The top 5 cheap pizza nights in Toronto

Toronto has a deep and long-standing love affair with pizza. The versatile, drool-worthy food has taken over our fair city, and even become a bit of a bougie thing in some cases. Pizza has grown far beyond the humble slice and entered the realm of gourmet munching; places like Libretto have morphed pizza into a treat as opposed to a convenience. There are, however, lots of cheap pizza nights going on in the city, returning slices to their universally accessible roots.

Here are 5 places offering special deals on pizza in Toronto.

Pizzeria Defina

Pizzeria Defina is Roncy's offering in the wood-fired pizza department. It doesn't quite stack up to the Terronis and the Librettos, but the pizza is solid. Thin, crispy crusts and perfect mozzarella make for a heavenly Margherita. They also like to mix it up with toppings like duck, pear and prosciutto. Every Monday, you can nab one of Defina's yummy pizzas for $15, pint included.

Picea 997

Picea 997 is the local pizzeria at Dovercourt and Dupont in Dovercourt Village, and they're kind enough to offer a sweet special on Saturdays. For $16, you can get a pint and a Margherita pizza. If you're really planning to enjoy your Saturday, you can upgrade the pint to a pitcher for an extra $4.

Pizzeria Libretto

Libretto does a family night at Evergreen Brick Works every Wednesday from 5:50 p.m. until 8 p.m. For a mere $3, you can get a slice of incredible pizza and a side salad made from local ingredients. Hands down, this is some of the best pizza in the city, and the deal isn't available at either of its two locations on the Danforth and Ossington, respectively.

Magic Oven

Magic Oven's Corktown location has an all you can eat pizza night every Wednesday for $14.95. Salad is included, too. Magic Oven's pizza is made from local, organic ingredients, and they serve beer and wine along the same lines. The one condition is that you have to finish everything on your plate before you go back for seconds. Dine til you drop on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.

Squirly's

Every Sunday night, you can get a pitcher and a pizza at Squirly's on Queen West for $19. The deal is as simple as it sounds, too—it includes any kind of pizza you want, and anything on tap. Pizza here is simple, with your classic veggies, pepperoni and cheese. They've got nine beers on tap to choose from, though, including picks from Amsterdam, Beau's, Mill St. and Stratford.
