Our Story, Our Passion, Our Pizza
Pizzaiolo was founded in 2008 by Antonio Rossi, a third-generation pizzaiolo from Naples, Italy. With a passion for authentic pizza and a dream to bring true Italian flavors to Canada, Antonio opened our first location in Toronto with just three employees and his grandfather's treasured recipes.
What began as a small neighborhood pizzeria has grown into multiple locations across Canada, but our commitment to quality and tradition has never wavered. Each Pizzaiolo restaurant still makes pizza the old-world way - with hand-stretched dough that ferments for 24-48 hours, San Marzano tomatoes, and wood-fired ovens imported from Italy.
Today, while we embrace modern conveniences like online ordering and a responsive mobile website, we remain steadfast in our dedication to the time-honored techniques that make our pizza truly special.
Pizzaiolo isn't just a restaurant; it's a piece of Italian heritage brought to life in Canada, and we're proud to share it with you.
We stay true to traditional Italian pizza-making methods, never cutting corners on quality or taste.
We source only the finest ingredients, from imported Italian flour to locally grown produce, ensuring every bite is exceptional.
We believe in being more than just a restaurant - we're a gathering place for friends and families to create memories together.
While respecting tradition, we're not afraid to innovate with new flavors and technologies that enhance our guests' experience.
