It’s rare to find a food item that is more universally loved than a slice of pizza. Some would say they hate pineapple or tomatoes as toppings, but it’s hard to find someone who does not love pizza as a whole.
While Toronto’s top pizza spots aren’t as intense as those in New York or Naples, every local has their go-to pizza place, whether it is a mom-and-pop shop, fast food chain, or a major chain restaurant. As such, it’s not surprising that Mississauga has also steadily increased pizza restaurants throughout the years.
Lucky for you, we did all the legwork to find the best pizza restaurants in the Sauga area. From the famous Neapolitan style to seductive calzones and aromatic plant-based to New York-style pizza, we got everything for everyone to enjoy.

1. Pizza Nostra

Address: 362 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga, ON L5H 1H3
Website: https://www.pizzanostrainc.com/
When it comes to pizzas, Pizza Nostra knows how to experiment. Their pizza is not even overloaded with superfluous toppings, but their huge fanbase keeps coming here as kitchen genius owners Marco and Andrea Grande, and Lilly ensure that everything will fit their clientele’s taste buds.
Satisfy your tummy and soul by heading out to try fan favourites such as their version of Sammy (pure Italian pizza), Sicilian (massive portion), and the original Marco pizza (obviously named after the owner).
You can enjoy your favourite snack by the window or under the sun on their lovely patio.
2. Luca Pizza

Address: 3415 Dixie Rd, Mississauga, ON L4Y 4J6
Website: http://lucapizza.ca/
It’s easy to be dismissive of dining at a classic restaurant, especially if you are a frequent visitor to the place growing up. But Luca Pizza should be an exception. With almost 50-year experience, old-school Italian pizza making is what to expect here. No frills, all flavours.
Times have changed, but their magic lies in their hand-kneaded dough or, should we say, their hand-tossed pizza made with love and care. Their flavour selection is dazzling, but their Specials will surely entice you.
Try the classic Pepperoni, Deluxe, and Greek for a great burst of flavour or spice.
3. J.P’s Pizzeria

Address: 5980 Churchill Meadows Blvd, Mississauga, ON L5M 7M5
Website: http://jppizzeria.com/
Apart from Italian pizza, expect J.P’s Pizzeria to offer more choices that may demolish your gourmet pizza cravings. A popular spot among families, the food here would put you in Italy and Canada all at once. Crowd-pleasers are Canadian, Deluxe, and J.P.’s.
If you insist on having Italian-style pizza, you have a lot of choices too, like Bruschetta, Meat Lovers, and Margherita. However, there’s no chicer place to enjoy a legendary 18-inch pie under their family specials, but you do you.
4. Blondies Pizza
Address: 13 Stavebank Rd, Mississauga, ON L5G 2T3 (+more locations)
Website: https://www.blondiespizza.ca/
While there are a lot of pizza restaurants around Meadows Boulevard, we assure you this isn’t the pizza you would settle for because you can’t find better. Who doesn’t know about this bright pink neon sign pizza chain, anyway?
Gen Zs love Bondies Pizza. Why? First, everything about this place is pink (and Instagrammable). From the exterior, and interior, to their pizza boxes – their love comes in one colour, pink! Second, their pizza is made to order, so you know you will be served the freshest pie possible. Third, they have savoury thin-crust selections, which are yummy!
Want to have many toppings in a whole-sized pizza? Feel free to customize your pink palette with the flavour of your choice. You can also order their gluten-free and vegan offerings if you don’t want extra calories and carbs.

5. Marconi Pizza

Address: 3635 Cawthra Rd, Mississauga, ON L5A 2Y5
Website: https://marconipizza.com/
“Quality. It’s in our Heritage.” That is Marconi Pizza’s motto, and they have genuinely taken it by heart since 1969. Marconi Pizza is named after a Senator in Italy but is owned by Paul Celli, an Italian, who dishes out the pizza he grew up enjoying. So, if you’re a fan of Italian pizzas, look no further than an authentic Italian restaurant.
Their pizza is incredibly crispy, light, and thin, topped with the right ingredients and their special home-style sauce. Classic techniques aside, mainstays in this restaurant are Marconi Special Deluxe, Chicken Supreme, and Hawaiian.
Since it’s not all the time you get to dine at top Italian restaurants in Toronto, feel free to take a rebellious route and try any of their pasta selection. You won’t regret it, for sure!
6. Michaelangelo’s Italian Foods

Address: 3080 Windwood Dr., Mississauga, ON L5N 2K5
Website: https://michaelangelosfoods.com/
Getting the first spot to take an order at Michaelangelo’s on the weekend is an Olympic competition. Michaelangelo’s Italian Foods is locally famous for the person it is named after. Settled in the heart of Windwood Drive, the hole-in-the-wall concept is loved by foodies for doling out OVERSIZED pizza slices at an affordable price.
Did we mention that their menu is Italian-inspired? Well, if it isn’t apparent enough on their tag name, let’s reiterate that the food selection at this restaurant veers from Italian tradition.
Pizza flavours range from pepperoni, ham, and more playful veggie toppings. The best part? You can order on Uber Eats should you want to binge-watch your fave Netflix show while munching some snacks.
7. Goodfellas Wood Oven Pizza

Address: 209 Queen St S, Mississauga, ON L5M 1L4 (+more locations)
Website: https://www.goodfellaspizza.ca/
Mostly everything is made traditional and from scratch at Goodfellas Wood Oven Pizza. The top-tier pies at this family-run venture are crispy, thin – most of all – loaded with your favourite toppings.
Their degustation menu features the likes of Cannoli and a selection of delicious pasta, but their Neapolitan pizza will win your stomach and heart over. But while your eyes are fixed on the superb selection of pizzas, remember to browse their selection of wine, especially the creative signature cocktails.
Goodfellas is a nice Italian restaurant and the prices are reasonable. Service is quick, friendly, and attentive, making it the perfect spot for a casual dinner with friends and family.
8. Amadio’s Pizza

Address: 360 Revus Ave Unit #6, Mississauga, ON L5G 4S4
Website: https://amadiospizza.com/
A healthy pizza may sound like a figure of speech, but it’s easy to find one if you try to be patient. Well, since you’re already reading this, patience is no longer (a virtue, lol) required as we introduce you to Amadio’s Pizza.
This 32-year-old open kitchen may not be 100% vegan, but it has many vegetarian options. Be ready to drool over the smell of handcrafted, stone-baked pizza. If 16-inch pizza makes you weak, imagine what their 18-inch pizza will do to you!
Healthy options aside, try the classics; they are our favourites!
9. Za Café Pizzeria

Address: 1165 Derry Rd E Unit#1, Mississauga, ON L5T 1B6
Website: https://zacafe.ca/
Za Café Pizzeria is a good vibe-kind-of-resto where friends can chill and vibe hard while enjoying a family-sized pizza. If you’re around Derry Road (& Dixie Road) after 4 PM, you can make a pit stop at this café to try their sourdough pizzas, coffee, or gelato.
Each pizza is handcrafted and well-baked, creating a light and soft texture that will have you wanting more. Expect Neapolitan Style Pizza with Spicy Pepperoni, Prosciutto, and Mushroom Za as top-tier flavours.
Are your friends picky eaters? Fret not. At this café, you can customize your order or choose from massive white and red pizzas with toppings that will suit even the most sensitive taste buds. Buon appetite!
10. Papa Giuseppe’s

Address: 26 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga, ON L5G 1C8
Website: https://papagiuseppes.com/
What’s the best side of Mississauga, you ask? It has to be Papa Giuseppe’s! A run, jump and steps away from Pizza Nostra, you will find Papa Giuseppe’s, also located in the Lakeshore neighbourhood. The journey coming here is worth it, even if you don’t live nearby.
A heap of pasta, salad, and of course, pizza, this establishment is more than an Italian culinary experience. The exterior design is a work of art – it looks like a small museum! Everything here is gorgeous and will remind you of Rome. Plus, they are not costly, and their service is pretty fast!
Love seafood? You can pair your Pizza Al Formaggio with a dazzling Lobster Ravioli!
