    Here, it's not just about pizza; it's about reliving the cherished memories of old-school pizzeria charm. Each bite is a flashback to simpler times, where the focus was on the joy of a good slice. No frills, no gimmicks, just the classic pizza experience - period. Bitondo's is where you go to savor not just the flavors of a well-crafted pizza but also the warmth of a bygone era.

    Taste just like when I was a kid, fresh ingredients great prices and staff, veal sandwich is fresh and the bread is perfect, pizza crust stands on its own soft but firm and the sauce is perfect. Place is a time warp looks exactly how I remember. A perfect little place that is cash only but always fresh and clean. Also quick friendly service.

    It pains me to update this review to any less than 5 stars but Bitondo's is going through a rough patch right now and there's no sugar coating it... I'm rounding up to 3 stars out of pity but really, they're hovering at around 2.5 right now. My Dad doesn't live in Toronto anymore, and it was tradition that every time he visited me he'd get a slice, or even a full pizza, from his beloved Bitondo's to take back home. The past maybe half-dozen times, he's noticed the pizza hasn't been as good. One time it was burnt, uneven crust, not enough cheese, etc. He remembers when Bitondo's first opened. Grew up in the area. Went to school at Grace (now Pierre Elliott Trudeau) and has such fond memories of this pizza joint. He was so sad to finally admit that this place had changed for the worse. We just got home from the cottage with no time to cook supper for our hungry kids and ordered a large pepperoni, mushroom and green pepper, 2 garlic dipping sauces and a ponzo on the side. They quoted us 45 minutes (!) which I can look past -- they've only got one oven and they're a busy place. But honestly, the pizza is *just* cooked enough, not sliced properly, and the order came to $32. I gave my husband $30 thinking that'd be more than enough but he had to scrounge for change in the car when he got there and they told him the total. The pizza had wax paper all stuck to the bottom that we had to peel off each slice and just wasn't that good. Like chain pizza would have been just as good, at a fraction of the cost. In fact, my husband said it tasted like Pizza Pizza. Ugh. The ponzo was also *just* cooked enough and smaller than we remember it being in the past. Such a shame. We want the old Bitondo's back!

    Found this cute little place just off college and Clinton, and couldn't help but to try it out. It's a friendly mom and pop shop, with raving reviews from the community.

    Bitondo's is no bullshit. None at all. It's a house that's converted into a pizza spot, and I bet if they ever sold it would get renovated right away because you're literally walking into brown when you open the doors. The walls are brown, the ceiling is brown, the floor is brown, and it's got the most OG menu board that is probably older than me. It's beautiful. The pizza is one of the reasons I came here and I still go here. It's so simple. It reminds me of pizza days in elementary, when all I had to think about is if I could swing another slice after I'm done my first one. My go to is the pepperoni, simply because it's perfect in my eyes. First, the price. $3.50 for happiness? I'll take one, please. The crust is thin, but not paper thin that it falls like a wasteman when you pick it up, it's got that NYC fold, but not that NYC drip. Chewy and firm. The sauce is simple, the cheese is cheesy. The pepperoni is a little greasy, a little salty. It's just simple man, and there's not one thing that jumps out where I can tell you that's the reason. It's the whole package. The panzos are the second reason I come here. In my eyes, just as legendary as the pizza. Who knew a fried pillow of dough would be hard to photograph. Not me. Again, this is so fucking simple it hurts. They stuff dough with cheese and sauce, they fry it, and they give it to you. They're always soft and fluffy no matter when you go in, which is a good sign that they keep having to make new ones. The dough is fried golden but not over fried that it's greasy. It's chewy when you pull, so you're confident that the thing won't fall apart in your hands. The sauce is simple and the cheese is cheesy. There's a lot of sauce and a lot of cheese, and you should get the sauce on the side too. You bite into this thing and it's a fountain of cheese and tomato. I wish every fountain was like this. In a world full of mega 50 topping pizzas and new extravagant crust options that are shit and never interest me I tend to fall back on what I know. I love pizza for the simple fact that it is exactly that. Simple. Dough, sauce, cheese, meat. That's all I really want, and Bitondo's has been giving me that consistency for a long time now.

    BEST PIZZA. In Toronto! So good and so cheap as well! Loveee this place so much! Gem

    Yes, Canada has pizza. And Tondo is bi.

    Tondo's has been rumoured to prefer slices of the same gender, and also to prefer slices of the opposite gender. It's now been confirmed that Tondo's likes both, hence the new name BiTondo's. Unfortunately these beloved slices at $3 are really not very delicious. Maybe by Toronto standards, this big, cheesy, tasteless slice is excellent. But coming from Buffalo where we are utterly spoiled with pizzerias, this was both inferior and less imaginative. And it's hard to be less imaginative than basic Buffalo pizza. So I'm not a big fan of the slices, but I am a fan of local businesses and I appreciate that Toronto seems to love this place. I can sort of see why, but it's not on my top list at all. Average. I should say, Bitondo's is a "Bit" average.

    This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

    We had 3 good pizzas and salads. We always have good food and service. It is very comfortable.read more
