Pizza Cantina

What is Pizza Cantina? Situated along Dundas Street West between High Park Avenue and Pacific Avenue, Pizza Cantina is an understated neighbourhood pizzeria bringing Roman-style stone-baked pies to The Junction. The operation revolves around a high-hydration dough that undergoes a 72-hour cold fermentation before hitting the blazing stone deck, producing an airy, crackly crumb with sturdy support. Inside, the cozy counter-service space offers a scattering of casual dine-in tables alongside a seasonal CaféTO street-side patio during the summer months.

Pizza Cantina Menu & What to Order The 12-inch personal pies deliver serious textural crunch, led by the crowd-favourite Cup & Crisp Pepperoni crowned with curling charred pepperoni rounds and vibrant tomato sauce. Heat seekers should jump on the Diavola Stinger, while the earthy Burrata, Truffle and Roasted Mushrooms pizza caters well to vegetarians looking for rich, creamy depth. Do not skip the scratch-made dipping sauces—specifically the pungent Creamy Garlic and spiked Hot Honey—and round out dinner with their fluffy, espresso-soaked housemade tiramisu.

Know Before You Go Table seating is strictly first-come, first-served with walk-in turnover moving quickly, though the majority of orders flow through fast takeout and delivery. Dundas West street parking is metered and spotty during peak weekend dinner rushes, but the 30 High Park and 40 Junction buses drop off steps from the front door. The kitchen is closed on Mondays and runs late until 11:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
