With a long history of being on The Queensway, Dino’s has expanded to a couple of new locations, one on Dundas Street West, the other on Kipling Avenue.
The popular Dino is well known for both delivering great tasting pizza, done in a wood burning oven—he was one of the first in Toronto—and his extensive charitable work on behalf of the homeless.
The colourful pizza maker is donating free pies to all frontline emergency personnel involved in the fight against COVID-19.
With his new Kipling location in a space formerly occupied by Via Napoli, he is now able to deliver the same great ‘wood-oven’ pizza he’s famous for, but with expanded ‘gourmet’ offerings and also full LLBO-service.
The new space offers an expanded dining experience that wasn’t allowed for given his space limitations at the original Queensway location.
Ever the edgy marketer, Dino has even named a few pizzas after Toronto personalities: Amy Pataki, Gill Deacon, and famously, Mayor John Tory (which was also a great way to entice Mr. Tory to attend the opening of his new Kipling location last month!).
But Dino’s is most about great tasting wood-oven pizza, along with an assortment of ‘pide’ offerings—‘pide’ being a pizza-like Turkish dish. Available for pasta lovers are a couple of penne offerings and a rigatoni; three traditional salads are also on the menu.
Make it a full lunch or dinner dining experience at Dino’s on Dundas: a choice of 31 different pizzas, or a pasta dish, along with wine or beer in a very pleasant dining room.
The colourful pizza maker donates many pies in a list of charities that he is involved in. He plans to travel across Canada giving away pizza to celebrate the role immigrants play in this country.
Dino’s Pizza locations includes 871 Kipling Ave., 820 The Queensway and 4923 Dundas St. W. Phone 416-259-0050.
