Pizza Pizza may not make the best pizza in the city, but sometimes it’s the only port in a storm. While these places all essentially deal in hot cardboard circles (though anything’s edible with enough creamy garlic sauce), some locations are way better than others.

Here are some of the best and worst Pizza Pizza locations in Toronto.

Best

Dufferin Mall

Your best bet for Pizza Pizza locations are typically within larger locales such as malls. This one has a pretty good reputation for organization, and with a whole food court of seating surrounding it you can usually find an okay place to sit.

I once had really good cheese pizza from the Dufferin Mall location. I assume this was an anomaly.

Union Station

This Pizza Pizza has self-serve screens where pizzas can be fully customized, automatically putting it a notch above pretty much all others with sheer novelty alone. The newly designed food court where this Pizza Pizza is located isn’t too shabby in general.

The Union Station location is actually pretty good.

Sports stadiums like Scotiabank Arena

The formula holds true for Pizza Pizza being better when it’s functioning as part of a larger whole, with hot slices at games seemingly way better than delivery from most locations.

I don’t like Pizza Pizza but the slices they put out at the ACC/Scotiabank Arena are better than any of their stores.

Movie theatres like Cineplex

Though popcorn is the stereotypical movie snack, slices of pizza are popular options at lots of theatres too, and the quality of Pizza Pizza products at Cineplex is surprisingly decent.

Best -Cineplex theatres or scociabank areana . Everywhere else sucks .

Bathurst and St. Clair

This place not only gets bonus points for being a standalone Pizza Pizza location on St. Clair West (where there can often be few options especially late at night), but also for boasting a super cute Google review by the son of a former staff member.

Worst

Queen and John

The service at this Queen West location is just notoriously bad.

Queen and John location. Not only do the staff say things don’t exist if they don’t understand, but the homeless and drug addicts in there just really show you what it’s like

Queens Quay

Though there are some positive reviews online for this location across from the Harbourfront Centre there are lots of bad ones too, including complaints about the service— even from people living in the very building above it.

Worst pizza pizza it in waterfront area bad services

Spadina and Bloor

It seems the high traffic and high level of drunkenness of customers passing through this Annex Pizza Pizza location allow it to get away with even higher levels of grime and poor service.

Worst (god bless them) is Spadina\Bloor

Gerrard and Jones

This location has a reputation for poorly made pizza, some pretty slow service and badly maintained conditions.

Gerrard and Jones, Worst, oddly Gerrard and Greenwood the best?

Queen and Broadview

A fight that broke outat this Riverside location of Pizza Pizza will likely tarnish its reputation for some time to come but they just renovated the interior so there's hope.
