Danforth Pizza House is a new restaurant in Toronto opened more than 6 months ago.

Danforth Pizza House, established in 1964, is the oldest operating pizzeria in Toronto. We've been serving up the neighbourhoods best pie for generations and we're proud to say we continue to follow the same beloved recipe.

Finally made it here for the first time and it was definitely worth it. The pizza is some of the best I've had in the city, it's easy to tell how much effort goes into the crust as it's properly hydrated due to their multi-day process and is crispy and easy to chew. The toppings are high quality and they are generous with the amounts. We had a Bianca and a custom-order with ham, black olives, fresh garlic, and ricotta (don't sleep on the ricotta). During our wait we had a pleasant chat with the operators which made the experience that much better. I can definitely recommend this establishment and look forward to eating here regularly going forward.

Drove from Hamilton to come try this place while the sauce and crust were good the cheese was of very low quality (very chewy and hard) just made the pizza not great. The toppings were also lacking, they were only on some slices which was disappointing.

Best #1 Pizza in East York since 1964 and was in the media. Been there and now I m know why Paula Fletcher City of Toronto was there. Cash Only! Never Closed it's Doors Since 1964 Keep up the good work! Highly Recommend

Delicious pizza! I love that you can grab a quick slice if you're just passing by, but taking home a full pie for dinner is always a good idea. It always makes me smile to pass by and see them stretching the dough in the window!

Probably the best pizza in the city, this little shop has been operating for decades. The current family who run it have pizza making down to a science and are some of the nicest and most friendly people around. You can tell that they love what they do and that is reflected in every pie they serve. Sauce has the perfect tang, their cheese is prepared fresh and with their own style giving it the perfect melt and stretch, and the dough is soft with the exact bite you want. Bring cash and order lots... you won't be disappointed!

Danforth Pizza House is a charming, family-owned restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere. The owner’s sons, who run the place, are very friendly and make you feel right at home. I tried their special, and while the pizza was fresh and well-made, I found it a bit lacking in flavor. The sauce and dough could use a bit more seasoning or salt to bring out the flavors. That being said, it’s still a great spot for a casual meal. Keep in mind, they only accept cash, so be sure to come prepared!💵

My wife and I were in the area after getting off at the TTC Subway Station Donlands and came across the really eye-catching Pizza Joint. The sign stood out and grabbed our attention as soon as we were walking along Danforth, so we decided to get a pizza and let me say….. This is how a pizza should be done. We walked in and found an extremely clean place. You could tell that the people that work and own this place take pride in how they present themselves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We ordered a 12” pizza with Pepperoni, Sliced Tomatoes, Double Smoked Ham and Green Peppers. The pizza was cooked perfectly and the crust was airy and light, so tasty. The pizza sauce they used was full of flavor which is where some pizza places drop the ball. The toppings were very fresh and of great quality, especially the cheese. A bonus that was available was a few outdoor tables, where you could sit and enjoy your pizza. The only negative we had was, this place only does cash (at the time we were there), so make sure to bring some along with you. This was a great experience and we will definitely be back for great food like this. If you live in the Danforth and Donlands area, you are very lucky people. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed you did.

GREAT pizza, one of THE very best in the city, despite often being ignored in the rush to embrace new, trendy places in hipster zones. Extra cheese, well done, old school impressive 'neighbourhood style' pizza that is absolutely Top Notch!! Was great in the past, and still is!
