I called The Big Slice one night to see if they could deliver me a pizza. The man on the phone told me that they don’t. I wanted to discuss further but he hung up on me. I called back and told him that I really didn’t appreciate being hung up on him to which he blamed me for it. Hey The Big Slice I have some advice for you… Get your shit together!

Ordered a pizza. Got email confirmation on order. Called to check status of pizza over an hour later. Was told driver was on the way. Tried to call multiple times thereafter and no phone was answered and no pizza was delivered. Safe to say I will not be giving this place another chance. If you’re hungry and order here, make sure you have another place on speed dial.

I’ve been going to Big Slice for many years now. The majority of times I get great pizza there. The crust is great, as are the toppings and cheese. They use fresh ingredients there. Occasionally it not as good as it should be. I always ask for a slice from the last pizza to come out of the oven. If it has to be heated up again, I usually leave. I just think the fresh hot out of the oven pizza is great. It’s my goto pizza spot in Toronto. The décor not great, face it, it is a dive but it got great pizza!
Life is too short to suffer bad pizza.

Horrible experience. I don’t like writing negative reviews but the pizza I ordered was wet eww! There was also a hole in the box! Very questionable and the delivery guy did not want to bring it up to our apartment because he was afraid of dogs. we have a ten pound small very friendly dog.

What a gem! And I’m writing this primarily as a takeout and sit in for a quick eat type of review. The pizza is delicious fast food quality. You get massive pizza slices for the price you pay which is very minimum. Service is super fast and friendly. If your ever needing a hunger fix for cheap and are in the pizza mood this is your place!

It’s aight decent pizza but no match for pizza in the mtero NY or Philly. The crust was too thick for my taste and the sauce was bland. Service is aight they got to me pretty quick so I can’t complain. I would eat here again if I stay in a hotel near by but I wouldn’t go out of my way to hit the spot.

So I just called to enquire about if they deliver to my area or not and he literally just said we don’t go there and hung up. Like I was still saying thank you. Ew no manners gross!

The service is so-​so, the atmosphere is pretty basic, it’s a total dive, but the pizza is fantastic. And there’s no other place I have been to like it here in Toronto.
It’s what the name says it is: Big Slices. Each slice is approximately the size of your head, or of your head if it’s a perfect circle, a small pizza. The toppings are great, and there’s lots of them. It’s open until 5am most days, and the slices heat up quickly even if they’re not right out of the oven.
Price is fair at a little over $ 5 a slice.
Worth the trip! Go now!

Ordered delivery, sent the wrong sandwich and the pizza was without a doubt the worst pizza I’ve had in Toronto and basically all pizza in Toronto is garbage, that’s saying something. Essentially a frozen pizza from the grocery store

+ Big Slices
— Not so friendly staff
I’ve been going here for years. The quality of slice you receive depends on how long the pizza has been sitting out. When it comes fresh out of the oven, it’s the best, especially the deluxe slice (bacon, green peppers, pepperoni, mushrooms, extra cheese).
The staff is never that friendly when I go in. Would it kill them to be a little chatty?
For those that complain the slices are too big, just ask them to cut the darn thing in half? Problem solved!
Décor has gone downhill over the years, needs o be gutted and freshened up, properly.

They’re open late (’till 4am I think) and while their pizza isn’t the best in the world, it’s pretty good. The novelty of getting an over-​sized slice never really wears off.
I come here all the time because the unfortunate truth of the matter is that Toronto’s a city that closes early. It’s nice to have a few establishments around that brave the night and provide options.

Want to eat your pizza with hookers, bankers, and street kids? i quite like The Big Slice, because the portions are gigantic (as promised) and very reasonable — $ 4.50 for a slice and a soda makes it one of the best pizza deals in town.
The dining area is super-​sketch, and the staff are very unfriendly. But i didn’t come here for friendly service and to not get stabbed. i came here for pizza, dammit, and The Big Slice delivers. (Well, i don’t know if they ACTUALLY deliver, but the pizza is good.)

I had heard a huge hype about the big slice. I walked in there and saw 4 flies squirming inside the pizza display cases, the ambiance was dingy and had me looking for roaches and rats in the corners. Disappointed I Walked OUT!

Big Slice is located on Yonge just south of Gerrard on the East side of the street. Big Slice has always been a Ryerson staple and during the first year of my undergrad, I used to go there fairly frequently. Fast forward almost 10 years and it was time to revisit my old friend.
Big Slice is exactly what it claims to be — big honkin’ slices of pizza. And its pretty cheap too. They usually have a few different kinds of pizza available and one slice should be enough for most people for lunch. The crust isn’t super thick, its fairly thin, and there’s a good spread of toppings on every slice, no big areas of just cheese. I had a pepperoni and mushroom slice and there was a great amount of toppings on it.
Don’t get me wrong though, this isn’t the best pizza I’ve ever had and it’s not pizza I would necessarily choose if I had other places to pick from. But the proximity is key, the price is great and the food is decent. Service was very friendly and quick and if you’re a student, you get a discount of some kind. There is a pizza pizza down the street but their pizza is so awful that I’d take this over Pizza Pizza anyday.
This is basically cheap pizza for a cheap price — exactly what you’d expect for a restaurant in an area typically overrun with students. I’ll be back for sure and scope out the place a little more.

One star for being open at random times. And another star for being so cheap.
But there are other options around. There is a 24 hour McDonalds one block north of College, and 7 west is 24 hours is you want an actual meal.

This place has everything you would expect from a late night dive pie joint, loud as fuck beat that beat up techno music, hairy middle eastern guys behind the counter, vagrants outside begging for smokes, and greasy big ass slices of pizza.
If your drunk, hungry and in the area you will come here. Why? Because it’s the only fucking place open and it’s much better than that industrial strength cardboard they serve at the double name place down the street. So bring a few extra smokes for the bums, your appetite and you will leave happy.

Oh this place reminded me so much of home while in Toronto, Torontoians (is that a word) if you’re ever in DC feel free to stop by Adams Morgan and enjoy an American big slice of pizza.
Just like the giant slices of pizza in Adams Morgan, the quality of the slice and how much you’ll enjoy will change depending on how much you have drank. The drunker you are the more awesome you’ll think it is, if you’re totally sober or only slightly buzzed, you’ll realize that bigger doesn’t mean better.
I was in an in between place when I had The Big Slice, so the pizza was fine by me, they definitely don’t hold back on the size, are the ingredients the freshest? No. Is the pizza really delicious? No but when you’re drunk it will definitely hit the spot and satisfy any craving.
Also the best part of this place isn’t the pizza, it is the foolishness you see when you stumble in at 3 in the morning and are met by a sea of other drunk people looking for the same thing you’re looking for and that is fun plus a greasy over sized slice of average pizza.
Favorite part of the night, the dancing of what appeared to be homeless woman, I was sad she was homeless but oh so happy she was dancing.
Oh Big Slice good times, keep up the good work.
