Pizza Pino is a family-run Italian pizzeria at 855 Westney Road South in Ajax, Ontario, one of Durham Region's eight communities. It has fed Ajax families for four decades and holds a 5.0-star average across about 1,286 Google reviews, one of the most consistently loved restaurants in the town.

A Westney Road Institution

Pizza Pino serves the pizza Ajax grew up on: generously topped pies, the Pino special, and Pino sticks built on aged dough with the house's signature cheese. The kitchen also offers halal pepperoni and a Montreal-style pizza baked with the cheese on top, the style Montrealers argue about and everyone else just enjoys. Sandwiches and pasta round out a menu regulars would be furious to see changed.

Why Pizza Pino Stands Out in Durham Region

Pizza Pino stands out in Durham Region because it pairs a four-decade track record with restaurant-grade consistency. Current owner Donna, with more than 20 years in the food industry, took over roughly two decades ago, and reviewers call it a town gem and one of the best pizza spots in the GTA. Old photos of Ajax line the walls, a working scrapbook of a business that has watched its town grow.

For anyone exploring what living in Ajax is really like, a meal at Pizza Pino is a great introduction to the town's unpretentious, family-first character. And if the Lake Ontario shoreline is part of your plan, our waterfront buying guide covers what every buyer should ask.

Who Would Love This Spot

Families making the Friday night pizza run, sports teams after a game, commuters off the 401 or the GO line, and anyone who believes a proper pizza should be generous with its toppings. If you are touring homes in Ajax, a stop at Pizza Pino doubles as a crash course in why the town feels so settled and family-focused.

A Local Business That Anchors Ajax

Ajax grew quickly from a wartime industrial town into one of the fastest-growing communities in Durham Region. Pizza Pino is part of what keeps a growing town grounded: a familiar, independent business where the staff know the regulars and the recipe has not been tinkered into oblivion. Supporting independents like this is how Ajax keeps its identity while it changes.
