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

    Diavola

    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.

    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.

    This is the best Italian food I've had in Toronto! So authentic and delicious. I had their gnocchi and it was amazing with rich flavors! I couldn't stop. The restaurant has a great ambiance too and excellent service. The server was super friendly and helped us choose the best items on the menu. It's not crowded, no reservations needed, feel like it's a hidden gem. Highly recommend it!!!!

    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!

    Mmm!

    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!?

    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.

    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!

    DIAVOLA
Smoked provolone, hot soppressata salami
    Ted M.

    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.

    Huge Salad!

    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.

    Badiali pizza is so delicious, I'd queue twice!…read more The first time was on a Saturday afternoon, and the line stretched all the way to the next park... The second time I was smarter and went at 2 PM on a weekday afternoon, but I still had to queue for 20 minutes. Why is it so popular? Because every slice is freshly baked, and you can hear the crispy "crunch" as you eat it--that satisfaction is simply irresistible. ‍ Mushroom White Pizza: My top choice! The crust is thick, but still incredibly crispy! The caramelized onions and large chunks of mushrooms are fragrant and have a rich texture. Margherita Pizza with Burrata Cheese: A classic among classics, light and refreshing. This is the only one of the four pizzas with a thin crust, and it's incredibly crispy. With the addition of Burrata cheese, the texture becomes exceptionally smooth and not greasy at all. Capicora Ham and Pineapple Pizza: Who says pizza can't have pineapple! The sweetness of the pineapple and the aroma of the bacon are perfectly balanced, with a slightly spicy aftertaste. The crispy onions are the perfect finishing touch, adding a delightful surprise. Vodka Pizza: While I'm not sure what it has to do with vodka, this rich, cheese-based tortilla-flavored pizza is a must-try for those who love creamy flavors. The thick crust is incredibly satisfying. Creamy Chili Sauce: Cool and slightly tangy, this refreshing dipping sauce balances the richness of the pizza. I highly recommend ordering an extra portion!

    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
