London has no shortage of incredible pizza joints. Condensing them into this short list was anything but a slice.
Whether you’re in the mood for an authentic Neapolitan style pizza or a classic New York pie, these pizza places have something for everyone. Without further ado, feast your eyes on our top pizza joints in London, Ontario.
Pizzeria Madre
Pizzeria Madre is an upscale pizzeria with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While some like their pizza heaped with toppings (we get it), Madre keeps things balanced with a 'less is more' mentality. They use only the freshest seasonal and artisanal ingredients on their beautiful wood-fired pies. Their sourdough focaccia is also one of the best we've ever tried.
Through Thick & Thin
Through Thick & Thin specializes in New York and Detroit-style pies. From regular cheese pizza down to exciting flavour combinations such as Jalapeno Popper and Eggplant Parm, the crust is light yet crispy, the sauce is tangy and the cheese is sweet and buttery. They also have some of the best pepperoni in the city. With glowing red lights, large windows and an interior reminiscent of New York street art, the space has an instant wow factor you'll notice from the moment that you pull up.
8 Piece Pizza
8 Piece Pizza is a newer kid on the block, but they’ve hit the ground running with seriously delicious 'za. Offering takeout and delivery, 8 Piece brings rich flavours, from classic pepperoni to their take on chicken pizza which boasts tzatziki, shawarma chicken, pickles, garlic tahini and a dill tomato salsa to die for. With both vegan and gluten free options, this spot is sure to be a crowd pleaser. They also have their own signature hot sauce that elevates any slice.
Doughboys pizza & chicken
Doughboys Pizza & Chicken has some of the most creative pizza flavour combinations around and they're all delicious. A personal favourite is the Big Zac which consists of mozzarella, seasoned ground beef, shredded bacon, tomato, white onion and pickles, topped with cheddar and Big Zac Sauce. And don't get us started on the sandwiches or chicken. You can't go wrong!
Zen'za Pizzeria
Zen'za Pizzeria specializes in creative, thin-crust pizzas. What we love most about them (aside from the fact that their pizza is delicious) is that they have options for just about everyone. With vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free features, you can enjoy a meal with friends from all walks of life (that includes us meat-eaters as well). Their ready-made, vacuum sealed pizzas to go are another highlight.
Pizza Projekt
Whether you're craving a traditional Italian pie or a Chicago deep dish, Pizza Projekt does it all. They import their tomatoes from Italy, source their produce and herbs locally and make their sauce and dough in house daily. Their crust doesn't contain egg or dairy. The menu at Pizza Projekt is vast so if you're looking to feast, this is the place.
Tony’s Famous Italian Restaurant
In 1961, with the help of family and friends, an Italian immigrant fulfilled his dream and opened Tony’s Famous Italian Restaurant. The original Tony’s, where Egerton meets Dundas, started by serving simple Italian dishes that were a novelty for many Londoners at the time. Now a staple in the city, Tony's is famous for a lot more than their pizza, serving up some of London's best Italian food. And did we mention their panzerotti? Drool.
Richmoor’s Pizzeria
Richmoor’s Pizzeria is a small, family-owned pizza joint that you need to check out if you haven’t already. They're home to friendly staff and incredible pizza with both the dough and sauce being made in-house. They’ve got a ton of creative signature flavour combinations with portion sizes equal parts hearty and delicious. We highly recommend the dill pickle bacon cheeseburger.
Formaggio’s Pie Shack
Formaggio’s Pie Shack is the local spot for delicious deep-dish pizza (although they do have other options as well). Their pies are loaded with toppings, and they put a focus on fresh, local ingredients including real tomatoes in their sauce. Bring your appetite because these pizzas are massive, with some weighing in at over 5 pounds!
Well, there you have it! There are far more than a few great places for pizza in London. Get out and enjoy some 'za.
