Bitondo's doesn't deliver, which you think would hinder business, but they're not sweatin' it. The place is always busy and if you've had a slice of their pepperoni, you know why. It's pure, fresh and simple, like it grew up out of the ground or came off a tree as "pizza"

Best veal sandwhiches. Divine sauce.
Everytime I eat here I think of how lucky the people in the house next door is, imagine being able to just get up and have a Bitondos veal sandwhich in my hand and then in my mouth.
OMG., My wife's familly lives a few blocks from there, As good as the pizza is, the Panz and veal's are better. I now got my sister going there too.
Stopped by this afternoon after reading this review. Great pizza, great veal sandwich. $2.75 for a slice and $1.00 for a coke = $3.75 for a meal. Prices displayed are tax-in making this place a winner. If you're looking for anything other than pepperoni pizza, however, don't bother this place isn't Pizza Pizza.
Thanks to Stephen (previous comment) for saving me a trip, I only buy veggie slices or pies. Pepperoni pizza isn't even Italian.
The 3 top places on the BlogTO list all make crap pizza. Anyone who's been to New Haven (CT), Chicago or New York would cringe at what passes for pizza in TO. Does any place do thin crust, wood oven fired slices??
Darcy's got a point. As much as I like to grab a slice of Big Slice if I am passing by, it doesn't pass for authentic Italian pizza, and is simply not on par. However, for the price, these small pizza shops are a great bargain, and far better than the larger franchises.
I've been to New York every year 25 years and I hate the pizza in New York...They're all cheese pizza's and just throw toppings on top that fall off if the pizza even moves...When my cousins from NY come down we always go to Bitondo's for the Panzo's...Best in the city!!! If you're not from the neighbourhood you just wont underrstand the history.....So for all those who expect gourmet pizza, this is not ur place, this is place Just old school, pizza, sandwiches, panzo's etc...San fran's across the street ain't too bad either, and then the original california's veals is a few mins away!!!
... "or came off a tree as "pizza""? I'll say. I just walked a mile to this place in large part to your giving it the top slot. And for what? An oversized piece of bread dough that was warm at best. The sauce? Boring. The pepperoni? Like leather. And the "pizza"? Come on... I can understand pizza being a polarizing food. Like comedy, it's very subjective? But that place? That slice? The top slot? I'm not seeing it. The top slot -subjective or not- should be something you can at least see reasons for the love, whether it's your cup of tea or not. That said -and not to be a hater- but this simply cannot be the "number one pizza" in Toronto by any stretch of the imagination. (And please, don't give us the "If you're not from the neighbourhood you just wont underrstand the history"-line. This isn't about pizza sentimentality here. It's about the TOP PIZZA. Put your nostalgia cap aside, or else pay my cab ride back home.
Whatsamatta for you? This is good pizza at a bargain rate! You some kind big shot from Neuva York? Hitchhike back to the burg you slid in from and don't forget your passa-port, ya yankadoodle snob!
I remember when they opened the place...The slices at Bitondo's are different from the whole pizza you get when you order. The slices just aren't the same. Not nearly as good...too doughy and not enough cheese.
Get a sausage and mushroom pizza. Real Italian sausage, not that crumbly stuff that's like ground beef. They have all kinds of different toppings, veggies too, but only Pep slices, but stay away from the slices.
Veals aren't good. Not enough meat. California's (or Cappucietti's or Ralph's for those who remember) are better...so are San Frans.
Panzarottis are fantastic...
Second that JR. I couldn't believe what I got when I ordered my "World Famous" pizza slices in NYC. Paper with sauce and toppings. Just as disappointing as a NY hot dog.
Now, I have had authentic Italian pizza and that is the shit. The sauceless white pizzas are kick-ass.
