The Pizza Nova story began in 1963 when a young Italian family opened the very rst Pizza Nova restaurant. Still family-owned, we have helped hundreds of families open and operate our 145+ locations across Ontario and specialize in hand-tossed, Artisan-style pizzas that are complemented by an extensive menu of proven favourites. Our 60+ years of success continues as a direct result of our uncompromising commitment to providing quality ingredients and product innovation. In 2015 we became the rst Canadian pizza company to introduce pepperoni sourced from beef and pork raised without the use of antibiotics or added hormones. We have since expanded our ‘Raised Without Antibiotics’ pro le to include bacon, chicken wings, chicken pollini, grilled chicken, and smoked ham. In 2021, we introduced the rst pea protein-based pepperoni as a plant-based alternative to our diverse menu, as well as plant-based chick’n bites, thus further expanding our reach to include vegans, vegetarians and exitarians alike. We provide comprehensive training, easy ordering from our HAACP approved commissary, location identi cation & design, operations support and innovative marketing initiatives that bring customers through your door. Pizza Nova is the Of cial Pizza of the Toronto Blue Jays™, Toronto International Film Festival, and the CNE.
