The Best Deep-Dish Pizza in Toronto: Where to Find the Thickest, Most Delicious Slices
Sometimes, a thin crust pizza just doesn’t satisfy. When you're craving something hearty and filling, nothing beats a thick, cheesy slice of deep-dish pizza. With its towering crust, rich tomato sauce, and gooey layers of sharp cheese, deep-dish pizza is a decadent treat that offers a whole new pizza experience.
Originating in Chicago, deep-dish pizza is made in a deep pan rather than a flat pizza tray, which allows for that iconic, thick crust—ranging from one to five inches in height—that makes it almost resemble a savoury pie. While thin crust and other pizza styles are still well-loved in Toronto, deep-dish has carved out its own special place.
If you’re on the hunt for the best deep-dish pizza in Toronto, look no further. Check out our list of top spots that serve up this delicious, hearty pizza style, guaranteed to satisfy your cravings for a thicker, saucier slice.
