The Best Pizza in Etobicoke: Five Spots Worth the Drive

The short answer: Pizzeria Oro di Napoli in Mimico for proper Neapolitan, Revolver Pizza Co. on Royal York when you want wood fired and New York style under one roof, Dino's on The Queensway for thin crust with a patio, Milano's on Bloor for the 1963 recipe, and Capi's on Dundas for a thin crust that has been feeding this borough since 1962.

We have done bakeries. We have done sushi, brunch and ice cream. Pizza was always going to be the list that caused trouble, and it did. Five spots, five completely different ideas about what a pizza is supposed to be. Yes, we probably left off yours.

1. Pizzeria Oro di Napoli, 2312 Lake Shore Blvd W

This is the one people drive to Mimico for. The oven is a Stefano Ferrara, built in Naples, and it does what those ovens do: puffed, blistered edges and a centre that stays soft. San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, nothing complicated. The Pizza Oro runs $22 and stacks house sausage, pepperoni and nduja. The Bufalina is $20 and is the one to order if you want to see whether a kitchen can leave things alone.

It is a full restaurant, not a counter. There is pasta, there is a serious Italian wine list, and the room is small enough that a Friday walk in is a gamble. Book ahead through pizzeriaorodinapoli.ca or call (416) 316-0606.

2. Revolver Pizza Co., 388 Royal York Rd

Just off Hay Avenue, Revolver refuses to pick a side. They fire wood oven pies and New York style out of the same open kitchen, the dough is made fresh daily and never frozen, and the toppings rotate with the season. If you have opinions about crust, this is the shop where you can test them back to back.

Seating is limited to a few bar stools, so treat it as takeout with a nice view of the pizzaiolo. Open seven days, 11am to 10pm, at (416) 252-2323. Menu and locations at revolverpizza.com.

3. Dino's Wood Burning Pizza, 820 The Queensway

Dino's sits about halfway between Islington and Royal York, and it is the least precious spot on this list. Counter service, a small patio, thin crust out of a wood oven, and a menu that also runs Turkish pides, wings and salads. Dough and sauce are made in house. The pide is the thing most people walk past and should not.

Hours run late for a pizza counter: 11am to 11pm Tuesday through Friday, noon to 11pm Saturday. There is a second location at 871 Kipling Ave. Call (416) 259-0050 or see dinos-pizza.ca.

4. Milano's Pizza, 3886 Bloor St W

Milano's has been on Bloor near Kipling since 1963, and the menu reads like it. The Special Deluxe is pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers, $25.00 for a 14 inch, taxes included. The Big Greek loads sliced gyro, feta, fresh garlic and both kinds of olives onto a pie, which is either heresy or dinner, depending on where you grew up.

Prices on their menu include tax, there is a cash discount on pickup, and delivery has a $21.50 minimum. Call (416) 622-0222 or check milanos-pizza.ca. This is the pizza a lot of Etobicoke people mean when they say pizza.

5. Capi's, 4247 Dundas St W

Capi's has been feeding families here since 1962, which makes it older than most of the houses around it were when they were new. Thin crust, traditional, and the kind of place where the order goes in the same way it did thirty years ago. It sits up on Dundas near Islington, a bit north of where most of these lists usually stop.

Order through capispizza.ca. Go with the Calabrese if you like a bit of heat.

Also worth your time

Mamma Martino's at 624 The Queensway is a pasta house first, open since 1983, but the pizza holds up and the portions are the stuff of local legend. mammamartinos.ca.

Why the good pizza clusters where it does

Notice where these five are: The Queensway, Lake Shore, Royal York, Bloor, Dundas. All older main street retail, mostly one and two storey buildings, mostly small units. That is not a coincidence.

Pizza is a low margin, high volume business. The economics only work when occupancy cost, meaning rent plus taxes plus utilities as a share of sales, stays low enough that a $25 pie still leaves something behind. Older low rise retail delivers that. A ground floor unit in a new mixed use tower generally does not, which is why the tower retail near Sherway or along the new Queensway builds tends to fill with franchises and clinics rather than a family running an oven.

The counterpoint: rents on these strips have moved, and a few of the older buildings are sitting on assembly sites that will eventually be redeveloped. Etobicoke has been rezoning main street corridors for years now. If your favourite pizzeria is in a two storey building on a wide arterial, enjoy it while the lease runs. What would change this read is the pace of those approvals slowing down, which is not what we are seeing.
