Best Pizza in North York (2026)

Pizzeria Libretto

5000 Yonge St, North York (Yonge & Sheppard)

$15 – $25 per 12" pie

North York's gold standard for authentic Neapolitan pizza. Pizzeria Libretto is one of only a handful of Toronto shops certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana — meaning the oven temperature, flour, water, and technique are all audited by the Italian government. The wood-fired oven delivers properly charred, puffy-crusted pies with imported San Marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. The Margherita DOC is the benchmark: three ingredients, perfectly executed.

Sit-down service, full Italian wine list, and a frozen pizza line you can grab on the way out — genuinely close to the in-restaurant experience at home.

Pizza Shab

3 Byng Ave, North York (Yonge & Finch)

$22 – $26 per 12" pie

For something completely different from the Italian canon. Pizza Shab is a Persian-style pizza institution at Yonge & Finch — thick dough, extremely generous cheese, and halal toppings including Persian sausage and seasoned ground beef that you won't find anywhere else. The Rolling Mix is the one to get: it packs multiple meats and vegetables into every bite. Open until 11:30 PM+, making it the best late-night pizza in North York.

Frank Pizzeria

834 Sheppard Ave W, North York (Sheppard & Bathurst)

$11 – $18 per pizza

The neighbourhood heavyweight that's been doing it right for over 30 years. Frank's is proof that consistency beats hype every time. There's nothing trendy here — just a family-run Italian pizzeria turning out perfectly chewy dough, tangy sauce, and generous toppings at prices that make Uber Eats orders feel criminal. The panzerotti is a sleeper hit: oven-baked, golden, and stuffed to bursting. If you grew up in North York, you already know Frank's.

Pizza Maru

6050 Yonge St, North York (north of Finch)

$18 – $25 per pie

The most Instagrammable pizza in North York. Pizza Maru is the first Canadian location of a Korean franchise, and their signature move is their patented green tea dough — a jade-coloured base that's slightly sweet and earthy, creating a totally unique canvas for Korean-inspired toppings. The Bulgogi Gold Edge pie is the TikTok favourite, loaded with Korean-marinated beef and a cheese-stuffed crust. Completely unique in North York, and one of the only options for adventurous eaters bored of traditional toppings.

AYCE note: If you're hunting for the all-you-can-eat Pizza Maru concept, that's at the downtown 66 Gerrard E location. The 6050 Yonge North York location is à la carte — order single pies from the menu.

The Good Son

11 Karl Fraser Rd, North York (Shops at Don Mills)

$18 – $28 per pie

The upscale casual pick at the Shops at Don Mills. The Good Son runs a proper imported M.A.M. wood-fired oven — a serious piece of Italian equipment rarely seen outside downtown — and the result is a Roma-Neapolitan hybrid with a thinner base than classic Neapolitan but more char than Roma. The Funghi pizza (four types of mushroom, truffle oil, fior di latte) is the standout. Polished dining room, full Italian wine list, still family-friendly — a step up from your average neighbourhood spot without being fussy.

ZZaVia

1597 Bayview Ave, Toronto (Leaside, south of North York)

$6 per Roman slice • $21 per round pie

ZZaVia brings genuine Roman al taglio (cut-to-order square slices) alongside classic Neapolitan round pies — a dual format you rarely see in the GTA. The Roman dough is fermented for 5 days, resulting in an airy, impossibly light crust. Their Neapolitan round bakes in just 45 seconds. Imported Italian ingredients, sleek modern room — perfect for the foodie crowd who wants more than just another slice shop.

North of Brooklyn

1728 Avenue Rd, Toronto (just south of the North York border)

$5 – $8 per slice

The closest thing to an authentic NYC slice shop near North York. NoB is technically just south of the border on Avenue Rd, but it's the spot Redditors specifically name-drop in "best pizza near North York" threads. The Killer Bee — Calabrese sausage, hot honey, and jalapenos on a NYC-thin base — is their signature, and the Grandma square slice is the Reddit-cited must-order. Big, foldable regular slices are exactly what you want at 2 AM after a night out.

Buzz Buzz Pizza

822 Wilson Ave, North York (Wilson & Dufferin)

$15 – $20 per person

The other North York institution. Buzz Buzz has been turning out homemade Italian pizzas on Wilson Ave since 1984 — before most of the trendier spots on this list even existed. The dough is made fresh daily, the sauce is their grandmother's recipe, and the menu stretches beyond pizza into chicken souvlaki and veal cutlet sandwiches that regulars order as often as the pies. No TikTok hype, no Instagram-friendly interior — just three decades of consistency at neighbourhood prices. If you live west of Dufferin, this is your default order.
