Founded by Italian immigrants with a passion for authentic pizza, Pizzaiolo combines traditional Italian methods with Canadian innovation. Our journey began in 2008 with a single location and a commitment to creating pizza that honors both our Italian heritage and Canadian home.
At Pizzaiolo, we believe that great pizza starts with exceptional dough. Our naturally leavened crusts develop over a 72-hour fermentation process, creating complex flavors and a perfect texture that can't be rushed. We use a blend of Canadian and imported Italian flours, creating a unique foundation for our artisan pizzas.
Every ingredient is carefully selected - from our San Marzano-style tomatoes grown in the rich soils of southern Ontario to our blend of premium cheeses. Our toppings are prepped fresh daily, never frozen, ensuring the highest quality in every bite. For those with dietary preferences or restrictions, our dedicated preparation areas ensure our vegan and gluten-free options meet the same exacting standards as our traditional offerings.
Our Quality Promise
We pride ourselves on maintaining the highest standards of food quality and safety. All Pizzaiolo locations are certified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, and we work directly with local farmers to ensure sustainable and ethical sourcing practices. Our commitment to quality extends beyond ingredients to every aspect of our business - from our eco-friendly packaging to our energy-efficient ovens.
Artisan Innovation
While we honor traditional methods, we're constantly innovating. Our seasonal specials showcase the best local produce, and our pizza builders allow customers to create their perfect pie. Our specialized cooking techniques, including our signature wood-fired method, bring out the best flavors in every ingredient.
