Blondies Pizza Ossington — Restaurant in Toronto

The Wyck Recommendation: Blondies Pizza (Ossington) Rating: 3.9/5 Crispy Love and Cardboard Romance on Ossington

Intro Scene Four adults deep into a bar crawl. One neon pink box. And two people, my brother and sister in law, suddenly acting like they were on their fourth Hinge date in 2014. Blushing, giggling, touching elbows like teenagers who just discovered each other and carbs. It was... unnerving. But beautiful. Pizza did that. Not therapy. Not vacation. Pizza.

What Was Ordered Pepperoni Slice. Divine. High quality meat, crispy edges, oily in the best dirty way. If Toronto has a pepperoni champion, this is it. Plain Cheese. Classic and chaotic. Cheesy enough to feel dangerous. Mushroom and Tomato White Slice. Creamy, herby, the kind of slice that wears cologne. Every slice slapped. All four of us went silent, like a cult taking communion under a streetlamp.

Service Commentary No names. No eye contact. No small talk. Just the way God and Blondies intended. Point, pay, receive. It felt like a drug deal in heaven.

Vibe Check It is a sidewalk affair. You eat hunched over a greasy box like you are hiding a secret. People pass by. Some nod. Others stare. You feel like a raccoon in a Gucci belt. And honestly, that is the energy I want when I am eating something this filthy and perfect.

The Space Itself It is pink, it is loud, it is unapologetically boxy. The interior is pure utility. There is nowhere to sit. Not a chair in sight. If it is summer, you are golden. If it is winter, you are screwed. Bring gloves or shame.

About the Neighborhood Ossington is Toronto’s most overhyped strip of sidewalk. It is where mediocre outfits go to feel famous. Bars try too hard. People pretend to read wine lists. You will wait twenty minutes for something lukewarm. But somehow, Blondies slices through all that pretense like a flaming sword of sodium and joy.

Hits and Misses ✓ Pepperoni slice. Crispy, meaty, downright erotic ✓ Cheese slice. Surprisingly bold for something so basic ✓ Every bite a hit. No regrets, just lust ✗ Zero seating. Great for romance, bad for your spine ✗ Crust was a bit too doughy. Not tragic, but noted

Final Verdict Blondies is not just a pizza stop. It is a street side reboot of your faith in greasy things. It turned two exhausted parents into hormonal twenty year olds again. It made all of us shut up and chew like animals who had just discovered fire. This place is chaotic good. No napkins, no seats, no apologies. Just a pink box full of feelings you were not ready to feel.

EDIT #2: I finally had a chance to order Blondies pizza again, and it was great. Matt the owner made everything right and then some! Would order from them again. Great experience this time around, and delicious fresh pizza, salad and dipping sauces.

EDIT #1: The owner reached out to me to make this right. He was really sympathetic and was genuinely apologetic and took responsibility for the whole situation. Even went so far was to immediately change some of their processes and offer compensation. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but am willing to give it another shot. Rating updated - will update again when I try the pizza.

ORIGINAL: Absolutely terrible customer service. Will never order again. Took my payment and never delivered. Completely unsympathetic service.

More details: Called the placed directly to see if they deliver and they said yes. Ordered over the phone and the person told me it would be delivered in about 30min. After 50min there was no delivery. I called back and they claimed the driver had stolen my pizza. They then claimed they were sending another one ASAP. Almost 60min later, the replacement pizza had not arrived.

As it had been nearly 2h since I placed the order, I said I don’t want the pizza, and to give me a refund. I was then informed that I could only get a refund by coming in person to the store.

I then spent 30min on the phone with their staff telling me “it wasn’t their fault”. I also tried to explain the major issue with me going to store to get my money back, when I had only interacted with them in the first place to get the convenience of a home delivery. Finally tried to explain that I’ve paid them money for a good, and received nothing - essentially they stole money from me.

gluten free beware! I was waiting to write this review until I tried the pizza for a second time but I feel like I have to say something because the gluten-free crust has made me so sick twice now. There must be a ton of cross-contamination going on. I called the restaurant to confirm that it was gluten-free because it's listed as "gluten friendly" on all of the apps with zero explanation, which is a super weird thing to do to people who have food allergies . I have celiac and I know I'm assuming a risk when I order a pizza from a regular restaurant, but I haven't had a single issue in years. This pizza has made me so ill that I have been throwing up after both times. The only thing I can think of is that the crust isn't actually gluten-free. I'm always OK with restaurants that prepare gluten items, this isn't a problem I ever have at other restaurants and I have never had a reaction from a pizza restaurant , so something is suspicious here. my violent vomiting honestly makes me wonder if they're rolling the crust in a pile of flour. I know that or it's just one employee who doesn't give a shit because I've ordered at the same time on the same day for two weeks .Do not order this if you are gluten sensitive, or you have celiac because you will be paying for it...
