Mattachioni

Stopped in for a quick lunch. The Mortadella Panini on their Focaccia was ok. The bread was a bit too oily making it really soggy. The Napoli and Margherita pizzas were good, nice dough and fresh toppings. The service was an issue, the lone server seemed very distracted with her phone and since the place was empty, it could've been a better experience. Not a memorable experience.

Bought 5 sandwiches today. Usually the orders are properly and generously and freshly made. Today, however, whoever made our sandwiches DID NOT do a good job. The sandwiches were literally slapped together; the porchetta sandwich was literally filled with pork fat. Hardly any meat - let alone pulled pork. The rest of the sandwiches were very oily and looked like a 4 year old put them together. The bread was perfect as usual. Mattachioni is not taking care of the Junction store for a while now, seeming to focus on the Leslieville store. It's a big shame.

Fantastic! I'm surprised by how much I like it - I had the Bonatti de Bergamo, and it was delicious.

I'll put Mattachioni in top 5 pizzas in Toronto - others (in no particular order) are Big Trouble Pizza, Descendent, Maker, and North of Brooklyn.

Other reviews praised the tiramisu, but I thought it was just OK. But the focaccia - wow. Easily the softiest fluffiest that I've had - 100% get them.

Try this ultimate pandemic activity: walk up the George Town rail path to get your steps in, then stop at Mattachioni at the top of the rail path for the best pizza ever. While you wait for it to cook, pick up some of the fabulous condiments including their bottled pepperoncini. Eat your pizza hot, while sitting on the bench outside. Wood oven deliciousness!

The sandwiches they have are out of this world. This place has a lot of charm, is delightful to pick up some small groceries and has reallllly good bread.

I often gift the hot sauce they have.

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Simple and glorious. The little salad that came with it was arugula seeds, tomato and little fried onions which was a nice touch with the dressing on the side. This in house made bread is the absolute best bread ever. Coated with olive oil and lots of toppings.

Post Covid review!! This place is amazing and has kept me happy throughout the pandemic. Best bread & focaccia.....beautiful arugula and rapini. I recently had their tiramisu which was OUT OF THIS WORLD.....not too sweet and seriously heaven. $3 pizza dough which makes incredible pizzas. Chicken liver pate? Amazing. You never know what delicious surprise they may have next!

I absolutely love Mattachioni! Their sourdough is incredible, I believe they bake it in a wood fire oven so it has incredible flavour, but the texture is really my favourite part about it - so stretchy and soft! I've also had their sandwiches, mortedella was a bit greasy IMO but the caprese was out of this world delicious. Still need to try their pizzas :)

I tried some of Mattachioni's goods at a local pop-up. The sourdough loaf was the best I've found in the city. Also got a nice pannetone. I am creating this post because I have to remember to visit the restaurant soon.

This place is very close to my work, and I heard good things about this place from my colleague, so I decided to give it a try a couple weeks ago. I had one of their 'special' pizzas (Napoli) that you can get for $10 from Monday to Wednesday.

I called in for a take out, and they told me that it would take only about 10 minutes to be prepared. I was skeptical as a lot of places take much more time than they tell you initially when you place an order over the phone. I got there anyways in 10 minutes. Decor of the place was very cute and cheerful, and I was surprised to learn that my pizza was already packed in a box. The staff I dealt was very nice and pleasant.

When I opened the box at work, I was really happy to see that they didn't go cheap on the ingredients on top. Also, it was still super warm as it was fresh out of pizza oven, and mostly importantly, it smelled amazing.

I was impressed by the fact that what I was tasting was only $10. If you enjoy eating fresh gourmet pizza, you definitely want to try this place! It's reasonably priced even without the Monday to Wednesday special, and mostly importantly, they know what they are doing.

I've had Mattachioni on my book mark list for a long time and finally got around to checking it out for lunch.

I'm not sure where all the negative reviews below are coming from. I personally cannot get enough of this place! What keeps me coming back? Their burratta ($14 half order/$22 for a full order) - a wonderful soft hunk of oozy cheese atop a bed of assorted ripe tomatoes in a light coating of olive oil, sea salt and chopped basil! On the side, toasted garlic wedges of the house made sourdough.

I've tried their Napoli pizza ($16) and Boccadasse ($19) - both really good. The crust is the perfect chewiness and tasted amazing dipped in the leftover sauce of the burrata. We also grabbed a bottle of red wine because it's pretty much mandatory with pizza this good!

Service was lovely on both occasions that I visited. I plan to make Mattachioni one of my regular haunts!
