Big News, Ontario! Defina Pizzeria’s Gourmet Frozen Pizzas Are Now Available on truLOCAL

We’ve got a piping hot announcement to make—truLOCAL Ontario just got a whole lot tastier! We’re beyond excited to welcome Defina Pizzeria to the truLOCAL family, bringing you restaurant-quality frozen pizzas made with premium, local ingredients. Starting this month, you’ll find three of Defina’s most popular pizzas available on the Ontario marketplace: the Pumba, Basil Pesto Chicken, and the ever-classic Pepperoni.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade your Friday night dinner, stock up for an easy weeknight meal, or just treat yourself to something special, Defina’s handcrafted pizzas bring the perfect combination of convenience and gourmet flavour right to your freezer.

Let’s slice into what makes these pizzas so special.

Meet Defina Pizzeria

If you’re from Toronto, chances are you’ve heard the buzz about Defina Pizzeria. Nestled in the heart of Roncesvalles, Defina has become a local favourite thanks to its wood-fired, artisanal pizzas made with a commitment to quality and craft. Every pie starts with handmade dough that’s fermented for 72 hours and cooked in a traditional wood-burning oven—just like in Naples.

Their frozen pizzas bring that same attention to detail to your home kitchen, without compromising on flavour or freshness. These aren’t your average frozen pizzas. We’re talking about thin, crispy crusts, premium toppings, and bold, unforgettable flavour combinations.

The Pumba: Rich, Bold, and Totally Unique

This isn’t your average pizza—it’s a gourmet experience. The Pumba Pizza is an absolute showstopper featuring a mouth-watering mix of robust plum tomato sauce, creamy fior di latte cheese, succulent wild boar meatballs, roasted mushrooms, caramelised shallots, garlic confit, and fragrant oregano, all atop a perfectly crispy crust.

It’s rich, bold, and totally crave-worthy—offering a depth of flavour that you just don’t find in your typical frozen pizza. Whether you’re looking to impress guests or treat yourself to something unforgettable, the Pumba delivers in every bite.

Basil Pesto Chicken: Fresh, Herby, and Full of Flavour

Next up is the Basil Pesto Chicken Pizza, which offers a lighter but no less satisfying option. Instead of tomato sauce, this pizza is built on a base of house-made basil pesto, giving it a herby, aromatic kick. It’s topped with tender grilled chicken, oven-dried tomatoes, and creamy fior di latte mozzarella, all sitting on a crisp, golden crust.

This is the kind of pizza that feels just as at home at a dinner party as it does during a solo streaming session—elegant, flavourful, and undeniably delicious.

The Classic Pepperoni: Elevated, Not Ordinary

Last but not least, the Pepperoni Pizza—a staple, done Defina-style. It features the essentials: tangy tomato sauce, gooey fior di latte mozzarella, and plenty of high-quality dry-cured pepperoni that crisps up beautifully in the oven. The difference is all in the details: fresh ingredients, a perfectly baked crust, and a balance of flavours that makes each bite better than the last.

Sometimes, you just want the classic—and this one seriously delivers.
