The PIZZAPIZZA Journey

Founded in 2015, PIZZAPIZZA was born from a passion for authentic Italian pizza and a deep appreciation for Canadian culinary innovation. Our founder, Isabella Rossi, spent years studying pizza-making techniques in Naples before returning to Canada with a vision: to create a neo-trattoria that honored traditional methods while embracing contemporary Canadian design and local ingredients.

What began as a small pizzeria with a single wood-fired oven has evolved into a beloved destination that blends the warmth of Italian hospitality with the clean, minimalist aesthetic of Canadian design. Our commitment to quality has never wavered — we still use the same 72-hour fermented dough recipe that Isabella perfected in Italy, now enhanced with premium Canadian flour.

Our custom maple wood-fired oven, hand-built by Italian artisans and adapted for Canadian hardwoods, stands at the heart of our restaurant. It represents everything we believe in: honoring tradition while embracing innovation, and creating something uniquely our own.

Our Philosophy

At PIZZAPIZZA, we believe that exceptional food comes from exceptional ingredients and time-honored techniques. We import specific items directly from Italy — San Marzano tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and certain cheeses — while sourcing fresh produce and artisanal meats from local Canadian farmers and producers.

Our dining space reflects our culinary approach: a harmonious blend of rustic Italian warmth and clean Canadian minimalism. Marble countertops and brushed steel fixtures catch the glow of warm lighting, while handcrafted wooden tables and exposed brick create an atmosphere that's both sophisticated and inviting.

We're committed to sustainability in every aspect of our operation, from our relationships with local farmers to our eco-friendly packaging and waste reduction practices. Our goal is to create an unforgettable dining experience that honors the planet as much as it does our culinary traditions.
