Slowhand Pizza

What is Slowhand Pizza? Tucked just behind the busy strip of King and Portland at 8 Waterloo Terrace, Slowhand Pizza brings Dan Ewing and Brett Feeley’s cult-favourite sourdough pan pies from Leslieville to downtown. Operating primarily as a sleek, dedicated takeout and delivery hub in a pedestrian laneway, this west-end outpost trades standard dining room seating for an efficient open counter geared toward fast pickups.

Slowhand Pizza Menu & What to Order The kitchen specializes in thick, naturally fermented rectangular sourdough pies with airy crumb structures and lacy, caramelized cheddar-and-brick frico crowns. The undisputed crowd-pleaser is the Peter Piper, loaded with cupping pepperoni, pickled jalapeños, whipped ricotta, and hot honey, closely followed by the white-sauced Fungus Amongus and the roasted-pineapple-forward Pineapple Express. Beef pepperoni and dairy-free swaps accommodate dietary needs, while house dips like creamy garlic round out the edges.

Know Before You Go This King West location does not have indoor seating or a patio, so plan to grab your box to go or picnic on the nearby benches at Waterworks and St. Andrew's Playground. Pre-ordering online directly through their site ensures a tight 15-to-20-minute turnaround during peak dinner rushes, with the shop operating Wednesday through Sunday from late morning to night.
