I've contemplated long(over years) and hard before putting this review and backed up by facts and not bias. I had Badialis a while back and the taste still had imprinted in my brain, particularly the crust. Recently I went to NY which is supposed to have one of the world's best pizzas and went to most popular/iconic and recommended pizza joints there(John's, Scarrs, Lucali etc) but still felt none of them were as good as Badiali's. Then I thought perhaps experience in my head about Badilalis is foggy and perhaps it's not as good as I remember it to be. So recently again I visited and this time ordered a whole pie. And to my surprise it was even better than I had remembered and definitely better than any of those famous pizza joints in NY. And so far the best pizza I have had. The perfect balance of toppings and the crispy yet chewy crust which almost feels slightly fried because of the brush of olive oil as a final touch makes it a perfect pizza and better than any other. It can get very busy, and can have huge lineups so brace for it or just order online a full pizza(at least a day ahead). Online ordering was user friendly, you can set exact time, and to my surprise they prepare the pizza exactly when you placed the pick up for accurate to the dot. I placed order for pickup at 7.15pm and went at 7.13 hoping it would be ready sitting in a box, but it wasn't. Exactly at 7.15pm I was handed over a box with pizza with cheese still bubbling. So just go for online order. I truly hope they can maintain the quality and the perfect system. A little welcome nod or smile would be nice from the staff, but who knows they just might be too busy creating their perfect pizza, so won't complain.

With every bite, you get a burst of flavour—with a saucy (cheesy) top layer, and a crispy, toasted bottom layer. As a picky pizza eating person, this is genuinely some of the absolute best pizza i’ve ever had. If you must order one thing, let it be the Vodka slice, with a unique rose sauce that you won’t find elsewhere. Highly recommend!

I was not be able to buy the whole pie. Reason- ‘we are booked out of the pies’ However, I was able to buy all slices of a pie cut right in front of me.
Irrational, hilarious..legal? BADiali.

My only must stop anytime I'm in Toronto. I would like them to cater my funeral some day. Best pizza in Toronto hands down. Try one of everything you can't go wrong.

The pizza was delicious, they had a solid variation, the size was very good and everyone was super friendly! Be aware of there not being seats though.

Best pizza in Toronto! The dough is super nice, has a bit of sourness to it.
Great food just not a place where you can hit the curb, park and go.
