Our Story
16 inches of pure Toronto taste.
As Toronto's first Somali-owned pizzeria, we didn't want to open just another pizza shop. The city has plenty of those. We wanted to build the pizza we couldn't find: a massive, 100% Halal 16-inch NYC-style pie that doesn't compromise on quality, sold at a fair price without hidden fees.
The 6-Month Test
Before we ever sold a single slice, we spent 6 months in our test kitchen. We perfected our thin, foldable NYC-style dough, tweaked hydration levels, sourced the right cup-and-char pepperoni, and found the perfect blend of premium mozzarella.
Then, we invited 100+ of our neighbors to try it. We didn't ask for fake reviews. We asked for brutal honesty.
"97% of our taste-testers said they would order again. That's when we knew we were ready."
Our Halal Commitment
100% Halal Certified
Being Toronto's first Somali-owned pizzeria means uncompromising standards. We operate a strictly 100% Halal kitchen so you can order with absolute peace of mind.
- ✦Premium Hand-Slaughtered Meats: All our pepperoni, beef, and chicken toppings are sourced exclusively from certified hand-slaughtered Halal suppliers.
- ✦Zero Cross-Contamination: There is absolutely no pork or alcohol allowed on our premises. Ever.
- ✦Clean Ingredients: Our dough, signature sauces, and premium cheeses are completely free from animal-derived rennet and alcohol-based flavorings.
No Gimmicks
You won't find coupons, "free" delivery that's actually baked into the price, or crazy discounts here. We price our pizzas fairly from the start. We use Uber Eats and DoorDash because they are the best at getting hot food to your door quickly, and we let them handle the delivery fees transparently.
Authentic NYC-style hand-stretched dough. Premium ingredients. Massive 16" pies. That's Macaan Pizzeria.
