Some of the best pizza in Toronto. Great price, very friendly staff and a great selection of pop to try. I recommend the Spitfire Ginger Ale.
Highly recommend this place for great pizza and drinks!

Met up with a friend here for after work dinner.
This spot is pretty spacious and nice inside.
You order at the counter and pay and then they bring your food to your table. It’s pretty much a self serve kinda spot. There’s water, chilli peppers and other stuff at the side.
The pizzas are pretty thin and one is good amount for one person.
We got the LAMBORGHINI PIZZA and the KING SHROOM PIZZA (with hot honey drizzled on top).
The Lamborghini pizza was more like a middle eastern type of pizza. I’ve never had lamb on pizza before and this one was not bad.
I actually prefer the king shroom pizza even though there was no meat. It was light and the lemon wedge added a little kick to the pizza. The hot honey was also a really nice addition.
Overall it’s a decent place for pizza. I’ll come here if I’m in the area and can’t decide where to go.

We came after the Toronto marathon to get some hot beverages. Staff is super nice and welcoming. Great hot chocolate and chai tea. I recommend :)
The frozen pizza experience - what happened??? It was TERRIBLE!! They added packaging so you can’t see the pizza in the box - why?! This is 2024 - we don’t “add” wasteful packaging!! The pizza was a disaster - big chewy mushrooms , sawdust Parmesan in the centre - it was just simply a mess. We had another I forgot to photograph - margherita - same thing carelessly made and not what they were selling even 3 months ago. We picked at the centres and tossed the rest - for $12 frozen pizza - Extremely Disappointed.
Visit recommended!
Fun fact!
Due to the pandemic, they now have frozen pizza options in select stores (Loblaws, Metro and Sobeyes)
Tip: ordering a combo of pizza + beer or wine is cheaper. 👍
Owner, Ali was inspired by his visit to Naples in Italy and fascinated by the offerings of authentic Napolitano pizzas with only two options on the menu, margarita and marinara.
He decided to create a similar experience in downtown Toronto in 2017. This beautiful a
Idea churns out Italian style pizzas with a home made special sour dough starter that provides the perfect texture for their pizzas.

Good pizza spot. I really like how light and thin the dough is, makes it not feel as heavy. I’ve definitely had better pizza in Toronto, but this place is pretty good and you get your pizza quickly.
I recently visited XO Gelato and was thoroughly impressed by the delicious offerings and warm ambiance. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sight of an array of tantalizing ice cream flavors.
The ice cream at this cafe surpassed my expectations in both taste and texture. Each scoop was bursting with flavor, and the creamy consistency was simply divine. With a variety of classic and unique flavors to choose from, there's something to satisfy every craving.
In addition to the exceptional ice cream, I also had the pleasure of trying their coffee, and I must say, it was outstanding. The rich, robust flavor and smooth finish made it the perfect accompaniment to my sweet treat.

Really cute place with ample seating and a lot of flavors to choose from! Went here after lunch and it was not too busy. There were so many options to choose from. The gelato was very tasty, I got the mint chocolate small size. The place was kept clean and the cashier was friendly.
It's my to go Gelato location nearby downtown area, I would say it's paradise of Gelato!!
They have many flavours of Gelato and i will recommend to choose two flavours as many of them are so good!
Lining up is a must but the staffs acts so fast and very friendly, they will recommend you the signature.
There is some outdoors seats for the customers and there is little car parking as well. The ambiance is chill and it is very suitable for summer time~

My sister-in-law works there!! Great restaurant. Definitely go eat here!! You won’t regret it.
The pink drink is good!! All of the pizza options sounded amazing. I forget what I ordered but it was so good (look at the picture). And they have gelato options for dessert.

Pleasant staff and great waterfront view. Perfect place for summer but also cozy and not so busy winter Saturdays. Their cornbread is good.
The pizza is good! There’s no table service there. Me and my friends shared 4 pizzas because we wanted to try different flavours. I liked them all! I would love a pizza with chicken on it.
Came by for a treat after dinner and was not disappointed! They have a ton of flavours and options for those with dietary restrictions. I ended up ordering an affogato with Crème Caramel gelato and it was delicious. The espresso balanced the gelato well and made it an overall not too sweet dessert.
Regular average pizza, nothing special in it. Great for a casual night when you don’t want to spend a lot.
Pizza sizes are small, without option of ordering larger pizzas. There is no table service, you need to order it in the counter and they will get the food to your table.

Love this local gelato place!
I go all the way to get my favorite flavors: chocolate and pistachios
Highly recommend

I had lotus biscoff cookies gelato but it was difficult to choose from so many good flavours i had even tried few flavours such as hazelnut, cookies & cream, caramel i love all these flavours and will definitely go their again to try and get more ice creams
We went for brunch and drinks this morning and it did not disappoint!!! Our server was super friendly and had a great vibe. We ordered waffles but received pancakes (we were not mad about it at all) but she comped one of our drinks which wasn’t necessary but a very nice gesture. The atmosphere in here is AWESOME. I will definitely be coming back to try their lunch/dinner menu. Also very reasonably priced for a restaurant on the water!
Always wanted to try this place since I have heard a lot about it, and the hype is all true. Their gelatos are amazing, my personal favourite is the hazelnut one. It’s always busy during the summer, also they close up late which is an added advantage as you can grab one during your night stroll.
This place RULES! I’ve been here twice with separate groups of people. I loved the drinks and the food was sooo good. I usually like burrito bowls and this one did not disappoint and the cornbread was top tier with the butter. Came here twice before two of the best concerts of my life so this place is now a pre-concert ritual.
First of all the hostess was a wonderful lady that genuinely liked her job. Our waitress was nice and friendly.
I ordered a chicken sandwich, it was delicious and my sweet potato fries were very tasty.
We sat outside in the patio with a beautiful view.

This is amazing!! Everyone needs to go here and experience this heavenly combo of gelatine and wine (who would have thought?). The owners and staff are amazing and friendly. They have plenty of flavours to choose from and also seasons flavours. They always suggest the best wine to pair with. My go to on the menu is the tasting flight. It’s a cute little shop that you’ll visit again and again!!
This tiny hidden gem was an amazing accidental discovery by me and a friend. we wanted a gelato after our brunch and this was right across the street from the kettle! N it's absolutely amazing..it's gelato an wine pairing called a "flight" for $26 was just a dream dessert. They pair any flavor of gelato you choose with a wine...we had the lemon with Prosecco, raspberry with a rose and I DIED after having their chocolate with the roberso. Would totally recommend for a girls hang! The place has patio seating as well the inside is a little small...but was perfect for us.
Best ice cream in Toronto. I went this place two times and I had an extremely happy experience. I wish I could have found this place before. Note that they only take cash or debit. Thank you
The softer vanilla ice cream covered with 70% chocolate is just amazing!
Stepping into Your Gelato is like taking a flavor-filled voyage to Italy without ever leaving Toronto! Each scoop sings a serenade of creamy delight, and oh, the Bacio, Siciliano and Pistachio ! They're not just flavors, they're memories in the making. This is not just an ice cream shop; it's a dream churned to perfection. All dessert connoisseurs, here's your next favorite destination!
We were served by Mike, he was incredible! All his recommendations were spot on, this is the perfect place to go for a date, meet with friends, meet with colleagues! We did the wine and gelato pairing and everything was chefs kiss! Can’t wait to come back
Not a bad gelato spot. Just wish there were more flavors. Mint chocolate chip was loaded with chips. It was bomb. The cookie crumble was lacking cookie for me. Wish there was more.
Each time we go its always busy, so try to make reservations. Without reservations there is a bit of a wait but not extreme. Even while they are busy, the servers are always pleasant and quick to help. The chicken wings I always love....the fried chicken not so much. Overall nice place to have drinks and vibe.
Just go!
A TikTok find ended up being one of the most pleasurable nights out in a while. The gelato and wine pairing is a must. The flavours of both are delicious and some pairings were mind blowing.
The service from Jade was also phenomenal. Cannot recommend enough.

How did I not know about this place sooner??
This place came from the brightest mind out there, simply because it combines 2 of the greatest food-pleasures out there: gelato + wine.
Their selection is always changing, but each gelato is perfectly matched to the perfect wine. Our server Audrey, was phenomenal. She had the best attitude and energy, and was super helpful when it came to deciding the perfect balance of flavours throughout our gelato+wine flight.
They are still a small place, and I believe that stepping up their presentation (especially when ordering flights) will take them to the next level.
Our favourite combination was the lemon gelato with Prosecco. If it's on the menu, get it - you won't regret it.
I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place if you're ever in Toronto!

My family has been coming to Your Gelato since they first opened on Yonge St. They have the best assortment of flavours and you can tell they use quality ingredients. My favourite is the salted caramel, bacio, and pistachio!
Stopped by for a drink and a bite by the water. Great spot with the friendliest staff and lovely view!
Had the chicken and waffles, and the wings, didn't disappoint! Nice breading on the chicken and waffles were nice and fluffy.
The ice cream was killer! We had the soft serve and the ice cream sandwhich and if you're ever craving ice cream in the area that's where you wanna go!!

What a fantastic ice cream parlor! The owner's expertise in desserts is truly impressive. Their signature ice cream is absolutely heavenly.
I tried the passion fruit and raspberry sorbet, very refreshing on a summer afternoon. The raspberry was slightly on the sweeter side. However the acidity of the passion fruit balanced it out. The staff are super friendly and explained the flavours very well and a must try if you're in the neighborhood
Great experience at Joe Bird. Gorgeous view of the water right on the Harbour front. The food was very good for the price. Eggs were a bit undercooked, but this was the only thing I could have improved. The atmosphere was very pleasant and we were escorted to a nice table in the shade. Wait times were low and we got our food very quickly. Staff was friendly and very attentive. Gluten friendly options were available on their brunch menu for sure. :)
An endearing love story of an Italian boy and a vegan girl, blossomed into a Vegan, nut, soy free Gelato bar😍
Small batch vegan artisan gelatos, perfect for a warm summers day. Made with rice milk the gelatos are light to eat, easy on digestion and fantastic on flavour. The flavours are changed each day giving so much varieties and choices almost spoiling the customers😋 they also have liquor infused gelatos.
Along with an espresso machine and a good selection of wines and liquors it’s a perfect place to indulge in.
The patios beautiful and parking is easy to find in the lane.
They also cater and have gelato carts.

We wrapped a Barbie movie night with soft serve and amazing dips and toppings! Ended up pinning the memory on the wall 😀 Perfect place, great options, great prices and the service was the cherry on the... 🍨🍦
I’m so happy this opened up, the gelato is delicious. I had the hazelnut and it was perfect nutty goodness.
Prices are reasonable given that BR down the street charges the same for far inferior ice cream. $5 is a lot but that’s just how much ice cream costs everywhere nowadays. Will definitely be making this a regular spot.

Unique and yummy flavors. Coconut Cream, Bronte Sicilian Pistachio taste incredibly delicious. Good portions and reasonable pricing.
Great hangout on a sunny summer day!

I love lemon Gelato so I tried 1 scoop on their home made waffle cone. Flavor is very good lemon flavor. Ive had other lemon gelato that tasted like store version but this one was excellent . What makes it even better is combined flavor of their homemade waffle cone. For and extra $1.00 it’s totally worth it! Will definitely come back to try other flavors as they have good selection ! 10/10
Such a great addition to Avenue Road! The staff are very helpful and friendly. I love the unique flavours- cherry cream is so decadent, and the guava is amazing on a hot day. Waffle cones are the best I’ve ever had- very crispy and fresh. They even have adorable frozen dog treats. Highly recommend a visit!
Great selection of gelato, reasonable prices, delicious and fresh waffle cone (the best I've had), friendly staff.
I dropped my daughters cone on the floor while trying to juggle 3 cones and 2 kids. Without missing a beat, the lovely server told me she was grabbing me a new one and not to worry. I felt terrible and offered to pay again but she insisted. Very sweet.

Beautiful day to be on the patio for brunch. It has a gorgeous view of the Toronto harbour. Great for people watching and to take a break from the Harbourfront crowds on a holiday. The food was decent as well, pretty good for a touristy location. Had the ricotta eggs which sounded strange but was actually pretty light. The acidity of the grape tomatoes really balanced out the creamy ricotta and other cheese. The signature Joe Bird sandwich was crispy and yummy. The Belgian waffles were heavy and loaded with berries and sugar walnuts. Food + atmosphere + view = A+.
I love La Diperie and have been to many locations. First time at this location and both our cups were hollow in the center? Pretty sure it’s not supposed to be like that…. 🤨
It's clean, welcoming and tasty! Salted caramel surprised me, was amazing and I'm not a caramel kind of person
They have so many options which is great they even have ice cream cones, as well as popsicles and more.
The mint chocolate chip waffle cone was delicious as always👌so glad they have an ice cream shop close to High park🍦

We went as a group of 4, all trying 2 different flavours. The gelato was not authentic, with poor texture that broke off in pieces, rather than uniform smooth texture. They offered around 6-8 vegan options, but limited to fruit flavours. The small size was $6, with two scoops/flavour options and generous portions. They had a few tables available outside on their patio. Good customer service, but will not be returning due to the poor quality.
I visited XO Gelato three times when I stayed in the Mount Pleasant village May 11 to 13 . I tried 8 different flavors, and they were all delicious.
the owner makes the ice cream himself and has the most interesting flavours (like chocolate chili, delicious with a kick). the fruit flavours were probably our favourite. the grapefruit particularly was outstanding and a flavour explosion! i also really enjoyed the pistachio, extremely creamy. definitely coming back to try more flavours.
Has a variety of different flavors, including non dairy options. Staff was very friendly. And there is a cool patio area outside where you can sit and enjoy. You can get samples before you select the one you want. Perfect if you are craving something sweet. However, they are no toppings available if that is what you are looking for.
They have a good selection of gelato flavors with some more unique than others. I enjoyed my gelato: hazelnut and chili chocolate which was indeed spicy but had good balance of flavors
Tons of desserts, ice cream, cookies, donuts, Cheescake Factory cheesecakes, soft serve and hard ice cream, cakes, milkshakes, tons of toppings and dips. Out of hard ice cream, so ordered soft. Delicious creamy soft serve ice cream, friendly staff, not the cheapest place but worth coming here on a hot day.
Bought a large keylime ice cream. Broke into it to see it was hollow. Our friend bought a small and it was completely filled so we went in to ask for more ice cream and was told "That's just the way it is." Yes, it tastes good but not worth that $7.95 + tax price. We would rather take our business elsewhere.
Pretty good gelato but a little pricey.
I always get their fruit flavours. Their passion fruit was really good with a strong flavour. Their hazelnut is also quite good. Would definitely come back.

This place is so so good. A must try is there molten lava cake ❤️.
We are here every weekend, tried most of their dips and ice cream flavours. The staff is lovely every time you visit. Space is clean, cozy. With the outdoor space you can relax and enjoy your ice cream.
Yours truly lava girl 😂

Been coming here since 07 and there’s good reason for that. First off all the gelato is excellent period. The “savory” selection is really good. The chocolate, the simple staple take you to the next level of chocolate. But the real show stoppers here are the fruit flavors. Some cream based, some iced based, they are just out of the world and done better then most. Current favorites include lime mint, passion fruit and grapefruit. When fruit is in peak season, expect multiple seasonal flavors to be on the menu. Keep it up!
