VENEZIA PIZZA

THAT ITALIAN PLACE
470 Chrysler drive, Unit 32 • (905) 451-5552
That Italian Place is best known for its authentic Neapolitan pizzas. Pizzas are flash fired in a wood oven and ready to be devoured in a matter of minutes. The quality ingredients and true Italian flavours have drawn a loyal following and even earned That Italian Place a coveted spot on The Food Network’s You Gotta Eat Here.

MACKAY PIZZA
930 North Park Dr •
40 Gillingham Dr • (905) 459-4131
This tried and true pizza joint probably serves up the biggest bang for your buck in the city at $15 for a large — and we mean large — or $1.75 for a seizable single slice. MacKay’s thin crust pies — though slightly greasy — have been a city favourite for decades and for good reason. Try one of their stuffed Jamaican patties with lettuce and mayo too, it’s a rite of passage for every Bramptonian.
GUSTO PIZZA
135 Main Street North • (905) 455-
Any regular at Gusto will tell you don’t go there for the service, you go there for the pizza, and thank god it’s good because they won’t be rolling out the red carpet for you. Gusto has plenty of fresh toppings to choose from including a few unique ones including sun-dried tomatoes. The pizza is good and the price is pretty reasonable too, you cam get a full party pizza for $13.99.
TONY & JIM’S
10 Flowertown Ave # 10a, 905) 452-8411
Tony and Jim have been serving up delicious zaaaas to the Flowertown community for as long as anyone can remember. Anyone living in the area swears by their pizza! Their pizza pies combine a thin crust with just the right amount of sauce and baked to perfection. You can expect that perfect curst with a nice crispy edge.
J. RED & CO
J. Red is the newest kid on the pizza block. They’re fast becoming a city favourite and for good reason! They’re serving up a selection of wood fired thin crust magic. If you’re looking to customize a pizza, J.Red may not be the place for you, but if you’re looking for a carefully crafted, absolutely delicious pizza, then this is the place. A crowd favourite is the Eh’Loha which combines shaved honey ham, smoked mozzarella, roasted pineapples and double smoked bacon. Is your mouth watering yet?
