It doesn’t matter if you’re hungry, on a diet or it’s 2 o’clock in the morning, if someone mentions pizza, then you’ll find yourself drooling and all logic will be thrown out the window. Pizza usually has that effect on people, especially when you start being exposed to that mouth-watering scent and lay your eyes on the melted cheese oozing out of it. Pizza is one of the best comfort foods in the world, so if you’re in Canada and wondering what can make your tummy happy, here are the best restaurants that will definitely satisfy your pizza cravings. We also have curated a list of the best restaurants in San Angelo, TX.
Omega Pizza and Wings
There’s a reason Omega Pizza and Wings is so special and it’s not just because of that incredible duo. When it comes to this restaurant, you can find unique options that will make you go bananas. Whether you’re in the mood for a true Italian taste or looking for a vegetarian option, you’ll find a signature pizza that’s just perfect for what you crave. You can also choose one of the specialty pizzas that only consist of 3 toppings. So, if you’re in the mood to try something new every time, you can pick 3 different toppings and compare until you find your absolute favorite.
Anthony’s
There’s something about wood-fired pizza that makes it feel so authentic. Located in Toronto, this pizza restaurant will not disappoint. If you’ve ever been to Italy, you’ll know that their Neapolitan pizza is what they consider to be traditional Italian pizza. But why go all the way to Italy when you can experience the traditional Neapolitan-style crust right here in Canada? Just a heads-up; if you’re looking to add pineapples on your pizza, this place just won’t do it as the Italians would probably turn over in their graves. So, remember that authentic Italian pizza also means traditional toppings, such as cheese, basil, oregano, and buffalo mozzarella.
The Good Son
Located in Toronto, this restaurant is known for the amazing food it serves; however, when it comes to their pizza, it really is a comfort food that your tummy desires. Unlike Anthony’s, one of the things that makes The Good Son special is the unique toppings you can indulge in and experience a new love for pizza. Be sure to try their most popular toppings such as smoked pork cheek, roasted pineapples, and Scotch bonnet for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Pizzeria Gusto
It sounds pretty Italian, doesn’t it? And that’s not where the resemblance to Italian pizza ends. At Pizzeria Gusto, you can get a taste of one of the most satisfying traditional Italian wood-fired pizzas, charred to perfection with chewy crusts and topped with authentic Italian and fresh local ingredients that will absolutely make your day.
Chicago Style Pizza
Located in Hamilton, this restaurant is quite small and crowded, but well worth the wait. Their deep pan pizzas are no joke with a super thick crust, combined with their homemade sauces that are just to die for! For those of you who like the traditional thin crispy crusts, you can choose that option, too. This cute little Italian place makes pizza pies that are incredible, filled with a whole lot of sauce and stuffed with toppings that will make you forget about that pizza-sauce ratio that usually drives you absolutely insane. You can’t go wrong with anything you order here and the best thing is, their prices are actually quite reasonable. Don’t forget to order dessert once you’re done (that’s if you have enough room after all that pizza) because their Trimasu is to die for!
Maker Pizza
Whether you decide to eat out or feel like ordering in and indulging yourself with your favorite comfort food at home, Maker Pizza will not disappoint. Using Italian flour, water, yeast, olive oil, and salt for their handmade dough combined with a three-day aging process, the texture of the pizza crusts is the reason behind Maker Pizza’s fame. The pizza itself has that perfect round shape with an airy crust, topped with a tangy, salty, sweet, and slightly chunky tomato sauce made from organic tomatoes. You’ll find that the pizza here is a great mix between New York and Italian pizza.
Descendant Pizza
One of the best things about Descendant Pizza is that you’ll be happy to find that the dough-to-tomato-sauce ratio is completely different than what you’re used to. Detroit-style pizzas are unique due to the two-day-proofed dough that is set into oil-slicked pans and then loaded with toppings upon order. You’ll feel the magic in the caramelized crust mixed with a spongy interior. The combination of light and fluffy, but also sweet and savory with a perfect gooeyness to it makes the pizza one of a kind.
Morris East
With the chef who ranked 3rd in the International Pizza Expo, there must be something truly spectacular about this place. The combination of pizza ingredients along with the dough cooked to perfection, and you’ll figure out what’s so special from the very first bite. Don’t forget to try the chef’s signature pizza topped with poached pear, shallots, prosciutto, blue cheese, and tarragon aioli.
Pizza Via Mercanti
Famous for its two-layered pizza, it is definitely one you should experience. A mix of ricotta cheese, prosciutto cotto, mixed mushrooms, hot soppressata, and a top layer of Margherita is a pizza-like nothing you’ve ever tasted before.
Pizzeria Libretto
What makes this pizza joint special is that it has something for everyone. Even if you’re looking for gluten-free pizza or dairy-free, nut-free, or vegetarian options, you’ll find something that is just perfect for you. And the best thing is, they do not compromise on taste as each one is still extremely delicious.
You cannot go wrong with pizza, but there are places that make such incredible pizzas that they just make you forget the entire universe and indulge in the deliciousness of every bite. That’s what makes pizza so special, and with the options above, you’ll definitely be thanking your lucky stars for having gotten the chance to experience all that yumminess.
