‘Stool Presidente may be long gone from the north, but his pizza rankings have been coming in hot on his social media. Now that Dave Portnoy’s Toronto pizza reviews are complete, the only thing left to do is to rank them in order from best to worst.
Portnoy never made it as far west as Windsor but he did manage to get to a few spots in Etobicoke and Mississauga.
Those of us following along since day one have witnessed Portnoy taste his way around Toronto’s pizza scene and meet some interesting people along the way.

On his tour, Portnoy dished out some stellar reviews and some unexpectedly mediocre ones too.
And while he did promise us a definitive ranking of his own, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to compile all of his reviews and make it anyway.
Without further adieu, here’s Dave Portnoy’s official Toronto (and GTA) pizza ranking.
Score: 10.0
Review: “Yummy […] if you’re eating Pizza Pizza and you’re not coming to see Nahrin, you’re not doing it right.”
Score: 8.4
Review: “Very good looking pizza […] this can go basically toe to toe with any pizza I’ve ever eaten, it’s that good.”
Score: 8.3
Review: “It has that crisp you need, very very good […] it’s a great pizza, no doubt.”
Score: 8.2
Review: “There’s more crisp than what it looks like with that flop. Great undercarriage […] smells good […] a great pizza.”
Score: 8.0
Review: “Thin, crispy, delicious […] You’ve got to drive here and taste it, it’s that good.”
Score: 7.9
Review: “It has crunch, great flavour, light and airy […] without the undercarriage that’s charcoaled and black, you can’t get into the 8s for me.”
Score: 7.8
Review: “Doughy, heavy, the crust is so good […] totally different than what we’ve eaten so far in Toronto, really good.”
Score: 7.7
Review: “Good undercarriage […] really good pizza. That could be your neighbourhood pie, you could never go anywhere else and be really happy with it.”
Score: 7.5
Review: “I really do like it, it needs a little more sauce […] I like tight-together slices, and this thing’s not going anywhere. Distinctive taste.”
Score: 7.5
Review: “Really good stuff, totally not my style. If you like Sicilian, you’ve got to try it […] very good, but it’s a mouthful.’
Score: 7.4
Review: “A good-looking pizza […] spectacular undercarriage. A bit heavy on the cheese to sauce ratio.”
Score: 7.4
Review: “Really good, really basic […] You can eat it every day and be happy with it. Good, good pizza.”
Score: 7.3
Review: “A good quality pizza […] the cheese definitely has a tang, and I like it.”
Score: 7.3
Review: “It’s good, it’s thin, it’s light. You could hammer this whole thing in a second.”
Score: 7.0
Review: “Best people I’ve met […] pretty greasy on top, a very distant cousin to New Haven-style pizza.”
Score: 6.8
Review: “Domino’s undercarriage […] huge slice. A fair score, I get the feeling this is a fast-casual pizza.”
Score: 6.8
Review: “Wood-fired, almost Neopolitan style. Good undercarriage, a little floppy.”
Score: 6.1
Review: “Not bad, super doughy, super cheesy […] It’s big, it’s thick, it’s floppy. It’s tasty, but man, if you eat this I think you’re in for the night.”
