North of Brooklyn Pizzeria

We got the killer bee and it was delicious! We're a big fan of the honey on pizza, especially with the jalapeños for a sweet spicy combo. The only thing is there's not a lot of seating if you are planning to eat in. Definitely would be back to try all the other pizzas.

Earlier pizzas were made so good and perfect. But this is my second experience continuously. While placing a pick up order mentioned them that last time got pizza all burned from bottom, and the guy who took order he assured that this time it will be nice and well done, but still got this in my yesterday’s order. So much disappointed with this. Will definitely think twice now before placing an order.

Finally got to try their famous pizza! Got a half-and-half pepperoni & killer bee. The pepperoni was extremely simple, thin, and delicious. By simple, I mean there wasn't a hint of any other ingredient besides what was on the pizza, but the quality of every ingredient was great. The perfect comfort pepperoni pizza! The killer bee was also quite good, my friend liked it better than I did, but overall I enjoyed the taste of sweet and savory mix of honey, cheese and tomato sauce.

Their vodka verde pizza is just the best!!! Also tried pepperoni but didn’t like it much, truffle and killer bee are pretty good, but vodka is insanely delicious, it’s in my top 3 pizzas list. Also, tried it once in another location close to Bloor and it seemed not the same, this location is way better.

Thank you Jeff for the wonderful service! The truffle shuffle pizza here is soooooo tasty! The mushrooms and onions were delightful, and I loved the dip that went with it. I think it was garlic and had a hint of lemon. It was so delicious, and I liked that it wasn't very creamy (the dip had a thinner consistency!) Massive portion, yummy thin crust pizzas, and just a heads up, I think they only do full pies here, not single slices! The space has limited seating, with 3 small tables, so it's common to order the pizzas as takeout! ☺️

Ordered Margaritas pizza and Garlic knots for take-out. Picked up as scheduled. Had to still wait for the side ordered. Ate it within 10-15 minutes. The pizza was not hot. A warm pizza is just not right. Didn’t enjoy.

The pizza was okay—tasty, but it didn’t meet my expectations for a great pizza. I ordered the large Killer Bee, but it didn’t stand out as anything special. The tomato paste was too sour for me, which affected the overall balance of flavours. Compared to other spots in the city, I find there are more unique, exciting, and flavourful options available. This one just didn’t leave a lasting impression. It’s not bad, but if you’re looking for something special, I think there are better choices out there. That said, the staff were nice and respectful, which I appreciated. My comments are just about the taste of the pizza

We heard about this place online, and it did not disappoint! If you are simply looking for great pizza, this is your place! We got the pepperoni, and it was perfectly cooked and tasted awesome! I highly recommend this place!

I ate here because of David Portnoy. The Margherita pizza was excellent and I agree with an 8.4 rating.

We got the Special Maui Wowie. It contains a shredded mozzarella blend, cream, double smoked bacon, jalapenos, red onions, and pineapple glaze. It was pretty good. Service took 10-15 minutes for the pizza. The seating area is small and the place was busy. But overall i'm satisfied with the experience. Would definitely go again.

Wowza - we've been wanting to try North of Brooklyn for a while and very happy with this decision. We walked in and placed our order for the Killer Bee 18 inch. It was around an hour wait time (to be expected, it was a Friday evening) so we just walked around/went window shopping - always lots to see on Queen St. When we returned, we were still a bit early so we had a chance to watch the team work. Everything looked like a well oiled machine - the team was very efficient and the size of their oven was impressive. It is designed to be more of a pick-up pizzeria versus a sit down, but there are 3 tables. Well.. getting to the actual pizza now.. it had a crispy, thin crust with a very nice bite to it. So flavourful - the honey was perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend picking it up in person and having a slice when it's still warm. I'm sure it will re-heat well but nothing beats a fresh hot za. Can't wait to try the other options on the menu!

This place is stated to be one of the best in the city and I had to come check it out for myself! There was luckily no line when we went and so we were able to order our pizzas fairly quickly. Within around 45 minutes, our two pizzas were ready! There is also the option of delivery and pick up which is convenient. Starting with the vodka verde - wow. This has to be one of the best pizzas I've had. The pesto on the pizza combined with the rest of the flavours on the pizza was out of this world. Combined with the creamy garlic dip, it was amazing! The garlic flavour was extremely prominent in the dip, which is ironically something I find quite lacking throughout the garlic dips I've had previously. With the Killer Bee, it's a little bit more of a sweeter pizza (which makes sense considering the honey on top). I still preferred the Vodka Verde since I'm a huge fan of pesto and vodka pizzas, but the Killer Bee was still yummy nonetheless! Not to mention, the undercarriage of these pizzas were amazing and the the thickness was perfect. The atmosphere of this quaint place was a little disappointing as there was a lack of seating, a lot of flies, and dark lighting. To be honest, this isn't a huge deal for me as the pizza was so good that it made up for all of it + most people do order the pizza to-go. Overall, this place knocked it out of the park for me and is definitely one of my favourite pizza places in Toronto now!

Ordered a pizza from here and it was delicious. It did take about an hour to arrive but it was still pretty hot when we got it. Tried the Vodka Verde and it was delicious but wish we could have added some more toppings to it. The app didn't allow us to. The sauce was nice and creamy. The dough was a great crispy texture. We also got the garlic dipping sauce that tasted great. Overall would try again for the other pizzas

Tried it again, still not very good. Overrated and expensive. Revolver pizza is a much better option if you are in Etobicoke

This place hates its customers. Here's how their online order system works: 1) They estimate a delivery time in advance of your order 2) You order and PAY 3) They give you an updated delivery time that is completely unhinged from what they first told you. 4) (In our case, the "updated" delivery time was more than an hour longer than what they initially told us). 5) You canNOT cancel the order. 6) You can call their phone number over and over (I called about 20 times), but they will not answer. 7) You can try to leave them a voicemail, but they haven't even activated their voicemail, and you get a Rogers robot telling you to ask the business to active their voicemail. So they lie. They take your money. They hold you hostage. They will deliver the pizza when they feel like it. You cannot talk to anyone. You cannot leave a message for anyone. You cannot just request to pick up the damn pizza. It's a racket and a scam, and they couldn't care less. Do not engage. There's plenty of good pizza in the neighborhood.

First time here and we ordered vodka verde... One of the best pizzas we ever had This place is a must try

Hands down the best pizza I tried so far even better than badialis, short rib birria, that's the pizza I got, pizza came fresh quick and hot, customer service was amazing, the crust is crispy soft risen perfectly , short rib was tender, cheese was melt d perfectly no broken fat, they use good quality ingredients, it was hard to find, you can't get slices here unfortunately that's the bad part but the pizza is amazing, I don't usually give five stars for pizza places, but this place deserves it, the people were there were two young guys very nice and humble, very unique pizza and not the typical cheese and margherita

Overpriced for a very mediocre New York style pizza. It barely has any cheese and they sprinkle sesame seeds to make it "unique". First and and last time customer

Hottest pizza joint in Toronto right now, and definitely deserves its reputation. Have tried all the pizzas on their menu and there are no wrong choices. If you care about a crunchier crust, I would try either the Margherita or the NY Cheese first. Service is always pretty fast considering their popularity. Must try in Toronto!

Fantastic pizza! Ordered 7:30 last night and had an hour wait but well worth it! Killer Bee had a intriguing honey taste that I never would've expected on a pizza, and the NY Cheese is a standard must. Heavy on the parm and as Portnoy said it, the flop! You'll know it's fresh when you walk in the venue and get embraced by the smoke.

We ordered some pizza here for a company team event. The pizza was delicious! They didn't skim on the toppings and dough was good. Solid pizza place.

All time favorite!!! A must go for late night pizza cravings! Always cried but totally worth the wait :)

I found a new favorite pizza spot in the city. We ordered the medium Killer Bee and the medium Truffle Shuffle on a weekend. Due to it's popularity, there was a 45min wait for pickup, but there are plenty of shops nearby to wander around. Both pies together came to around $50. It was enough to feed 4 adults, so it is not a bad deal. Best of all, the pizza is amazing. Great fresh ingredients and amazing combinations of flavor. I personally loved the Truffle Shuffle as I'm always on the lookout for a great fungi pizza.

My friends are vegetarian and our go to is the Truffle Shuffle. It's just so good even when it's cold. There's mushrooms, caramelized onions and lemon zest on the pizza. Crust is nice and doughy not too hard. We picked up the pizza and had a picnic at trinity bellwoods for my dogs birthday. I've ordered from here many times and never disappoints. The service is good. It's a casual spot. Few tables inside if you want to sit down and eat. They also sell alcohol and beer here.

I'm from Miami visiting Toronto and I just have to say that the NY style pizza is the best pizza I have ever had. The cheese stretches so nicely and the garlic sauce pairs so well with it. It was so good and might have to go back again before leaving.

Tried the "killer bee" pizza ($28 for large). Thought it tasted pretty good. Had a nice "sweet and savoury" taste to it. staff seemed pretty nice as well but the pizza was way too hard to eat. It was super flimsy and basically falling apart while we were eating it, taking away from the experience (as someone who doesn't like to work too hard for food I'm paying for). Overall 3.5 stars and maybe other slices would be more what I'm looking for. Wouldn't be against going back to try something different.

Ordered multiple pizzas from this location for the first time and all our guests were ill with gastrointestinal issues. No other food was served. The owners response was terrible considering I have ordered numerous times from their other locations without incident. Go to Pizzeria Badiali, the pizza and service are so much better anyways.

I was a little worried to try this place because my fellow yelpers had such a wide range of experiences but what made me decide to give it a whirl was their truffle shuffle pizza offering. I ordered delivery and it arrived piping hot with a side of garlic knots and arugula salad. I have to say I was absolutely thrilled! The Truffle Shuffle pizza made with mozzarella, smoked cheddar, truffle cream, cremini mushrooms, caramelized mushrooms, chives and lemon zest. OMG! I loved it! Highly recommend. I definintely would order this again and maybe....maybe share.

One of the best pizzas in Toronto but unfortunately the quality and wait times can understandably suffer during busy periods. Rushing to get my pizza out after a 45 turned 60 minute wait, the pizza was probably a couple more minutes of cooking away from being just right. Still a great pie, though.

Amazing pizza! We came here because of Davey and well, I scored it higher for sure (8.7). Great pizza, crisp is PERFECT. A little on the greasier side, and a bit of flop. Undercarriage was cooked perfectly as well. Next time i'll probably try just cheese as it looks like one of the more popular selections. 4.5/5 Great pizza!

Really good pizza! Crispy, flavorful, plenty of sauce. If thin crust is your style, I would recommend this place!

Ripped off Husband and his buddy had lunch at the Avenue Road location. The beesting pizza was only "ok" and the fancy salad, paid for with generous tip when order was placed, never arrived. They'd met to talk and the ambiance was way too loud for conversation, so they left once the pizza was gone. Husband realized he'd never gotten his salad after returning home, and called. No problem, the person said on the phone after pulling up the receipt, drop in tomorrow and pick one up. Which we tried to do today, but nada. Everyone claims they're not authorized to make good on yesterday's inattentive (at best) service. One of the servers offered to refund from the tip jar, which was decent of her but not an acceptable resolution: husband declined to cut into the staff tips. The place is loud and has a very basic cafeteria vibe. There's better pizza all over this town. If you do eat here, make sure you don't get fleeced. Offering a credit card refund over the phone would have been an acceptable response. Offering to deliver the salad (were local) also fine. I thought it was a bit rich to ask the customer to return to collect food, but whatever. Today I'm outraged. Does this restaurant make a habit of fleecing fine in customers? And the pizza is expensive and nothing special.

After hearing lots of hype about this place thought we'd try it out. Ordered a margarita pizza. Crust was seriously crispy. The crust itself tasted okay but was nothing to write home about. The sauce was acidic and seemed like it could have used some garlic or additional seasoning. The basil was seriously fresh and flavourful. The basil and acid were the two dominant flavours. Overall, it was a good, well-made pizza but I much prefer Maker ... or the Pizza Nova near my house.

The pizza itself is very good, not oily and a good size. The issue is that the location has issues with their attention to detail. I've ordered 3 times and they've messed up the order twice. Also I ordered a pizza and two of my friends are vegetarian, it was supposed to be a cheese pizza but one of the slices had pepperoni on it. I assume they do not care about customer preferences whatsoever and there's no separation in the kitchen when they assemble orders. Could be better if they put some effort into their customer satisfaction. Disappointing

I've ordered pizza here online for pickup numerous times. I've never had an issue. If anything the pizza is always ready way faster than they say it will be so it's sitting out waiting for us to pickup. The pizza is really good, good portion sizes and not too oily and perfect thin crust. I love the options as a vegetarian, I never feel like I'm getting leftover cheap veggies.

Excellent pizzas! The quality of the ingredients makes a huge difference, and North of Brooklyn uses the best! Love their flavourful pizzas! Usually get the pizzas to go but they do have some seating inside for dine in. Small and cozy place with friendly staff!

We got both the Margherita and Killer Bee pizza for takeout. The restaurant was really busy when we arrived, but the staff were organized and quick. The pizzas had good, thin crust, tho parts were a little burned. The Margherita pizza was classic, but I prefered the Killer Bee, which had a nice sweet/spicy combination. Would recommend and return!

One of my favourite pizza spots in the city! They serve hot and delicious pizza every time with the most savory sauce and a perfect char every time. The margherita is my favourite margherita in the city, but it's hard to go wrong with anything you order there. They also have some great salads and sides as well - I always recommend the arugula salad and the buttery garlic knots with their garlic or marinara sauce. A classic meal for date night!

I was in the area and ended up trying a North of Brooklyn pizza...and I tried rhe Sopprasetta Hot Honey. The pizza crust was perfect blend of crunch, crisp and freshnesss...the toppings blended well and the sauce waa to perfection! Great pizza! Wasnt too impressed by their dip or hot sauce...

One of the best quality pies available in Toronto, or Canada for that matter - light, crispy, good quality ingredients. Took under 15 minutes to get ours, though it wasn't busy when we went. Sounds like they have consistency issues at times but in my experience when they get it right, they get it really right.

***update!! original review below!*** guest relations 5/5 the business had reached out to us and appologized for our bad experience. on top of thay, theyve generously offered to replace our meal for our next visit. the customer service from here a definite solid 5/5. unlike some businesses who dont even acknowledge their mistakes and just point the fingers at their customers. we really appreciate this kris, thank you so much & we look forward a better nbp experience! ************************** been wanting to try this chain for so long but the hype, local photos, and reviews were far from what we expected. **garlic "knots" (small order 6pcs) 1/5 the "knots" were just little dinner buns or sliders buns that were kept intact. i mean, it would cool and tasty if you "pull them apart" and it was drowned in garlic butter and melty cheeses, but they were quite dry/over cooked/stale and hard for us. it was driest and most boring looking bunch of mini buns. looked nothing a "garlic bread" or knot woukd be. it lacked a lot of flavour. the diy ones you can make at home would be better. total let down w.this one. **puttanesca & margherita - whole pizzas 2/5 both pizzas were obviously over baked. cheese burnt, dough hard and dry. you cannot over cook thincrust pizzas bc it dries out and becomes rock hard. we spent about $50-$55 after tx+tip. was not satisfied at all. **service/staff 5/5 lads in the house were so friendly and polite. greets all guests instantaneously with big smiles and warm welcomes. **overall experience 3/5 i think maybe i just caught them at a bad time? they were too busy? maybe set an alarm for the pizzas going in/out of the oven? not sure if id want to spend another $50 here..maybe when times arent so tough w.covid+job loss we will come by again to see nbp redeem themselves.

Definitely one of the best pizza places in Toronto. Price point is fair. Sometimes the pizza is undercooked or over cooked depending on which location you go too. But it is an amazing pie when you get one that's cooked perfect. I would recommend to anyone who loves New York style pizza.

Tucked away in a little nook on queen Brooklyn pizza is one of the ultimate slices in the city . The caesar salad is a delightful treat for all caesar lovers. The sundried tomatoes add a unique and delicious kick that will change the way you view Caesar salads for ever. The house made garlic dip is so creamy and rich its a perfect addition to a fresh slice. This is the real deal just a damn good slice of pie. No bullshit. Always fresh . Something thats becoming increasingly harder to find in this city we call home. I hate yelpers but i'll yelp about this slice

My favourite pizza in the city!! I always order ahead for pickup, as it can take around 30-40 minutes to make.

Five star pizza, this is one of my all time favs in Toronto for NYC inspired pizzas. We ordered the NY Cheese and the Kale and Bacon and brought to Trinity Bellwoods on a Sunday afternoon. Clear skies, hot pies and a delicious crust. The spot is on Palmerston Ave and a Queen. It's kinda hidden and off the Main Street but just look for the big broadway-like lights. COVID tips: call ahead and wait outside, pay inside though via card. Pairs well with beer or wine!

Absolutely terrible experience for delivery through their online site. Stated estimated delivery time was about an hour. The pizza arrived in 2:30. When it got here it was cold and burnt as can be seen in the picture. After calling multiple times and being put On hold the staff forgot to put the phone on mute and we were able to hear them laughing and joking with one another. Will not be returning.

Good punk rawk tunes jamming along with a good tasting pie. If you're into pizza and in Toronto--don't skip this tiny little gem. It'll nock your taste buds out!

Not sure why this is 3.5 on Yelp...the Margherita is probably the best pizza I have had in Toronto so far. Too bad I don't have a pic because I ate it all.

WHITE $4.42 Mozzarella, Garlic Ricotta, Arugula Super crispy crust. The whole pizza is scrumptious. If I were to frequent a pizza place, it'd be here.

During COVID-19 we had the opportunity to order their pizzas for first time (take-out) and it was one of the best pizzas I've had!! Imagine if we were eating in the restaurant serving right from the oven. The choices of pizzas are not vast but that's ok, there is something to please everyone. We tried the Margherita pizza, the Killer Bee, the Putanesca and the Kale and Bacon. First off that crust! It's thin and chewy and perfect amount of salt. Our favourites were the Margherita and the Killer Bee. We also ordered their Arugula and Caesar Salads were very good. A great tasting pizza and local pizza joint to support.

I went to North of Brooklyn Pizzeria for a slice of pizza on a Saturday. The small shop is mainly designed as a take out place but there are about 8-9 seats available if you want to enjoy a slice at the eatery. I ordered a pepperoni and ate at the store. Pizza wise, I thought the crust was nice and thin but it felt too crispy. The sauce was evenly distributed and the pepperoni was present, but it the pizza was just mediocre and underwhelming. Service and staff were friendly though!

Review of the 511Rogers Road location** I was very disappointed in the results this place had. After waiting for what we thought would be a great pizza, they gave us filthy utensils. How unappetizing. Especially at the start of the meal. When I approached them about it, they're response was unsatisfactory. And dismissive of the dirt on the utensils. They did supply new ones. Anticipating going to North of Brooklyn for how amazing their Queen St. Location smelled as I walked by, months ago. It smelled like their pizza was absolutely incredible. Most pizza smells are very enticing. Unfortunately, the Margherita pizza we ordered fell short on toppings.. Is it just me or do you have to request, "lots of cheese please?" And be charged additionally for their "nice" cheese. On something that is supposed to originally come with lots of cheese on it? I understand each pizza joint has their own recipe and therefore has less or more cheese on that recipe depending. Especially on a style of pizza that may have a specified amount. However not being able to really taste the cheese, is a huge problem! They were additionally stingy on the basil, there was no oregano at all, the cheese, was hardly noticeable and the tomato sauce out flavoured everything. The portion ratio on ingredients was not equal. The dough was dry, crunchy, and flavorless. It lacked the authentic doughy taste known of pizza dough. A bismal! The Caesar salad we also ordered... no croutons! A Caesar salad is not a caesar salad without croutons. How dare they call it that! The bacon, given on the side, had the appearance of dog food and tasted old. It was hard. The music was loud and infringed on our ability to have a comfortable, audible conversation without distraction. Furthermore, when you have Brooklyn in your name, it amounts to Quality... New York is known for delicious pizza, among other things. And Brooklyn is a part of that reputation. I dont know what kind of pizza North of Brooklyn claims to dish out. It certainly is not Neopolatian Style. They sorely disappointed. Famosa on Bloor is of far superior quality, as well as Pi Co. I'll choose other pizza places from here on out. Also, 2 items for over $30, is high way robbery! Goodbye!

Extremely disapointed. Tonight I ordered a large new york cheese pizza from North of Brooklyn Pizzeria at 229 Geary Avenue location. When I got home the pizza which I spent $30 dollars on was like cardboard, me and my partner could barely bite into it. I called costumer service right away and there was no answer. I have ordered from the Avenue Road and Church street locations many times and was always very satisfied.

I was suppose to go to nyc this summer and the one thing I crave when I go to New York is Brooklyn style pizza. I may not be in nyc however I definitely satisfied my craving. I got the 'truffle shuffle' and it is perfect. I'd say order ahead of time as it takes about 30 minutes. I'll definitely be craving this pizza again, I'll be back!

I wanted pizza but I didn't feel like going to Blondies, so here I am. For the longest time, North of Brooklyn was the pizza that you pick up and eat at Trinity Bellwoods, but now, they deliver on Uber Eats too. It travels well and the pizza is a slice above (lol) the standard fare you get at Domino's or Pizza Pizza. I got the large Kale & Bacon pie with Creamy Garlic dip and some Garlic Knots. First and foremost, Garlic Knots - not really worth it. They're chewier than I thought they were going to be and the garlic flavour wasn't that pronounced. I found myself dipping the Garlic Knots into the Creamy Garlic dip to get the full garlic experience. Speaking of, the Creamy Garlic dip is pretty great. It it VERY garlic-y, more so than the benchmark equivalent from Pizza Pizza. The Kale and Bacon pizza is great as well. You barely taste the kale because of the time in the oven and bacon is... bacon. The crust isn't bland and doesn't really need the Creamy Garlic dip to go down. I found myself using the dip more for the Garlic Knots, funnily enough. All in all, NoB is a staple of the west end of downtown Toronto and they're not losing that title any time soon.

this restaurant came at the recommendation of a friend. I had a concert to go to and this was in the middle of home and of the venue, so I decided to make a stop for some pizza on the way, even though I was running a bit late to the venue. I love how close this is to the bus stop, not as close as A&W but still close, and I mean with the big freaking sign, how could you miss this place? upon entry I couldn't help but notice how tiny this place is, maybe be able to sit eight or ten people. I order right away and sat down. I couldn't help but notice the paper plates that had drawings on them and stapled to the wall above the entrance, really not what I would have expected but I carried on taking a look at the place. the table I was at was not even and it had nothing to do with the base but the actual top was not level, also not clean, I also couldn't help but notice the napkin holder was made out of some pretty heavy duty sheet metal with some sort of hanger to the side of it that was oily from the manufacturer, im not sure why you would want this near someone's food much less on the same table as someone's food. my food arrived very hot and ready to go, I was asked if I wanted a plate and I said no because I could have ate out of the box, which is what I did once the pizza cooled down. not the worst pizza in the world I could have, but I did notice that my pepperoni pizza came with sesame seeds mixed into the edge of the pizza and the crust, something that isn't advertised on the menu and not something I would have wanted on my pizza to begin with (loss of point here) the pizza was thin crust, which is also not advertised but is a nice change of pace from normal pizza's I have. I am not a fan of this pizza and the reason being is because of the inconsistency within the pizza, one bite tasted really good, and the next bite didn't taste so good, and the whole pizza was like that, which really frustrated me by the end, because it ultimately felt like a tease. the pepperoni is has the best flavor on this pizza, the cheese is ok and the dough is pretty average. I ate my pizza and was on my way to the concert to rock out. the service is nothing to brag about, seems like everyones pretty aloof or high at this location, just my brutal two cents on this. speaking of brutal, this franchise sells hot sauce by the bottle, but they don't have it for you to use while in store...but they have photos of people...eating the sauce...eating the pizza...this makes no sense...at all. lots of parking options as this is just down from the intersection of queen and Tecumseh, and the ttc options are the 501 queen directly with the 511 being the closest alternative with a bit of a walk. be careful when you order from here, as im not sure if other pizza have random ingredients that physically show up that's not advertised, which may or may not make you sick... I wouldn't go out of my way for this place.

I think pizza is a very subjective food. Personally I do not like North of Brooklyn's pizza. The dough is so dense and more like a crusty bread than a pizza dough. 2 of favourite pleasures when eating pizza is 1) dipping the crust at the end which I couldn't do as it was too dense and crunchy, 2) and eating cold pizza for breakfast which was so dense my jaw hurt from such forceful chewing. Not for me I also found the pizzas to be a little on the greasy side for my taste
