Da Venezia

I absolutely love this pizza place! Always fresh, always tasty, and the owner is super friendly!

Great local pizza shop, the best in the area. Large selection of pizza with a wide range of flavours, Bianca being the favourite (artichoke, zucchini and feta cheese). The people that work here are friendly and helpful with menu items.

Well, I gave them 2 out of 5 because to be fair, my potato pizza was tasty, cooked through and as bland as I wanted it to be, but only because I had the foresight to request well done thin crust. Minor dietary restrictions almost takes regular pizza off the table for me otherwise. My partner was less fortunate. He was the reason we even ordered pizza. He's the aficionado that ensured we drive over to pick up fresh so he could enjoy it hot (we live nearby and would normally walk). His was the deep dish 'Chicago' style pizza. The base of this normally classic pie was easily 1" of thick dough, soft and terribly undercooked. Ever eat raw yeast dough?!? ....not something our tummies, tastebuds nor wallets should be forced to endure. Even though our personal mantra has always been to support the local small business owners first - since well before the pandemic, we had to take a second look at whether such lofty ideals are worthwhile anymore after the owner immediately started yelling incoherently on the phone as I presented our findings to him in my usual friendly tones. In letting the store know of his unfortunate gooey mess, the owner did NOT want to hear about it, was highly dismissive of our complaint (view pics). As an aside --- correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the premise of the Chicago-style deep-dish pizza pie where the fillings are cheesy and deep? .....as opposed to the base itself. The dough was easily an inch thick, and looked like a pull apart tube of raw freezer dough. Too bad. We've seen this little pizzeria in our neighbourhood for a number of years now and thought to finally give them a try. It's my fault that we vetoed Maker pizza across the street..... but it's now quite clear: DaVenezia Pizzeria not standing behind our very disappointing weekly takeout supper is not helping my side of the argument of "supporting the little guy". Sowumm, the long and the short of my lament here? ....thanks for a gooey ball of nothingness! After working 7 days a week, we just weren't up for running right back after we finally settled in with what was supposed to be our highly anticipated neighbourhood treat. If nothing else, DaVenezia now serves a role of making their competitors directly across the street that much more attractive for future pizzas. And apparently, Maker Pizzeria would have stood behind their product if a similar such incident were to occur with their orders. I was assured the likelihood of practically raw pizza would be slim to none anyhow. So don't go there - DO avoid DaVenezia, unless you like to gamble with your well-deserved supper. Do yourself a big favour ~ avoid the high risk of letdown by getting that luscious 'likely actual gourmet' pie across the street instead. Hey, maybe Da Venezia Pizzeria will just continue to succeed as they have by continuing to serve local high school students their pizza slice daily specials instead. I wish them and their diners' sorry pizza-bellies all the best! Too bad such a simple wish just wasn't in the cards for us too, at least not yesterday.

My favourite local place. The crust has the perfect soft/chewy/crispy ratio. The house garlic dipping sauce is everything.

Amazing crust. So simple but so good. Its like ive never eaten a proper crust before. Thin, fluffy, yet crispy on the bottom. Garlic dip is homemade, thinner than big chains. Little yogurt? Like Tzitki garlic sauce. I really like it. It's a fairly small space. There are 2 four-Seater tables, 2 two-Seater tables. Seems like a walk- in, or delivery, oriented as there doesn't appear to be a customer washroom. Huge windows at the front made for nice window seating. Usual sodas and juice are available as well as some slightly different drinks: San pelligrino, brio, and pedra salgadas sparkling mineral water. Despite being a small business theres no extra charge on card payment. 3-4 street parking spots out front on Avenue road. Pay parking Mon-Sat 8:00AM—9:00PM, SUN 1:00PM-9:00PM. Or if you're lucky to find street parking on the residential street south of the store. I regret not coming here sooner!

Just tried this place for the first time. Got thin crust with artichoke and goat cheese. Very fresh ingredients and real Italian style pizza. Fair price also.

This family owned and operated pizza place is my favourite pizza in Toronto. It's the perfect crust thickness with the right crispiness. Both the Canadiana and Chicken Pesto are two of my favs.

I have to admit this is one of the best pizza places around. Taste is fantastic and fresh. Way better then most other places that put way to much oils on there pizza.
