    This place was Awesome (literally, with a capital "A"). It is located in a small strip mall with a ton of parking available. It is a family friendly joint with a full bar, and a decent sized dining are with tables and hi-tops. They have televisions in the dining area and over the bar that were playing sports while I was there. They resturant has a laid back kind of vibe. The staff there was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. They serve a wide range of food including fries, onion rings, salads and pizzas. They look like they are known for their pizzas though. They also have some tasty looking shakes, cookies, cheesecake, and floats. There are also some adult beverage available for those that care to indulge. They serve a lot of halal food, but I have no idea what that is. I got the Whole Hog individual pizza for me and the cheese pizza for the littles. It took about 10 minutes for us to get our food. It was so delicious. I loved it. The littles liked theirs too. The little also got one of their strawberry cheese cake shakes. It was as good as it looked. I highly recommend checking this place out. It is a bit off of the beaten path, but well worth the drive. I highly recommend checking this spot out. They have high quality food and first class service.

    Been wanting to try deep dish pizza for awhile now and finally got to try this place. I came in with pretty high expectations as I've heard good things about the pizza. I should've tried classic flavours but got something I don't usually get so maybe that's why I wasn't too much of a fan. I was hoping the pie wouldn't taste too doughy. We placed an order on the app and still had a bit of a wait. The place itself wasn't too bad to hang around at. Would try another dish again next time.

    This is one of the few places in the GTA that you can get real Chicago style pizza. Ironic, given that Chicago is relatively near! Tried a small Deep Dish Meat King, with creamy garlic drizzle. It was great: a meaty, tasty mess. The drizzle offset the flavour of the rest of the pizza pleasantly. Also had the small Deep Dish Smokey. It was also a tasty mess, with lots of cheese & toppings, which was gratifying. It was a little dry, with not that much sauce, but given that it was BBQ sauce more would've been too heavy. Meat King was better as the Smokey was a little too heavy with the smoked mozzarella & BBQ sauce.

    On a Friday night after a busy week at work, the last thing I wanted to do was prepare dinner. We drove out to Mississauga to check out Mickey's as we had heard a lot of good things about their pizzas. A fan of deep dish, we ordered two types of pizzas from the menu. The garlic sauce that they will drizzle on your pizza is a nice touch. I was starving because we had to wait 40 minutes for our order so standards were honestly low. In spite of this, I wasn't blown away by these pizzas. It's not like Pizza Pizza (taste wise), but was it worth driving to Mississauga and wait close to an hour? No. It was meh. Good for: deep dish pizza

    Simply great pizza and an owner the cares about her customers. Friendly service. We had the whole hog deep dish pizza and a build your own bacon mushroom pepperoni. Also had the Deluxe pizza but forgot to take the photo. Note we live 45 mins from the restaurant so it's been reheated in an air fryer. Still amazing.

    5/5! Absolutely love it here! Probably the best pizza in Mississauga - very unique, filling, and tasty! You can get two styles of pizzas - the regular thin pizza (like at other establishments) or the signature deep dish "dragon" pizza. The thin pizzas are cheaper than the deep dish ones. There are also two sizes of each pizza - a regular sized and one that is larger - to cater to your hunger. The dragon pizza is a Chicago style deep dish pizza made with as little or as many toppings as you like. There are various preset ingredient combinations and there are various ingredients you can choose from for a custom made combination. If you love the classic pepperoni and cheese pizza, you will absolutely LOVE it here - the cheese is very gooey and stringy on the pizza when you take a bite and they layer the pepperoni so each bite has several pepperonis. Amazing. Stuff. Omg. My personal favourite toppings are the pepperonis, mushrooms, sausages, and extra cheese. The pizza takes about 25-30 minutes to be made - so definitely come here hungry but also patient! Trust me, the wait will be worth it. I'm a huge fan of this place and I'm a regular customer for sure.

    FOOD: I had come here on a Saturday evening at around 7:00 pm for a deep-dish pizza, as I had heard great things about this type of pizza from this establishment. I had settled on the Baby Killer King Dragon Pizza ($10.45), which was good to feed 1-2 people; the only additional topping that I had ordered was pepperoni, which was an additional $1.90. In terms of the pizza itself, I was actually surprised to see how small it was, I was expecting it to be bigger. However, once I had bit into it, I noticed that it was quite deep, which was filling in itself. The only thing that I wasn't too keen on was that there was only a thin layer of sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on the top, with the remaining thickness consisting of crust, which included a lot of inner bread, along with a thick layer on the bottom. The pizza itself was "okay" however, nothing that I hadn't had before. I felt that I paid quite a lot for a pizza which consisted mostly of bread and crust, which I didn't find as appetizing as I would have hoped. I could tell that a lot of work was put into making the pizza appear presentable, which was something that I appreciated of the staff. ATMOSPHERE: This establishment was situated in a small strip plaza on Lakeshore Road West in Mississauga. The other businesses were not busy as it was a Saturday evening therefore, parking was easy to find. However, there was no seating available inside or out, which made it difficult for me to eat my pizza hot (I had to drive home which was a good distance away before I could eat it comfortably). I found that the place was also quite narrow, which made it difficult for people who were leaving, and those that were coming-in to order. There was a lot of signage on the walls, with the menu written in chalk near the front door. I found the menu to be very confusing, as there were too many options, and with people walking back and forth in front of me, it wasn't easy to read at all. It was also loud and hot inside, which made it uncomfortable as we waited for the pizza to be made, which was 25 minutes. I wished there were more places to sit, or even a more straightforward menu which was easy to navigate. SERVICE: When I had gone to the cashier to place my order, I found that he was very pleasant, along with being quite patient, considering it was my first time, and I was unsure of specific things related to the ordering procedure and ingredients available. When I was waiting for my pizza, I was told that the cook had a question for the sauce on the top. He was also quite pleasant, and waited for me to come in from outside where I was waiting. I found that the staff were helpful, which made me happy to see. COST: 1 Baby Killer King Dragon Pizza ($10.45) + Extra Topping (Pepperoni; $1.90) = $12.35 + Tax = $13.95 WOULD YOU RETURN? No; I didn't feel that the money was worth the pizza that I had received. I also didn't enjoy the atmosphere, and wouldn't want to have to take my pizza home to eat once again.

    3.5 I'm conflicted on what to rate this place. I opted for takeout and was really excited to try this deep dish pizza. The reviews looked good and the pics did too. After confirming with the servers this is what I was expecting, I was eager to order. The order came in a cute takeout box with a dragon on top (my mistake for not taking a picture). I opted for a cheese deep dish pizza. By the time I got home it was cold already, so I had to reheat the pizza which was no problem (my commute was long). I reheated in the oven and it warmed up nicely. The cheese was very melty and delicious...but the pizza wasn't exactly deep dish like in Chicago (you can see in the picture). I mean it was good I have to say and made some great leftovers for lunch the next day, but it wasn't deep dish. For the price point of about $20 and the drive, I probably won't be going back anytime soon. But it does taste quite good. If you live nearby then by all means check it out, but I wouldn't say it's worth the trek from RHill.

    Still just as delicious as the first time! I keep coming back here even though I live in Scarborough, no deep dish spot compares!

    Lots of dough, but loved that It was super cheesy. I thought it was average, good but not super amazing. I feel like the large should really be a medium. The topping prices are really overpriced, I definitely don't feel like it's worth it. The sauces were pretty good, I think they add it a little excessively, but it was not off putting. Overall: 5/10 would recommend

    We drove more than 45 min to the new Oakville location. It is very aesthetic and spacious. Ordered the Pappy's Chicken pizza with classic and cilantro sauce. Tasted amazing. Definitely worth another visit. Halal too so it's a plus!

    Ok! Wowowow. I'll be the first to admit i'm a picky pizza takeout eater. When the pies get to $20…read moreper I am hard to judge if it's worth it. Do not sleep on trying this spot! Worth it for sure. Spicy Italian: if you like salami and banana peppers, you would love this. It was the perfect amount of heat without taking away from the flavour of the sauce and dough. Peach: I was very hesitant because I'm on team "pineapple does not belong on pizza" but this was wonderful. Peach, prosciutto, balsamic and goat cheese. This is a white based pizza! Hot tip ask for parmesean too so it's more cheesy. Pazucchi: green olives, broccoli, zucchini. If you love greens perhaps this is for you. I personally liked this one the least because I enjoyed the mix of the other flavours more. But it wasn't bad if I added their homemade garlic dipping sauce! I think I'll head back here for pickup again soon and try some other interesting pizzas!

The ingredients were fresh, cheese nice & stretchy, and a perfect amount of sauce. The wings were also really good - a little toasty and super tasty. Service was also great. Very polite and friendly! Like I said, a little out of our way, but totally worth the trip. We'll definitely be back!

    5 star may skew a little on the high end, but I'd lean this way more than 4 stars…read more Funny enough, I have never tried Blondies pizza, though they're well known from starting in Leslieville years ago and now expanding in a few other locations. We were meeting my parents who are in Halton and were wanting pizza, and this came up on the search. It's actually quite a large space, which may surprise some. There's a couple long tables on one side that could seat up to 12 people. And then there's several tables that seat up to 4 people on the other side. And they are set up for dine-in even more than I expected as the pizza was served on the elevated trays when it came out, along with proper dinnerware (non disposable). It's a total guess, but I feel it may be called Blondies since about half their pizzas are on a white sauce. In spite of that, we went with two large pizzas made with red sauce. One with pepperoni, mushroom and olives, and the other (Don't think, sparkle!) with salami, sausage and bacon. We also ordered hot wings and the kale caesar salad. The pizza came out super quick, so it really is the NY style, high heat pizza. All the toppings were great quality, including the mushrooms which were whole button mushrooms rather than just diced. About every single person commented on how the crust was. A crunch base, but also nice and chewy, and the end crust was so tasty that it was a joy to eat itself (well, with some of the great dip). There were 6 of us, and it exceeded expectations for everyone, and may kids even ate more than they typically do. The wings were good and worth ordering, but didn't stand out too much. I really liked the kale caesar salad, as did my dad, but you do of course have to enjoy kale. Coming to the end of the review, I'm not even sure saying 5 stars is generous. It's pretty deserving and not far off the top of my list.

As an aside, my search was motivated by an extreme hatred for Pizza Pizza. As a Raptors fan, I was always infuriated that Raps fans at the ACC were more interested in cheering for their free slice of cardboard when the team scored 100 points than the home team winning the game. Plus, I believe that people who like this product (I refuse to call it pizza) have taste like an onion. Anyways, having said that, I believe that Fantastico's is the anti-Pizza Pizza, in that it is delicious. The toppings are fresh, the crust is seasoned and flavorful, and the sauce is tasty as well. Plus, it is cooked in a wood burning oven. In fact, the whole kitchen is open concept as these guys have nothing to hide and everything happens right in front of your very eyes. It is quite obvious this restaurant is proud of their pies. The service here is also top notch. The staff on the phone are very polite, and welcoming. The staff in store also make you feel like a valued customer. Very hospitable. All around, a great experience. Oakville as a town has strange taste, for the most part, and seems to love chain restaurants. This makes it all the more rewarding to find an independent place with a product far superior to the chains. Fantastico Pizza, I salute you!
