Ordered Artichoke Feta Olives Pizza and Garlic Bread with Cheese. The pizza was fully loaded but the garlic bread was missing garlic flavour. Overall I liked it.

As soon as I walked in I was welcomed with a warm welcome. Such friendly people had an amazing time even when waiting. Ordered a chef's special and it was phenomenal, the wait time wasn’t long, and a good pizza is always made with happiness, a joyful environment and time, they definitely went above all my expectations. I highly recommend this place when you’re hungry and want an enjoyable conversation.

What happened?!?
Lorenzo’s has been my go to place since I moved to the area 5 years ago. I’ve tried pretty much all the pizza joints within a 5km radius of my place. Some were good and others, not so much. Lorenzo’s was hands down the best in the area except maybe for Tangerine on Cummings where the pizza is AMAZING, but oh sooo expensive.
I hadn’t ordered pizza for a while, so I decided to do that today. I ordered my usual medium Lorenzo’s Special (mushrooms, olives, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, and bacon), with extra cheese. I was sure the Lorenzo’s Special had pepperoni on it as well, but apparently not. A special with no pepperoni? Since when? I’ve been ordering the same pizza for 5 years, and I only now noticed there’s no pepperoni on it? Strange.
Pepperoni aside, to say that I was disappointed is an understatement. The crust was chewy and a little underbaked, and the top was overbaked and too brown. I expect some browning, but not so much that it turns the cheese into hard rubber. How does that even happen? The green peppers were sliced so thinly that they just about dissolved as soon as I took a bite, the tomatoes were non-existent and I don’t recall even tasting any olives.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, the cheese…the cheese. I ordered extra cheese and what I got looked like less than regular cheese. I have never gotten a pizza from Lorenzo’s or any place else in the area that was as thin as this one. A chef’s special with extra cheese should NOT be barely 1cm thick. But this one WAS.
I gave Lorenzo’s another chance last year when my pizza arrived all bent out of shape and stuck to the top of the box. I blame the delivery driver for that and it never happened again, so I kept ordering from them. Today was the last time. Never again. Before tax and tip, I paid $38 for a medium pizza, which is already a lot to begin with. With tax and tip, that pizza cost me almost $50. What I got wasn’t worth half that. I don’t do pizza chains because what they sell isn’t pizza, it’s sauce and cheese on cardboard. But after today’s experience with Lorenzo’s, I think I could have gotten a better pizza at Little Caesars or Papa John’s.
I don’t know if they hired a new cook or if the place is under new management but quite frankly, I don’t care. I’m not taking another chance. I’ll be ordering my pizza elsewhere from now on. And that’s too bad…because when you lose one longtime customer who recommends your place to everyone who asks, you lose a lot more. Do better, Lorenzo’s.

I ordered from here on Skip and got the free small fries offer with my order. To my surprise, the fries were far from small, as I received a comically large bag full of fries. It's the little things like this, man... good stuff. And the pizza was killer too.

The salad was fresh and it was a generous portion, and there is a wide variety of sodas (including grape soda and coke zero).
It was an overall frustrating experience, we ordered delivery, when we opened it, the spaghetti dish had only one meatball. Then we went through the menu again and realized that the spaghetti dish we ordered had no meatballs at all, but we had chosen the option "Extra meatballs", which added further to our initial belief that there were meatballs in the dish.
