June 11/2022: This was a fantastic meal with Kevin & Ana. It should have been a 5* but they made a major error in our order causing a loss of 1 star. It's a 4* as it was. Our server was Evan, very nice & attentive but somehow he missed a course of the meal. We ordered some bread to start. It was a focaccia, warm & soft coupled with an absolutely incredible house made red pepper style sauce. Beyond delicious! We also ordered a charcuterie board but they missed the delivery & it arrived AFTER our main course so we turned it away. I ordered the sausage/mushroom zah. Super tasty & bursting with flavour and more then enough to fill your belly. Topping it off with a cappuccino & a round of delicious Italian Lemon Cello. Fabulous! A definite do over from me. read more

It was a place my son said we should try out i was quite surprised how good it was and great service I'd go back again.

What a perfect spot for an incredible meal! ambience, fantastic service, and the pizza...WOW!!!

Ordered two pizzas and one lasagne as mains w three people. Lasagne comes 10min ahead of the pizzas, which when they arrived still managed to be undercooked! Both pizzas have barely any cheese and the meat on the diavola is simply awful. The service is good, the bread w oil is good, Greek salad good. But we went for the pizza and it just wasn't. Second time there and not likely to go back. read more

The owner was so nice and the food was delicious. A wonderful experience. I bought some hot sauce. It's delicious.

Ordered 5 pizzas. Undercooked, soggy bottom crust and somewhat flavorful but far from authentic pizza di Napoli. Many better local options. P read more

We just ate here tonight. The last time we went was before the pandemic. The pizza was exceptional then and it is still exceptional now. Authentic pizza, just the way it's served in Italy. The restaurant itself, its decor, is old-school and very charming. The wait staff, many Italian, are wonderful, attentive, and genuinely kind. You are in Italy for your meal. Grazie mille a Alessio di Pescara, il nostro cameriere, durante la cena. Grazie per la chiacchierata cosi piacevole in italiano. Mi ha trasporto, subito ed immediatamente, in Italia, al mare adriatico. Ritorneremo sicuramente! read more

Ate here last night and I have to say it was one of the best Pizza's I had in my life! I don't remember the name of the particular pizza I ordered but that that they used prosciutto, Parmesan shavings and some green on what was probably the most delicious hand made dough I've had since Italy. I rarely give a place 5 stars but this place deserves it. read more

Very good food. Napoli style pizzas. Yummy everything. Even soft Italian music playing. Simple place. Yummy stuff read more

Food- I give this place a 5 star for its food for sure!!! Fresh Italian food that tastes amazing!!! Ordered the caprese salad, the rolled ham and cheese appetizers (forgot what it's called), and 2 pizzas including the marghareta pizza with arugula added and the diavola. AMAZING. highly recommend all. By far the best tasting caprese salad that doesn't shy down on its portions or cheese slices. Fresh and light. The pizzas were done quite quickly maybe about a 10 or so minute wait. Would need a fork and a knife to cut into it because the toppings weigh down the bread a bit. Crust/appetizers/bread is very very good with the hot garlic sauce provided. If I could buy it I would! If you're not a fan of hot it might come off as really spicy. But the flavour is strong and works well with the breads for sure! Bread is fresh, with a perfect crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Price- fairly priced! About $12-25 dishes. Nothing heavy on the pocket. Service & environment- Amazing. Waitress kept checking up on us, let us sit near the tv to watch the Jays game. Made sure our water jug was never empty. Accommodated us really well! Environment was a quiet ambience with dim lights (on a Sunday night). Family friendly. Overall- HIGHLY recommend this place!! Definitely coming back in the near future. read more

This is a great restaurant in many ways: if you are looking for real Italian food. And if you are nor looking for real Italian food you go and discover what you are missing. We followed rheir suggestions and got Margherita pizza and a thin-sliced peperoncinicinih ham pizza that were wonderful. Better than thAt were the warm pepper sauce and fresh crusty bread appetizer and then the lagniappe espresso that jolte us awake and the tiny but powerful glass of lemoncello thatmsde our eyes water. And its rum by a familu and they treat you as a family member. read more

Take a pizza my heart. 5 stars to this beauty because of its food, warm service, and the crust (the wine might of also helped with the good vibes I had here). Zappoline (pizza bites) - the inside is warm, cheesy and soft with a crispy outside. The perfect way to start your carb journey here. We got two pizzas (one each). The first was with the classic tomato sauce and had Flor di latte, mozzarella, and a few other ingredients that slip my mind at the moment. It was absolutely deliciously, cooked perfectly with just enough sauce. You had to finish the crust too! The other pizza was bianche, with olive oil. Adding to our carb heaven on this pizza was potatoes, but it wasn't overwhelming! The entire pizza felt light, savory, and just perfect for the rainy day we were in. I totally recommend this place for any time!! I'm definitely going to be back. read more

Wow! Amazing warm friendly service and delicious apps and Pizzas! Who could ask for more? We enjoyed the Zeppolinis - pizza dough wrapped prosciutto cotto, ricotta and mozzarella with their homemade pepper sauce on the side! So good. A focaccia like bread basket came out with balsamic and olive oil and the homemade spicy pepper sauce and a bowl of mixed olives. Delicious and free! The we each ordered a pizza - I don't now what we were thinking ! They were big. I had the prosciutto cotto and fungi Napoli and my husband had a Santa Lucia which had cherry Tomatoes, anchovies amd cappers. Amazing Then we shared some gelato and a latte all for under 90 before tip. Great place can't wait to go back with the family! read more

No one eats more than I do. Seriously. I'm a fat fat man in a little man's body. I've eaten all over this city and only now started to write reviews, because my wife's sister got invited to be a yelp elite and she can't even boil water and only eats where I tell her to, so I'll start with my favs: Disclaimer: I don't like fresh pasta and I'm disappointed by most of the highest rated Italian restaurants on yelp. I prefer better value and nice touches like complimentary bread and olive oil. This place a very solid Italian restaurant with great free bread and every dish was good. Definitely deserves more love. read more

I'm a big fan of Napoli Centrale! I first visited NC about a month ago after noticing it a few times passing by. I was curious to try the food based on how nice the place looked from the outside. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly gentleman who showed us to our seat. The restaurant has a warm, cozy feel to it, with the delicious smell of pizza, roasting garlic, and lasagna....just writing about it makes me hungry! We decided to share a bottle of wine and the eggplant parmigiana to start. The eggplant was sooooo good!! Thin, perfectly roasted slices of eggplant were separated by a rich blend of cheese, tomato sauce, garlic, and herbs. I seriously wish I ate the whole thing myself! We then tried their special, which was a meat lasagna, and a vegetarian pizza. Though I don't eat meat, I heard nothing but rave reviews about it. And my pizza - what a pizza! The crust was perfectly thin, fluffy, and just all sorts of goodness. The sauce was amazing and the toppings were superb. What I liked most about this place was how friendly the staff was and how authentic the food tasted. I've been to a number of pizza places in the city and would definitely consider myself a pizza lover-bordering-snob. What can I say, I appreciate a good 'za. And this place definitely hits the spot! We returned again this past week and this time I tried a calzone (made deliciously vegetarian just for me!) and a pizza with sausage. Again, the service was wonderful and the food was amazing. I am so happy that Napoli Centrale has moved into our neighbourhood and cannot wait to make it part of my regular 'za rotation! Bonus points: NC has this delicious homemade chili hot sauce that is soooo tasty to dip your pizza crust into. I want to take home a whole jar of this stuff! They also serve up delicious bread and assorted olives to start. Seriously, what's not to love!? read more

We were a larger group - 6 adults and five kids (8-11). We asked for two tables - one for the kids and one for the adults. We were right by the big bright front windows, our server was amazing and made sure to put the kids order in first while the adults enjoyed our drinks before we all had delicious pizzas and pastas. Great evening out for all. read more

It was time for Perfect Pizza Quest iteration numero 6. This is a UYE primarily organized by Namrata of YelpGTA fame. This night was converged upon by about a dozen willing participants at the area of Bathurst north of Bloor and south of Dupont at Napoli Centrale who on their website claim they are authentic Neopolitan which I'm realizing isn't that unique anymore in TO. There are quite a few establishments who have this claim (VPN). The dining area is deceivingly spacious and open. You wouldn't know it by looking at the storefront but the inside is particularly wide and well lit. The bar is to the right as you enter and the oven and prep area is open concept as well. If you have a large 800+ degree oven you want to show that baby off am I right? Some of the countertops around the oven appear to be treated concrete! How cool is that? At the table we had 2 by the way, we already had water decanters as well as sliced pizza dough bread with olives and some type of pepper sauce. The sauce is really tasty, it's as if they are in little baby food jars and I couldn't quite figure out what kind of peppers they used. The color looked to be Scotch bonnet but they weren't that hot. I should have asked. The taste was great though, not too hot at all but tasty enough to dip with the bread AND use when you eat the crust of your pizza. I started off with a salad as did my wife. I had ordered a Grotto Azzura (Arugula, prosciutto, shaved parmesan, lemon and olive oil dressing) and she had the Mergellina (Mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, shaved carrot, corn, tuna, green olive, mozzarella). The salads came in full size toss bowls. They were large, I should have figured that since each was about 12 bucks but I wasn't ready for that size, just a small portion. I ended up sharing mine out. Each came with a serving tong. For pizza I had ordered the Diavolo (rossa) as I normally do at these types of places (Smoked provolone, hot soppressata salami) and my wife had ordered a Napoletana (bianche - Sausage, rapini and fior di latte). I had mine and a slice of hers. Both were very good. I enjoy this type of pizza being that it's thin and chewy. The crust at the edge seems a little thick but it's still good. I used the hot sauce they provided to eat with the crust which was just great. The Diavolo had a very nice salty taste to it. The salami was nice and spicy and the overall flavor was rich with spice and bite to it. The Napoletana was of course not as spicy since the sausage is much more bland but the rapini is a great combo with any pork in my books. It was good but having the tongue for spice I have to say I enjoyed mine much more. Over all the service was friendly. It would have nice to not have to ask for more bread and water though but the service was still good and the food was what you would expect if a place claims to be VPN certified. I enjoyed it at Napoli Centrale. read more

3.5* for food, pumped up for probably the friendliest server that I have ever met! (Un grand merci a Marie.) Located about 1.5 blocks North of Bathurst Station, in a quieter part of The Annex is this relaxed, casual, and warm pizza joint. Homemade segments of bread with a roasted red pepper/cheese spread and green/black olives were complimentary. (I must mention this, but at the bottom of the bread basket was a napkin...that was stained with the red pepper dip, underneath the bread. After that discovery, I sorta stopped eating the free bread.) Ordered: Ortolano (grilled veg) and Cappriosca pizza. Both pizzas were pretty thin crust. Sauce was fresh tasting. Good portion as I was only the eat half of the pizza. Really good pizza at a decent cost in a cozy spot! read more

I had the DIAVOLA pizza and it was pretty good. Not like I was back in Italy but still tasty. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Water, bread and olives were brought quickly. Watch out for the red condiment they bring along with the bead; it is fiery hot. I would have preferred a little balsamic and olive oil to dip the lovely bread in. I had a glass of the house red (Montepulciano D'Abruzzo, Ortona) and it was very nice (is not a little too warm for my taste). All in all a good experience and I would recommend it. read more

Napoli Centrale - DIAVOLA Smoked provolone, hot soppressata salami - Italian Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was pretty excited to try out this place after seeing all the great reviews on here. We were a pretty big group of 12. The interior is very spacious. They didn't have an issue accommodating us all at one table. As soon as we arrived we were served bread, olives and a really delicious dipping sauce made in-house. The server was very prompt at getting our drinks. I ordered the Diavola (pizza with a tomato based sauce, spicy salami and mozarella). It took a while to get our pizzas since we were such a big group. The appetizers came pretty quickly though so we still had quite a bit of food. The pizza was Neapolitan style. It tasted delicious but had a thick crust on the rims and was scarce on the salami. This seemed to be the case with all the other pizzas ordered by our group. I would rate the food 3.5 for this reason. Overall a pretty good joint to hang out. They charged us a modest 15% group gratuity. read more

We called and made a reservation on a Saturday night. My wife and I ordered a glass of wine each and a pizza each. The pizza was incredible, just the way I like it. The crust was thin and very tasty. The sauce added magic with the flavor. I asked for prosciutto on my pizza and it came covered in it...it was so delicious. This is authentic Italian pizza. The size of the pizza is just right for 1 person. The atmosphere is casual and intimate. The people working there are Italian...and they know their craft! read more

I still can remember the taste and the joy I had at eating these extraordinary pizzas! The service and the ambience is also just awesome. Being just two of us, we were not sure of how to go about ordering such that there is not much wastage, and yet we get to eat both the pizza and the garlic bread and try something else also. The waitress was helpful and solved our problem why suggesting how to go about. It was a Sunday afternoon well spent! read more

Pizza and service is excellent. We've eaten at the local restaurant and have ordered out. Really good food at a reasonable price.

I moved to Toronto few months ago and After trying the "so-called" best pizza in town, I was so disappointed. I'm picky about pizza. Last night, I was lucky to stumble upon Napoli Centrale. What a blessing!!! The ambiance is fantastic, I love the brick walls, the soft (Italian) music in the background. As soon as you enter, you see the majestic oven at the end of the room, you immediately know that only delicious wonders can come out from it. The oven is imported from Italy and it is a wood oven (big plus!!) We ordered two pizzas: Diavola and Cotto and Funghi. both tasted delicious!! Perfect crust and the toppings were super fresh. We received their own bread as appetizer, it was flavored with rosemary, so good!!. The owner (from Naples) was very friendly and service was terrific. Prices are great and way cheaper that other overrated pizzerias. Highly recommended, we will definitely go back (and soon!!). read more

I like my pies... and I really like my pies neapolitan style...and I really really like my pies neapolitan and low key non high maintenance. If you're like me you'll like Napoli centrale.

Came here with a bunch of Yelpers for the UYE pizza quest. Loved seeing them all! I ordered the Brie and Funghi pizza. It was good but I felt there was not enough mushroom. I also did not like the thick crust on the outside. It was def. nice and crunchy but I should have asked if there was an option to make it whole wheat. It was super filling. The crust did taste better when dipped with the hot sauce, which came w/ the complementary bread. Service was average. Our table was missing utensils and a cup (me). When the cup finally came (asked two times), it felt dirty on the outside and I ended up stealing/sharing with my hubby instead. Food came out fairly quickly. read more

Looking for the best Neapolitan pizza in Toronto? Head over to Napoli Centrale! What makes it so phenomenal? A crust that is crisp, softer as it gets to the centre of the pizza, but with a pillowy soft edge (under that crispy exterior) that provides the best chew; a tomato sauce that has just the right amount of acidity and fresh tomato taste; cheese that is melted just so with a beautiful flavour--in other words, perfection! It truly is. So do yourself a favour and try it yourself. read more

Enjoyed Napoli more than I had expected! I had the pizza Santa Lucia which was heavily anchovy-flavoured, which I'd recommend as long as you enjoy anchovies. My friend seemed to quite enjoy her carbonara pasta, although I can't seem to find it on Napoli's website menu. Everything is quite heavily salted, from the bread to the pizza crust, so just beware if you're watching your sodium intake. read more

Very authentic. My entire family loved it! Amazing quality and very very fresh. Hope to eat here again soon.

This is probably my favorite pizza place in Toronto. The atmosphere is really chill and trendy, yet casual. I always get the diavola pizza and it's delicious! I would definitely recommend stopping by after a day of shopping! read more
