Ciao Roma Pizza

I frequent this authentic Italian pizza joint as often as I can. Great selection, fresh and every style of pizza is delicious. I’ll keep this review short and sweet.
Go in choose your pizza, tell them how big or small, get yourself a rice ball and orangina to wash it all down.
Hands down the best pizza joint in the GTA.
Thanks Ciao Roma!

We had takeout tonight from this cute little place. It was worth the drive to Woodbridge.
Ordered five different kinds, little pieces of each, which they cut again in half. Perfect. Will be having more for lunch tomorrow. I prefer less ingredients and less cheese because then have room to try different kinds. The Nutella was amazing! The zucchini one and the tomato/​bocconcini one were also delicious.
Will definitely return.

Great place, and I will be back. I like the idea of being able to select a number of different pizzas to try, and the paying by weight is a good idea for this reason. The pizza was excellent, especially the crust which shines. Staff were patient (explaining how everything works), fast and very friendly. The only reason I am not giving full marks is because, as mentioned in an earlier review, they are light on the meat in these pizzas, and they are a little pricey — for what is the equivalent of a large 12 inch you are paying over $ 25 — but every slice is different. Compared to Pizza Break ($ 9.99 large 12″ 3 topping) it’s steep, but you definitely taste the difference in the ingredients — especially the crust. Honestly it was refreshing to eat quality pizza for a change. Overall I would definitely recommend and will be back.

You got try this place. Great new twist of flavours. You buy by the weight so try the different varieties. Don’t be shy. Not for those on a diet.

It’s no wonder than John Catucci and his crew graced this Woodbridge pizza joint 2 years ago because, You (REALLY) Gotta Eat Here!
Ciao Roma has been on my GTA Bookmark list since writing my first ever Pizza Weekly Unilocal almost 4 years ago! Why haven’t I visited? The 905 is a big place you guys, cut a brother some slack, ok? That said, I was so happy that my busy travels brought me hungry and in need of a quick pizza fix to the plaza directly across the street this weekend.
Having never been here before, I let the girl behind the counter know as much and without skipping a beat she began to walk me through the process that makes them different. The pizza is made in giant uncut rectangular slabs in traditional Roman style — toppings and then cheese. The server will cut a line (with scissors) down the middle line of the slab and then ask you how big a slice you want. Once you’ve instructed how large a slice you’d like they weight it and finish cooking it off (not just warming it up) in the small over behind the counter.
As mentioned by others, the pizza is weighed and you are charged by weight. Done deal. Prices were fine as I paid only about $ 5.50 for a sizable slice. I went with the mushroom and smoked provolone pizza, and contrary to other reviews, I found the amount of toppings to be just fine — sometimes a little less is more. Easily the best part about this pizza is the crispy, thick crust, simply delicious!
Eatcrest Out

Food here is as everyone says, amazing.
Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had.
On top of that for my daughter’s birthday party we ordered a large delivery ordered which was delivered by the owner himself, still decked out in his chef whites. I offered him a hefty tip for coming on such short notice and with so much pizza, but he declined the big tip and said he was happy to help.
Great service, great food, we’ll be going here for years to come.

Amazing pizza. I like the concept of the pay by the pound. The crust us amazing it is heavenly. The only bad thing is when they run out of the pizza you want. So yeah it is 20 different kinds of pizza (or whatever the number) but they often do not have all 20 throughout selling the pizza during the day.

Went here with a friend after he saw it on «You gotta eat here» — Oh em gee delicious pizza! The simplicity of their toppings, their perfect crust, the perfect combinations of toppings, plus great friendly service; all in all a fab experience which makes me wish I lived closer! haha

I really like the concept of buying pizza by weight. With a selection of about a dozen different pizzas (pizzae?), it is a drag having to decide. Decide no more! Give me a segment of everything!
Let’s start with the crust, the proverbial «foundation» of a good grease wheel. This was one of the nicest crusts I have had, good chew throughout, but crispy as a cracker on the bottom.
I would have liked more toppings. Of the variety of pizza, there were very few with meat on top, maybe a quarter of them. When meat was part of the pizza, it was fairly sparse, like you would see under the counter of Pizza Pizza (not to compare). The toppings were all top notch, but a bit on the barren side.
The favourite for flavour was the mushroom pizza, with a variety of meaty, delicious mushrooms, it was the most enjoyable.
As John Catucci claims «You Gotta Eat Here», this is definitely worth a try. I would love to pay more per pound for more abundant toppings.

I used to like coming here but after several poor experiences, I’ve decided to never eat here again. The one good thing about this place is the crust on the pizza. Is it worth the high price? Probably not. And lately it seems they can’t warm up a slice without burning the hell out of the crust. Some of the other issues I’ve experienced with this place is:
1) extraordinarily long wait times where I would order a pizza for pick up but then I would have to wait a half hour past the time they told me to come in for pick up.
2) Over charged– This place does not like giving out receipts. They only take cash. Keep an eye on them when weighing the pizza. The girls at the counter weighed the same slice twice and there’s no real way to know if you’ve been over charged.
3) I wasn’t going to make a review about this place. Mainly because I don’t have time to do so. But after getting the same disgusting meat rice balls on 3 separate occasions when I specifically requested the «NO MEAT» rice balls on each of those occasions, I’ve decided that enough was enough. When I called the store they basically called me a liar and told me I could go back and exchange the rice balls. Umm. no thank you. I’m not going out of my way to return food that you messed up on. The only reason I stopped in the first place is to get something quick.
Pros:
crust (when they don’t burn the crap out of it)
Cons:
Customer Service
Toppings (bland and scarce)
Overcharge
Cash Only/​no receipt
Hours
Long wait times
No Sauce (If you like sauce on your pizza then this place isn’t for you since they don’t use sauce on their pizza)

They still cut the pizza with scissors and then you pay by weight just like in Rome
Just like at my house except I don’t have a scale
And the pizza is still the best in the area

For years I’ve been searching for a place like Ciao Roma! Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in Toronto and you get to have as many varieties as you want/​can stuff in your face. This isn’t your average round pizza — they are large rectangular pies that they slice and warm for you.
We originally ordered small (ish) slices of 4 different varieties, but they brought out a fresh pie while we were scarfing down Round One and HAD to get it (I forget what it was, but balsamic glaze was involved and it was amazing!). And why not?! Less than $ 20 with sodas and we left completely stuffed. I can’t make any particular recommendations because they were all amaze-​balls!
Cash only, so keep that in mind before you go! AND YOU MUST GO! Do it!

The pizza is delicious! If you just want to try a few different slices, they cut you whatever size you want with scissors and you pay by weight.

This pizza by weight is unreal! It truly mimics the authentic flavours I remember of Italy. Amazing crust, great flavour, fresh ingredients. Highly recommended!

My brother introduced to me to Ciao Roma Pizza and I stop by here whenever I am in the area.
Ciao Roma Pizza is delicious, crisp, and light! When you first walk in, you will see a display of different pizzas available and you request a slice any size you want it is is weighed. You can also order the pizzas as a whole.
Only 4 stars as I find this place quite pricey, $ 10 can get you the equivalent to a personal pizza.
They take cash only.

You want good pizza? You want authentic Italian pizza? You want fresh ingredients? You want good prices?
Eat at Ciao Roma Pizza. You’re welcome.

My boys love pizza; they would eat it every day if we would allow them. The other night, we stopped into Ciao Roma Pizza on the way home from Tai Kwon Do. Ciao Roma Pizza was recommended to us by the mother of one of my son’s classmates. Her daughter has dairy allergies and orders pizza without the cheese. The atmosphere is old school, traditional Italian. The pizza was delicious. I would probably rate this place 4 – 5 stars if Alex wouldn’t find a hair in his pizza :(

Strange yet great place. It is a tad small so there is not much room to sit and eat but the food itself is great. Lots of different types of pizza’s to choose from and the hilarious thing is that you pay based on the weight. They weigh all your items and charge you the price while it gets heated in the oven. You can order entire pizzas if you want but if you want to try a bunch of slices of different types of authentic style pizza, this is a great place to do that.

Been meaning to come for weeks. The pizza was beyond words. Had the Margharita and the Patata. The crust is perfection incarnate — not too thick or thin. The sauce is also perfect — just the right amount of tanginess and not salty. Just perfect.
Had a couple of arancini as well. I am in my happy place right now.

Wow! One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Amazing light crust and the mozzarella is amazing!
