Search for halal pizza Toronto and you'll see plenty of options — but a small handful of restaurants consistently come up in word-of-mouth recommendations from East York to Scarborough. Ajwa Pizza n Grill is one of them. Here are the five concrete reasons locals keep coming back, ranked by how often they show up in our conversations with regulars.
1. Sixteen specialty pizzas, all halal
Most halal pizza spots in Toronto offer one or two "halal" pizzas alongside a non-halal menu. Ajwa is fully halal, with 16 chef-curated specialty pizzas — Canadian, Meat Lover, Tandoori, Butter Chicken, Lahori, Philly Cheese Steak, Spicy Supreme, and more — across four sizes (Medium, Large, X-Large, Party). The variety alone makes us a top pick for halal pizza in Toronto.
2. Thorncliffe Park location with delivery to East York
Located at 25 Overlea Blvd in Thorncliffe Park, Ajwa is right at the crossroads of East York, Leaside, Don Mills, and Pape Village. We deliver across the area through Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Skip The Dishes — typically 30–45 minutes door-to-door. For walk-in customers, the location is a 5-minute drive from the DVP and 10 minutes from Pape Station.
3. Genuinely affordable combos
Ajwa's combo pricing is built around big groups. Combo 8 — two Party-size pizzas with 3 toppings, 2 dips, and 36 wings — is $83.99, which works out to under $10 per person for a group of 9. Wingless deals start at $28.99. Walk-in specials run $12.99 for a Medium with 1 topping and 1 dip. Read more about our pizza + wings combos.
4. Open until midnight (1 AM weekends)
Halal pizza Toronto-wide tends to close early. Ajwa stays open until midnight on weekdays and 1 AM Friday and Saturday — which is why we're a regular order for shift workers, late-night studiers, and anyone who realized at 11 PM they hadn't eaten yet.
5. Quality stays consistent
The hardest part of running a busy pizza shop isn't opening — it's staying consistent across hundreds of orders a day. Ajwa's reviews on Google and Yelp keep returning to the same words: fresh, hot, halal, friendly. Years in, the dough still rises the same way it did year one.
