Crafting authentic artisanal pizza with passion since 2009
PIZZAPIZZA was born from a simple yet profound vision: to bring the authentic flavors of Italian pizza craftsmanship to Canada, while adding our own distinctive minimalistic Canadian touch. What began as a small family operation in 2009 has grown into a beloved culinary destination, known for our unwavering commitment to quality and tradition.
Our founder, Isabella Romano, grew up in Naples, Italy, where she learned the art of pizza-making from her grandfather, a renowned pizzaiolo who passed down recipes that had been in their family for generations. After moving to Canada and noticing a gap in the market for truly authentic Neapolitan pizza with a contemporary twist, Isabella decided to bring her heritage and passion to the local food scene.
The name PIZZAPIZZA represents our dual heritage - a celebration of Italian culinary tradition combined with the straightforward, unpretentious approach that Canadians appreciate. We've created a space where the warmth of a traditional trattoria meets modern urban design, resulting in our signature neo-trattoria ambiance.
We honor traditional methods while embracing innovation, creating pizzas that are both classic and contemporary.
Our love for pizza-making shines through in every step of our process, from dough fermentation to final presentation.
We source only the finest ingredients, from imported Italian specialties to premium local Canadian produce.
We believe in creating meaningful connections through food, bringing people together in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
The heart and soul of PIZZAPIZZA is our passionate team of culinary experts and hospitality professionals.
Founder & Head Pizzaiola
Born and raised in Naples, Isabella brings authentic Italian pizza-making techniques passed down through generations. With over 20 years of experience, her passion for perfect dough is legendary.
Executive Chef
With formal training from Le Cordon Bleu and experience in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe, Sophie brings refined culinary techniques to our menu development and quality control.
Master Dough Maker
A third-generation baker from Puglia, Marco specializes in the science of slow fermentation. His expertly crafted dough is the foundation for our perfect crust - light, airy, and full of flavor.
Creative Director
With a background in design and culinary arts, Emily is responsible for PIZZAPIZZA's distinctive aesthetic - from our restaurant ambiance to our visual branding, creating the perfect blend of Italian tradition and Canadian minimalism.
Sourcing Director
An expert in sustainable food supply chains, Daniel ensures we source only the finest ingredients - from locally grown Canadian produce to specialty items imported directly from small-batch producers in Italy.
Our journey begins with our signature 72-hour dough fermentation process. This extended time allows the flavors to develop fully and creates the perfect texture - light and airy inside with a crisp exterior.
We meticulously prepare our fresh ingredients daily - from hand-crushed San Marzano tomatoes to house-made fior di latte mozzarella, ensuring optimal flavor and quality in every component.
Each pizza is hand-stretched by our skilled pizzaiolos, never rolled or pressed, preserving the delicate air bubbles in the dough that create our signature crust structure.
Our custom-built wood-fired oven reaches the perfect temperature of 485°C, allowing pizzas to cook in just 90 seconds. This intense heat creates the characteristic leopard-spotted char that defines authentic Neapolitan pizza.
Delicate ingredients like fresh basil, prosciutto, or truffle oil are added after baking to preserve their integrity. Each pizza is finished with precision and care before being served immediately to ensure the perfect dining experience.
Experience the perfect blend of Italian tradition and Canadian innovation in every bite.
