Pizza La Rosa

Well, this is a landmark moment as my (possibly) last review of 2015, and 2015 was quite the year for me. This is number 175 for me and this was technically my first year that really used Unilocal despite registering last year. I look back through my review and 170 out of my 175 happen this year which I call pretty good. Im sure others have probably writen 200,300 maybe even 500 reviews this year. So this was fitting place to review for this moment given I enjoy it.
Anyways onto the great pizza I had. Pizza La Rosa, is in small plaza near Swiss Chalet, well behind it, there are alot of places to eat in area at Sheppard and Victoria from Harvey, to Big Fat Burritos to Esquires and well the biggest landmark in area Johnny’s (line are too long for me to go there anymore)
So Pizza seem like a good idea and between the Italian herb in sauce that made it taste so good to friendly owner to great deal and value what is there not to like.
You get the trio of what you want, great food, great service and good value. You wont see 8.99 for a 3 topping medium at most place not to mention its 7.99 as walk in special and the large is like 2 buck more so large 3 topping for 11,12 buck is a great catch.
The owner and his wife are Indian, so Halal is an option if you want it which is probably a good idea, they were vote best Halal pizza in Toronto., and they are pretty nice to chat up even me as first timer, treated like a regular, thou it seem like everyone who came where long time regular which is good thing
The food is totally worth it, that sauce, those toppings, the price, it not hard to know why they survived for 15 years especially with Johnny’s nearby.

This «gold mine» on Victoria Park makes the absolute best Spaghetti Bolognese in Toronto! I’ve never even found spaghetti sauce this fantastic in high-​end Italian restaurants. I stumbled into this place and brought home a dinner order of spaghetti. Honestly, I almost cried it was so UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME! I later found out the owner’s background is in fine dining, no wonder! Old school spaghetti with meat sauce made with beef & veal, HUGE portion, fresh ingredients, PERFECT blend of garlic and seasonings, even the salt is in perfect balance. I often long for this at night when I’m home and I’m not even a pasta person. Try it, maybe you’ll want to cry too!

They make the great pasta and lasagna. The pizza was also great too of course, and a lot of topping options. The boss recommend ice cream as well, will try it out the next time.

One of my favourite hidden gems in Scarborough — the owner has some pretty impressive credentials!

Friendly and courteous service! We ordered the walk-​in pizza special (med 3 toppings 7.99 $) and lasagna! Pizza is super good, fresh ingredients, crust was perfect to my taste and generous toppings. Next time ai will ask for extra sauce! The LASAGNA is completely delicious! Yum!!! Seasoned perfectly, fresh and big portion! Simply amazing!!! Pizza La Rosa, you have a made yourself a new happy customer!

Went in yesterday to place an order to take home. The owner (I think) was very friendly and professional. While I waited I brought over a soft setve ice cream, which was really nice. I ordered the veggie and the Italian. Not only did the pizza’s look super appetizing, they were also delicious. If you love super spicy food, try the Italian, it was real good and spicy.

I ordered online for delivery and received an automated confirmation. I waited 1 hour.
I then called 4 times (to check on my order) and got the voicemail every time. I left a message. I asked the hotel front desk to call the same number; they answered.
They said they never received my order (I have the email confirmation to prove it) and that they don’t deliver to my hotel anyway.
Horrible communication and customer service.

This is my favorite pizza place now. It is ranked as the NO. 1 halal pizza place by blogto. It is family run and the owners provide good customer service every time.
They make fresh dough everyday, which is the secret to their delicious pizzas. Any pizza you pick, will be made with fresh ingredients, care and awesomeness. I once asked the owner about franchising, he simply answered, «I care about how each pizza tastes, so the quality is my top concern».
I just wish they had pizza margherita, as it will taste awesome made with their dough.

2 times I ordered online from this place, both time they cancelled my orders, will never order back from this restaurant, what a joke!

So so good. Pizza is delicious and hearty. And the chicken wings taste so homemade and so delicious! Also they’re not like monster-​sized, creepy, genetically modified chicken wings like what you might see often at a chain restaurant. Seriously good!

Just found this place and been twice in 2 days.
First, the prices are fantastic. Not sure how they can afford it.
The owners are great the place clean and has decent seating for what is primarily a take out place. First time in got a 3 topping medium pizza for $ 9 with taxes, even for a crappy pizza $ 9 would have been worth it. This pizza however was not crap, it was in fact pretty awesome. Next day I went back to try one of their sandwiches (chicken parm.) it was real good size and very tasty. I will certainly be visiting this place again.
The only thing I did not enjoy on my visits was the bacon I ordered for my pizza was clearly not bacon… but that is on me because I was aware this place was halal before I went in and forgot that when picking toppings. The replacement wasn’t bad, just wasn’t what I was expecting.

I’ve been here a few times in the past year. Hubby and I normally share a pizza and salad. Really enjoy both. Ingredients are fresh every time and well prepared. Owner/​staff are always friendly. We always like eating at the restaurant which has only a few tables, but we are usually the only ppl there so we get great attention!
Last visit we shared the lasagna which I really wanted to try after reading another review, a large garden salad, and veal parm sandwich. And 2 drinks. I think the total was about $ 30. The lasagna was delicious and a good size portion. The noodles were al dente and the sauce was perfectly meaty and balanced. I can’t wait to go back for lasagna again! After having half the lasagna and half the salad, there was no room for me to eat the veal sandwich. I doggie bagged it for the next day. It was good but probably better if I’d have eaten it fresh. Oh well next time maybe… If I don’t get the lasagna, which is unlikely!
Other stuff to note. Parking can be difficult in the plaza but we always find a spot. Washroom is new and clean. The place overall is small but new and clean. There’s a television playing cp24. Lots of drink options (including San Pellegrino).

I tried their pizza for the first time last night at a friends place. I immediately fell in love with it. The dough has some seasoning that makes it distinguishable and delicious. I crave the pizza again today so I drove all the way from Markham to get some more. Since I also love lasagne I got that too.
Wow the lasagne was also great.
The owner is very friendly and as I walled in he mentioned all the specials going on inclduing their discounts on pizza with three toppings. This is a walk in special so I got a large pizza for 9.99. How awesome is that?
I highly recommend this place. If you dont try it you will miss out on a lot.
Cheers

Tried their walk in special yesterday (medium pizza with 3 toppings for 7,99 $). So delicious, especially the sauce.

Simply a new taste of pizza that is delicious in every bite. The owner and staff are friendly people. The meat is all halal. Great place to go for wings as well

Their pizza is so delicious! Full of cheese and tomato sauce! And the owner is super nice!

How many things could possibly be wrong?
1 Prices on their website are inaccurate
2 They have a ridiculously small delivery radius
3 Their chicken wings aren’t remotely good. Not sure where you other guys are comparing them to, but you need to expand your horizons.
4 The salads are stingy, with terrible dressings and old veggies
5 The pizza, is mushy, flavorless, and infinitely worse than Pizza Nova, Domino’s, and even Pizza Pizza. Enough said.

Given the choice I would rather support small local owners instead of big franchises. So when my coworkers voted on a pizza lunch I suggested to try Pizza La Rosa instead of Pizza Pizza or Pizza Nova. I am happy I made that choice.
I was reading their flyers and they claim to make their own sauce and dough, they are never frozen. The flour is also top grade from Italy, 100% vegan, no additives and preservatives and no sugar added. It all sounds great and the food quality is obviously higher. We ordered two walk in specials, large pizza with 3 toppings each. They don’t skimp on their toppings and the cheese, omg the cheese. The crust was also very tasty, you can smell there’s herbs and spice on the crust. I can eat the bread all by itself.
From the outside it looks like its a take out place, but inside there’s about 4 tables so its great for a quick bite in the area. The owner is hilarious and really friendly. Service is top notch and I would definitely recommend trying their pizza.

Me and my SO have been going to Pizza La Rosa about 2 months since they opened. I am really impressed at the service and the quality of the food. Prices are so cheap, and the food is always delicious!
We often get their walk-​in special, medium 3-​topping pizza for $ 7.95. Whever we order pizza, I always ask for extra La Rosa sauce coz the sauce is just wayyyy too tasty! They also put such a generous amount of toppings on the pizza!
From their menu, I have tried their lasagna (really meaty!), chicken wings (10 big wings, and very saucy), poutine (yummy), and meatball sandwich (huge & super tasty sandwich) as well. All excellent! I will definitely try more from their menu and I know I won’t be disappointed. Servings are huge for what you pay, money well spent!
I have been to Pizza La Rosa many times and I just love how they would add in some items ‘on the house’. About a week ago I got a free dipping sauce, and today I got free jalapenos on my pizza.
I highly recommend this place. The owners provide stellar customer service. I am a regular and I visit every week. This place is my go-​to pizza and pasta place, no other place can match the food quality and service that Pizza La Rosa offers.

I love these small pizza joints and all their amazing walk-​in specials.
Pizza La Rosa is this tiny corner pizza spot in the same plaza as Tone Tai Supermarket. The place itself isn’t really meant for eating in and is strictly takeout or delivery. The food there is Halal and they have quite a bit of stuff besides pizzas and wings.
The one special we enjoy is the Medium Pizza, 10 wings, sodas, and dipping sauce for $ 17! They have a variety of toppings to choose from, with nothing very unique though. Besides our standard pepperoni, they have grilled chicken, italian sausage, and a mess load of other toppings. Pizza is cooked nicely, and though it doesn’t show, I believe you can ask them to have it well-​done or lightly cooked.
The wings were actually pretty good. They were drowning in sauce because of the container, but the wings at the top were juicy and lightly grilled.
The specials are great as you can pretty much steal pizza and wings. They do deliver, but it’s through a third party so there are extra fees tacked on, but laziness is expensive.
