We provide enough dough, tomato sauce, and cheese for a kid's-sized pizza at a cost of $2.00. You're welcome to bring other toppings from home, and you can forage for herbs and cherry tomatoes from the community garden. We also sell juice boxes and chocolate chip cookies for 50 cents each, and organic, fairly traded coffee for $1.50 a cup. This is a very nice way to meet your neighbour...
From the park staff: The purpose of Dufferin Park's pizza days is to provide a place for kids and adults in the neighbourhood to meet each other, have a good time, and share a healthy and affordable lunch outside in the park.
Generally, we discourage groups of twelve or more from coming to the drop-in pizza day hours, both because it is difficult to plan for and accommodate such numbers of people, and because pizza days were never intended to be a party service.
The staff are willing to accommodate larger groups under certain circumstances, however. If you call a week or two ahead of time, (416.392.0913) we can usually set up early or stay late on a regular pizza day:
Sundays 11:30-1 PM or 3-4 PM |

There are additional costs with such arrangements, due to the longer staff hours and so on. We charge an additional $36.00 for groups up to forty on top of the individual pizza costs. That means if you make 30 pizzas it will cost you $60 for materials, plus the $36 surcharge for a total of $96.
If the times listed above don't work for your group, we can sometimes make other arrangements, but of course, when staff are scheduled for a specific event (instead of just staying an extra hour or two) costs are higher than those listed above.
