I'm usually quick to voice my displeasure for Pizza Pizza. I always cringe when it's voted the best pizza in Toronto from various media outlets, but I'm starting to warm up to the location by my house -- mainly out of sheer convenience.
Growing up I used to adore Pizza Pizza -- and to this day I am impressed that everyone knows their phone number off by heart thanks to their legendary jingle -- but when moving to Toronto I quickly realised there are much better 'za options in the city.
Here's the thing: I am super lazy. Sometimes when I'm on my way home and I'm hungry it's hard not to take advantage of this location's walk-in specials. One of them is a medium-sized pepperoni pizza for $5.99! Even though a medium size is what small used to be, this is still a pretty great (and affordable) deal. They also have an option of picking any size pizza (including Extra Large) with three toppings, plus two pops and dipping sauce for $13.99. Hard to resist for a bachelor like myself. You can pop that XL beast in the fridge and cook it up the next day.
The pizza is definitely on the fast food tip. I recommend getting thin crust on anything because their style is very doughy. Avoid whole wheat crust because I got it a few years ago and it tasted like cheap, un-toasted bread. It was so bad that I couldn't even finish my pizza.
This location is right on the corner of Bloor and Brock. They seem to be open around 3am on most evenings. It's a huge space that is usually pretty empty when I get there, but it's nice and clean and the staff are pretty solid. Also, you can order online, which makes the whole process even easier.
