My husband and I ordered two pizzas from this place. So incredibly bad we thought it was a joke. Completely inedible.

Crisp , yeast crusts
Minimalist decor BYOB!
Fab pizza wi thoughtful ingredients- simple is better
Such a cool owner chef
TRY!!
Of the earth

I got a cheesesteak and it was tough as hell it was pretty fatty and it was very blan..to make things worse they were very rude and uninviting, I just felt awkward.
I'm sticking with IWTP

My go-to pizza place when in Toronto. Such a great vibe when you walk in and the pizzas are never less than amazing! I would definitely recommend the 'Fun Guy' pizza - my favourite. The only thing is the size of the pizzas are a little but still, the flavour is wicked awesome, I can never get enough.

I stumbled across this place by accident and I'm glad I did. I was intrigued with the name and the look of it. Some of the best places i have eaten at were holes-in-the-wall kinda places. This met that prediction is spades. John and Beth were working - I know that because they introduced themselves and knew practically everyone by name. I tried their Buddha Bomb and it was all that i had hoped... more

We have been wanting to try this place for quite a while. We finally got the chance tonight. It was a rather unfortunate experience. Our pizza was burnt and thus overly crispy. My fiancé got take out then picked me up from work. By the time we got home, the pizza was no longer edible as it was way too crispy and salty. It was also so greasy that it stained the car seat. I wonder if the person... more

The pizzas are very small and they only do thin crust. If you like thin crust pizza then you will love this place. But I like my pizza thick and doughy. The selection was good

There was another review that gave a lot more detail, but I will try to put it all in a few points.

1. The pizza here is about average. To say that the pizza here was amazing would be overdoing it, perhaps to the point of saying Pizzeria Libretto did not exist.

2. The pizza is thin crust. It has decent flavour and quality toppings, but is just ok.

3. Prices here are reasonable at 12-15 per... more

The other day we went for the first time to the Buddha pie and were really happy with the service and food.

Had a pizza that had fresh Ingredients and tasted like heaven. Totally recommend going to this cozy little pizza place.

Great food. Ready fast. Great service - the guy is always friendly and up for some talk while he gets your food set.

Flavourful crispy pizza in a small but welcoming shop.

About 4 or 5 tables but the people there are super friendly and helped us decide on our orders. Had the good karma pizza, and you can taste the onions, artichokes, and seasoned chicken. I wanted to try the pear and proscuitto, i'll do that for next time if i'm around the area. My friend had the mushroom and cheese which is simple comfort... more

One of the best pizzas I've had

Buddha Pie is hands down one of the best pizza joints I've been to since moving to Toronto! The Presto Pesto with Goat Cheese (Gluten free) is absolutely fantastic, we get it every single time. It's hard to find a really good gluten free crust, other pizza joints always taste like cardboard but at buddha pie it's amazing, you don't... more

This pizza joint is one of a kind. Unique menu of pizzas. Great customer service. Good music. Very upbeat. And the pizza, spectacular!! I go here regularly as well, obviously because its so good. It's like a gourmet pie.

Awesome regular and gluten free pizza! Officially have found a new spot in the area.

The guys that run this place are a good time, always up for a chat and can hammer out a great pizza for pickup in 15-20 minutes. FYI no delivery. Highly recommend!Attached picture is the regular BBQ chicken and a gluten free buffalo Buddha

above average pizza, above average prices.... wouldnt get the bbq chicken again

Awesome gluten free pizza. So happy I found this place. A little pricey, but worth the treat.

The only challenge seems the inconsistent hours and boy it would be awesome if they delivered as I need to time the bus to and fro.

Burnt pizza

It a about a year ago we went after deciding we didn't feel like cooking and we called ahead to order. We picked up the pizzas: one with gorgonzola and one with meat. The meat pizza was burned and tasted like crispy charred cardboard but my wife liked hers with the cheese. We would give them another chance for sure... more

Went here after a day at the CNE.
Some very interesting pizza choices. We ordered 4 pizzas (for 4 people) (very veggies, mediterranean sundance, Buddha bomb and buffalo buddha)
Nice decent flavors.... the only cons...would be you have to pay extra for gluten free crust? I was under the impression everything in the restaurant was gluten free, the restaurant is really stuffy ...way too hot and I... more

buddha pie

The smoked pulled pork pizza is amazing,,the added coleslaw at the end is just the perfect combo…to enjoy this more ,have it there

Delicious

This place is great. All the pizzas are terrific. We have been half a dozen times and will go back. My favourite is the zen margarita which comes with a brown bag full of fresh basil. And they cater to our kids too. A great neighbourhood place and a must go.

A personal pizza pie prepared in under 15 minutes you say? Inconceivable! Well not at Buddha pie, heck you can even get a delicious Aiden's gluten-free crust if you ask.
Now that is Amore!

Buddha's is a cozy lil' pizza place with a small seating area. Empty boxes of pizza line the walls with drawings on them created by gratefully pizza satiated kids and artistic pizza lovers. It's never boring... more

I've heard many good things about Buddha Pie, and today was the first time I happened by when they were open. Johnny (I think I got that right?), the owner, was in on a Sunday trying out a new dough, and was happy to serve me (and to answer my questions about how he got started). He even fed my dog some chicken.

Because the bus trip home was pretty long, he gave me tips on how to reheat it in... more

terrific thin crust pizza

This is great pizza with very thin crust, in the style of Pizza Libretto. Our favourites are the Margherita with fresh basil, and the Presto Pesto. Their tomato sauce is also very tasty. Very little seating; mostly a take out place. If you get the Margherita take out, you will get the basil in a little bag to shred it... more

Didn't actually eat here. However, here's why they deserve 4 stars.

I am here looking for an apartment and I'm in a suit. I'm an articling student with a law firm. This is a place which focuses on organic cooking, great ingredients and living and supporting your community. Not always a match that goes hand in hand.

Not only was there no judgment that I only ordered a drink so I could wait for... more

Tasty, but not quite pizza

We ordered the "Mediterranean Sundance" as take out. It smelled delicious, the toppings were tasty, the service was great and fast, but the crust... Ugh. The thin crust could not stand up to the oodles of grease in the toppings, and when baked, turned into a fried cracker or similar. We felt like we were eating nachos or fried nan... more

A rustic pizza shop owned by two people who are passionate about their pies. The owners are not only super friendly but like to discuss the recipes and ingredients used in their pies.

We are addicted to the pulled pork pizza which is topped with amazing coleslaw when it comes out of the oven.

Our more simple go-to pizza is the margherita. If you want a small dinner for two one pizza will... more

This is like eating at your friend's kitchen table...only so much more delicious

This is like eating at your friend's kitchen table...only so much more delicious! We accidentally found Buddha Pie, as we needed a quick nosh on our way to another one of life's many tasks. Wow...what a find! The owners are warm and welcoming, and quickly make you feel at home, or as if you are visiting an old friend. However,... more

Blech! Ordered 4 pizzas. The "Good Karma" was inedible... Piled high with spinach gone bad. The special of the day "Mexican" pizza was WAY too cheddary. The "Buddha Bomb" was OK and the "Presto Pesto" was the best of the bunch. The crust was the worst we've ever had. Pics online show a wood-oven type thin chewy crust but in reality the crust on my 4 pizzas was an unleavened, cracker-type crust... more

I was shocked to find that such great pizza comes from this small shop on Annette St.

We ordered 2 pizzas for pick up and were told that they would be ready in about 40 min. We got the Zen Margherita ($13.99) and the Presto Pesto with goat cheese ($14.99).

Both pizzas were great. Sizing is a bit on the small size. The Margherita pizza came with a bunch of fresh pesto that we could add to the... more

Amazing!

We called in an order tonight, a busy Friday night. We ordered one vegan pizza on a gluten-free crust and the Zen Margarita.

When my husband went to pick it up, the person told him that they'd accidentally made the vegan pizza with cheese. They'd already remade it without the cheese, but would we like to take the cheese one too? Of course he took it - who passes up free, tasty pizza,... more

Delicious!!!

The Zen Margherita pizza was fantastic and the owners are super awesome and really friendly.

Im a fan :)

I agree with Matthew's & Leslie-Ann's reviews.
The pizza is probably one of the better ones in the area, but it's still not "great". In fact, I find there to be a residual taste to the crust, that I think comes from the olive oil spray they use when they press the dough to thin it before baking. The sauce is excellent, and the toppings are good.
I do find it a bit pricey for the size of the... more

Maybe I'm biased because I live close enough to go home and relax while my pizza is being made, but I'd say Buddha Pie is some of the best pizza in the city.

The BBQ Chicken is tangy and, unlike lots of barbecue pizzas, doesn't taste like store-bought barbecue sauce. The Presto Pesto is a delicious option for people with an irrational dislike of tomatoes. On all the pizzas, the sauce is great... more

A few major blips--mostly in service--detract from good food and good intentions at this west side pizzeria.

I had to go way over and out to this neighbourhood at lunchtime recently, so I popped in. I've heard the pizza's good, but I've been hankering for AGES for a real-deal Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, so I was excited about trying theirs.

The first disappointment was that apparently they... more

Buddha Pie is better than many other pizza options in this area but I do not think it is one of the best pizzas in the city. One of the biggest downfalls to the Buddha Pie pizza is the crust, it just does not seem right. I have eaten pizzas all over Italy and in Toronto and just don't think this crust is up to snuff. It's better than, say, Pizza Pizza, or one of the chains, but it is not as... more

Everything is fresh and delicious. These people have a real passion for food - and the proof is in the pie! Highly, highly recommend. :)

What exactly is a Buddha Pie?

It's a delicious, thin-crust pizza loaded with toppings and eating it makes you feel so good that you want another.

This place took me by surprise. It used to be a coffee shop. They still serve great coffee, but now you can get pizza, sandwiches, and a fun soda from the pop menu.

It's very small place. Three small tables inside and one table outside.
Buddha Pie... more

I've been delaying reviewing Buddha Pie for some time. I really want to like this place and I feel bad giving it an average review given how awesome the owner is and how much potential there is. But, the bottom line is that despite the amazing reviews here and elsewhere (e.g. BlogTO) the pizza here isn't that amazing.

The owner and operator of this small pizza shop is awesome. The minute you... more

This place has great Pizza and Sandwiches!

Super thin crust, excellent ingredients and great prices!

I keep going back and it continues to make amazing pie and sandwiches.

Amazing pizza, and lovely people. Most four-cheese pizzas use a quarter as much of each cheese. Not these folks - WOW. And the pepperoni is bene, primo. Now if the police would act like grown-ups and allow people to actually stop (not park) their cars in front of the shop to pick up their take-out, they'd have a good shot at success... more

Best pizza in the city (if you like thin-crust) Pizza. Libretto's up there as well if you need to sit down, but if it's just pizza you're looking for this High-park newbie is sure to please.

First off they've got a Blues music streamed in from some internet station. That alone is good for one star. This tiny little hub of a pizza place on Annette St. is a neighbourhood gold mine for absolutely delicious pizza and stand that spoon straight up in your organic, fair trade coffee. I'm a funny girl when it comes to the 'za. I either love it or I hate it. At Buddha Pie it was an absolute... more

serving up gluten free thin crust pizza and sandwich's with the best ingredients, plus great coffee!
