About Pizza Depot

Our journey to become Canada's favorite pizza destination

Pizza Depot Founders

Our Story

Pizza Depot began in 1995 when two Canadian culinary school graduates, Michael Thompson and Sarah Williams, decided to create a pizza experience that truly celebrated Canadian ingredients and flavors.

Starting with a single location in Toronto, we've grown to over 50 locations across Canada, while maintaining our commitment to quality ingredients and authentic recipes that reflect Canada's diverse culinary landscape.

From our signature maple bacon pizza to our poutine-inspired creations, we've been innovating Canadian pizza for over 25 years, combining traditional techniques with local flavors.
