Step 1: Choose Your Foundation

Classic Hand-Tossed Crust

Our signature crust is made fresh daily using a time-honored recipe that's been perfected over decades. We use premium Canadian wheat flour, extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of honey for that perfect golden-brown finish. The dough is hand-tossed by our skilled pizza artisans, creating a medium-thick crust with a crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior. This versatile option works beautifully with any topping combination and is our most popular choice among customers.

Thin & Crispy Crust

For those who prefer a lighter, crunchier base, our thin and crispy crust delivers maximum crispiness without sacrificing flavor. Rolled out to perfection and pre-baked to achieve that satisfying crunch, this crust allows the toppings to truly shine. It's an excellent choice for gourmet combinations and those watching their carb intake. The thin crust bakes quickly at high temperatures, creating a delightfully crispy texture that holds up well even with generous toppings.

Thick Pan Crust

Indulge in our hearty thick pan crust, baked in a deep dish pan with a generous coating of butter for an irresistibly rich flavor. This substantial crust features a golden, slightly crispy bottom and fluffy, bread-like interior that's perfect for supporting heavy topping loads. The edges rise high and develop a beautiful golden-brown color, creating a satisfying bite every time. This is the ultimate comfort food option for those who love a filling, substantial pizza experience.

Whole Wheat Crust

Our health-conscious option doesn't compromise on taste!

It's hand-tossed just like our classic crust but provides additional nutritional benefits including more vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. Perfect for those seeking a more wholesome pizza experience without sacrificing the authentic pizzapizza taste.

Gluten-Free Crust

We believe everyone should enjoy great pizza! Our gluten-free crust is carefully crafted using a blend of rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch to create a texture remarkably similar to traditional pizza crust. Prepared in a dedicated gluten-free area to prevent cross-contamination, this option is certified gluten-free and safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Despite being gluten-free, it maintains excellent structural integrity and delicious flavor.

Step 2: Select Your Sauce

The sauce is the soul of your pizza, providing the flavor foundation that ties all your toppings together. At Pizzapizza, we prepare all our sauces in-house using authentic recipes and the finest ingredients. Each sauce is carefully crafted to complement different topping combinations, and you can even request light, regular, or extra sauce to suit your preferences.

Classic Tomato Sauce

Our signature tomato sauce is made from vine-ripened Italian San Marzano tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, garlic, and a secret blend of herbs. Slow-simmered for hours to develop deep, rich flavors, this sauce has been a customer favorite since 1967. It's perfectly balanced with just the right amount of acidity and sweetness.

Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Rich and indulgent, our Alfredo sauce is made with real butter, heavy cream, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and a hint of garlic.

Spicy BBQ Sauce

Our house-made BBQ sauce combines smoky, sweet, and spicy flavors in perfect harmony. Made with tomato paste, molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and a blend of spices including chipotle peppers, this sauce adds bold flavor to any pizza. It's particularly popular with meat toppings and creates an irresistible caramelized finish when baked.

Best for: Chicken, pulled pork, bacon | Price: +$1.50

Pesto Sauce

Fresh and aromatic, our pesto is made from hand-picked basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and premium olive oil. This vibrant green sauce brings a burst of fresh, herbaceous flavor to your pizza.

Step 3: Choose Your Cheese Blend

Cheese is arguably the most important component of any great pizza. At Pizzapizza, we use only premium, high-quality cheeses that melt beautifully and deliver exceptional flavor. You can choose a single cheese or create your own custom blend. We also offer light, regular, or extra cheese options to suit your preferences. All our cheeses are sourced from reputable Canadian dairy farms committed to quality and sustainability.

100% Mozzarella

Our signature cheese is 100% real mozzarella, never imitation or processed cheese product. We use a blend of low-moisture and fresh mozzarella to achieve the perfect balance of meltability and flavor. The low-moisture mozzarella provides excellent browning and that classic pizza cheese stretch, while fresh mozzarella adds creamy richness and authentic Italian flavor. This is our most popular cheese choice and comes standard on all pizzas.

Three-Cheese Blend

Our gourmet three-cheese blend combines mozzarella, provolone, and aged cheddar for a more complex flavor profile. The provolone adds a slightly smoky, tangy note, while the aged cheddar contributes sharp, bold flavor and beautiful golden color when baked. This blend creates a richer, more sophisticated taste that elevates any pizza to restaurant-quality status. It's particularly popular with meat lovers and those who appreciate more robust cheese flavors.

Feta Cheese

Authentic Greek feta cheese adds a tangy, salty dimension to your pizza. Made from sheep's milk, our feta is creamy yet crumbly with a distinctive sharp flavor that pairs beautifully with Mediterranean toppings like olives, tomatoes, and spinach. While feta doesn't melt like mozzarella, it softens beautifully in the oven and adds pockets of intense flavor throughout your pizza. This is an excellent choice for Greek-style or vegetarian pizzas.

We're proud to offer a delicious vegan cheese option made from cashews and coconut oil.

Perfect for vegans, those with dairy allergies, or anyone looking to reduce their dairy consumption.

Nutritional Information

At Pizzapizza, we believe in complete transparency about what goes into your food. We understand that many of our customers have specific dietary needs, health goals, or simply want to make informed choices about their meals. That's why we provide detailed nutritional information for all our pizzas and ingredients.

Understanding Pizza Nutrition

The nutritional content of your custom pizza will vary based on your choices of crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings. A basic cheese pizza on our classic hand-tossed crust with tomato sauce and mozzarella contains approximately 250-280 calories per slice (based on a large pizza). Each additional topping adds between 20-60 calories per slice depending on the ingredient.

For those watching their calorie intake, we recommend choosing our thin and crispy crust, which reduces calories by about 40 per slice compared to our classic crust. Loading up on vegetable toppings instead of meats can also significantly reduce the calorie and fat content while increasing fiber and nutrients. Our whole wheat crust option provides additional fiber and nutrients while maintaining great taste.

We also offer detailed allergen information for all our ingredients. Common allergens in our pizzas include wheat (gluten), dairy, and depending on toppings, shellfish, fish, soy, and tree nuts. Our gluten-free crust is prepared in a dedicated area to minimize cross-contamination, though we cannot guarantee a 100% gluten-free environment due to shared kitchen space.

Healthier Pizza Options

Pizza can absolutely be part of a balanced, healthy diet! Here are some tips for creating a more nutritious custom pizza:

  • Choose thin crust or whole wheat crust to reduce calories and increase fiber content
  • Load up on vegetables - they add nutrients, fiber, and volume without many calories
  • Request light cheese to reduce saturated fat and calories while still enjoying that cheesy goodness
  • Select lean proteins like grilled chicken instead of processed meats
  • Try our tomato sauce which is lower in calories than cream-based sauces
  • Practice portion control - pair a couple slices with a side salad for a balanced meal
  • Consider our vegan cheese option if you're looking to reduce dairy intake

Expert Pizza Building Tips

With over 30 toppings to choose from, the possibilities are virtually endless! However, not all topping combinations are created equal. Our pizza chefs have spent years perfecting the art of flavor pairing, and we're excited to share some of their expert tips to help you create the ultimate custom pizza.

The Rule of Balance

The key to a great custom pizza is balance. Try to include a mix of flavors and textures: something salty (like olives or bacon), something sweet (like caramelized onions or pineapple), something with umami depth (like mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes), and something fresh (like basil or tomatoes). This creates a more complex, satisfying eating experience.

Also consider texture: combine soft ingredients (like cheese and sauce) with crispy elements (like bacon or thin-sliced vegetables) and chewy components (like sausage or mushrooms). This textural variety makes each bite more interesting and enjoyable.

Don't Overload Your Pizza

While it's tempting to add every topping that sounds good, restraint is important. Too many toppings can make your pizza soggy, prevent proper cooking, and muddle the flavors. We recommend choosing 3-5 toppings for optimal results. This allows each ingredient to shine while still creating interesting flavor combinations. If you want more variety, consider ordering multiple pizzas with different topping combinations!

Classic Combinations That Always Work

Some topping combinations have stood the test of time for good reason. Here are some tried-and-true pairings:

  • Pepperoni + Mushrooms + Green Peppers - The classic supreme combination
  • Italian Sausage + Roasted Red Peppers + Caramelized Onions - Sweet and savory perfection
  • Grilled Chicken + Spinach + Sun-Dried Tomatoes + Feta - Mediterranean delight
  • Canadian Bacon + Pineapple - The controversial but beloved Hawaiian
  • Mushrooms + Spinach + Artichoke Hearts + Fresh Garlic - Vegetarian gourmet
