Sfizio Pizzeria & Wine Bar

Pros: Haven’t had service this good in a while, slightly above average pizza at a decent price.
Con: Décor a little tacky, wine a little expensive, aisles a little squished.
Verdict: Would recommend.

Big fan! Came here with a co-​worker for lunch, and they have a neat deal where you get a half pizza, salad (garden or caesar) and a few little pieces of bruschetta.
Service was quick and attentive, and our server made sure to take our order before a big table put theirs in.
Loved the pizza, great crust! We both had the spicy salami, prosciutto and mozzarella, and both disappeared quickly.
Will definitely stop by again when working downtown!

On first walking in, one is surprised that such a restaurant exists at Sherbourne on Bloor. The décor is dated, and tired, but you can tell by the meals on peoples plates that the food is a cut above. Owner run and managed (he makes the Pizza in their wood oven), the service is just ok, but the food is outstanding; making up for everything else. I will be back; often. The tomato sauce is excellent, the pizza is delicious, and the arancini balls were eaten up in seconds. Everyone at our table loved the fresh food.
Enjoy!

The food was very good, generously portioned, and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was nice, casual, friendly. The service, however, was EXTREMELY slow, even though the restaurant was at most 75% full. We waited for approximately 40 minutes for our appetizer, and 20 minutes for our pizzas (after we finished the appetizer). The proprietor was apologetic, and insisted on a complimentary dessert, even though we were stuffed. It took over 2 hours to have a 3-​course meal — good thing we weren’t in a rush!

Located along the non touristy and «down to earth» part of Bloor Street (East), Sfizio is family owned, family run, and family happy.
Originally from Abruzzi, what travel gurus call the new Tuscany, the proprietors brought in a brick pizza oven that is the very foundation of Sfizio’s Pizzeria. However, Sfizio is more of an osteria than a pizzeria and Italian appetizers, pastas, and good wines are on offer.
The pizza is prepared in the Italian manner, with great crusts and sauce, but with a scarcity of mozzarella and other cheeses. Alas, I am not cosmopolitan enough to appreciate this pizza, and on return would order additional cheese to compliment my Margareta Pizza.
This is a wonderful spot, filled with the sound of happy diners celebrating the essence of food, wine and camaraderie. My taste in pizza is just «my taste,» and other folks would love the ambiance, warmth, and kitchen at Sfizio.

The ratings is only for the coffee, wine, and pizza.
Coffee is excellent, I come at least once per working day for a fix of espresso.
Good wine selection for a wide price range (of course with great bias towards Italian wines). No sommelier, but the servers are well-​versed with their stock, every single recommendation has been on point.
Pizza is exceptional, with great variety. You can also custom it to your taste if needed be, as it will be freshly made right in front of your eyes (they have a stone oven built-​in).
Service is attentive and professional, with a touch of Italian energy and warmth. Flavio will treat you not just like a customer, but also like a long time friend (as long as he gets his morning espresso, and some ladyfingers with it). Camilla is an absolute sweetheart, and the chef will occasionally come out to check if you are satisfied with the food, when things are not really busy (which means he doesn’t come out that often, actually).
Overall, excellent coffee and pizza, good wines, excellent service, no verdict on the rest. Solid choice if you are in the area for lunch time.

I had the pizze diavola which was excellent. Friendly staff made sure I had everything I needed. Service with a smile and a thank you. Thanks for making an out of towner from the states feel welcome.

I LOVE Italian food and this is really really good. Everything was amazing. I would definitely recommend this place.

Staff was great and the food was delicious. The Nutella pizza was also really tasty and sinfully rich.
When I first arrived the waitress sang the praises of the restaraunt, mentioning how everyone says it’s delicious and that se say it’s just like Italy. I thought to myself «Okay lady, slow down, it sounds like you’re compensating…» but believe it or not I really don’t think she’s wrong! The food was really wonderful (San Marzano tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella… all DOP) and as someone who was been to Rome (albeit the touristy parts), this pizza was better than what I had in Italy.

Very friendly staff. Pizza was good. Chocolate dessert was amazing. Only problem was that pasta, garlic breads etc. wasn’t available due to the oven not working.

I like to consider myself a pizza enthusiast. I am always looking for the best pizza wherever I go, and try to lean on trip advisor or Unilocal when locating the best. I’ve now spent a couple evenings over the last couple weeks in a place which I would consider to have the BEST pizza I have ever had outside of Italy. Sfizio is, unequivocally, my favorite pizza in Toronto. I’ve tried the rest of the so called «best pizza» restaurants in town, and I stand by my statement. I have had both the traditional Margherita pizza as well as my favorite, the Diavola (without olives, I’m not a monster). One word… perfection. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is perfect for either a date night or just a casual night out for a bite to eat. The rest of the menu looks authentic and delicious and there is a pretty nice wine list to pair with your meals. I will be sure to try many of the other dinner options in the coming weeks. Highly recommended!

As soon as you walk in and you’re greeted by the pizza chef and the stone oven, you instantly feel at home! The food is sensational and the staff is all very happy and friendly. I will definitely be back for all you can eat pizza night!

Great good and wonderful staff.

It was our first time at this new restaurant in our neighborhood. Our experience was a good surprise for us. We asked to adapt our pizza. Instead of using their white sauce, we had their four cheese pizza with tomato sauce. The pizza was really good. We all liked it.
The waiter was very helpful besides at some point we didn’t know who was our waiter anymore, since two of them came to ask the same question.
We were a bit surprised that they served bread to a table next to ours, but not for us. It’d make sense to do the same to everyone there.
Overall, it’s worth trying their pizza. We haven’t tried other dishes, but if they’re tasty like their pizza, it won’t be a surprise anymore.

Best resturaunt I have been to in toronto. The service was great, and they kept bringing food and drinks. All the food, every dish on the table had by all was superb. We had a large party so that is saying a lot. Ask them to take care of you and they will.

Unfortunately in a poor location, don’t let it deter you from trying it out! Great pizza, great value. On par with Libretto.

I live close to Sfizio and was waiting with anticipation for it to open. Have been there at least 5 times hoping that it will get better but it never does. Sorry!
The food, is just okay. Nothing great. It is bland, no spices or flavour. I ordered the lasagna last week and it tasted like just boiled noodles. In addition, instead of a nice fat square piece, it came to me as if it slipped off of the serving utensil onto my plate. Poor presentation!
The beer on tap has always been flat and the selection, again, it just okay.
I have ordered off of their lunch menu a few times and again, it is just okay. A bit expensive for what you get; semi flavourless food and small portions.
I do admit that the straight up basil and cheese pizza with tomato sauce is pretty decent. The crust is thin, a bit on the chewy side but not bad.
Near opening day, I ordered a cappuccino and was told that their milk delivery did not come in yet so the cappuccino wasn’t going to be as good as it should. Then why serve it to me? I had to throw it out it tasted that bad.
The washroom looks like your uncles basement from the 70s and is in dire need of a massive renovation. It smells musty and is creepy looking.
I do hope that Sfizio gets better. I want to like it as the servers are really nice but the food has got to get better if it is going to stay.

Great place for lunch. Not the cheapest but really good quality, nice wait staff, and good place to go to if you work in the area and want a sit down meal.

Went here last night. It definitely deserves a place as one of Toronto’s best Napoli style pizza joints. If you like Neapolitan pizza. Try these guys.

Since Sfizio is a new Italian restaurant that opened in my neighbourhood I was excited to try it out — I could use a good Italian eatery close to home! So one Sunday afternoon, I ventured into Sfizio Pizzeria & Wine Bar for a quick lunch. The owner cautioned that they weren’t officially opened yet, only accepting customers as part of a soft-​opening. Although a large part of their menu wasn’t offered (mainly alcohol and their Neapolitian style pizzas), the warm and welcoming owner was convincing enough for me to stay.
The food was mediocre at best. The pastas that we ordered (Spaghetti Bolognese and Alfredo Penne) were served rather cold, but I dismissed it as a soft-​opening kink. All their table breads and pizza doughs are made in-​house, and they have a Neapolitian style wood-​burning oven for their pizzas. Will definitely try that next time I stop by.
The Tiramisu was the by far the most memorable part of the meal. It’s light and creamy like a parfait, and not too coffee-​heavy, just the way I like it.
I think Sfizio has room for improvement, but if they work those kinks out, it seems like it could be a promising little Italian spot.
