Ronald Dahl, one of the great authors of our time. Who doesn’t love Billy Wonka?
This comment should be number 1
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, deserves a mention too
@@JahanZahid we all know el Prez loves his Charlie....
Ol' Billy Wonks?
Lmao!
I work in this place Dave. You've made my life a living hell. You will not get away with it.
Lol'd
hahahha
hahahah now thats some funny shit.
😂😂
hahaha😂
"thowin f' bombs im back in philly" street man "whatever" hahahahahah that was the best
lol what he want dave to do go up to his place for a slice? hahaha what a clown
Typical non caring Canadian lol
Dude that pizza is easily 8.9 on dave’s scale. you can tell by the crunch
You’re not watching enough, that’s an 8.5. 8.9 is mythical pizza, you travel for 8.9 pizza. This pizza is what you get if you’re in town.
Edit: he gave it 8.4, damn I’m watching too much of these reviews
He underscored it no doubt! 8.8... everybody knows the rules
Nah, it’s not. He scored it way too high!
@@charliep9066 No. He did not. Nice undercarriage. Light. Not too much cheese. Not greasy. You can hear the crunch. It checks all the boxes. This was easily an 8+ pizza.
@@winstonsmith11I live here and have had it many times. STFU.
He opened that pizza box and WOW is that a beautiful looking pizza.
I know right. I know an 8.4 is great but I still can't believe it isn't higher.
Thought the same. Love it when it's a bit well done.
agreed. that pie was spectacular looking, eh.
Are you Donald Trump?
“Beautiful looking pizza. I came in and I said WOW that’s a beautiful looking pizza.”
@@diddlez2 I was guessing 8.7
One whole piece of pizza devoured by Dave always gets an 8+, everyone knows the rules.
L
I called the 8.4. I watch every video, everybody knows the rules.
I called 8,2…almost)))
I was way off going 9.2, everyone knows the rules.
It's actually a higher score if you factor in the exchange rate.
Dave's Toronto Pizza Power Rankings (as of May 12th)
8.4 North of Brooklyn
8.3 Badiali
8.2 Conzo’s

Hero
pizza pizza
Bless you
Pizza pizza- 10.0
Pizza nostra is missing....they hot an 8.0
One of the best pizza's i've ever seent on here.
Nobody knew Toronto could reach that level of greatness.
😳Well deserved 8.4, to me it looked even higher.
i just walked by the place, and it's already sold out and closed for the day.
That pie was frame-worthy. Gorgeous.
Oh stfu how can you tell froma vide tat far away hahah
@@3cs3hs No way 😲. I expect it'll be that way for a few days. It's got to be one of the best looking pizza pies I've ever seen ngl
One of the biggest cities in North America with a huge Italian population? I knew it.
This was an 8.9 pizza. Devoured the whole slice , got nervous with a crowd, and kept it low.
Got nervous with a crowd and kept it low ? Right!!😂
Sounds like you know the rules
As soon as I heard the crunch on the first bite I knew it was gonna be an 8
True
I literally cannot find any difference in his reviews between an 8.2 and a 9.2, there was absolutely nothing to criticize about this pizza and he gave it an 8.4 lol..
I definitely thought that pizza was 8.9-9.1 territory based on the appearance and crunch. It looked OUTSTANDING.
You can’t say “this can go basically toe to toe with any pizza I’ve ever eaten” than hand out a 8.4. It should be 8.9 c’mon Davey
that's what I thought..I knew he probably wouldn't go 9s..but if he's referencing Difaras like that..I totally thought 8.9 also
but they smoked dope and forgot what they were doing.. 8.4
STOP BEING A PRAG!
Ya he kept it low bc its canadian and he wants to like think America is better imo. No way that was only 8.4 in his books he even gave it away.
I totally agree. With that crunch and light charred look (which I thought looked amazing), I was fully expecting 8.7 - 8.9). 8.4 still great, but not as high as I thought.
One of my first jobs in Toronto was in the burger joint that used to be attached to this place, I think it's an A&W now. When they opened the business they didn't have a bathroom and canadian law says that if it's a sit down restaurant they need a bathroom for customers, we let them use our bathroom and in exchange we got free pizza. Honestly the best perk of working that job. Joined the guys for a beer a couple times, I'm sure the staff has changed a lot since then but honestly 10/10 for me.
The anticipation of the score had me butt cheeks clinched, everybody knows the rules.
As a Torontonian, while NoB is def above average, I can say that pizza was very specifically tailored to your tastes and not the average
They definitely made it special for him. A few pizzas I’ve had from there weren’t that great. I love ONO pizza on Pape.
💯💯 Their pies DO NOT look like that. The Geary location especially sucks.
Lots of really good pizza in toronto
can confirm this pizza wass done special for him
Disagree, this is what I usually get when I got here and I live next door
Yes… finally a Toronto pizza review by the man himself 🙏🏽
Their habanero sauce is next level. Truly this man understands the sanctity of the institution that is PIZZA. GOD BLESS YOU, GOD BLESS PIZZA! 🙏🍕
He made it special for sure. Place is good but usually a floppy undercarriage. If he served the original pizza you ordered, score would be lower
Yup. I like NoB but they were prepared for this. Usually way floppier.
100%
So then why dont they make this type of pizza then and not the floppy?
Disagree. If the under carriage is floppy it’s because it’s been sitting in the box. When it’s fresh it’s always like this
@@JTCFC1 nope. Floppy is due to ingredients and temperature.
Old school review vibes, love it
I used to love North of Brooklyn but I've found as they've gotten more popular they started to rush the pizza and undercook it. Criminal. Dave is not getting the true experience here. Although I would kill for a properly cooked one again, so good.
The idea that Toronto wouldn't have good Pizza is insane (yes we also have our trash chains looking at you Pizza Pizza), but this is a city with a massive Italian population. We may just lack an iconic style like NYC, Chicago or Detroit.
Love a good Ronald Dahl book.
He knows that burger clown, Roald McDonald.
This man knows so little of the world. But enough to find his spot and become successful.
When he said Angelo's my heart started racing, them only an 8.4. I was surprised
Holy shit it feels like I’ve been waiting for years to see this review. Easily the best pizza in Toronto next to Superpoint and Bitondo’s. Fun fact, Frank Pinello cofounded this place
Bitondos is my favorite, but I have a feeling it will be a low score--- its the best though
No.. there is only 1 spot that beats North of Brooklyn. 100%. And it is… Pizzeria Badiali
My #3 hidden gem spot: Fresca Pizza on college / spadina
I actually heard your mom cofounded it
Frank cofounded this??
@@peterchalach5662 yessir
i love how serious this whole thing got..insane
Gotta say, from sound alone, that pizza is high 8’s minimum. When a bite from the centre of the pizza crunches, you’re on one.
Unless it was a fingernail
"centre" 😂
Naw, its a fair score, there is no way this is a high 8. I just had it last week.
agreed
This pizza is a 7.4 max for regular customers. They served him some Dave special. I’ve had it many times.
I’m the guy in the car. I was leaving North of Brooklyn Pizza and they asked me to wait until they start filming, then drive by and say “Dave Portnoy!”
The person with him slipped me a cool hundred and I said no problem. I didn’t know they scripted these reviews on occasion.
You got featured buddy!
post a cell phone pic for evidence / zero chance you didn't take one
That's some straight-up Brooklyn gangster shit right there everybody knows the rules
I was the guy dropping all the F bombs. I did it for free though.
Was that hundred US$ or CDN$? Big difference lol.
"I got a feeling that could change". Awesome man. You're honestly improving peoples lives and ability to make a living.
Jacket and T-shirt matched the box and wall perfectly!
First impression of that pizza upon opening the box was perfection. Textbook Dave pizza. Hopefully that's what all customers get.
Unfortunately it isn’t. I live down the street. That’s better than anytime I’ve had it
Got a Margherita pizza from there the day after this was posted. Definitely a good score by Dave I could say it was even better. I didn’t have to ask for it well done and it was perfect.
I had the truffle shuffle pizza from them a couple weeks ago, can confirm that their pizza is pretty damn good
I can confirm it’s a great pizza. The Margherita was to die for.
When Dave eats the whole slice, you know you’re getting over 8 - everybody knows the rules
Dave you finally did Toronto. My dream come true!!!
Welcome to Canada prez. We have been waiting for you. Much love from ontario. I live in Kitchener about an hour south. Can't wait to see more reviews of our spots
One Ronald Dahl book, everybody knows James and the Giant Happy Meal was a classic
Roald Dahl. 😉
@@katmullaly4069 that was the joke
In Dave’s defense, that guy is the only Roald in the whole world.
@@katmullaly4069 Wooosh
I was growing more and more disheartened as I scrolled down looking for the first comment on this matter. Glad I found this.
So many Canadians have been waiting for this day for a long long time! 🇨🇦
I live in Sault Ste Marie... We are known for steel and pizza... Fuck I can't wait for him to visit.
It’s awesome to see you in Toronto so much it’s a great town
Thanks for coming to Canada Dave! The Cunucks love yah.
As a Torontonian I like NoB, but I think they definitely catered it special for Dave because I do think there is way better in the city. A less chainy joint that's family run that I love to support is Frescas and I think they're worth a visit. You also have to try Maker's (even though they're overpriced I do really like them). Finally, make a stop in Windsor. Iconic style of pizza, maybe not Dave's style, but definitely unique.
Everyone knows Fresca and maker pizza is ehhhh
NOB better then all of them lol
This whole trip to Toronto makes me wanna go. Looks bad ass
Finally I was waiting for Dave to come to Canada 🇨🇦
We have a lot of Italians living in the greater Toronto, Hamilton area the golden horseshoe area is amazing for pizza id love to see more canadian reviews
Cool to see him in Toronto reviewing pizza joints that I know. That place is bomb, maybe the best slice in Toronto
Do you know of any good European pizza joints around? Idk what these other people are saying, think good American-style pizza like this is not hard to find in downtown Toronto, but personally I haven't quite found it with the European-Italian traditional pizzas
@@Amaling Pizzeria oro di Napoli on lakseshore. It's more Neopolitan style.
@@akshay_9146 alright mate, I'll check it out whenever I need to go to etobicoke :)
@@Amaling there's an Italian restaurant called Piano Piano that has great woodfire pizzas (and great pasta for that matter). But it's not like an in and out pizza joint or anything like that. It's a proper sit down dinner wine date night kinda spot. They've got 2 spots, I've been to the one off Spadina
@@bjmw93 now that I'm nearby, thanks :)
Everyone knows Dave wanted to give it a 8.7 but hesitated cause its Canada
Its the exchange rate playing a factor. 😀
Nah it's because it was his first review in Toronto. Can't set the standard so high so quickly.
There’s no better pizza in Toronto outside of north of Brooklyn. It’s a shame it was his first place to go to. 8.8-8.9 for sure.
I was just in Toronto last week looking up Dave’s videos to see if he had reviewed pizza places from there before and now he shows up Lol 😂
Frank from Best Pizza is the real deal. Love you Dave. Love what you do. 🌷🌷🌷
I’ve been waiting for Dave to come to Canada forever! 8.4 Let’s goooo!!!
Let’s just hope they keep that quality of doneness with all their customers and not just dave. When they know he’s coming, they put their all into the pizza and then screw over regular customers
I've had North of Brooklyn multiple times and it's NEVER looked anything like this lol
Ive worked a couple pizza jobs. It was really hard to get the whole crust as crispy when it got busy.. Each pizza in takes up surface space and pulls heat out the surface. When its the only one in you can move it around and that surface stays very hot. when you are moving lots of pies; they will end up where other pizza just was and not get that same cook.. Not applicable to the conveyer ovens but those ovens are shit anyways.
Love about 3-4 blocks away from There, I’d say it’s about 7/10 times you go there it’s like that, mostly when it’s busy does it not
Went there this past week (Geary Ave location) and it was similar, not as firm but I had toppings on mine vs just cheese
You can literally ask for well done if you prefer “doneness”
the crisp you hear when he bites the slice makes the pizza sound even more delicious
I live just outside of Toronto and this is my favorite pizza place! My favorite is their Margarita
Thowing F bombs like im back in Philly! "Whatever".... that was gold.
😂
Bunch of hosers up in there!
Yes finally one from my own country 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I have waited a very long time for this
My favourite pizza in Toronto right here. This location is fine but getting it at the back of Greater Good and then going upstairs to play games and have a beer with your slice is a top notch Toronto experience
This pizza looks so good dude. I've watched so many episodes. Industry and the upside down pizza which looked like he was donating blood was also 🔥
This is easily one of the top 10 looking pies day has ever reviewed. And then that crispy crunch when he bites into it. I'd say this should be in the 8.9/9.1 conversation but who knows because I haven't tried it.
Dave* not day but who cares
Just booked a flight to Toronto (not joking either) - Everybody knows the rules.
Its 8.8/10 in my books.
I agree this was one of the best looking pies he's reviewed and was also his style of pizza. I expected a 9+ for sure but 8.4 is still real solid.
@@chasevalencia6065 8.4 is great but like you said this pizza looks like it was built for Dave
Thank you Dave for finally coming to Canada!been waiting a while for a review to happen close, and you finally did one in my back yard! Will be trying this place asap! Please do more!
Good video. Best of luck to your channel mate.
I just admire at moments like 3:40 where Dave really digs deep for the right score. Even after 1000's of other reviews he STILL is giving us the honest take. Providing scores now even internationally. No shop is too good or too bad for Dave to stop by. A true legend.
One guy respecting the literary works of Ronald McDahl, everybody loves the fries.
I'm not even sure who that is, but roald Dahl was quite the author!
He meant Roald McDonald obviously
We've been waiting for you Prez! You gotta try Superpoint on Ossington. Cheers and enjoy your time in TO.
One of my absolute favourite spots in the city - it makes me happy Prez thinks the same
Go to Badiali on Dovercourt in Toronto!
Local Ontarioian. Our pizza is bomb! New york state wears off on us beautifully with our own little twist in it 👍
We see you Canada. That looks spectacular
Yeah dam the crisp of the crunch and the sound when it hit the box.. that's a nice looking pie
whoohoo! i've always been wishing he would do a tour through Toronto
Dave, as a Vancouverite, I can say if you ever come to Vancouver, you would hate most pizza shops here (a lot of east indian or greek style). Our "best" pizza is a lot of breweries doing Neapolitan.
Moved to the west coast 16 years ago and every day I miss Ontario pizza. Glad to see the Prez telling Canada the rules
Have you tried AJ's Brooklyn Pizza?
where do u live? there are some excellent pizza spots in sf and la. i live in nyc so i know pizza
@@MyKeeP81 West coast Canada, not US
Awesome to see the Pizza man in Canada
One 'Ronald' Dahl book, Dave's never read a book in his life, everyone knows the rules.
Lmao he was killing me with that. Love a good 'Ronald' Dahl book myself.
Ronald Mc’Dahl
Please check out Windsor, Ontario about 4 hrs from Toronto. It's on the border with Detroit. The best pizza in Canada. Capri Pizza and Antonino's Original Pizza are some of the best. Almost all pizzerias have the same great consistency around Windsor.
He’s not going to Windsor 😂😂😂😂
Agreed on Windsor being the best in Canada by a mile. The Chelsea is probably my overall favourite but Vito's and Antonino's are just spectacular
I've always wanted him to come here to Windsor. Hopefully one day!
Antoninos is garbage.
That just looks like a great pie and listen to that crunch 😭
In Toronto this weekend and I grabbed a large pie last night thanks to Dave’s recommendation.. although my undercarriage was not quite like his in the video, the crust and taste was very good!
As someone who grew up in NYC and lives in Toronto now, this is where I go when I want a good taste of home.
It doesn't approach the elite pizzerias in NYC, at best it will be on par with a good NYC pizzeria, which is tough, in it of itself, to do.
7.7 for me.
Exactly this a 7.6. Can't believe he scored so high
Feels like home? Lol NYC is no different from Toronto if anything u would find the best type of food in Toronto
@@MrMikeyboy4 It's not the same though. Yes you can get good Italian food in Toronto but in general your average pizza shop is nothing like the pizza in Queens or Brooklyn.
Dave: "Dropping f bombs like I'm back in Philly!"
Dude: "Whatever!"
"And I took offence to that"
Lol
Hahahaa
Dudes like, no fucks given.
Yup. Agreed. I'm from Jersey City in Toronto. Only pizza I know that is close to the NY/NJ style pizza.
finally in Canada. Good shit Dave.
Dave comes to Toronto! I can die happy! #Canada #Pizza
Welcome to Toronto Dave. North of Brooklyn is one of the best pies in the city.
Please check out Makers, Fresca Pizza, Pizza Badiali, Fourth Man in Fire and Descendant Pizza
Anywhere in Woodbridge/Vaughn.
I haven't explored any places up there yet
i was at Fresca a few months ago, wasnt that great tbh
but I'm someone who doesn't lie a super thin pie
@@richardNbacchus I've been eating there since middle school. Its still one of the cheapest big slices in the city. Cant go wrong.
Yes I prefer NY style pizza.
@@raytran6400 fair play
Do more in Toronto!
Looking forward to seeing you more In Canada. We the North
I live 10 minutes from the spot. I order a few times monthly. Best pizza in Toronto bar none, if you like the NY style slice.
Would recommend to anybody, no matter your taste. Crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. A must have if you are a fan of pizza and are in the Toronto area.
Quick question: Does it always look like that or did they cook it a little more than usual because they knew that Dave likes his pizza a little well done?
Nah macs pizza, pizza nostra body this place
@@Deplorable_Cruz Honestly? I've order from here upwards of 100 times and it has always "looked" like that. I will say his pizza was extra crispy than normal because they knew he liked it well done, but the taste has been super consistent, the texture super consistent and it's just a solid NY pie time after time.
@@Finnathegod "bodying" is a bit of a stretch but they are both excellent pizza places too. Admittedly I don't eat those as often as North of Brooklyn due to travel distance but enjoyed those places just as well.
Just remember, when the quality of the pizza is there, it often comes down to recipe, the chef the sauce and the combination of toppings you chose to go on it.
For me I love North of Brooklyn's pizza sauce and cheese. Their garlic dipping sauce is pretty awesome as well.
The Prez definition of a "good book" is not Shakespeare or Charles Dickens. Rather, it is 'James & The Giant Peach...'. 😂
😂
Name a book written by Shakespeare smarty pants.
Had this pizza yesterday, mind blowing.
Come to Halifax Dave! You must try Salvatores. And Piatto. As well as Yeah Yeah's. There is a whole unexplored world of pies here waiting for you to review.
IT HAPPENED! A CANADIAN REVIEW! Very proud of you!
I've been dying for the Canadian pizza reviews thanks Dave
looks great. getting this when I go to the second best city in canada.
I just flew in from Vancouver. Went straight here. Had the “Killer Bee”. Sickest pizza! Worth the travel!
Honestly thought it was going to be a 9+ pizza looked phenomenal
That pizza looks amazing. Thought it might push 8.8.
Love this joint
Your dedication is relentless. Your enthusiasm is endless. It's funny to see you try so hard to be polite. You're a good man!!!
As a proud Canadian this is pretty special too see. If possible Windsor, ON is a pretty renowned city for pizza in Ontario, would make for some good reviews.
He’s not going to fucking Windsor 😂 give it up already!
@@enjoybagtimer When he enviabley goes to windsor i want a firm handshake and a kiss on the mouth from you as an apology.
@@RedShoesGaming33 why would I apologize? I never said the pizza was bad? I’ve never been. But it’s 4 hours from Toronto. He’s not going this week. Give it up.
@@enjoybagtimer You better hope he doesn’t come to Windsor now. If he does, which he should, you are gonna get roasted non stop. Windsor Is the Pizza City dude.
@@CampariMM can you use your eyeballs? Why the fuck would I get roasted? I’m telling you he’s not gonna go to Windsor. Sure he would like the pizza. That doesn’t change the fact he is not gonna go this week.
I’ve been waiting forever for Dave to come to Canada! So glad the time has finally come
Shoutout to the press for reaching Toronto💥👋🎉
I just had North of Brooklyn pizza yesterday. Have to agree with Dave. Great pie.
When the video started I thought, oh my god! Portnoy is in Toronto. I’ve been going to North of Brooklyn for 10 years after every Jays game. I agree with the 8.4. There are better places in Toronto and Hamilton (The Hammer) but this place is legit. International!!!!!
id say 8.1 but they can be inconsistent, I have gotten a 9.1 pizza from them before tho just depends on who's doing it.
What are these other better pizza places?
Would love to have that list to try out haha
@@sudarsanasandeep3378 Conzo, superpoint, franks pizza house, badiali
We love dave in canada
Gotta try this
I love this place. Gotta try the killer bee.
