Toronto Life
Oct 2023 · 3,200-word feature

"The best Neapolitan you'll find between Hamilton and Montréal. That oven, that dough, that crust-char. The Pizza della Casa with an Aglianico is a very good way to spend a Tuesday evening."

— Chris Johns, "The Slow-Burn Pizzaiolo of College Street"

The Globe & Mail
Mar 2024 · restaurant review · ★★★★½

"Varese is serious about his oven and serious about his fiordilatte. The room is small and unshowy. The bill comes out reasonable. The pies come out right."

— Joanne Kates, Food Review · Saturday Focus

NOW Magazine
Jun 2024 · Best of Toronto 2024

"Best Pizza in the City, runner-up. Boston Piizze lost to a deeply unfair Queen-West newcomer with a full PR team. Do not let the rankings fool you — this is the shop the NOW food team eats at when we're not working."

BlogTO
Jun 2024 · best-of list

"Toronto's pizza scene has never been this strong and Boston Piizze is currently the heavyweight. Book ahead for Friday nights — walk-in waits run to 45 minutes and the wait is worth it."

CityBites
Sep 2023 · interview

"How a Bay Street analyst ended up as the city's most-obsessive pizzaiolo — our interview with Luca Varese on apprenticeship, quitting well, and why there will never be a second location."

Eater Montréal
Feb 2025 · cross-border feature

"If you're going to Toronto just for pizza — and we would never judge — Boston Piizze and Pizzeria Libretto are the two non-negotiable stops. The bianca at Boston Piizze is a quiet masterpiece."

The Walrus
Nov 2024 · food essay

"I could write 3,000 words about the Pizza della Casa, and after this essay, I basically have. Go. Eat. Fiordilatte is always worth it."

Condé Nast Traveller (UK)
Apr 2024 · Toronto city guide

"One of 12 things to do in Toronto. Plan the rest of your evening around this dinner reservation."
