The decades-old Camarra Pizzeria expands with a new, takeout-oriented location

Camarra's Pizza dell'Ortolano

Camarra Pizzeria Ristorante, the Toronto landmark that opened its doors over 50 years ago, will be expanding in order to cater to its clientele’s busy lifestyle. Opening up at 8700 Dufferin Street, the new Camarra will be smaller, with only a few tables and chairs, and will focus on takeout food.

“We are looking more at home meal replacement,” says Emilia Valentini, who owns Camarra along with her mother and founder Elisa Valentini. “We are going to do takeout, but a bit more upscale.”

The new location will offer the same menu as the original, but with a few new dishes. The focus, of course, will still be around the trademark pizza.

Camarra’s second location is scheduled to open in March.
