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 $50. What I got wasn’t worth half that. I don’t do pizza chains because what they sell isn’t pizza, it’s sauce and cheese on cardboard. But after today’s experience with Lorenzo’s, I think I could have gotten a better pizza at Little Caesars or Papa John’s. I don’t know if they hired a new cook or if the place is under new management but quite frankly, I don’t care. I’m not taking another chance. I’ll be ordering my pizza elsewhere from now on. And that’s too bad…because when you lose one longtime customer who recommends your place to everyone who asks, you lose a lot more. Do better, Lorenzo’s.
I've never walked into a Lorenzo's before but I've had the pizza at hockey parties. I've always been impressed with the food and wanted to try it again for old time's sake. Sam was extremely friendly, personable and professional. He treated me like family. I will definitely be back here again because I was treated like a friend instead of just a number.
The pizza used to be good and I have ordered from here way more often then I should. Something happened over the years. The crust is kind of chewy and kind of reminds me of the pizza crust disks you buy frozen in the grocery store and the cheese quality has plummeted. You can get better for half the price at one of the big chains. The price is insane! Also, they cannot follow instructions. Seriously, plastic container on a hot pizza... its disgusting. This is why I put don't put it on the pizza for that item. The only savings grace here is that now I won't feel as guilty for not eating that half of this bad pizza I cannot justify spending 35$ after delivery tip for this ever again. And you should not as well, dear reader So long Lorenzo
Not sure what happened - this pizza used to be so good, but the last two orders we made have been hard to eat as they were so tasteless and the cheese and crust were so heavy but not flavourful. Also - it seems like no salt was used in making the pizza.
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.
