If you enjoy pizza you will find that Toronto has a number of delicious pizza joints. You will be able to choose from classic pizza restaurants and also from those that offer a more unique and non-traditional menu. For example, while you can definitely find pizza shops that serve the type of pizza that you are probably used to, there are also some shops that provide toppings such as lamb or salmon. If this is your thing, then you will be very happy to know that you can find it in Toronto. On the other hand, if you are more traditional when it comes to your pizza selections, you will find that you have plenty of options. While this is up for debate, in our estimation, the top 5 pizza restaurants in the city of Toronta are Terroni, Gigi, Bar Mercurio, Vivoli and Pizza Pide.

 

Terroni is one of the top pizza joints in this city of Toronto. They have thin, crispy and cracker like crusts. They also have delicious sauces that they make right in their restaurant using fresh tomatoes. You will also get to choose from a pretty good range of toppings. Some which include sausage, onions, gorgonzola, and mozzarella cheese. The prices are very affordable. You can purchase a pizza for around $14.

 

Gigi is another fine pizza joint. While Terroni has pizza crust that is thin and crispy, Gigi uses a thicker, chewier crust. They also use traditional toppings. Gigi has been in business over 30 years and have a great reputation in the city and the surrounding areas. You will find them on 189 Harbord St. If you need to give them call, their phone number is 416-535-4444. They will be able to answer any questions that you have.

 

Bar Mercurio also falls into our top 5 pizza shops in Toronto. They serve pizza with thin crust very similar to Terroni. They do offer a traditional style of pizza pie which is very delicious. You will find that the tomato sauce is yummy and the toppings are fresh and tasty.  Consider trying the pizza Mercurio which includes mushrooms, prosciutto, mozzarella and of course, tomato sauce.

 

Vivoli is another great choice. They use brick ovens to cook their pizza.  The atmosphere is very rustic, old world and classic Italiano. The service is great. The toppings are fresh and delicious. The setting is sort of upscale and not like you would expect from your traditional pizza restaurant. Therefore, dress accordingly. Nice jeans are a good choice. Vivoli offers a number of unusual toppings including salmon, capers and red onions. If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you may want to give this sort of pizza a try. If you prefer your pizza with meat, cheese and pepperoni, then you have this option as well.

 

Pizza Pide has some of the best pizza in all of Toronto as well. They serve there pizza up with a thin, crispy crust and lots of nontraditional toppings.
