Toronto does a lot of things well, and of course that includes pizza – we’ve got plenty of awesome places to grab a hot slice of pie here in TO.
Pizza is something I can eat every single day without getting sick of it.
There’s nothing like hot, cheesy slices covered in delicious toppings.
I’m open to all kinds of pizzas, and yes, pineapple is one of my many fave toppings.
Whether you’re looking for authentic Italian pizza or Americanized pies, here are some of the best pizza restaurants in Toronto to visit!

They’ve got 3 types of pizzas: Neapolitan (fermented sourdough base with a charred crust), NEO-New York (similar to the Neapolitan but slightly thicker and layered with cheese and basil), and Sicilian (focaccia crust topped with crispy cheese).
Their NEO-NY Genoa Salami with their house-made chilli oil is *chef’s kiss*.
All of their pizzas can be made vegan and/or gluten-free – you can sub for their housemade vegan cheese or gluten-free crust!

Go for a classic Margherita pizza or try something more unique like their Mauna Loa (with smoked pork cheek, roasted pineapple, and scotch bonnet).
They use local, seasonal, and organic produce and hormone-free and free-range proteins in their dishes, most of which are cooked in their wood-fired oven!
The interior of their Queen West restaurant is super cool, and they also have a gorgeous restaurant in North York at Shops at Don Mills.

You’ll find Gusto 101 in an industrial-style building (once an auto body shop) by King & Portland, and they serve up some of the best Italian food in Toronto.
“Gusto” means “tasty” in Italian, and they serve up tasty modern takes on classic Southern Italian dishes.

King Taps
You wouldn’t think that such a chic spot in the Financial District would serve up such good pizza, but King Taps truly does serve up some of the best pizza in Toronto.
I adore all of their pizzas, but I’d have to say their BBQ Chicken and Stinging Bee pizzas are my faves.
We also really love their appetizers, and they switch up the menu every so often!
Their cocktails (especially the Frozen Margaritas) are also really good, if you’re in the mood for a drank!
King Taps is located right in the heart of the Financial District at First Canadian Place, so it’s super easy to get to whether you work in the area or just want to have a taste of the awesome food and drinks.
There’s also an outdoor entrance on King Street, and they’ve got a massive two-storey patio (which is covered with huge umbrellas for rainy days)!
