Otherside Pizza

Located in Toronto’s charming Beaches area, Otherside Pizza has quickly established itself as a local favorite. Customers rave about the cozy atmosphere, with its rustic decor and cozy seating — perfect for a casual meal or a takeout option. The highlight here is undoubtedly the pizza, with the “King Roni” and “The Beach” receiving particular praise for their generous toppings and harmonious flavor combinations. Reviewers like Georgia and Peter Kapshuk emphasize the quality of ingredients, especially the fresh basil that elevates the classic pepperoni. The pizzas are lauded for their size; as Ben Bain notes, one large pie can easily feed a group, leaving leftovers for later enjoyment. The crust strikes a pleasing balance, being both thin and crisp — a testament to their cooking method. Aside from mouthwatering pizzas, the garlic fingers and OS salad also receive accolades, served with a choice of delightful dips to enhance the dining experience. The speed of service is commendable, despite the busy vibe, with the team showcasing professionalism and dedication. Overall, whether you're dining in or getting a pie to-go, Otherside Pizza promises a delightful culinary experience that stays true to the love of quality pizza.

We came here for a small company group lunch and the pizza we got was delicious! The restaurant itself is small but cozy. They have a few tables with two being at the windows. They also have two TVs: one above the dining area and one above the cashier counter that is usually playing a Jays, Leafs or Raptors game. There is an antique lamp above the shelf where they keep ready-made pizza slices. We ordered a whole large Pepperoni pizza and it was absolutely divine. It came hot and fresh out of the oven so the cheese just melted in the mouth. The nice touch they put on the pizza was fresh basil leaves, which gave it a sweet fragrance and taste. The homemade creamy garlic dips it came with was just the cherry on top. They paired perfectly with the piping hot and spicy pepperoni. You can also tell the staff are very hardworking. This is a great place to get a slice of delicious pizza made from quality ingredients. They are very busy though so try to order ahead of time!

This is a wonderful pizza shop along Queen Street just east of Woodbine that serves delicious pizza with a variety of premium toppings including vegetarian options with catchy names. I have had various slices here on a multitude of occasions and they have always been outstanding - in fact some of the best tasting pizza I’ve had in Toronto. The slices are generous in portion size and there are a variety of condiments free of charge one can add to their slices. The owner/server is courteous and professional. There is plenty of seating available inside the pizza parlour if you want to dine in. All in.all this is a great addition to the Beaches area of Toronto.

Got delivery on 2 pizzas and a salad. And mustn’t forget the basil dip. The pizzas I heard were on the floppy side but it was quite the opposite. They were perfectly crisp and the pizza was excellent. Whoever topped the pepperoni did a marvellous job and some spots had a nice stack of pepperoni - not stingy at all! Prices are on point and the pizzas are huge. Really enjoyed them and will certainly have again.

The pies are huge. We got one 18” and two single slices to feed 4 adults and actually had a couple of slices left over. The King Roni should definitely appeal to pepperoni pizza lovers, with lots of crispy, tasty slices covering the pizza, but personally I thought it was The Beach that stood out. It’s their take on the Hawaiian, but the combination of flavours - the sweet pineapple and red onion, the salty Spam and bacon, the heat of the peppers, and the cilantro - was delicious. Overall, a nicely done thin crust, and a good sauce to topping ratio. I’m not a dipping fan normally, but the Basil Garlic dip is a must try addition

Best pizza in the city - never disappoints! Generous with toppings and fresh ingredients, the flavours are amazing! We have tried almost every pizza and it’s hard to choose a favourite. The garlic basil dipping sauce is delicious too. There’s a warm and cozy atmosphere at this local, family run place. Here are photos of king roni, the beach, and the burrata.

Can't believe it took me so long to discover Otherside! Hands down, this pizza place is a hidden gem in our neighborhood. The quality and taste of their pizza are on par with the best in NYC — I'm genuinely impressed. The crust is perfectly crispy on the outside and light and chewy on the inside while the sauce is tangy and delicious. We ordered 'The Kevin', a straight up chesse pie, definitely a top 3 in Toronto. While I'm not one for too many toppings, I took a leap and also ordered 'The Nora'. Wow, this is a fusion masterpiece, marriage of a classic cheese pie with bold Korean flavours featuring bulgogi... sheer genius! I will be a regular at Otherside. Thank you Dave for setting up shop in the east end!

A pizza! Really happy to have Otherside pizza join the neighbourhood! Tried the King Roni and loved it! The pizza had a generous portion of pepperoni and the herbs sprinkled on top were a great addition. Crust was light and airy with a slightly chewy interior with crispy exterior. Would suggest planning ahead and ordering early. It was about an hour from when we ordered to when it was ready. Will absolutely be back to try the other options.

We found this hidden gem in the beaches and we were instantly impressed with the service, quality of products used, and how great the staff was with kids. After dining in and tasting various items on the menu we were sold on choosing Otherside Pizza as the caterers for our daughters birthday party. Dave was really great to work with and was very accommodating. All the pies were made fresh to order and on time. We love supporting local businesses and we’re so happy we chose them to be apart of our daughters big day. All the guests were happy and complimented the pizzas - even days after. Thank you, thank you. If you’re ever in the beaches stop by for a slice or a pie, don’t forget to get the basil garlic dipping sauce.
