Pizzaiolo

I love that their pizza crust is thin and crispy! Good flavour and I’d like to try some other flavour in the future!

Great selection of slices at an expected downtown price. If you order a slice, they stick it in the oven for a little bit before serving it to you, so it’s nice and hot when you eat it.
I’ve tried the Gianni Ola (bacon, pepperoni, mushrooms, mozzarella, tomato sauce) and the Bianca (marinated artichokes, feta, garlic, olive oil, oregano, marinated zucchini, mozzarella).
I preferred the Gianni but the Bianca was a nice change of pace, albeit a bit acidic with the marinade. I feel like it could have been more balanced.
There is surprisingly quite a bit of seating for a small place, about 20 or so. I’m not sure if their air conditioning was broken or if this is normal for them, but there was virtually no AC at the front and the back felt cool. So if it’s hot in there (which it tends to be), venture to the back.
The dipping sauce was a flop. I got the creamy garlic and it wasn’t garlicky at all. The Pizza Pizza and Dominoes garlic dips are far superior — creamier and more garlicky.
Take a look at their menu online for all their options. All their pizzas are nut-​free and they have vegetarian AND vegan options too, which is refreshing to see.

What can I say?
Honest pizza store, well made pizza, tasted great.
Prices were slightly expensive, but what can you do, it’s Toronto.
Had the Honolulu (Hawaiian counterpart… is that term copyrighted?) Was delicious.
Would come back again.

I thought this was bland and flavorless, and that was the spicy pizza. The slices are big though, so if you are looking to load up on empty carbs for a reasonable price, this place would be ok.

For some reason I always ask what the price for each slice is. They always tell me that every slice is the same price, and yet I can’t process this! Anyway, I really like the array of options they offer, and the fact that they are not all thin crust pizzas. I personally like my crust fat! So whatever mood you are in, Pizzaiolo will more than likely have what you are looking for. And more importantly it will cost you under $ 5 with a drink, and the slice will fill you up (I hate small portions!). :)

Good.
Reliable.
Cheap.
Some healthy options.
Quick.
I think this is a decent quick pizza joint. Nothing outstanding but does the job and much better than say a Pizza Pizza. Every slice I’ve tried has been pretty decent but I do like the Spinotta and standard Pepperoni.
Hint: I’ve noticed it’s a lot cheaper to buy by the slice as opposed to a whole pie.

Good selection of pizzas. Similar to pizza pizza locations where you can pick up a drink and big slice (2 slices) for $ 6.

I love me a plain pizza. A nice crust, some mushrooms, and cheese, and I am in heaven. I took me a long time to find a place that made that kind of pizza here, but now, I feel like I will pass out if Pizzaiolio ever leavse me. =D
A nice thin crust pizza with mushrooms and double mozza with herbs and sauce and wow. So happy. We’ve ordered some of the more complex pizzas which are also good, but I am going to stick with this wonderful basic while my friends get the more exotic toppings. =) Which are really good too. We ordered one of the vegan potato pizzas and added cheese and well. It was Carb Heaven.
Basically, I love their pizza and am SO GLAD we found them. Yay!

Large «Bianca» thin crust pizza ordered from this location twice (while at work), and each time it was consistently greater than awesome. Highly recommended.

Wanted to catch something quick after work so I decided to stop by the Pizzaiolo location around the Yonge and Wellesley area. Now Pizzaiolo is a newer pizza franchise that’s pushing hard to gain the pizza lovers of Toronto. I found this to be especially true with a number of locations stretching up Yonge from Dundas to Bloor.
Pizzaiolo marks itself as a gourmet pizza choice with healthier and more distinct ingredients. They do have a relatively diverse set of pizzas so it’s not a bad idea if you want more than just the casual. I stepped in and got the pizza combo which is going for just under $ 6 after tax at this location. So it’s definitely not the cheap pizza choice like Pizza Pizza or 2−4−1. I got the meat lovers with a fresca. Pizzaiolo typically makes its pizza with a thinner crust and «gournmet» ingredients. And to be honest, this is evident in the presentation and even taste. The meat lovers pizza was nice and it’s definitely larger than the Pizza Pizza slices. So size wise, it does offer you more with the price tag. I found the pizza to be good and no complaints in general. A nice slight crunch with each bite and definitely filling enough that you won’t be crying for more food within an hour. And the amount of toppings with each slice was refreshing.
It gives you what Pizza Pizza use to in terms of amount of toppings. Is it me or does Pizza Pizza really stiff you on the amount of toppings nowadays. The same can be said about Pizza Hut too and I’m not ordering the discounted special. I’m talking 3 toppings large with stuffed crust or something. Friggg.
Overall, I liked Pizzaiolo. It is more expensive and sometimes when you’re just craving pizza, this can be too much of an extra buck when a McCain frozen pizza would do just fine. I would say they have a lot of similarities to Mama’s Pizza. In fact I have always had positive experiences with them. So if asked, Mama’s or Pizzaiolo, who would you choose?
