopped in to grab some slices to accompany my brewskis in the park. Solid slice. I’ll be back for sure. Probably tomorrow.

Everyone can sing, not everyone can sing well. Everyone can make pizza, not everyone can make pizza well.
Pizza Park is not a franchise chain. It’s not greasy like Pizza Hut and doesn’t taste like cardboard as so many Domino offerings do.
Their pizza is not cooked in a Tuscan inspired brick oven and they don’t have white truffle shavings as a topping option. Due to this individual slices and full pies are available on the cheap.
Pizza Park isn’t trying to be something it’s not. They sell pizza and their located across the street from a park. It’s that simple. A hidden gem.

Cheap and quick. The only two words I care about when we’re talking about pizza in this area. They do both of those things really well. I know the pizza isn’t great but I still enjoy it.

I suppose it’s not TOTALLY fair to give this place a 1 star review, given that I never actually got to EAT anything on the menu. Let me tell you a little about my Friday night.
Arriving home, exhausted, my partner and I decided that our weekly «date night» would be comprised of ordering a delicious pizza and watching American Netflix in bed (I know, how romantic can you get?!)
We knew this place existed (it’s a few blocks away from us), and after reading some fairly positive Unilocal reviews, I opted to order online (as suggested multiple times on their website,
). The following occurred:
1. I attempted to order the Pizza Park deal– 2 medium pizzas with 4 cans of pop for 19.99. The interface of the website made the drop down «toppings» selections nearly impossible, and required multiple «reloads» to ensure that I could actually make the order.
2. From the list of toppings, we were unclear as to whether «cheese» comes on all pizzas, as «cheese», «extra „cheese“, „cheddar“, „mozzarella“ and „ricotta“ were all options. Yikes.
3. My partner and I both painstakingly chose our toppings (4 each), I followed the prompts, and completed the order.
4. After 4 minutes of not receiving an email confirmation or phone call (which I am used to because of justeat or orderit) I got worried. I called Pizza Park directly.
5.
PP: „hello?“
Me: „hi, is this pizza park?“
PP: „yeah.“
Me: „Hi, okay, I’m hoping you can help me“
PP: „What do you want?“
Me: „um… I ordered a few minutes ago online, I just want to make sure that my order went through?“ (I’m a spazz and we were HUNGRY)
PP: „no. it didn’t“
Me: „So there is no online order showing up?“
PP: No. what’s your name?
Me: Sara Malkin. phone number: xxx-​xxx-​xxxx. Is my order there?
PP: No. don’t use the website next time. (I’m sorry– did a company just tell me NOT to order online. when their website CLEARLY prompts that?!)
Me: Okay… I“m just confused as to where all of my information went. I provided my address, phone number, all of that online. Where did that go?
PP: I don’t know. Do you want to order or not?
Me: (SHOCKED AT THE RUDENESS) um… okay. Can I have the Pizza Park classic?
PP» What is that?
Me: (reads the entry /​description on the website) 2 pizzas, 4 toppings each, 4 cans pop.
PP: Yea. we don’t do that
Me: Well then why is it advertised on your website?
PP: Its not. you’re thinking of justeat.
Me: No I’m not. I’m looking at your website right now and I’m reading that directly.
PP: Oh. So you ordered on OUR website?
Me: YES! Does that mean you have my order?
PP” No. What do you want?
Me: Okay, well I want that combo. On the first pizza, I want ricotta, chicken.
PP: Chicken counts as two toppings. What is ricotta?
Me: The website doesn’t say chicken counts as two… Ricotta is cheese…
PP: Chicken is two toppings and we don’t have ricotta.
At this point, I was almost hysterical given that the above conversation made almost NO sense to me and was easily the most frustrating and worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Based SOLELY on the way I was treated on the phone, the lack of customer service, the disconnect between online and reality, and that when I asked about the chicken I was borderline scolded. Pizza Park is not somewhere I will ever give a second chance.

Really good, similar to Pizza Pizza in look, but does not taste like cardboard like Pizza Pizza. good mom and pop place to grab a slice

My best friend lives around the corner from here so we came as soon as the doors opened. I may not be the best person to ask about gourmet pizza’s and fancy sit downs but as far as pizza goes on weekends and late nights, this really is the best joint.
Ive always had good customer service, great prices, quality of pizza is so worth it I often travel from the east end to pick some up. By far my top spot!

C’est pas cher (11 $ la pizza large avec 3 toppings), c’est ouvert tard et le personnel est sympa, que demande le peuple?

It’s good and it’s cheap, what more can you ask for out of a pizza place?
I wasn’t expecting much walking in here. The restaurant itself isn’t the nicest looking place but it’s fine for what it is. The guy behind the counter (owner?) was nice but was a little hard to understand.
I placed my order of a medium pepperoni pizza (Wednesday special for $ 4.99) and then took a little walk around the neighbourhood while I waited for it to be made. When I came back it was just coming out of the oven.
It was a nice night so I walked across the street to Christie Pits and saddled up to a picnic table to enjoy my pie. And enjoy it I did. The crust is good, not greasy and not dry. There’s a nice amount of cheese and they weren’t stingy on the pepperoni. I have absolutely no complaints.

I live near Christie subway station and discovered this place one night on my way home from work. It’s just opened and pretty good. I really dislike chains so always like to find new Mom & Pop locations to check out. Not the best pizza I’ve ever had, but definitely worth it after a long day. Prices aren’t bad and the guys in the shop are always pretty friendly. They have the usual array of pizza choices, and their Santa Fe pizza is quite good. All in all, not bad.
