Il Paesano Pizzeria & Restaurant

Why am I giving this 1 star? If you're Italian, or know anything about Italian food, I dare you to try their "Bruschetta". It's not bruschetta. I ordered take out - opened everything up in my car to realize I had an item which was a baguette with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on it, cut into pieces. I was a bit disappointed they messed up my order - but no big deal, I go back in to tell them I ordered bruschetta but I was given this.and they said "that is the bruschetta". I was completely dumbfounded. I'm not at a loss of words too often, but. I didn't know if someone was playing a prank on me or if it's actually possible for a restaurant serving food for 50 years to get away with serving a cheese pizza on a baguette and calling it bruschetta on their menu? I am confused. Do Italian people order here? I can't be the only one to notice this, what's going on

Came late 30 mins before they were about to close and received amazing service and food. Amazing mom and pop shop.

We went on Sunday, Nov 19th, in the evening. There were tables available. Service was prompt. Restaurant is small but very quaint, I just wish the lighting wasn't so bright and that Christmas music wasn't playing. We ordered a 16" pizza with sausage, bacon, mushrooms, and olives. It was delicious! Had to have a takeout box. I will definitely return my next time I'm in the area. I didn't see the bill, so I can't comment on the price.

The place is small but cozy and has great pasta that you can tell was made fresh. I went there for my birthday with my family and I will go again!

Update Nov, 2023

Food and service is always top notch. My favorite Italian restaurant! Been coming here for years. Everyone in my family has their go-to favourites and we always leave with a smile! Thank you for a fantastic evening as always!

They make the best pizza for 30 years and amazing baked wings try them before you put any sauce on them they have great flavor

Ordered takeout for a party. Delivery was fast and pizza was still piping hot.

It was devoured quickly by our guests who proclaimed the pizza was the best they had in a while.

The Pizza itself was pretty good, however the caesar salad could have been better for the price
****** This was my first experience here and I try to support everyone equally *****"

Best pizza hands down in etobicoke ill recommended this to anyone there chicken parmesan is a must teyy

I ordered a piazza well done with pepperoni and onions. My online bill was supposed to be close to 25 dollars. When the pizza arrived it was only a cheese Pizza un just under 20 dollars which I thought was weird but paid it anyways. I wish I get to post a picture in this review. It looked absolutely terrible and you would not want to eat it. When I called they said they were very nice and only offered a discount on my next pizza. I don’t know what happened but I will never order online with them. I have ordered at store and it was always good. I’m quite disappointed

An Etobicoke staple serving up consistent, delicious, home style pizza. Can’t go wrong. The veal sandwich is also a real banger.

AMAZING!

Great old school style pizza!

Love the thin crust, tomato sauce and quality ingredients.

Unique taste, reminiscent of New York style pizza with some of the ingredients below the cheese.

Between Il Paesano pizza and Revolver Pizza Co. These are the top 2 pizzas in Etobicoke IMO!

Fantastic pizza, the best in Etobicoke. I have had pizza from here for over 20 years, never had any issues, Pizza and Garlic Beard with cheese are always perfect. Tip for ordering pizza, get it with double cheese and you will not be disappointed.

Doe was not fully cooked, sauce wasnt present and had absolutely no taste topping were also not fully cooked. All in all it did the job but will not order again sorry.

Oven was out of order but they took my order anyway and resulting pizza texture and quality was disappointing. They didn't send plates nor napkins despite the large quantities.

Rubbber
Re heated
No flavour
No sauce

Zero care, obviously not the owners running this place they don’t care anymore,
