Slowsouth Pizza

What is Slowsouth Pizza? Located at 1588 Dundas Street West along the strip bridging Little Portugal and Brockton Village, Slowsouth Pizza is an open-concept neighbourhood pizzeria founded by master pizzaiolo Giuseppe Bruzzese and Enrica Zamboni. The operation revolves around a 72-hour cold-fermented dough flash-baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, merging Southern Italian technique with classic slice-shop utility. Inside, sunny yellow accents and natural wood frame a casual room featuring open counter views of the oven, compact table seating, and a small summer sidewalk patio.

Slowsouth Pizza Menu & What to Order The kitchen turns out both 12-inch personal pies and 18-inch party-sized crusts alongside Pizza Sorriso, a hybrid folded pizza-panino. Kick things off with the golden Sicilian Arancini stuffed with ground beef, mozzarella, and green peas before ordering the Americana topped with cup-and-char pepperoni or the creamy Pistacchio & Mortadella pie. If you want spice, the Focu Meu panino loaded with Calabrian 'nduja and hot soppressata is essential, backed by gluten-free crust substitutions, vegan mozzarella options, and housemade tiramisu for dessert.

Know Before You Go Seating is strictly first-come, first-served with no reservations, making it a high-turnover spot where weekend dinner rushes bring a brisk line for both dining in and pickup. Slices and quick grab-and-go panini move fast, but ordering whole 18-inch pies can take 15 to 20 minutes during peak delivery hours. Take the 505 Dundas streetcar directly to Brock Avenue, or rely on paid street parking along Dundas Street West.
