Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Was curious as heard about Descendants and pass by it often. I found the topping a little goopy and the pepperonis more like you'd get at the supermarket vs. authentic artisan sausage. The crust was almost impossible to cut through. For $50 for a small...pizza and two cans of light beer it was a bit pricey for what it was and I think at that price you'd expect something well above average. My daughter and I like to go to Pizzana in West Hollywood and for about the same price you get a mind-blowing pizza. It's also not nearly as good as Badali's on the west side or actual high-end Detroit pizzerias. Very nice people however.More

Their pizzas are so filling! The small was enough to to fill up my partner and I. Went with the Electric Avenue which I was good. I typically don't like pineapple on my pizzas so I was pleasantly surprised that the flavor wasn't overpowering. Their...dips were a highlight with the meal: diablo was mild and had a nice sweetness to it, while the garlic parmesan also paired nicely. The music was a bit loud though on a Sunday morning...the heavy metal was blasting and could've been dialed down a bit.More

Wonderful deep dish pizza with excellent crust. The Daddy's favorite, the pepperoni and the Electric Avenue were all top notch. Fast service, nice, friendly folks.

The Cheese and the “DADDY’S FAVOURITE” (with Cheese Blend, Kothu Roti, Jerk Chicken, Mango Chutney, Curried Lime Aioli, Mama Lil’s Peppers, Green Onion, Fresh Cilantro) were some of the most delicious pizzas we have ever had anywhere. YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I looked for the best pizza in Toronto over a year ago. Descendant was the top rated. My wife and I went there for lunch and had to agree with the recommendation. For my birthday dinner this year I asked my wife to get a...Descendant pizza. It was a treat and an appreciated one during this pandemic. These trying times have done nothing to harm the quality of these pizzas.More

Thank you so much for the kind review.

This pizza does NOT disappoint! It is as good as it looks! We pre ordered a pizza for take out and were deciding between two different kinds, but eventually went with Homenaje. Later on when we went back to pick up the pizza, they said...since they were missing an ingredient for this pizza, they made us our second choice pizza (Truffi-Ghi) and gave it to us for free. What service and hospitality! We really appreciate it and little did they know - IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY. So thank you so much! BOTH pizzas were delicious and now I probably have enough for a week!More

One of the best pizzas I've ever had! Actually, the best I've had in Canada! The TRUFF-GHI was amazing and delicious. Decent prices for the portion. A large pizza easily satisfied three adults. I NEED to go back to this place and try more of...their pizzas!More
