5 Best Pizza Places in Toronto (2026)

Pizzeria Badiali is a two-location Toronto slice shop, with its original spot on Dovercourt Road and a newer one on Markham Street, built around a simple menu of scratch-made, house-sourced ingredients. It runs a classic slice-counter format rather than a full sit-down menu, and has picked up enough attention to land collaborations with brands like Miss Vickie's and Shake Shack. The shop still runs a walk-up counter model even after years of hype.

Edna + Vita is an upscale Italian restaurant inside First Canadian Place, built around shareable plates, cocktails, and a dining room designed for events as much as everyday meals. It isn't a pizza specialist first, but its Soprano pizza comes up unprompted in reviews from diners who otherwise came for the full Italian menu. The kitchen runs under an executive chef and general manager, with two private dining rooms alongside the main floor.

Fresca Pizza and Pasta has been a College Street fixture since 2010, founded by two Vietnamese immigrants who built the shop around affordable, from-scratch Italian comfort food. It's a no-frills slice counter, five dollars a slice, with the signature green sauce and garlic oil regulars specifically ask for. The shop has been covered by the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail over the years.

Pizzeria Libretto is a Neapolitan pizza restaurant with roots in Toronto's wood-fired pizza scene, using a 72-hour fermented sourdough base and offering both vegan and gluten-free crust substitutions. This University Avenue location sits inside a full-service restaurant format with antipasti, dolci, and a wine list, not just a pizza counter.

Pizza Karachi builds its menu around Karachi-style toppings layered onto a pizza base: Bihari kabab, chicken tikka, spiced minced beef, and halal meats, alongside stuffed naan and pasta options. It's a late-night spot on Queen Street West, open past 1am most nights and until 3am on weekends, blending Pakistani and Italian flavors rather than sticking to one or the other.
