Owner Marco Grande, who brings a butcher background to the pizza business, confirmed the news over the phone. The family-run establishment, which has been operating in New Jersey since 2015, is expected to open its Toronto location on The Queensway in late December. This timing is perfect for those looking to enjoy a slice of home during the colder months.

Local pizza enthusiasts will be thrilled with the addition of 16-inch pies, Sicilian deep-dish slabs, and quick lunch slices. Regulars from New Jersey can look forward to the same favorites, including the Vodka Pepperoni and the Marco Special. These classic offerings are sure to satisfy the cravings of expats and digital nomads alike, providing a taste of home in the heart of Toronto.

For expats and digital nomads looking for a taste of home, this is a must-try. Don’t miss out on the first taste of pizza from a place that has already earned its stripes in the pizza world. With the opening date set for late December, now is the time to start planning your visits to Pizza Nostra. Whether you're a seasoned pizza lover or just looking for a new spot to explore, this opening is definitely worth the wait.
