Queen Margherita Pizza

What is Queen Margherita Pizza? Occupying a stately former bank building at 785 Annette Street in Baby Point, Queen Margherita Pizza stands as the brand's sole surviving Toronto dining room. Founded by John Chetti and Rocco Mazzaferro, the space centers on a 900-degree wood-fired oven imported from Naples, set against dark wood banquettes, exposed brick accents, and warm pendant lighting. Seating spans deep dining room tables, bar seating, and a sidewalk patio setup during warmer months.

Queen Margherita Pizza Menu & What to Order Pies here rely on Caputo Tipo 00 flour and crushed San Marzano D.O.P. tomatoes, emerging from the wood fire blistered and chewy. The classic Margherita DOP showcases exclusive Ontario-crafted fior di latte, while the Pepperoni & Hot Honey offers an addictive kick of sweet heat. Round out dinner with crisp arancini or a crispy shallot Caesar, washed down with a cold Peroni or local Ontario wine on tap. Vegetarians have plenty of traction with pies like the mushroom-and-chèvre Alla Campagnolo.

Know Before You Go Table reservations are available via the Baby Point page on their website, though weekday walk-ins can usually grab a table without friction. Weekend dinner rush picks up heavily between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. with neighbourhood families, so book ahead for prime slots. Street parking lines Annette Street, while the 26 Dupont and 79 Scarlett TTC buses connect swiftly from Jane and Runnymede stations; note that the dining room is closed Mondays.
