Our Story

From a small family recipe to Canada's beloved pizza destination

Salvatorees Pizza began as a dream in the heart of Naples, where our founder Salvatore grew up learning the ancient art of pizza making from his grandmother. In 2015, he brought these authentic family recipes across the ocean to Canada, determined to share the true taste of Italy with his new community.

What started as a small pizzeria has grown into a beloved local institution, known for our commitment to authentic ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and the warmth of Italian hospitality. Every pizza we serve carries the legacy of generations of Italian pizza masters.

Today, we continue to honor our heritage while embracing our Canadian home, creating a unique fusion of Old World craftsmanship and New World innovation that keeps our customers coming back for more.
