Hunter’s Pizza

Had been a long time since I’d been here. Went this past Saturday. It wasn’t busy at all, maybe had 4 other tables going but somehow we waited 40 minutes for our dishes. They didn’t even give us garlic bread to hold us over. I ordered Greek chicken salad. It was just ok, the chicken wasn’t tasty at all. The dressing on the salad was the only reason the chicken had flavour. He ordered the gyros platter and it was just ok and he only got one single olive in his salad. My chicken salad had no olives. (Maybe it’s not supposed to have any, not sure). Waitress was pleasant but an apology for the long wait would have been nice. I would go back to try the pizza some other time.

Hunter’s is a great family restaurant that serves generous portions of Greek salad, rice, and potatoes with a souvlaki dinner. In fact, I’m never able to finish and am always left wondering why I didn’t order a smaller portion. I usually order the chicken souvlaki dinner, and the chicken is really delicious. My kids love the pizza! Service is always friendly as well.

Bleh. Rude staff, burned burger, crappy interior. This place has gone so downhill its nuts. Not sure what has changed but this place is brutal

I only do take out from this place, I call ahead as well just because I like to be in and out. The décor really needs an upgrade and a renovation in general, it feels dingy and dirty — even though the food is amazing.
I love the food here — specifically the souvlaki, salad and tzatziki. The pizza is also really good! I’ve tried the lasagna — not a huge fan and would call it mediocre at best.
The owners — previous and current — are exceptionally wonderful and polite too which makes my visits even more pleasant. If you’re coming here I recommend to get the lunch special with all salad.
Oh I forgot to mention, the garlic bread is very good too!

So based on reviews I decided to try hunters pizza, got a medium pizza with pep and mushrooms and I must say this place is average at best. Place was also dirty. Only plus was the staff was friendly. I won’t be back.

It may say Hunter’s Pizza but they also specialize in greek food but I haven’t been disappointed with either. I have been to Hunter’s a few times and never got to reviewing it .
I find with either the souvlaki or the pizza the portions/​size are big and they are fair prize. It’s all good food so it’s why I returned a few times.

Yo star!
the thing is. Me love jerk chicken seen. So it kind of broke my heart to walk past chris jerk chicken, smell the aroma and keep on keeping on as I enter into Hunter’s pizza as they share the same plaza. The life of a foodie, I am not getting tied down to any thing no matter how strong the feeling is. I love you chris jerk but you will occasionally see me at Hunter’s pizza devouring char-​cooked chicken souvlaki and begging for more tzaziki and crunching thru fresh salad which is laced heavy with feta cheese.
Its not you Chris Jerk. Its me. For I cant be tied down. I have to go around. I’m broken and don’t want to be fixed

I’ve come to this restaurant quite a few times over the years. Regarding the look, décor and interior it isn’t quite the best. The sign visibly shows missing and faded letters and inside is dark with nothing special. The carpet was dirty for years until they finally decided to replace, otherwise no significant changes.
The old owners I have always taken a liking to, they are very friendly to everybody that enters their restaurant. Gus, also the cook, would also come out to personally greet some of the patrons and ask about the food. What it lacks for interior design, it makes up with good service.
As many of noted, the name of the restaurant is odd as this is mostly Greek food. All the souvlaki dinners are inexpensive and come with a mountain of greek salad. The meat is always juicy and flavourful, I’ve tried all of them and lamb is definitely my favourite.
The pizza is odd in a sense that the toppings are placed in the middle with the cheese covering the top. From a food engineering standpoint this is terrible, the toppings/​cheese just slides off because of the sauce IF you use your hands to eat, with a knife and fork it is no problem. The crust is thin, but not too thin like a cracker with good chew. A generous amount of toppings and cheese with perfect amount of sauce for moisture. Overall a good pizza, the only downside? A little pricey.
It recently came under new management, but they have stayed true to the food. Everything tastes similar to what I remember. I am bias as I feel the old owners had that charm, but overall still pretty good.

Pretty good Greek food.
I’ve gotten their pizzas and chicken soulvaki
I person prefer their chicken soulvaki.
The restaurant itself is on the small side and feels homey

4.5*
Not sure why this place is called pizza and burgers when the main focus seems to be Greek food. Nevertheless the food is delicious with good portion size and nice seasoning
Pork Souvlaki Lunch Special:
–Large portion size
–Rice was slightly bland but good texture
–Souvlaki had burnt edges but still delicious and tender
–Greek salad was very garlicky (in a good way), not enough feta and only one olive, still very good
Corned beef hash with 3 eggs:
–Fries perfect crispness, nice flavour of oil
–Nicely cooked eggs, toast buttered on both sides.
–Good hash but small portion
–Very tasty soup loaded with barley and meat, not too salty
Server (owner?) was very nice, good and fast service
Overall recommend, would definitely return :)

Came here with my girlfriend. No one greeted us when we waited in. After a few minutes, the one waiter in the entire restaurant told us to wait. We waited for another 10 minutes before we were given a table.
When we sat down, we were given water and we noticed that there was a white transparent substance in the water. It looked kind of like oil so we decided not to drink the water.
Now, on to the food! We ordered the chicken/​lamb souvlaki dinner with no rice, potatoes and garlic bread but instead requested for extra salad. It took half an hour for our meals to arrive.
Our salad came first, it tasted good. It’s hard to mess up Greek salad. Then came a basket of garlic bread with cheese that we asked to be replaced with salad. However, we decided to keep the garlic bread any way and I’m glad we did because my girlfriend liked it! It looked delicious because of the cheese but I didn’t try it. Following this, we received our entrees (souvlaki), which we expected to have extra salad instead of rice or potato but all we got was the meat with tzatziki sauce. We felt really disappointed.
In terms of atmosphere, as you would probably read from other posts, was dated, dirty and had carpet. The fans over the turned off lights were spinning out of control. It felt like a horror movie as it looked like it would have fallen any minute and chopped someone’s head off.
In conclusion, we will not be coming back because of the poor service due to understaffing, the cleanliness and the poor quality of food. Our total came to around $ 35 for a skewer of meat per person, a salad and garlic bread, which seems like a rip off to us!
Thank you for your services and we hope your business improves!

Signage/​exterior is about as appealing as a foot rub from someone you’re not into, however, it was worth the drive to Scarborough. We had fries to start… hot, crispy; hit the spot. Then, the souvlaki lunch special: Chicken over rice, plus salad. Surprised by the American-​sized portion. Simply divine. The meat was perfectly seasoned and grilled, the salad dressing was addictive, and the charming server (June, I believe) was delightful. We tipped generously, and she’s the reason for returning. Best of all, the price: $ 19.80 for two people. (Keep in mind, we drank water.)

Probably a 3.5÷5 in reality. Had the chicken souvlaki, it was good but not extraordinary though. Took a pizza away, this is where it is at for Hunter’s. Much better than what you can get in the area, and certainly better than chain pizza. Word of advice though, the deluxe seems like a kick ass idea, but with all the toppings it makes for a very messy eating experience, but now you know.
Décor is dated as many described already, but I thought the service was pretty good for one person working the room.
Will get food here again, for sure.

Hunters Pizza seems more focused on Greek food and pizza. However, I came for pizza so I’m getting pizza.
The restaurant itself looks pretty bad from the outside, with its fading sign and all, but was much better as soon as you walk inside. Décor seemed a little bit old though. Clientele are much older than I would imagine, but it led to a more family restaurant feel.
Ordered the medium pepperoni and mushroom pizza, while also ordering some garlic rolls with cheese, because why not. The pizza itself certainly wasn’t the greatest as they tried sneaking all the ingredients, the pepperoni and mushrooms, beneath the cheese so that it’s layered between the cheese and the crust. Normally, I like these kinds of pizzas, but it didn’t work well here as the cheese never stuck on and kind of slid off which wasn’t good. However, the pizza tastes pretty good and I liked the crust and the use of just the right amount of sauce.
The food was OK, but service was great as the owners are running around trying to make sure everyone is being taken care of. The place definitely has the feel of a home with the décor to boot. They’ve got some TV’s scattered about as well, but I categorize this more as a Greek family restaurant than a pizzeria.

Great locally owned place with a mix of Greek food and pizza. Although the combo is kind of weird (not really), the pizza is really good. Freshly baked, and clearly made in house.
Their souvlaki is quite good as well, not dry, and for some reason, their salad is really good.

3.5 stars
Decent portions. Decent price.
Good tasting Food. Old fashioned ambience.

4.5÷5 is the star rating I would give this place.
I recently went here with an amazing friend since we heard such great things about this place. I ordered the chicken souvlaki on rice with a Greek salad and he ordered the chicken souvlaki on a pita with a Greek salad. $ 9 lunch special. What more can you ask for. The chicken was nice and juicy and the salad was freshly made. The service was fantastic and there is definitely a warm at home feeling when you walk in. Nothing flashy and in your face. You can tell that this place has been running so many years due to the repeat customers and their amazing food.
I cannot wait to come back and try the other dishes that they have on their menu!

Hunter’s is the go-​to place for lunch as it’s the closest Greek restaurant to workplace. Further, we often have our meetings catered from here.
Hunter’s serves fresh pizza and yes, it is good, but I have had better. I have tried their pork and chicken souvlaki meals more than a handful of times and they are standard quality, similar to food court quality. However, I must say, their lemon roasted potatoes are amazing. Warning: They do not allow substitutes on lunch specials.
When you first walk in, you automatically get the sense that this is a family-​owned restaurant. The place is dark, even when it’s bright outside. The restaurant is carpeted and who knows when they last changed it. The décor is extremely old and tacky and not appropriate for 2014, 2009 or 2004 for that matter. The service is quite slow and often there is only one waitress serving all the tables.
Despite how much I dislike the décor and service, I will likely return because it’s the only place that serves somewhat decent Greek food and pizza in the neighbourhood.

A suggestion from a Unilocal friend when I said was looking for some local cheap non-​Asian food. I’d never even heard of this place which surprised me because it’s less than 5 minutes from my house and when I pulled up I could see why. It’s in a trashy nondescript strip plaza with a worn out fading blue on white sign. The kind of place that’s easy to miss. The interior is just as uninspiring: dark, old wood furniture mixed with plastic (wood pattern! Haha) panelled furniture and walls, kitschy oil paintings and old battered menus.
That menu is pretty expansive with a mix of diner food staples, pizza, and Greek food. Don’t expect anything too expansive in the Greek direction: they have souvlaki and a couple other dishes, but it’s not a full on Greek restaurant. Or as the lady beside us said: «Do y’all have that cheese you set on fire?» Haha. No they don’t have saganaki.
I had the Chicken Souvlaki on a Pita lunch special and it was at this point that I learned how this place has stayed open for so long: the food! It was great for the price, the chicken, onions, tzatziki and tomato, were creamy messy awesome on the pita, and the salad was plentiful with a lot of feta (the best part!) tzatziki wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was pretty strong. Chicken was well spiced and cooked perfectly. The rice I stole from my lunch dates plate was pretty great too.
I’ll definitely have to come back again some evening to try the Pizza and some other dishes.
Service was friendly, familial and warm. The kind of place that when they say goodbye as you leave they’re saying it because they actually appreciate the business not because they’ve been told to.
Hunter’s seems to be one of those quiet places that get by on the strength of the food and a steady repeat crowd. There’s a reason all the furniture signs and menus are so worn out…

Hunter’s Pizza is one of those hidden gems in Scarborough. You drive up to the plaza, walk-​in, and may ask yourself if it’s a good idea to. Believe me, if you’re looking for a nice pie, you won’t be disappointed. Not only is the food good, the staff there are just very warm. You’ll feel very much at home here.
[Sides]
Poutine — Honestly, there’s nothing «special» about it but it is really good. I normally like having a side of poutine with a sandwich or a burger but I’ll have this with pizza. ⁵⁄₅.
Onion Rings — Pretty much your standard onion rings that are not at all disappointing. Great as a side if you want something crunchy and lighter.
[Main]
Pizza — If you can’t figure out what toppings to choose and aren’t picky, get the Hunter’s Deluxe Pizza. Toppings include tomato cause, cheese, pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, bacon, onions, green peppers and sliced tomatoes. Crust is nice and crispy and you get a generous amount of toppings. Definitely a must try for all pizza lovers. If you have any leftovers, these pies toast very well in the toaster oven. ⁵⁄₅.
Souvlaki Dinners — I’ve tried their pork, chicken and lamb and all are very good. Even the lamb and I’m normally not a lamb eater. You get a good amount of greek salad and potatoes on the side. ⁵⁄₅
Banquet Burger — The patty itself is very juicy and is a good size. You also get a good amount of bacon strips on your burger. Definitely worth a try especially if you want a more affordable meal. Cost me less than $ 5! ⁵⁄₅
