DESCENDANT PIZZA

Leslieville brings together flavor and identity in an iconic Detroit-style pizza.


Located in Leslieville, one of Toronto’s most charming and creative neighborhoods, Descendant is known for its rectangular pizzas with a tall crust that’s light on the inside and perfectly crisp around the edges. Crafted artisanally with long fermentation and premium ingredients, the menu balances classic flavors with bolder combinations, from traditional pepperoni to standout creations featuring truffle and spices. The result is a complete experience where flavor takes center stage and every visit feels like a great discovery.

Recognition that goes beyond the counter and puts the pizza in the spotlight


Descendant Detroit Style Pizza received first place at the National Pizza Competition, held during the Restaurants Canada Show in April 2024, in the Creative Pizza category.


 The award recognized the originality of its recipes, technical mastery, and the creativity applied to every pizza, placing the restaurant among the best in the country.
