In 2021, Ryan opened Pizzeria Badiali, a neighborhood slice shop in Toronto’s vibrant west end that quickly gained acclaim. At Badiali, Ryan and his team deliver a refined yet nostalgic approach to pizza by the slice, blending the bold, comforting spirit of New York-style classics with the finesse of Italian-inspired specialty pies.

Their dedication to quality ingredients, inventive flavor combinations, and technique has not only raised the bar for slice shops across the city — it’s helped redefine what a great slice can be. Pizzeria Badiali is more than a local favorite; it’s a creative force in Toronto’s evolving pizza scene.
