Sometimes I feel really reassured when I power up my computer, go to get my Yelp on (yes, this is a thing), start a review and...see that THE WORLD is already capturing all my feels. The short summary is: sure, sure, you gotta pizza' my heart, Maker. But, to join the chorus, I adore Maker Pizza. I just wish it were slightly better value: less money and/or a little more substantial. What I can say, though, is: much like the 'cilantro gene', there must be one for people who love pineapple on pizza. I am one of them. And I am glad that Maker Pizza honours this with Tropic Thunder, my fave pizza on their menu. Generally though: their pizzas are extremely well-seasoned, creatively topped, and the crust is the stuff of legend. I can also say that I have never experienced the poor or gruff service that many reviews detail. I strategically go at 'off' times so that things aren't too bananas and I don't have to wait for either eat-in or carry-out (see, trouble shooting: maybe people have shorter bandwidth during rush hour? Not an excuse, but possibly an explanation). I've never had anything but friendly service, good beats while I wait, and a great selection of soda/pop (take your pick) to lube up the ol' pizza passageways (see: digestive tract). I like the space, too, capturing the 'industrial-chic' vibe. It's not cozy, and not a place you'll want to hang out for hours, but it's a great place to roll up and chow down. Yelp note: new location opening *imminently* at Avenue Road / Lawrence! read more

Perhaps the most unique pizza I have had. Goat cheese, caramalized onions, sesame seeds and drizzled with honey. Close to my favourite neighbourhoods in the city. Need to go back and try one of their sandwiches read more

Once again waited about 2 hours for delivery.. Been on hold for 40 min at times. Also have Been hung up on. Pizza is consistently good. Everything else consistently a complete and total train wreck. . read more

We ordered a pie to share and took it to eat by the lake. It TOTALLY hit the spot! If you're looking for the right cheesiness and right thickness, you must try this pizza. I want a fan of the everything bagel crust because I felt it took away from the actual pizza. Otherwise, no complaints. Service was good and quick. They came out with our order..no need for us to go inside. It was a great way to spend a quiet Monday evening with my loves. read more

Maker Pizza Cameron - Cheese and pepperoni pie - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Being from New York I'm weary about eating Pizza in other states let alone other countries. However Maker did not disappoint. The guys were really nice and since their produce truck did not bring them pepperoni today we got sausage on our pizza. Really high quality ingredients- comes with a high price tag to match. Not hard to find, right behind the super 8 in Chinatown. Only thing that brings this from a 5 star to a 4 star review is price- but since the staff told us about how they really care about having the best ingredients, it's easy to assume it's costly to make each pizza. read more

The food is amazing. Pizza is always great, subs are great, salads are fresh, wings are amazing. The service is atrocious. Ordered from here probably 20 times or so since they opened and would say 15 of those times we had a bad experience with the service. Only kept ordering because the food is so amazing but had the last straw this past week. The staff consistently are rude and pretentious on the phone - several times we ordered delivery and gave credit card numbers over the phone - last week a guy told us we couldn't do that and we explained we had in the past and he said and "if we've REALLY ordered from here so many times we should already know that". I understand if they changed their policy or if he just didn't know but it was super rude and he started yelling over me on the phone. I would've kept my order and went and got cash had he not been so rude. Several times I've had my whole pizza squished in the box from careless delivery - I know accidents happen but this happened probably 5 times. I get that maker is super busy all he time. That's not excuse for rude service. They've lost my business. read more

4/5 Hate to admit but I like their pizza. Really hate their size, price tag, shitty printed menu, not so welcoming cashier guy and slow delivery service, but I just love it's perfectly cooked crunch dough with fresh ingredients. These guys are not the best value pizza place in Toronto but they do serve better pizzas than pizza libretto or many other "famous" pizzerias around dt Toronto. If there are more than three ppl to feed, make site to order the largest size. read more

Definitely a great pizza but a bit overhyped and the price doesn't match the quality of the food, I would still give it another try though!

Definitely one of the better pizzas I've had. I came to find out about this place due to me actually getting lost in downtown. Regardless, I was hungry so I decided to park up and try the place. I ordered a regular cheese pizza as I wasn't feeling too adventurous with toppings that day, the pizza itself did take some time to make, but I was expecting this as they did look busy. The pizza was quite great, although it was a little greasy; I found it to be enjoyable. One thing I'd say is that this style of pizza making slightly differs from the product you'd find at Pizza Pizza or any other pizza joint you might visit. I'd definitely give this place a try if you're in the area and looking for something different to try. read more

YUM!!! If you love pizza like I do, this place is a must try. The pizza is absolutely delish. We've ordered from this place twice now for delivery. The first time, we got the Frank's Best (white sauce pizza with goat cheese, honey, rosemary, caramelized onion, etc.) and the Little Deuce Coop (red sauce pizza with roasted chicken, basil, roasted red pepper, red onion, ricotta, etc.). Both times, we got the beet salad with arugula and ricotta. The salad was good, but nothing out of this world. What *was* out of this world was the pizza. Especially the Frank's Best. The saltiness of the cheese combined with the slight sweetness of the onion and honey was the perfect combination. And even if you're not usually a fan of pizza crust, the chewy sesame seed crust will change your mind. So good. And now I'm craving pizza again...! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. We ordered it at work. It was delicious. Some of the tastiest pizza I've had. Ordering delivery on a Saturday night was the opposite experience. I ordered the tropical one with pineapple on it. I was told it would take 1.5 hours to get the pizza and that they only had small pies left. That seemed kind of excessive but I wanted it so I went with it. I had to order more things to bring up the delivery minimum to $30. They charge $4 delivery. The pizza took 2.5 hours to get to me. That seems pretty unreasonable. It was kind of soggy. The wings were ok; your standard buffalo wings. Nothing memorable. Basically $40 and 2.5 hours of time to get a mediocre small size pizza and mediocre wings. I think I ordered the wrong thing, and delivery was definitely a complete failure. I would pick up in-store next time if I have a craving but the last experience didn't leave me with a craving. I'll have to get one of the other pizzas I know are good, and order early enough so they have the size I'm looking for. I know they have some pizzas that taste great so I'll give them another try, but the delivery experience was really quite awful. The issue here is probably that they aren't experienced or equipped enough to handle their popularity on weekends. read more

We were slightly underwhelmed by this pizza - maybe because we had high expectations (we're big Matty fans). There weren't amazing vegetarian options - in my opinion. Most were on white pizza which is unfair. You can build your own pizza which is nice, but I wanted to try an original. My husband and I both got different pizzas and thought they were good - nothing special. We've had better pizza in Toronto, but would go back to Maker Pizza if needed. There's limited seating - first come first serve FYI. It's basically a take out place. read more

The dr pepperoni pizza is amazing...one of the best crust i have ever had. A lot of meat and cheese...worth the $30 for a large...great quality!!! read more

Definitely amazing pizza! 6 stars if it were possible. Haha Pizza is made and cooked in front of you and made to perfection or its tossed and made again. Definitely will come back alot! read more

Maker Pizza Cameron - One of those places thats goong to go big! - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've given Maker a couple more chances and it's definitely gotten better. The delivery remains atrociously slow (I've never waited less than an hour and it's usually closer to 1.5) and the service is rude, but the biggest flaw before -- the crust/dough -- has been improved. It's a lot lighter now, but still substantial enough to support the weight of the generous serving of cheese/pepperoni above. FYI, despite their best efforts to fool you when you call, they *do* in fact take credit for delivery. You may even have to insist because all they say is a terse "Cash on delivery." You just need to give the card details to them over the phone. read more

This place makes me miss the Pizza Pizza around the corner that closed and that was less than half the price.

I'm not typically a pizza fan but this place is on another level. They use great ingredients and do not skimp. We ordered the Dr. Pepperoni and the Porkys to try a red and white base. The Porkys one was alright, nothing too special. Found it a little bland. The Dr. Pepperoni one was amazing!! Each pepperoni piece was nicely cooked and had such great flavor. The only issue is that the place gets crazy hot and packed with people. The seating long shared tables. I would recommend takeout if you come here since that's what I had seen most people do. I would def come back and recommend it to all my friends! read more

This review is just on atmosphere while waiting for our takeout pizza. My second time here. The place is very stuffy, needs a vent giving me a headache. The Asian woman at the order counter was so incredibly unenthusiastic with our presence and order, she maybe said 3 words to us. A shame, if my employees didn't up-sell they would be gone. You pay for what you get. The tables were dirty and she never once left the counter, rather sat there and yawned the entire time we waited for our pizza. Pizza is good but in my opinion, not a good value. read more

I went here on a Friday night at 5pm. No one else was in there, but they did seem to be making a lot of pizzas. I ordered the pepperoni pizza and despite being the only one in there it took 25 minutes. It's TIFF and they were doing a lot of to go pizzas, but still. I feel like priority should go to the eat in diners, especially when you're literally the only one. Onto the pizza: it was good, but not great. First, not enough sauce. Secondly, it was only cut 4 ways creating 4 HUGE slices. The pizza was way too heavy and big to pick up and eat like that. The cheese just slid off. I ate most of mine with a plastic knife and fork (they don't have real silverware). I did love the little pepperoni! Lastly, the place doesn't have one reusable item. As I mentioned, they have plastic cutlery. On top of that there are paper plates. Even the crushed red pepper, parm (oh at least those aren't in disposable containers) are in those foil containers you can throw out. They're creating a ton of waste. read more

If your looking for a great pizza place this is the place, they also feature sandwiches and other menu options, try the porkies pizza it's one of my favorites. Place is always busy with take out so that means they are doing a great job. Keep it up pizza maker. read more

Reviews dont lie and this Pizza is damn delicious! Although it was a little hard to find in the dark we eventually followed our noses and found the spot. We ordered the one with pepperoni and the one with chicken and it was freshness upon freshness. I absolutely loved the Pizza and wished they would deliver all over the GTA. There are a few places you can sit down to eat or you can get it to go. We had a cookie also and it was delicious as well. We will definitely be coming back here for more Matty Pizza! read more

Pizza are ... ok ... beverages are warm. Ice is out of the question! Bring your own ice if you would like a cold beverage with your pizza.

Pizza is amazing. Service time is horrendous. If they say 20 minutes for pickup. Double it.

Best pizza in Toronto -- 100%. Make sure you try Dr. Pepperoni.

Terrible experience! We never even got the food we ordered! After waiting 2 hours for delivery (they told us it would be an hour and 15 mins), they realized they input our address wrong. They didn't have a phone number for the driver to correct it. How can you not have phone numbers for your staff! We told them to cancel the order. After which we got a call from the driver who accused us of providing the wrong address. I couldn't believe it! I was scared he was going to show up at my door and threaten me. They left us hungry and infuriated at the complete lack of customer service. read more

I wanted a pizza with crispy pepperoni. So we immediately ordered a medium (for two people it was a big size). I got my crispy pepperoni, and the crust was delicious! Probably the best crust I've tasted. The pizza itself was a bit on the salty side. Something my friend loved. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere comfy and modern. This place is a must check out in Toronto! read more

SUPER greasy, SUPER expensive. This is a pizza place for trendy people who want to to take pictures of their food for Instagram. I tried it, I just don't like it. read more

This pizza is the truth. I had the Frank's Best and the only disappointment was that my fingers didn't get sticky like the review in BlogTO. Boyfriend got Tropic Thunder and tbh it was so hot that I cried a bit and he had to eat a banana. It's not a bad thing, but as he said, "That's for someone who REALLY likes hot stuff, not a guy who just wants to order a pizza." So one star deducted because we are weak, not Maker. Still ordering it tomorrow for the football game. read more

We're back on the HUNT for Toronto's BEST! Stop #5 of the pizza pie tour: Maker Pizza This week celebrity chef Matty Matheson makes an appearance with his somewhat new pizza spot. During our last hunt we visited his burger joint. It missed the mark by an unfortunate amount, so though I would have liked to walk into Maker objectively, I was a little salty. In similar fashion to the burger joint, Maker is a long & thin restaurant, but this time with enough stool seating for you to bring a small group. They keep the decor nice and simplistic, with white tables, white walls, black trim, and a pizza box shelf. Keeping it hip on a dime. I like it! Then came the pizzas. Maker gives you a good amount of variety, half the pies being red, half white. I was up for something different, so I opted for the Little Deuce Coup. This is a red pizza that sports roasted chicken, roasted red pepper, red onion, ricotta, basil, fior dilatte, mozzarella, olive oil, parmesan, and tomato sauce. So did Matty do me right this time...? Thank baby Jesus, yes! Though this wasn't a show stopping pizza, it was a refreshing surprise, highlighted by the perfect amount of lemon zest to give it some tang, but not make it a yellow lollipop. The red onions and roasted pepper were a good combo with the thankfully not dry roasted chicken, and most of all high five to whoever decided to put dollops of ricotta on the pie. I know that that they chose dollops for artistic purposes, but the pie is begging for so much more!!! At this point, I was plenty happy with myself, but then came the Tropic Thunder. I like tend to reserve 5 star reviews for dishes that make me speechless, but the flavour journey that this beauty took me on requires recognition. This red pizza comes stacked with inspired ingredients: jalapeño, red onion, fior di latte, mozzarella, parmesan, olive oil, tomato sauce, roasted garlic, sesame crust, red chilies, Thai Basil salsa verde, house cumin seed oil, and chili infused pineapple. First off, pineapple calls back to my childhood love for pizza, but then even before you hit it you bite your way through what appears to be purposefully varying "flavour zones". Sure you'll get good old fashion tomato sauce & mozzarella, but then take a walk to that spicy kick of the jalapeño, dabble with whatever perfect choice of sausage they have, get slapped in the face by an Indian inspired curry flavour, and then F around with that sesame seed crust! I have to say though, the sesame seed crust came out of nowhere. In no way am I mad at it, plus it was pretty good, but it was just random for me. This pizza was stupid good because of its complexity and how the distinct flavours backed each other up. Though actually finding Maker Pizza is a bit of a challenge, get your life right and put in the effort to get there! Matty's got a hit with this one, and I'd be happy to go back to try the rest of the menu! read more

We read this was the best in Toronto, and Maker Pizza did not disappoint. We took the walk from The Rogers center, passing many lesser pizza chains along the way. Kids were hungry, and almost didn't make it. But we're all glad we did. Great ingredients, superior crust, and consistent every time. The best we ever had! read more

All about the pizza, as it should be. Very high quality ingredients crafted by a group of people that care about what they're doing. If you're in Toronto and want pizza that would be considered excellent in any city in the world, check this spot out. read more

After all the hype, I'm disappointed to give this place a less than stellar review. The place itself was incredibly hot inside making it uncomfortable to eat. The pizza (the mushroom one with white sauce) itself was oily and didn't have any flavor except for random bursts of lemon zest which was a weird combination. I did like that they had a variety of mushrooms on the pizza. read more

Ordered a pizza and was told it would be 45-1hr 15 min wait. 2 hours later and called back and was told they were just now putting it in the oven. Ridiculous. Maybe it'll be here before I'm on hour 3. read more

There is no better pizza in Toronto than Maker Pizza!!! I go every week without fail! I would literally eat it every day if I could.

This place may have ruined my life. *Insert Dear Lord Meme* I am a big pizza fan, but being a calorie counting dickhead - it's usually reserved as a treat. Well unless Im drunk or high - then it is my main source of sustenance. This place makes it hard. It makes it real hard to say no. Aside: If anyone can get this pizza delivered and they choose something like Pizza Pizza. I don't like you. You need to reevaluate your life choices. I wouldn't let you petsit my dog. Get better. Back to the life ruining pizza from Maker... I've tried "The Pep God" and "Napoli Dynamite" - Both incredible. I'd probably lean towards The Pep God as my favorite, but it's damn close. You know why The Pep God wins out? Sesame seeds on pizza crust. What a genius move. You know when you order crap pizza, sometimes at the end of the night your box is filled up with discarded crusts aka "pizza bones". I can guarantee that never happens with The Pep God. I once ordered it from UberEATS and dude took 19 years to deliver it. The pizza was cold and congealed. Ya know what? It still kicked ass. Maker keeps it simple. An amazing crust, a great sauce and a few quality ingredients. When you taste it youll realize thats all you ever needed. read more

The pizza is good but their prices are indefensible. You might as well have a pizza flown in from Naples for the amount these ppl charge. As one person mentioned, a rare treat for the average joe but their regulars must all be millionaires. read more

Two words: GREAT PIZZA. And its best when you eat at their location. If you order for delivery the pizzas are still good but not as good as fresh from the oven since the dough will be a bit softer of course. This pizza can easily compete with the pizza chains out there. read more

The pizza was just ok nothing to great. I was expecting a lot from this place. I did get wings too that were good. The 2 star rating was from the attitude and lackadaisical demeanor from the guy working the checkout counter. He could careless if anyone was even there, very lazy and did not help the other staff in there at all. read more

Waited over 2 hours to pay $40 for a small cold pizza. Decent pizza, bad service. Not worth it.
