I just spoke to one of the owners. After letting him know that the pizza has changed. The crust was dry. It was missing mushrooms, and the onions were extra big. All the toppings kept falling off. We could not taste the garlic. He said he would put half price on the credit and I said if he can give us a credit for the whole amount for next time. He said they're in business for 40 years and they don't do that. I said I would call back another day and speak to the owner. He said it doesn't work that way and I said this is how you treat your customer and he hung up on me. He was extremely rude. buyer beware... read more

Been coming here since I was a kid. All I can say is their stuffed Beef Patties are the best. I haven't tried anything else because I always want a stuffed beef patty. read more

February 7/2023: This was a terrible experience. The place was absolutely filthy! It's in major need of cleaning & upgrade. Food safety protocols are being ignored to the safety of clients. The food was terrible. My meatball sub was cold & the meat was reheated. The marinara sauce was tasty but that's where it ended for me. "Skip this place" is my recommendation. read more

I come here every single Monday for many many years, I love the food and the people who work there. I often bring my friends and dine in, otherwise I order a pre made slice and takeout. It's always been a pleasure! See you again soon Mackay! read more

This is our third time going here, our go to is always the party size MacKay pizza. First two times ( a year or two ago) the pizza was mouthwatering and heavenly. This third and prob final time coming here, unfortunately was underwhelming. The pizza was very wet, so wet that the whole cheese layer of the pizza kept sliding off while eating :/ ! It was messy and subpar at best. The price also isn't cheap , with tax the total is $32/$33 for 16 slices!( I didn't pay but was told it was around this price). Oh yah and did I mention , it also takes 45 mins to make ! MacKay was good to try but seems like a hit or miss maybe? read more

MacKay Pizza & Subs - Sandwiches Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I worked in Brampton and this used to be our go-to place for pizza and subs--they were amazing! But that was then, at least a decade ago. Since then most of my coworkers have moved on and I just sort of moved away from the departmental pizza party thing. Fast forward a decade and here I am with my partner about to walk in into this joint after talking it up as it were the best thing since sliced bread! With my credibility on the line and confidence high we ordered the 'special' pizza---a fully loaded pie. What a disappointment. The crust was hard and tasted like cardboard and the toppings absolutely tasteless. Sauce was also at a minimum. A totally bland experience. This was nothing like it used to be. A sad demise of a Brampton institution. My partner thought I was from Mars given the accolades I gave the place versus our actual experience today. I doubt I'll be back. read more

Quick, friendly, fast & hands down for Best patties in Brampton. Loyal Customer been coming since high school time.

Local Pizza joint... there are 2. The other one is located at Hwy 10 & Bovaird. Simple pizza's made right. They have a MacKays special which is loaded.... ham, bacon, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, green peppers and tomatoes... love it! Also serving Patty... plain or with lettuce & cheese. Last is Subs... standard toppings but everything is fresh! Give it a try! read more

Good local pizza place. Patty was also good. Sicilian was better than the round pie but next time will try thin crust well done. Overall very good pizza, especially compared to the large chains. read more

I mean, if you live in Brampton and you've never been to Mackay, like where are you really living? Mackay is a Brampton staple. I have been going here for yeaars. I do prefer the original North Park location compared to the Gillingham location. It's really a no frills place. It's quick, it's delicious, it fulfills your hunger. My go tos are the stuffed patty WITH tomatoes and or a simple pepperoni pizza. I have ordered party size pizzas here and they do a great Canadian. Only my favourite kind of pizza, duh! My recent order was for a small pepperoni pizza through delivery. The girl told me it would be about 45 mins to an hour. The guy came a few minutes before the 45 minute mark. Perfecto! Pizza was hot and the cheese was melty. Yum! I was so surprised how cheap it was and how huge the slices were. It's been awhile since I got delivery but I was super impressed! $9.61 with tax and delivery! The crust is a little tough but it's nothing that really bothered me. I don't even eat the end crust pieces. Their sauce, like others have mentioned is simple and not too acidic and they defs do not chince out on cheese! Just see my pic. The slices are huge, it could've been a 10 slice pizza really lol. I've uploaded pics of the patty to the gillingham location, but those are absolutely perfection. Their patties are soft and they load it all up with cheese, lettuce and mayo. I add a tomato to add a little something refreshing to each bite. It's the prefect little meal for me. Everyone's gotta try a 'brampton patty' once in their life. Oh ya and their pizzas by the slices are also ginormous. read more

MacKay Pizza & Subs - Small pepperoni pizza through delivery. $9.61 - Sandwiches Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

I grew up across the plaza and over the years since we moved out of B-town when I was 19 I always come back for their pizza and stuffed Mackay Patties. Price has always remined reasonable and the taste pretty much exactly how I always remember it. I am biased but I love pizza and it's rare that any other pizza hits home like Mackay's pizzas. They are large slices, they are not thick which I love and they are good even when cold. Crust is always chewy inside and tastes great. Most pizza places I always refuse to eat the crust. Not here. I'm writing this review bc I work in Woodbridge and am seriously thinking about paying whatever the shipping cost will be if they let me get it delivered lol. I will never stop coming here especially bc my children also love their pizzas now. Same owner who I bumped into last time I went from when I was a kid looking up at him at the counter. read more

Very much a hidden gem. A slice of pizza is a good size with a good amount of sauce and cheese. I tried a pepperoni slice and a Hawaiian and both were excellent. Having looked at the rest of the menu while in the shop I will be back soon to try the sub and patty. But I will also be back for more pizza. I actually debated on going back in for another slice... but decided to have the gf grab us some on her way home instead (our secret). read more

Where do I start? A wonderful chewy and crispy crust topped with a flavourful and not overly acidic sauce and just enough cheese and pepperoni to satisfy your craving for great pizza. The line up was long at lunch but moved fast and at under 6.50 for two slices and a pop you can't go wrong. Highly recommended. Oh and the staff was friendly and efficient too. read more

MacKay Pizza & Subs - Two delicious pepperoni slices on the go. - Sandwiches Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

The Hungry Gills hit this place up a couple of weeks ago. It was Neetu's first time, and Karn's 100000000000th time. This has to be the home of the biggest slice in Brampton. We Haven't seen a bigger slice...yet! We ordered: - 1x Cheese Slice of Pizza - 1x Pepperoni Slice of Pizza - 1x Jamaican Patty with Cheese, Lettuce and Mayo. The total cost was: $8.50 Karn's favourite part of this place it is the Jamaican patties. The cheese melts in it, and the patty/makeshift sandwich is oozing with mayo (mayo fans rejoice!). The Bottom line: The place is pretty run down, the pizza can be surprisingly cold at times, always ask them for a fresh slice, it's worth the wait! Do NOT use the washrooms. This place is a good pick up venue, not much for creating an environment to dine in. The plaza itself is sketchy, lots of weird people loitering around. BUT, if you plan on picking up and taking the food home..DEFINITELY recommend hitting this place up, great size of slices, delicious and unique patty sandwiches. We put out a full video review if you care to check it out. YouTube: The Hungry Gills Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxe-8YIwJwM - Karn & Neetu Gill :) read more

Geeeze Louiiiiiseeeee......for the longest time I have always thought MacKay Pizza had only pizza but man was I ever wrong. Growing up I loved eating beef patties. At MacKay's, they have beef patties and they fill it up with lettuce, cheese and lettuce. Absolutely tasty, cheap and hits the spot. Best hidden place in Brampton for sure hands down. read more

We picked up pizza slices tonight from Mckay North Park location. This place used to be really good. Crust was ok but hardly any sauce if any, it was hard to tell. OVerall pizza was tasteless. PRice went up, quality went down. C'mon McKay. you can do better. read more

I've been coming here since I was in high school. I am now in my late 20's LOL. I always make it a point to pick up a giant slice of pizza from MacKays along with their delicious patties. To die for!!!! The only issue I've had with this establishment from the get go is the location. read more

Awful experience!!!! Elastic band baked into the crust! Health Department call??? Way too chewy for me read more

The good: - The stuffed patties are yum! - The pizza is good (or just ok depending on the time), but still worth it to fulfill your pizza craving. - Great location (right beside the passport office and Rona) - The value/prices - The friendly staff The bad: - The interior decor needs freshening up and possibly some renovations. It's a big spacious location, but it only had like 2 or 3 small dirty tables. They should paint the place a bright colour and add some nice furniture in the large seating area to make the place look a bit more welcoming and where people can actually sit and eat. Currently it's more of a take out place, but it doesn't make sense for the size of the place. I want them to do well cuz it's a great local joint. :-) read more

Growing up and eating at Mackay, they would never disappoint...until last week. I ordered a cheese slice and the girl handed me the bag, I thought it was and empty bag at first. I looked in and seen the slice walked to my car and pulled it out, I'm like maybe just a bad slice. It was half the weight of the old slices, it was paper thin, seems like they changed the sauce and cheese. I don't know if there is new management or if old management is make a dire mistake but they need to revert to the way they were making pizza before. I also spoke to my other buddy whom has been going here for a long time, he also said the same thing ordered 2 pepperoni slices, seemed as if the pepperoni and cheese had changed and pizza was paper thin. Word of advice for Mackay get your sh*t together, because you're probably going to lose a lot of customers. read more

Great pizza and customer service. They forgot an order called in the previous day but made it right. Fresh, not pizzas in record time saved the birthday party! It's the only place in Brampton we order pizza from. read more

Home of the stuffed patties.. pizza is alright but the Jamaican patty stuffed with lettuce, cheese, mayo with the addition of hot peppers is simply to doe for. This pizza joint has been here a long time and clearly serves the locals in the area and those that travel like myself to have them whenever I'm in Brampton. There's always a line up but they are pretty fast and efficient in serving everyone. Small area for seating as well, this place is a gem. read more

Very dirty place. Washroom is horrible. High Chance to meet a cockroaches. Clerks are rude and impolite... Style is not part of this place. Most of the time they run out with pizza and those few sliced left over inside the warmer glass box are old like my grand father... Pizza is nothing special at all. Very hard to digest. Patties are ok, but not the best around here... People talk good about this place because they always go in starving and when you are hungry... everything taste good! I went couple time because it's in my neighbour. But I won't go back anymore wasting my time... read more

The patties are amazing, the pizza slices are huge. Would definitely recommend if your in the area.

A coworker brought us a pizza from Mackey a couple of months ago not knowing where it's from, a couple months later (yesterday) had a buddy telling me he had Mackey Pizza and it's the best pizza... so I had a slice and remembered the receipt, looked very familiar. The slice was nice had hot peppers and bacon. Delicious!! So I decided to go to the pizza joint not being there before and asked "what's good to get?" She recommends the pizza and the beef patty. She says "I heard we have the best beef patties" so I say "lemme try the best beef patty" got the patty and ate it in my car before I drove home. Amazing! Loved it. Would I come back? Yes! Would I drive 30mins to get a beef patty? Planning to do that today. Definitely worth it! read more

Now I don't give bad reviews out so easily. But it's simple why this happened. Not paying attention. I'm disappointed as I read reviews and heard this was a little gem and best food around etc etc. So we ordered take out Friday night .. 2 pizzas and some dips; pretty easy.. where my problem comes in is when they don't listen to the customer and they still take your money. That is really frustrating. It's very simple what happened really. We had ordered garlic dips, and we didn't get them. My pizza was a simple veggie and my fiancé asked specifically for nothing spicy whatsoever on it. They even wrote no HP (hot pepper) on the receipt.. and that's exactly what they slapped all over my pizza! I know what you're thinking why didn't he check the food before he left there (I did say that) but to be honest if they can't even get a simple order right of 2 pizzas and dip then they won't be having our services. I don't turn food away very easily or like to waste it but it was that hot I just couldn't eat it I'm hoping this was just a once off .. read more

So let start by saying that if you live in Brampton and have not heard of MacKay then you have been living under a rock lmao. MacKay is a Brampton icon. Not so much for their pizza but for the MacKay patties. I have to say that although there are many places around that make the stuffed patty, MacKay was and is the originator. Weather you are craving a late night snack or a full meal Mackay is the place to be. Its kind of hard to not give this place 5 stars but their pizza is not as amazing as the patties. Its not horrible to say the least. The subs are pretty good as well. If I could I would give this a 4.5 stars read more

Good local spot to visit for quick fast food. The MacKay Patty looked to be by far their most popular item - simply a Jamaican patty stuffed with lettuce, cheese, and tomato. Since it's a pizza place, I'm sure you could add whatever you want, but it was pretty stuffed as-is. The place occupies two units of the plaza with the walls torn down in between - and it's evident. The cashier area (one side of the place) and the dining area (other side) look completely different. This isn't a big deal at all, considering how casual the place is. Bottom line, it gets the job done. It was lunchtime and there seemed to be plenty of happy customers. read more

I live around the area and am surprised I haven't written a review. When ordering slices you got the regular pepperoni, Hawaiian, cheese, and vegetarian (haven't been there in a while so not sure about veg). In terms of taste conpared to other places, it is great! You also get a big filling slice! My only gripe about it is their crust: it is very hard to chew! I have ordered their version of a deep dish. Now it is no Chicago deep dish but in their own way it is tasteful. Made a custom order for my sisters house party and everyone loved it. Some slices were taken home to be shared with family and my sister was called because they wanted to know where it came from and what toppings were picked. Their patties are delicious! It comes standard with lettuce and tomato (other toppings are extra). Very tasty! Their sub sandwiches, however, are disappointing. It's is very skinny and honestly not worth the price as you could've spent it on something else that is better read more

The pizza definitely isn't the greatest, but still some of the better pizza you'll come across in the area. However, its the Jamaican patties that are worth going for. Sure, you can do it at home the same way without much trouble, but its just the fun of heading to MacKay and wanting it from there. Its worth trying out, and very cheap to do so. read more

I've enjoyed this pizza for years. Pizza here has the perfect crust, bottem is a tough with the rest soft and chewy, cheese is gooey, pepperoni is spicy. This is not heart healthy stuff but it is good for the soul. It's greasy, big and consistent. This place has been around for more than 30 years. They must be doing something right. read more

Famous amongst the natives for their Jamaican patties which come with cheese, lettuce and mayo. Sounds bizarre but kinda works. read more

Excellent pizza,subs and patties. Fast service. Less marks for ambiance but they make up for that in good value.

Good pizza. Some of the best in Brampton in my opinion. I highly recommend the Jamaican patties which are delicious. Order it with cheese lettuce and mayonnaise. You'll love it, Good place to stop for a quick cheap bite. read more

If you grow up in Brampton McKay pizza is part of your life. This small pizzeria is situated in the corner of a old plaza of Brampton they have extended hours all year round. Offer delivery service which always comes as fast as a pick up order. My favorite is the McKay special which is loaded with fresh ingredients pepperoni mushrooms bacon green peppers tomato onions and generous tasty cheese. The pizza is always cooked to perfection with a nice crust and light tasty sauce. I also have had their Sicilian pizza which is a twice cooked deep dish style pie but not flooded with sauce or grease like other deep dish pizzas. A small is more like a medium and the taste is mouthwatering soo good. My daughter loves their stuffed patties which most Brampton kids learn to love. They use a Jamaican style beef patty open it up and stuff with lettuce cheese and mayo a BIG hit among teenagers. You can not and would not have pizza from anywhere else once you have had this awesome pizza! read more

Thanks for the raw pizza. The dough is still yet wet!! Absolutely disgusting!! Never again.

I used to live in Brampton and got the pepperoni slices and patties all the time. I live in Stratford now, so if I'm on the 401, I'll sometimes detour to go up to MacKay Pizza for a special treat. Stratford only has chain pizza places, so I miss really good pizza! The slices are a good size and the pepperoni is awesome...just the right amount of spiciness, decent amount of cheese and thin crispy crust! Yum! Patties are also really good! The next time I go, I'm going to get a full pizza and bring it home and freeze the extra...it's that good! The only thing I can say negative is the customer service is hit or miss...sometimes friendly, sometimes very indifferent. There is usually at least a few people in line waiting for slices etc because the food is so good and is consistent quality. It's probably my favourite pizza. read more

Great Pizza, not so great service. Regardless of the service, the food is incredible. Best Pizza I have ever had. I would give this place 5 stars, but the service is important also. read more

This is now the absolute worst place to get pizza in all of Brampton, ON. I lived down the street from Mackay pizza on North Park Dr for over 20 years and it used to be the best place for me and my friends to go get a bite to eat. They used to have a friendly staff and gave great portions of food, but now when you walk in it seems like the staff can't be bothered to take your order and rather give you a cold slice of pizza that's half the size of what they used to on a paper plate This place has been on the decline for almost a year now and I for one can't wait to see it finally close the doors for good. Hopefully it will be replaced by another business that actually holds its staff to some sort of professional standard. I'm routing for a Mr.Sub or something read more
