Beast Pizza

You know when you’re walking up a random street and can’t believe your friends there’s a restaurant down there and even more so that there’s good food? This is exactly what beast is all about. Hands down this must be one of the best pizza places in Toronto and I’m not even exaggerating. We had mushroom and pistachio — melts in your mouth where it should and stays crispy and fresh. Can’t wait to go back! We also shared bone marrow which was also just fantastic!

I had been to the previous incarnation of Beast with my friend, and we needed to check out the new Beast, Beast Pizza. Love the new setup and decor, clean, bright, busy as one would expect on a late Saturday afternoon, but we still had a spot at the bar. Stools were comfortable, hooks for your jacket/bag/purse, plugs to charge your phone under the bar. Staff were nice and friendly. I've got to say, they didn't disappoint with the food, which is no surprise because the Beast restaurant was top shelf. My dark and stormy was made with Goslings (the way it's intended), delicious. We ordered the mushroom pizza and the pepperoni (12"), my friend ordered the kimchi olives. The pizza was perfect, thin crust, toppings were just right, crust was just the right amount, couldn't have asked for better. One thing that caught my friend and I by surprise, there was no tip option on the debit terminal when we paid. We thought it was odd, we're always big on tipping, and so we asked the owner who was there about it. He explained to us how they are a "fair wage employer" so all of their staff make the same wage, from the dish washers, to the cooks, and the servers/bartenders, and guaranteed hours, all at a really great rate that surprised us. Well that was the first time either of us had encountered that and we thought it was amazing and hope that more employers take this route. Five stars (+1 bonus for the fair wage). Will recommend, will return. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Amazing experience at beast pizza … where to begin, the food was amazing, so amazing that I forgot to take photos of most of it. The pasta, beet appetizer, and mushroom pizza were awesome a the chef came and chatted with us before and helped us make our decisions. Staff were so friendly, if felt like we were old friends .. loved the ambiance as well, the restaurant was recently renovated but it had an old vibe. One of my favourite things was the gum ball machine where you pay 15 dollars and get some random drink/shot or possibly pitcher of beer… super great experience and can’t wait to go back! Also the surprise at the end where you don’t tip because the restaurant pays all their employees a living wage which was really refreshing to see and makes you aware of how much they take care of their staff!

Our neighbourhood just upped it's pizza game when I didn't think our local pizza joints could get any better. Beast Pizza has probably the best pizza dough I've ever had chewy and full of tangy flavour. We stuck with the straight up basic pepperoni pizza and I have no perfect words to describe how good it was. My only thing is I wish they had a few more basic toppings.

Good pizza and menu in general. My pizza came within 15 minutes but my wife's took 1 hour... Other pizzas for other tables were coming out... They told us the had to remake it, but it was already 45 minutes after I already finished mine.. it still took another 20 mins for her pizza... Anyways it has good menu but I'll think twice before going back.
