King Slice
1130 Queen Street, Toronto, ON L4Y 4C5Behold on of Queen West’s most beloved pizzerias for a late-night, foot-long slice (the downtown spot is open til 4:30 on the weekends and serves up its extra-long slices on not one, but two plates). But King Slice is also a prime option for pizza delivery, alongside offering other Ital options like pasta al forno and saucy sandwiches. Addition location at Bloor and Dundas West for hungry west enders ;)
San Francesco Foods
10 Clinton St, Toronto, ON M6J 2N8San Francesco recently added a store on Queen West near Bathurst, but the original on Clinton Street has been a Little Italy fixture for more than 60 years. My parents used to buy their signature sandwiches there and then eat them at the neighbouring bar. There’s a full list of meats and vegetables, but the veal with eggplant and hot peppers wins every time. Be advised: the sandwiches are huge, so you probably won’t need much else.
North of Brooklyn Pizzeria
650 1/2 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1E4North of the real Brooklyn is Manhattan, where thin-crust New-York-style pizza originated. Toronto pizzeria North of Brooklyn riffs on the coy directional cue, proving that Canadians can do Neapolitan pies proper too. The Kale and Bacon is a hit, preferably with olives added. Deliveries are made by bike, so keep this in mind regarding the timing of your order.
Pizza Gigi
189 Harbord St, Toronto, ON M5S 1H5Easily the best pizza one can order at 3:30 am in Toronto. Pizza Gigi’s delivery zone is roughly bounded by King to the south, Lansdowne to the west, St. Clair to the north and Jarvis to the east. Hot tip: the go-to spot accepts cash only, so make sure your dollars and cents are counted before your late night delivery.
Ciccio's Pizza And Pasta
796 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6J 1V1An old-school Italian joint, Ciccio’s is known for its hearty pasta dishes, delivered piping hot, even on the late-night. Favourites include the penne putanesca and Spaghetti Mastriciana, although their meatballs (included in the Spaghetti con Poplettini) are great too.
Pizza Rustica Inc
8-270 Wellington St W, Toronto, ON M5V 3P5A favourite of celebrities – given it close proximity to the Rogers Centre and ACC – Pizza Rustica’s margerhita and signature Rustica pizzas are outstanding. The pastas are also huge crowd-pleasers, specifically the seafood or jambalaya linguine, and the braised beef ravioli. Hot tip: the bresaola and arugula appetizer is a must-try if you’re dining in.
Pizzaiolo Gourmet Pizza
416 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M5S 1X5In terms of more traditional phone-up delivery options, Pizzaiolo’s selection has something for everyone. From the meat-heavy Godfather to the vegetarian Primavera and the eclectic Thai Pie, all bases are covered. Got a huge group of people to feed? Pizzaiolo stands out as the best of the local big-chain delivery spots.
