Revolver Pizza St. Clair just opened its doors, marking the third location of this Etobicoke-born pizzeria. Known for their unique hybrid of New York-style and Neapolitan pies, Revolver is all about fresh ingredients, crispy crusts, and a seasonally rotating menu.

Revolver's newest location features a stripped-down, industrial vibe. Think brick walls, wooden tables, and a huge menu. It’s small, and perfect for takeout or a quick dine-in experience. Their open kitchen design lets you catch the action as your pizza bakes to perfection in their custom-built wood-burning oven.

The Menu:

• Mains:

  • Salumi Pizza ($20/12”, $30/18”) – Spicy salami, red onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella.

  • Pistachio Bianca Pizza ($20/12”, $30/18”) – Pistachios, mortadella, white sauce, and hot honey drizzle.

  • Chipotle Chicken Pizza ($20/12”, $30/18”) – Pulled chicken, garlic rapini, and mozzarella on a white base.

  Starters:

  • Arancini ($3.75 each, $6.50 for 2) – Golden-fried rice balls filled with buttered rice and mozzarella.

  • Revolver Chicken Wings ($14.99 for 10 pcs) – Available in classic or truffle parm flavors.

  Desserts:

  • Kit Kat Tiramisu ($6.99) – A modern twist on a classic.

  • Biscoff Cookie Cheesecake ($7.99) – Rich, creamy, and topped with cookie crumble.

The Damage: Pizza prices start at $19 for a 12” Margherita and go up to $30 for their larger, more elaborate creations. Add-ons like sesame crust (+$3) and homemade dips (+$2.25) are worth it for the experience.

What’s the Vibe? Minimalist and modern with a touch of warmth, Revolver’s St. Clair location is where industrial meets cozy. The open-concept kitchen steals the show, letting diners catch every moment of pizza-making magic. It’s a neighbourhood pizza joint that feels like home, with enough buzz to make every visit feel special. Perfect for a quick slice or a casual dinner with friends.

The Reality Check: Customers rave about the fresh ingredients and chewy yet crispy crust. Dining in? Expect quick service. Signature items like the Pistachio Bianca and Salumi Pizza have been consistent standouts, while the arancini and hot honey dip get extra praise.

Worth It? For fans of wood-fired pies and inventive toppings, Revolver Pizza is a must-try. Their high-quality ingredients and unique crust style set them apart in Toronto's crowded pizza scene. Whether you're grabbing a slice on the go or indulging in a full 18” pie, this spot delivers.
