Pizza e Pazzi

Located in Toronto’s vibrant Corso Italia neighborhood, Pizza e Pazzi has been serving authentic Italian comfort food since 2011. The restaurant is a perfect match for diners seeking a genuine Neapolitan dining experience in a cozy, welcoming neighborhood setting. What sets this spot apart is its official certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN Member #370). Pizzas are baked in just 60 to 90 seconds inside a custom-built wood-burning brick oven imported directly from Naples, using traditional ingredients like Tipo 00 flour and fresh fior di latte.

Beyond the certified pizzas, the kitchen prepares a full-service menu of traditional, homemade Italian dishes. Guests can enjoy hearty options like pappardelle with earthy porcini mushrooms, gnocchi, and fresh seafood pasta, alongside gluten-free substitutions. Recent guests have praised the cozy, beautifully decorated atmosphere and the consistently excellent service, noting that the owner often takes the time to chat directly with diners.

While the restaurant offers a warm, sit-down dining experience, those looking for a quick lunch should note that the doors do not open until 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, though they open at noon on weekends. For added convenience, visitors can find Green P parking directly behind the venue, and those ordering takeout receive a 10% discount on pickup orders placed directly by phone.
