Afro's Pizza

What is Afro's Pizza? Perched within the vibrant shipping-container complex at Stackt Market (28 Bathurst St.), Afro's Pizza brings deep-dish square pies with serious pedigree to the western edge of downtown Toronto. Founded by seasoned chefs Rodney Best and Nathan Wang—who bring over 15 years of classical training to the dough—the operation bakes every pie in authentic steel LloydPans to achieve an airy interior and a lacquered, caramelized cheese frico edge. Seating is casual and open-air, letting diners grab their hot pans from the walk-up stall and settle at communal patio benches and pavilion picnic tables around the market grounds.

Afro's Pizza Menu & What to Order Expect unapologetic, globally influenced flavour mashups anchored by crisp Detroit-style focaccia-like crusts. Order The Hendrix Experience, a viral head-turner layering fried chicken, toasted pecans, tequila-compressed watermelon, and maple habanero over melted cheese, or go classic with The Davis Jr., packed with cupping pepperoni, house-cured sausage, pickled jalapeños, and hot honey. Halal options are readily accommodated with dry-cured beef pepperoni builds, while plant-forward diners can dig into The Whispers, topped with wild mushrooms and truffle aioli. Wash it down with chilled house drinks or grab an icy Arizona iced tea.

Know Before You Go This is a walk-up and digital counter order operation with no reservations, so prepare for short waits during sunny weekend rushes and prime dinner hours. Take the 511 Bathurst streetcar right to Bathurst and Front for easy transit access, as street parking around the railway corridor is scarce. The outpost operates Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., remaining closed on Mondays.
