Maker Pizza Cameron

So glad the servers highly recommended a slice of Franks Best OG because my first bite gave me a pizza-gasm!!! I loved the sweet and savoury combo of the flavours. So damn delicious! I’ll be back for this real soon. Franks Best OG: Goat cheese, grass-fed mozzarella, caramelized onions, rosemary, sea salt, organic honey, sesame crust (applied with honey)

Always consistently excellent pizzas that taste fantastic! #1 best pizza in Toronto! Tropic Thunder is my favourite!

my boyfriend (a pizza chef in his own right) took me here claiming it was the best pizza he'd ever had, and wow they did not disappoint! as you can see, they definitely don't go lightly on the toppings, the crust is perfectly flaky and not too charred (as is common with many stone-baked joints), and the red sauce is to die for. dip wise, we did the creamy garlic and dill ranch, and i can't recommend them enough. on top of this, we waited outside the shop on a bench up the street for the pizza due to limited space in the shop and the lovely lady working *hand-delivered* it to us without us having to tell her where we were or even lift a finger - i only wish i had gotten her name to give her the praise she deserves; THAT is customer service! my only complaints are that a) as mentioned, there is very limited seating inside and b) the pizza is quite greasy (kind of a given though)... but neither of these should deter you by any means, because as an out of towner, ill be dreaming about this pizza til the next time i find myself in toronto. edit: came back again, still hits the second time around

Ordered on Uber Eats - Crazy long wait time. Also ordered the margarita and added extra toppings for the BOGO and all extra toppings were missing. The pizza it self was super sloppy and way too much sauce. Crust wasn’t too crispy and the over load of sauce just took away any type of cheese taste and there was hardly any cheese at all. Only saving grace was the garlic bread, which was good. Also the sauces and wings were also good. This was my second attempt at giving maker pies a chance after the first experience was the exact same. I would choose more spots over Maker

WOW. After eating at almost every top rated pizza place it Toronto, I wasn’t ready to be so impressed! It is the best pizza I’ve had or top 2 for sure (I’ve tried over 50 places). When you look at the prices initially, they are quite steep, but damn is it worth it. Be prepared to wait for a while as they are quite busy (this was on a Sun evening). I ordered through Ritual App for a pickup which sets the maximum wait at 25 minutes. But realistically it’s almost an hour. Worth it! If you like Neapolitan Pizza, you will not regret this. Guaranteed. If you don’t like it, please let me know and I will come finish it. EDITED TO ADD: they’ve updated their menu to have NYC style slices and tavern style. These are mind blowing as well. You can get individual slices as well.

Good pizza. Would I say it's the Top 5 in Toronto, maybe not ! Get the Thursday slice, it's VFM at 3.75. Mind you, it only from 11AM - 4PM. The marinara is pretty middle. It's neither tart, nor is it that fresh-sweet. That breaks it for me. The crust is good. Medium firm hold, good char on the under carriage, decent chew. The cheese is mediocre. It's either overcooked or it's bad quality that breaks down its fat & makes the pizza overly oily. Tried the Franks best & Sweet pesto. Franks best was overly sweet from the caramelized onions & the Sweet pesto was overly salty. Also, they don't provide Chilli oil, even when offered to pay.

I never write bad reviews regardless of the experience, but this has pissed me off so much I’m compelled to write this. Guys you really need to sort out your wait time. How can you expect customers to wait 3 hours for an order of 2 small pizzas + sauces. It’s ridiculous, I could have walked to your restaurant and back 8 times at this stage. I also could have ordered from Domino’s and received a delivery in 20 - 30 minutes. This is the second time that this has happened to our order with your restaurant. There’s something fundamentally wrong with your pizza making procedure, you’ll end up pissing off a lot of customer if you don’t speed your process up. I won’t be ordering again and I demand a credit or refund. We don’t even want the food at this stage, when it arrives I’m handing it back to the driver as I know it will be cold and soggy like the previous time. I gave your restaurant a second chance but there won’t be a third. When customers order food they understand that there could be slight delays but 3 hours is a joke for such a small order. By the way your pizza prep was circa 2.5 hours. The driver was 30 minutes collecting and delivering.

Long but informative review incoming. Maker is one of the best pizza shops in the city. Great quality ingredients, lots of unique flavours to choose from. I personally love them. I’ve been here for a lunch slice over 5 times and yesterday was the first time I was allowed to sit inside. Previously it had seating and tables but it was reserved for the delivery men or whoever was packaging boxes. Which didn’t really make sense considering there was 1 person and a large area for myself to sit, but wasn’t allowed too. Fast forward to this week, I had my slice and chilli oil. Both were great. Yes prices are a little much and the size of the slice has completely changed towards a smaller portion. But I still enjoy the quick bite. If maker could offer more options for slices, and stick to larger portions, I think you’d have more customers returning and perhaps line ups like most shops in NYC. Hate seeing a big brand change their portions and quality control once they’ve proven to be successful. Photo below shows size difference from last year and this year.

You want a really good amazing fabulous pizza that you can't get enough ... well Pizza Maker is the pizza you want! One bite and you want more. You don't get bloated or feel sick after eating it and especially no after bad taste. Try it , it is so worth it. The staff is great!

The pizza here is great, but even better is their $3.75 slice deal on Saturdays! We took advantage of this deal and got a slice of Frank's Best and Spicy vodka pep god. My fav was def Frank's best, highly recommend if you like onions! The honey sesame crust makes the pizza! The only thing I didn't like was when the server used his bare hands to put the slice of pizza onto the plate. I mean common, I have to eat that!

Was in the area and wanted some pizza, so made our way over to Maker Pizza. Been here before and knew they had a parking lot for their guests, so it was perfect that we were able to park there for free while grabbing our pizza. They're more of a take out spot, but have a long communal table if you'd like to sit in to enjoy your pizza. I got there around 1:30pm and there weren't any other customers in there. Ordered the Tropic Thunder and a dip. The Tropic Thunder came with mozzarella, chili infused pineapple, pickled jalapenos, pickled red onion, red chilies and salsa verde. It was good, but definitely not the best topping flavours mixed together that I've had. Personally, I like their pepperoni one better and would probably stick to that again next time. Pizza came out pretty timely, not too long or too short. Eating it in store was definitely a game changer, since it's so hot and fresh! Can't wait to try their margherita next as it's such a classic!

hosted my family and decided they HAD to try Maker Pizza. I ordered 4 pies for delivery and the timing and service was a breeze. now that I know how easy it is to order online, all other pizza spots can take a backseat!

I'm obsessed with Maker's Pizza, specifically the Frank's Best, add sausage ! As someone who was initially skeptical about 'bougie' pizza, I'm now hooked. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the best part? It doesn't leave me feeling guilty or bloated. Maker's Pizza has ruined me for all other pizzas - in the best way possible! 10/10 would recommend

Ordered Maker's Pizza on UberEats, went for Tropic Thunder and Frank's Best. Tropic Thunder was the top pick for me; loved how the jalapeños and chilies mixed with pineapple on a red sauce base - really tasty. Frank's Best was great too, with its white sauce, the sweetness from caramelized onions and honey, plus the sesame crust added a nice touch. Both were delicious, definitely worth a try. Looking forward to trying more of their pizzas.

Awesome pizza with incredible and creative flavours and topping combinations. Top pizza crust! A bit on the expensive side.

Venturing into Maker Pizza, I found it to be a bustling spot, more so than anticipated. The pizza dough was notably fluffy, a delightful base complemented by a variety of fresh toppings. While the pizzas, whether American or Italian style, were enjoyable, they didn't quite surpass the best I've had elsewhere. However, the overall experience was positive enough that I'm definitely open to giving it another try. It's a testament to the place that, even if it didn't top my pizza rankings, it still left me curious and willing to explore more of what they have to offer.

Maker Pizza is amazing every time! This is our favourite pizza place - We like Dr. Pepperoni and Napoli Dynamite!!

This is hands down the best pizza I've had in all of Canada! We got it fresh out of the oven and it was made to perfection. I've tried all of the sauces and each one has great flavour and compliments the pizza well. The dill ranch however was VERY salty. Too salty. Other than that, they should add an option where you can get the dips pre-added to the pizza (just like a shawarma plate, you can have the dips drizzled on the pizza). It'll just make for less make and make the pizza a little more saucy. If they changed those couple of things, then I'd give them a 5 star rating!

Fantastic pizza, great flavour selection, franks best is always a favourite but enjoy the rotating specials also Love the addition of the everything crust option!

Recently ordered the pizza from this joint. Had a pretty good experience . loved the garlic bread and chilli oil dip. Must try.

Excellent as always. Ordered 6 pizzas for a party and they were all delicious! Tropic Thunder was definitely a huge hit!

Matty Matheson... I just want to say you make the best pizza I've ever had! Maker Pizza is incredible, the crust is made to perfection and is loaded with toppings. My fav is Dr. Pepperoni...I always add sesame seed crust as they drizzle it with honey so it sticks and that extra sweetness just makes everything so much better! The price is higher, but it is totally worth it! If you download the app you can earn points every time you order pizza. The more times you order = FREE PIZZA!

My family has ordered many times from Makers over the years, and I have never written a review. Our most recent order was not up to all our previous experiences. The Avenue Rd. location remade one the pizzas and offered a free item in addition. Unfortunately, when I got home, we were disappointed with the product. I sent a response to the customer service department and received a prompt reply from "Octavia". I ordered using the app the Taverna style pizza instead of the Original. My Bad! Octavia was gracious and said it happens frequently and immediately sent a coupon for a pizza at our next order. Wow, what customer service! I do not need to affirm who our favorite pizza place in Toronto is! Best, Michael H.

Tried this place after hearing a lot about it. I am giving it a 4 star due to the prices. I tried the tropic thunder and the So Mushroom. I regretted trying the Tropic Thunder as I dont like pineapples on a pizza. The So Mushroom was good, with a delicious white sauce and the mushrooms really added flavour. I didn't see what was so great about the dipping sauce as its heavy with parmesan flavour. Overall the pizza is very greasy and filling and pricey. A worth it treat once in a while but can't say its my go to pizza spot from now on.

My friend is a big pizza fan and mentioned that this as one of his top pizza places to go to. He suggested the SIENA MARGHERITA and FRANK'S BEST. The margherita was very delicious, the flavour was pronounced and I really enjoyed the red sauce. As for the Frank's Best, it was my first time have a sweet pizza and so it was really interesting. I was surprised the crust was sweet but it surprisingly paired really well with the other ingredients like the caramelized onion and goat cheese. If I were to order from this place, I would have never considered to getting this pizza but luckily my friend recommended it to me.

Maker had a lot of hype so I eventually had to try it. The flavours were nice, but the substance wasn't there. Its a thin, floppy slice. It lacked the bite that one usually expects from pizza. There was nothing that jumped out that made it special. There are honestly many other spots in the city I'd go to before maker.

This was my first visit. I was excited to try their famous Napoli Dynamite, and So Mushroom. We ordered the two large pizza combos, which included two dips and four drinks for $70. The restaurant only had one table available. Fortunately, we were the only people dining-in at the time, and we were able to enjoy the food onsite without much waiting. All necessary dining amenities like paper plates, forks, and napkins were available upon request. Both pizzas were served promptly in 20 minutes. We were pleased to see the generous amount of toppings. What caught my eyes were the robust crust that was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Napoli Dynamite was an explosion of flavours - A tangy start with green olives, followed by crumbled house-made Italian sausage, and punctuated with pickled jalapeños. The combination of these robust ingredients gave the pizza rich flavour profile, reminiscent of a perfect marriage between Bolognese and Arrabbiata. So Mushroom, on the other hand, was more of a quiet symphony. Topped with sliced cremini mushrooms and an array of cheeses, it was slightly greasy but delightfully complex. The white base sauce added more depth. However, its sophisticated flavours seemed to be overshadowed by the presence of the more flavour-forward Napoli Dynamite. One minor issue was the inconsistent size of the pizza slices, with some being almost three times bigger than others. Some might overlook this, but I found it slightly inconvenient. Also, the dipping sauce options were slightly disappointing. I initially chose creamy garlic parmesan, but upon seeking another recommendation, I got the spicer variant. It merely added chilli oil and flakes to the original, offering little variety. In retrospect, I would have appreciated being informed about other flavours like the dill butter ranch. Despite these minor hiccups, our overall experience at Maker Pizza was quite pleasant. We were there for the pizzas, and I think they delivered on the quality. If you are in the area and in the mood for pizza, I think this place is worth considering.

This is my favourite pizza place in Toronto. That alone could probably be the end of the review, but I'll elaborate a little bit more. Try it yourself and you may also meet your maker. This is the kind of food you want when you're craving a special treat. Maker doesn't reinvent what a pizza is, they just nail the fundamentals and make a delicious creation, whether that be their regular pizzas or their tray pies. The cheese is stretchy, the toppings (especially the pepperoni) are super tasty, and even the sauce is well seasoned and excellent. Alone, each of those doesn't sound like much, but in combination, they come together really well. If you're someone who likes a lot of pepperoni on your pizza (like me), then definitely get the Dr Pepperoni. Order ahead of you can, as they can get fairly busy and the wait can be a little longer than expected if you order when you get there. Cheers! Check out @foodpharaoh on Instagram for more food!

Wow, truly some of fhe best pizza I've ever eaten! I had the 12 inch 'So Mushroom'. For me half of a 12 inch was enough for one meal. I am normally not a pizza fan because the dough / crust is often too dry, dense, and bland. Not, Maker's Pizza! The doughwas light enough that it was merely a vessel for the toppings (cheeses, basil, mushroom). Toppings were unique and very tasty b albeit oily. The crust is brushed with oil so you will have no qualms about finishing it. Total was $28.25 plus tax which is expensive compared to your chain stores but totally worth it.

Since the last three years, I've been looking for pizza that resembles the kind from Ninja Turtles; cheese that stretches when you pull, and a slice that droops to hold. Well, I finally found that here, and the flavor was too good! We ended up finishing a large which is equivalent to an XL, 8 big slices between the two of us. You can only get a half and half with pepperoni and margherita, but you're able to add toppings to the margherita so we added on mushrooms which tasted really good, and satisfied my craving for mushroom pizza. I recommend this combo if you want to do a half and half. They didn't have a dine in option available when we went, you have to order from their window in the parking lot, or call and place an order. Our large pizza took 25 mins to make which was pretty quick, considering how busy they are. I think this may be the best pizza I've had yet- for my preference. I also want to try few other noteworthy spots in Toronto to finalize my decision.

Lucky me I was able to try maker pizza a few times for lunch thanks to my work place that ordered it. I heard great things about this place and occasionally would passby and see a lot of take out, line ups and food deliveries. People would sit around the area on benches and just devour their pizzas and it always looks so mouth drooling. I've tried their Dr. pepperoni, Margherita, hot wheels, mushroom white and napoli dynamite. They're all pretty good pizzas, my favorite hands down is the mushroom. I'm a huge fan of mushrooms on pizza and it was delicious. The crust was nice, crisp and chewy, evenly cooked and the cheese was super stringy and loaded with mushrooms. Dr. Pepperoni looked pretty amazing, loads of pepperoni, my only concerned was that it was a bit salty for my preference and same goes with the other "red" pizzas. It's always a shame that I never remember to take a photo before I devour it, just too eager to eat it!

We got to try the Dr Pepperoni, Franks Best, and So Mushroom and all of them were delicious! I'm not even a pepperoni fan but theirs made with pepperoni cups/ ezzo pepperoni was delicious- so generous with the toppings . The mushrooms pizza was unique and very flavourful. I also liked all the sesame seeds on the crust of Franks Best, more pizza places should do this!! First time we ordered it was pick up. Second time we ordered for delivery via their app and it took 2 hrs :( Otherwise the rating would be higher.

$9.90 for a skinny (not thin but skinny) average sized slice and a bottle of very moderately chilld Brio? No thanks. While the pizza might be good if you bought a whole one, paying this much for a slice and a drink is ridiculous. And it did come just out of the oven so I'm not sure why it immediately seemed like it had been aged. Perhaps the utter lack of cheese... I had high hopes and only got a high price.

All I can say is YUMMM! We ordered the following for delivery: Siena Margherita (added sausage) Frank's Best Buffalo wings Lemon pepper wings Chocolate chip cookies Everything was delicious, our favorite was the Frank's best- it was unlike any pizza we've had before with the honey and the sesame seed crust. Definitely make sure you save room for dessert because the chocolate chip cookies are out of this world. Wings come with bleu cheese and unfortunately they won't allow you to substitute ranch so we paid extra for the ranch but it was delicious. Margherita Pizza

Finally tried this spot out. Frank's best was amazing for the first two slice, but after it does get heavy if you're not a cheese lover. The pepperoni is good as usual. The dough is on the chewier side.

I love all of Maker's pizzas. It's my favourite, especially the so mushroom and dr pepperoni. I recently tried the pineapple, yes you read this right, and it was wonderfully spicy. I double dare you to try it. Not at all like old school Hawaiian. Always arrives hot.

Expensive for what it is. They could use more cheese and more moisture in the pizza. They all end up dry and that limits the flavor

My trip to maker was a long time coming and thanks to my friends from Connecticut visiting, I finally gave this place a shot. We came here Sunday afternoon and were lucky enough to grab a spot out front and a table right away. This place specializes in pizza and that's exactly what we ordered. We split a large cheese pizza and also ordered a side of buffalo wings on the side because food is cool. The pizza here very much reminded me of a mixture between New Haven and New York style pizza, and they did a dang good job at it (although I'm not a thin crust guy). The pizza sauce was unique and delicious and the crust was soft which is exactly how I like it. The buffalo wings were pretty standard and enjoyable, although they definitely wouldn't say they were top of the line. Overall, I had a good experience at Maker and I would definitely come back in the future to try a specialty pizza. If you are in the Queen St East/Spadina area you owe it to yourself to check this place out!

My favourite pizza joint fo sho. The crust and sauce is definitely my favourite part. Crust is on point always - the dough is soft, nice and chewy... yet still able to hold the sauce and toppings without disintegrating. Sauce has a great fresh tomato and basil flavour, and it's not too tangy either. Ordered takeout through their app. Only downside was that it took slightly longer than what the app stated nor did the app update with the correct time.

We gave it a try. It was fine, but a bit of let down in that for the hype it had gotten I didn't find it as good as any of my locals (FBI, 850 Degrees, Revolver)

My boyfriend and I ordered delivery as I've heard rave reviews about it! We were def not disappointed - we got the Large "So Mushroom", which was $35 (delivery was $4). The crust was awesome - light, but still substantive. The pizza itself had an AMAZING set of toppings - enough mushrooms, and the different types of cheese they used were all unique in their own ways. Would def recommend if you're a fan of mushrooms. It wasn't too much or too little mushroom - just the right amount. Definitely a little pricey for a pizza, but I would definitely order again if I was feeling a little ~fancy~. I definitely want to check out Maker in-person once COVID is over. A quick note that we ordered around 7pm on a Saturday, and it took almost 2 hours to arrive - long, but using the Maker app gave us the time estimate beforehand which was nice.

I love all pizzas, but weirdly, I never order the pizza from Maker. No ma'am. I am all about their one sandwich, The Bodega. It is everything a bodega hoagie should be. Large, soft, piled high with cold cuts, a bit of spice. It rules. I recommend ordering it to your door directly through *their* app. Help any business get as much money as possible during this trying time. It's also important to mention, Maker is really on top of all things related to Covid-19 and regularly update their website. Check out to-the-minute info here: https://makerpizza.com/.

Have ordered Maker Pizza a few times, trying both the Dr Pepperoni and Margherita. Great pizza joint hidden on a small street just west of Spadina. They've built their own app for you to order which has been reliable for me both times I tried ordering. This is one of my go tos in the area for sure. The Pepperoni pizza is generous and might be a bit salty but is ultra tasty. If you haven't tried Maker, give it a shot. It is pricier but worth in my opinion.

This right here is one of the pizzas in Toronto. Maker pizza is a hidden gem, tucked away in the Chinatown area. With Matty Matheson standing behind the creative direction, it is without a doubt why the menu is filled with creative, bold pizzas. Maker pizza not only offers pizzas, but they also serve huge filling sandwiches and wings. With the recent pandemic, Maker pizza has a phone app that lets you order directly through the store instead of a third party app such a UberEats which makes it really convenient and ensures that 100% of the profits goes towards the store as well as the delivery person. My favourite red pizza is the Siena Margherita, with the classic flavours of the Margherita, the fresh basil, they add an extra layer of flavour with the added parmesan as well as two types of mozzarella.

Delicious za with great dough and toppings. My favourites are Frank's Best and the Return of the Mac (Big Mac pizza). Their spicy garlic sauce is pretty bomb too.

This is pizza done right. The crust if puffy and hollow, with the perfect amount of moisture and crispy balance. As for toppings, if you look at my pepperoni pizza they certainly don't skimp on the ingredients. For the price of these pizzas, they definitely make sure you get your money's worth.

They make any pizza delicious. The ingredients are so fresh, the dough is perfection (i think their secret is the sesame crust) and even though prices are a bit higher (~ $20/pizza) the only thing to complain about would be that you forgot to order the 2nd pizza !!! I've tried their pepperoni pizza (a LOT of pepperonis) & mushroom pizza and both are my go-to's. The latest one i tried was their Vegetarian friendly pizza the "Tea with Broccollini" with rapini, broccolini, mozzarella, bufala mozzarella, parmesan, lemon chili vinaigrette, chilies, fresh garlic, sea salt, pepper, lemon zest, egg. I THOUGHT it couldn't be as good as the meat ones.. I was SO wrong. This pizza is now moved to my GO TOs! Go enjoy it while it's on the menu!

It's kind of crazy that it's taken me this long to check out Maker Pizza. The drool-worthy Instagram pictures and rave reviews have been ubiquitous since the place opened, and yet it's only recently that I managed to sample one of their decadent pies. In retrospect, we probably should've ordered a more straight-forward 'za but neither I nor my dining companion could resist the lure of The Reuben ("montreal smoked meat, mustard beschamel, swiss cheese, sauerkraut, russian dressing, everything bagel crust"). It arrived a short time later and it's certainly an impressive concoction to behold. The pizza comes topped with a *ton* of all the aforementioned ingredients, so that each slice feels physically heavier than any slice you've ever handled before. And it definitely tastes like a Reuben sandwich. The various components are all of top-notch quality, and indeed, the 'za actually feels more authentic than some actual Reubens I've sampled around the city. But as a pizza... Well, it's not the ideal choice, especially for someone who's never sampled their stuff before. Though I could tell the crust was above average, I have no idea how Maker handles the more traditional aspects of a quality pie (i.e. the tomato sauce, the cheese placement, etc). So rest assured, I'll definitely be returning to sample one of the joint's straight-forward offerings.

We tried four of Maker Pizza's pizzas: dr. pepperoni, tea with broccolini, a regular pepperoni pizza, and the tropic thunder. I'm not typically a fan of pizza in general, but one of Maker Pizza's pizzas turned out to be a huge exception. That was the tropic thunder. It was such an incredible fusion of flavours that I forgot I was eating pizza for a moment. From the sweetness of the pineapple and picked ingredients, to the spiciness of the jalapenos and chili peppers, to the savoriness of the three cheeses they use, you can tell they put a lot of effort into coming up with such an incredible pizza. Spicy food haters beware however, the pizza itself is quite spicy! The part I dislike most about pizza, marainara sauce, was used in very modest amounts. It surprisingly went well with the rest of the ingredients somehow, and I'm glad they used it. This is in comparison to your typical fast food places that overload on this sauce, which made those pizzas taste awful to me. I would recommend Maker Pizza for their tropic thunder pizza in particular. That was amazing! Their other pizzas were okay. If you enjoy pizza in general, you would probably love those too.

Ever since first moving to Toronto, Maker Pizza was one of the top places that I wanted to visit the most. Why? Well first of all, I kept hearing about how amazing it was (blogTO calls it the #1 Best Pizza in Toronto), and secondly, I'm a fan of Chef Matty Matheson and this is his pizza place. First opened in 2015, there are now two locations. I headed myself over to the original location in the Fashion District (I only do the OGs) on a Saturday night. This place can get super busy and while the majority of people are doing take-out plenty of customers also choose to eat-in (such as me, always). There are only about 4-5 long communal tables available, so my first piece of advice is to arrive early if you want to guarantee a seat. The vibe of this restaurant is very laid-back, urban, and cool. You can feel it right away as soon as you see the giant mural on the side of the building which reads "PIZZAMAKER." Inside, the atmosphere is maintained with hip music, white-painted brick walls, and another large mural which reads "seven days with no pizza makes one weak." The opposite wall is stacked high with pizza boxes. The black-yellow-white branding is visible everywhere. The staff is busy and decently friendly. After approaching the counter to place our order we waited at our table until our pizza arrived. It didn't take too long. I would say that the wait was roughly 15 minutes, which seemed entirely reasonable considering that they were very busy with customers and making each pizza to-order. There is a cooler to the left of the counter that is stocked full of Brio, which I applauded. Clearly this place is well aware that the only acceptable beverage to go along with pizza is a Brio. Brio is a chinotto-flavoured cola with a bittersweet taste. Fun fact: The brand was invented right here in Toronto! It accompanies pizza perfectly and really helps to balance out all of the savoury and sometimes spicy flavours. This menu was tough because there are so many good choices. The pizzas come in two types: Red or white. There are six in each category. They also each come in two sizes (small 12" and large 16"). In addition to this they also do a sandwich and wings. (I really want to try the sandwich (called The Bodega) a lot. It sounds and looks incredible. I'm probably going to go get one tomorrow.) We decided to order one red pizza and one white pizza in the interest of experiencing the "right" things, however the decision of which pizzas to pick was still super difficult. Starting with White, it's difficult to ignore the dine-in only Return of the Mac, which is basically a Big Mac burger in pizza form. But I had heard quite a lot about Frank's Best (Caramelized onions, goat cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, rosemary, sea salt, organic honey, sesame crust - $17.00 for small) and went with that one. It arrived first, served right in it's pizza box (regardless of whether you're eating in or not). They have paper plates should you require them. Biting into this fresh-from-the-oven pizza it was clear immediately that the balance of flavours in this 'za were combined perfectly. It was sweet, tangy, herby, and all-around beautiful. I was dazzled by the crust right away. I find that an amazing crust is truly the element that sets a great pizza apart from the rest, and this crust was ideal. It was light and crispy, yet had a lovely chew to it. I adored the sweet caramelized onions, the super cheesiness of it all, and enjoyed the unexpected savouriness from the rosemary. And of course the honey - you can't go wrong with honey. I'm not even someone who is "crazy for pizza" and I absolutely loved this one. Onto the Red, I found it even harder to choose in this section. The Napoli Dynamite seemed like a typical choice for me but the Dr. Pepperoni sounded like a true classic. In the end, the Real Pep God (Pepperoni, cooked sauce dollops, extra mozzarella, bufala mozzarella, parmesan, chili flakes, fresh garlic - $17.00 for small) felt like a solid mix of everything (I really wanted something with pepperoni on it). Isn't this exactly what a pizza should be? This one was pretty wet and sloppy but also entirely satisfying. I loved the plentiful and delicious little pepperoni circles and this pizza was truly drowning in cheese (there is no such thing as too much cheese). I'm a big fan of a saucy situation on top these days and really enjoyed their ultra-fresh tasting tomato sauce. The chili flakes brought a nice little punch of heat too. However, of the two pizzas, I'd say that Frank's Best is the one that really impressed me. There is one dessert on the menu and it's the Maker Cookie ($4.25). There's always room for a cookie, amirite? These sit next to the cash, daring you to ignore them. Which you can't. I liked that they look truly homemade. Jam-packed with chocolate, each bite seems to contain more chocolate than dough, which doesn't seem to be a problem. A perfect classic cookie. The ingredients at Maker Pizza are of a very high

Maker pizza does not fail. This has been on my rotation of go to spots for years. The pepperoni pizza always blows my mind how tasty it is!

The dough is incredible, the crust is a really great bite. Pizza is a bit oily, but taste is still there. Great pizza option for the east end.

I got Frank's Best White pizza. I think the pizza would be great without the goat cheese. I ended up waiting a while even after ordering ahead. I get that it is a popular place however I didn't have the best experience here.

I had a late lunch today at Maker Pizza. I love love love pizza and Maker Pizza been on my radar for a while to check it out. Plus Jeremy Taggart had listed it as a place to check out in "Toronto in Canadianity: Tales from the True North Strong and Freezing". I ordered a Dr. Pepperoni pizza (with no parm). It was a really good pizza. It was hot hot hot when it came out of the oven and was served in a box. It was cheesy and there was lots of pepperoni. I liked the crust ... it was soft and chewy. It was greasy and messy as the pizza started to cool down, which I didn't mind ... I just used a lot of napkins. I'll be back!

I like the Frank a lot. I am a goat cheese girl and who can say no to caramelized onion? As for the crust~ They add sesame on the it. It's crunchy outside and chewy inside with the right amount of softness. Anyways, the pizza is savory and sweet! Beautiful!! I personally don't like the pepperoni. It's a bit too greasy and salty for my taste. Sometimes when I woke up from my dream and found myself thinking about it. If you ask me what is it? I'll say it's love.

Pizza was ordered 1 hour and 45 minutes ago and still not delivered. Called the store twice and no refund or reason or apology offered. Unable to track the order on the website.
