Toronto

After New York City, it’s a tie between Toronto and São Paulo for where I’ve made the most pizza. Toronto is odd man out in that it’s not a historic pizza city. There are small Italian communities and a Little Italy, but in my experience, Torontonians don’t talk about old-school pizzerias like New Yorkers. The old places—Vesuvio, Via Mercanti, Danforth, Bitondo, and the like— were founded in the ’50s and ’60s. That makes them newcomers when seen through the lens of the American East Coast, São Paulo, or Buenos Aires.
