One of the best pizzas I've had in my life! It's so good. The build your own pasta is also amazing. Ambience is also a 10/10 and service was great!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matador Pizza is outstanding. Thick, chewy crust, generous toppings, and rich sauce — true old-school pizza. It instantly reminded me of Colonnade Pizza (and if you know, you know ?). Hard to find this style done right outside Ottawa, but Matador absolutely delivers. Spot-on and iconic. ? Thank you so much! Deb
About UsOriginal founder, George Tsares, knew back in 1976, that he wanted to make a great pizza for the under-serviced community of Varsity. He knew that his Greek-style pizza crust would be a hit, but he didnt have a name or location for his soon to be famous pizzeria.

Eventually his search led to our location in what is now the far end of the dining room. He walked in and was struck by the old, white stucco arches along the original walls. He said he felt like he was in a bullfighter’s ring in Spain…Ole! The name ‘Matador’ was born.

For the next 35 years, George continued to build the Matador Pizza brand which has become a staple in the Northwest and specifically in the great community of Varsity.
