While the pizza is made in-house, the gelato is sourced from Gelato Simply Italianwhich Giuseppe says he

settled on after tasting about a dozen different Toronto options. There are currently about 16 flavours available

at Gelato Pizza the more traditional options including hazelnut chocolate, blood orange, pistachio, and

lemon and room for another 16 more when the mercury rises during the summer.

Pizza production (and consumption) is already in full swing here, with 22 specialty pies on the menu (all priced

the same $12.95/$15.95/$18.95 or $4.40 per slice) and the option to create your own. They range from the

basic "Ma" pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella ("Just like my ma' made it when I was a kid," Giuseppe

says) to the "A-Maize-Ing" pie with extra virgin ol ive oil, mozzarella, garlic, tomatoes , corn, parmesan, basi l, and

eggplant.

Each pie name comes with a thorough back story (just ask Giuseppe), and is made with fresh ingredients that

are all prepared onsite. Available slices include three vegan options, and Gelato Pizza is working on

developing its own gluten-free crust.

The Brad Pitt slice immediately catches my eye, and comes brimming with veal meatballs, dry-cured

pepperoni, homemade sausage, and chunks of ham and bacon on top of mozzarella and tomato sauce. The

crust is a modest thickness more chewy than crispy serving as foundation for the meat-heavy pie. In

case it wasn't clear, this pie comes with a "carne" heading. This is n't one of those s lices that's dripping with

cheese (yeah, I'm looking at you, King Slice) or smothered only with pepperoni, but rather, comes with an

equal presence of all of its protein-rich toppings in tow.

While the pizza itself does win my affection, it's the homemade dipping sauce that has me swooning. Made

with fresh sour cream, yogurt, garlic, and spices, this s auce is s lightly less viscous than some of the othergarlic dipping sauces around, giving it a more tempered taste rather than an overwhelming garlic "punch."

Gelato Pizza plans to roll out del ivery in the coming weeks (delivery of pizza andgelato) and is planning on

opening its second location (yes, already!) sometime in the new year. And it's good news for you east-enders;

keep an eye on the old Ethelcorner lot.

DISCUSSION

I will have to check this place out. My How Parkdale is changing. The name of

this place is confusing but appealing at the same time. i would stop in just to

see what it is.

I don't like the name personally but I will give the place a try.

Boreal Gelato a few doors down is also very good for gelato (they make it on site

too from fresh ingredients).

Apparently this is a chain that opens up next door to just-establ ishi ng gelato

places to compete, offering a cheaper product at a lesser price in the hopes that

the patrons in the area will prefer cheap to good. And really, who would eat either

Pizza or Gelato from a pl ace jus t called "Gelato Pizza"???

Any mention of the Leslieville Gelato Pizza opening?

The "Coming Soon" sign has been up on a vacant store front since the summ er.

If they are a "real" Italian gelato place why don't they have a lid on all thei r tubs of

gelato?

Leslievillian / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 12:46 PM

I don't see what's so confusing about it - when I go to Laser Hair Removal

Burgers, I know that I can get my bikini line done and enjoy one of the best

burgers in the city all in one stop.

I only get pizza from Albany Pizza on Lands downe, but this looks very interesting .

Will have to try!

jameson / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 12:48 PM

Pizza is good! Gelato I will continue getting from Boreal next door, who makes it

from scratch in house.

Lola / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 12:56 PM

Pizza is great, but I'm gonna keep going to Boreal right next door for my gelato fix.

Scott / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 02:02 PM

the pizza does look good though old man pizza at queen/jameson is awesome

and cheap. I wil l definitely continue to support Boreal next door, they make their

gelato in-house and it is delicious!!

sage / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 02:12 PM

i'm looking for something made in-house.

Support Boreal Gelato. Their employees are smokin hot.

TheDuder / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 07:19 PM

So glad Gord Perks put through the moratorium on Parkdale! I mean, Gelato

Pizza and other independent business' are so dangerous and corrupt for this

neighborhood, right?

ChefAldea / NOVEMBER 19, 2012 AT 08:12 PM

PHONE #?
