The Best Deep-Dish Pizza in Toronto

Looking for the best deep dish pizza in Toronto? We've got your cravings covered. In contrast to the thin crusts or New York-style pizzas that most pizzerias around the city offer, deep-dish pizza has a crust that measures anywhere from one to five inches in height. Most people think immediately of Chicago when deep-dish is thrown around, and this is a fair association. Chicago-style pizzas are baked in a round steel pan to give the finished product their characteristic height. Though classic Chicago-style deep dish can be given credit for making the concept of deep-dish popular, Detroit-style pizza is having a moment in Toronto's food scene and can also be considered a popular and tasty deep-dish style pizza. Next time you are on the lookout for a delicious pie, be sure to check out this list of Toronto's best deep-dish pizzas.
