If you’re a pizza lover in Toronto looking for your next great food adventure, we found a spot that’s flipping the dough game on its head—and it’s only a couple of hours away. Nestled in Ontario’s dreamiest little town, Elora, Tony’s Sourdough Pizzeria (45 Mill Street W, Elora) has officially opened and, quite literally, hasn’t had a single leftover slice since. It’s that good.
Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or just need a reason to road trip for your next date, here’s why Tony’s is the hottest pie in the province right now.
only 100 pizzas a day!!!
Yes, you read that right. Tony only makes 100 pizzas a day, and that’s it. That means once they’re gone—they’re gone. It’s a daily sell-out situation, and the hype is very, very real. Why so limited? Because every single pie is hand-crafted, wood fired in a specialty-imported Pavesi oven from Italy, and built on perfected sourdough that takes time, patience, and major skill.
It’s Open daily until sold out (get there early!) and you can follow @tonyssourdough on Instagram for daily drops and updates; you’ll want to stay in the loop here.
global chef, local pizza
Tony Bish isn’t your average pizzaiolo. He’s a world-travelled fine dining chef who’s cooked for the Royal Family of Thailand, competed on The Next Iron Chef, judged Master Chef, and trained in kitchens across Bangkok, Hong Kong, Brisbane, New York, and Phuket.
Now, he’s set up shop in the heart of Ontario’s gem, Elora, inside the charming historic Elora Mews.
Tony brings with him more than just credentials; he brings a love for process, family, and a dough that’s been passed down for generations. His sourdough starter recipe was born from his grandma’s kitchen and perfected over years of obsession, literally rolling 100 dough balls a day to nail the method.
the menu is tight but mighty
There’s the classic Plain Red (yours for just $10), a game-changing Umami pie with smoked local mushrooms and thyme, and the showstopper Farmboi, featuring veal sausage, poached egg, smoked ricotta, roasted fennel, potato, and a drizzle of dill oil.
There’s also a single, perfectly executed meatball on the menu, called The Don, because of course it is.
And to finish? A top-shelf tiramisu that guests are already raving about.
Drinks-wise, Tony’s has a small lineup of crafted cocktails and spirit-free options that pair perfectly with your pie of choice.
the ultimate pizza date trip
Elora has long been known as Ontario’s prettiest village, and between its historic downtown, scenic gorge, and growing culinary scene, it’s a perfect destination for a cute weekend escape or a spontaneous summer road trip.
Tony’s Sourdough Pizzeria fits right into the town’s storybook charm while adding a big slice of global flair.
And if you needed another reason to visit, Elora also just welcomed The Ayrshire Hotel, a brand new boutique stay inside Canada’s oldest flatiron building.
Pizza and a pretty place to crash? Sounds like the weekend plans just planned themselves.
