Pizza Pizza

I’m not a pizza snob. some pizza pizza locations are OK. this is not one of them. extremely rude staff

When my fiancé and his cousin planned the itinerary for our Toronto trip (the cousin is from Toronto, and my fiancé visited his grandmother and cousin there regularly as a child, so I left the planning to them), I was very surprised to see that one restaurant had such low reviews compared to the other places they suggested.
Pizza Pizza is not a restaurant you go to because it’s the best pizza you’ve ever had. You go there because it’s convenient, with long hours, a large variety of toppings, and inexpensive. Good for groups with different tastes, since everyone can get exactly what they want on their individual slice.
The service here was pretty deplorable– they were out of Hawaiian pizza, which 3 of 4 of us wanted, and they were extremely resistant to making a fresh pizza. After pressing the employee and asking if they were closing soon (the answer was no), he agreed to make another pizza if 3 of us purchased slices of it. He also forgot to ring up my drink, so I had to do two separate transactions.
The pizza is fine– not the best I’ve had but definitely not the worst, and the boys had such pleasant memories eating here in their youth that it was definitely a worthy stop. Also, free wi-​fi.

Why eat this stuff when there are so many good pizza places in Toronto. Any of those places make better pizza and would never invent ways to upset a customer. After ordering a pizza on line, this corporate enterprise:
1. Waited 30 min to confirm the order
2. Told me it did not count towards the «40 min or its free» promise
3. Asked me to wait another 40 min
That’s an hour and 20 minutes for a garbage pizza. I will never order from them again.

I always get the pizza square. It is $ 1.75 (taxes included). But you have to ask for the square. Almost every location hides them!!! The slice brings more profit.

I’m not sure why I loved Pizza Pizza so much when I was a kid… maybe just because they don’t have it at home. Either way, I was craving some pizza today so I went in here. Not overly impressed. I mean, the pizza’s not bad or anything, it’s just not very good. I won’t be back.
The girl at the counter was also a bit brusque…

We were coming back to our hotel from a Jays game and just wanted to grab something and take it back to our room. This Pizza Pizza was really close to our hotel so we went in.
I’ve never had Pizza Pizza before being from the West coast. I think they have them in Cineplex theatres, but no where else AFAIK.
They have slices available, but some looked like they had been out for a while so we went with their $ 14.99 deal ($ 2 more for XL). Any size pizza with 3 toppings, 3 cans of pop and 1 dipping sauce. It was pretty solid for 2 people and the pizza was fine. Might not be the best pizza, but I enjoyed it.

Pizza Pizza is the Canadian equivalent to Little Ceasars in the U.S. A chain of restaurants through Canada (known as Pizza 73 west of the Ontario), Pizza Pizza offers a variety of speciality pizza, wings, pasta, and salads, The food quality is good, however delivery service can be really sloppy as they do not include plates and utensils on orderes being delivered to a home or office. Even after calling (or putting a note on an internet order), they NEVER include plates, which can result in problems, especially if ordering food for a large group.
The fact that you can places orders over the internet is great and it shows the company is up with the times when it comes to technology.
This location in Yorkville, close to the intersection of Yonge and Church Streets offers very limited seating, and is usually busy during the weekdays (12:00pm — 2:00pm) and early weekend afternoons.

Pizza Pizza are the hot dog purveyors of the pizza-​world in Toronto, they are everywhere (Oh, pourquoi?) and their quality is generally less than par. They are your basic «I am starving. I want pizza. Oh… no better pizza place in sight? Oh, okay. Then I guess, Pizza Pizza it is.»
In fact their standing on top of hot dogs is partly merited on the fact that you can seat down at one of their locations, use their bathroom while chances are that you will eat a hot dog outdoors and standing. Since in reality they are almost the same price.
A few years ago, I read a review on Now Magazine hailing Pizza Pizza as the ‘best pizza’ in Toronto. Seriously? …You Maniacs! You eat it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell! :P
Anyway, the point is that Pizza Pizza overall is probably better as a delivered pizza than the many, dry and crusty pizza they sell you by the slice. Since if they made it to order, at least you know it is fresh. Unlike the carbon dating you wish you could do on some of those slices.
Now this particular location is probably a bit better than most simply because of the higher traffic forces them keep making new pizza. I have gone here when the hotdog vendor is not at Yonge and Bloor but generally, unless I am lazy at home and decide to pick i upt/​have it delivered, generally I do not bother with any Pizza Pizza as there are a few other places in the hood which are better.
As far as service, I never had any real issue with them and they seem service oriented enough.
Fun Fact: If you MUST order than do it online. Not over the phone, you get a few extra options if you do it, plus sometimes, depending on what you get it might be less expensive if they have a special.
