I finally stopped by today to grab something from here, and oh my was I blown away by the kindness of the staff and the taste of the food! I asked for a recommendation since it was my first time visiting, and (I assume) one of the owners was super helpful guiding me through most popular options. Not only that, but I ended up getting a few samples on the house, which made my day! I haven't come across such a welcoming and communal attitude in a very long time. Not only that, but the food turned out to be absolutely fantastic! Will definitely be coming back, and I cannot hype this place up enough now. Exceptional service and high quality products in one spot!
Needed a snack so randomly searched up fast food near my location. This came up and I’d way rather support a one off shop than a chain. First time trying pastizzi (cheese + meat w peas), very tasty, flaky crust. Julius tried to give me them for free but naw, want to support places like this not the other way around
We want to thank you so much for the best Maltese Pastizzie, Qassatat and cookies. MFP just catered my beloved mother-in-law’s funeral reception and they did an amazing job, everything was fresh and tasty. They were the talk of gathering and good food just makes everyone smile, which is what we all needed.
This place used to be the best place in Toronto to buy pastizzi. Now, it's 23.50 to get a dozen cooked and it's mostly dough. Hardly any grease. Let's face the fact that pastizzi will never be as it was before. In Canada at least. It was a sad day.
Absolutely delicious pastizzi, with crumbly and flaky pastry. Both the cheese and meat filled are very, very tasty. A bit daunting walking in, but the staff helped me as I tried to muddle through what I wanted (I had pastizzi before, but didn't know the name and they aren't on display). It's clearly an older place, but I'm thankful these establishments still exist. A real treat.
I was there last summer and the interior of the restaurant was shabby and did not look clean. The chef was unkempt and I was almost afraid to consume the dish I had ordered. I wonder if this establishment will survive another season.
The Wyck Recommendation: Malta’s Finest Pastries Rating: 4.5/5 Eat One Now, Freeze Twelve: Malta’s Finest Ritual Intro Scene Step inside and it’s like someone hit pause in 1978. A tiny shop, the hum of an old fridge, and that same old gentleman behind the counter who’s probably been here longer than my questionable diet. The air smells like butter, peas, and Maltese grandma love with a whisper of actual rabbit if you dare. What Was Ordered A hot ricotta pastizzi (flaky, steaming, zero regrets) A pea pastizzi (the sleeper hit, peppery and nostalgic) Nutella pastizzi (dessert in pastry form, don’t skip it) Qassatats (like a pastizzi’s chubbier cousin, equally worth hoarding) Rabbit dinner (yes, actual rabbit, like your great-aunt would braise for Sunday) A dozen frozen pastizzi to hoard like it’s the end times Service Commentary Is he quick? No. Is he friendly? Extremely. He’ll bag your dozen with the same care your mom used for your kindergarten lunches. Expect old-school, card-in-hand, don’t-rush-me energy and honestly, bless him for it. Vibe Check No vibe other than ‘you’re here for the pastries, pal.’ Usually a couple of older Maltese expats chatting. It feels like a corner of Valletta wedged into Toronto and it stays stubbornly authentic. The Space Itself Tiny. Clean. A glass case that holds flaky gold. Nothing fancy. Linoleum floors, a whiff of fryer oil, and a soft hum that says “We don’t do renovations here, friend.” About the Neighborhood Parked on a bland East York strip. Blink and you’ll miss it. Good luck with parking, street spots are your best bet. Bring your card and your appetite. Hits & Misses ✓ Ricotta pastizzi: Hot, crispy, perfect ✓ Pea pastizzi: Underrated, hearty, peppery joy ✓ Nutella pastizzi: Sweet flaky bliss ✓ Qassatats: Chubby, savory pastries that deserve freezer space too ✓ Rabbit dinner: Old-world comfort, full send Final Verdict Some places age like a fine wine. This one ages like a deep freezer full of pastizzi. Zero frills, infinite comfort. If you know, you know. And if you don’t? Better start thawing. Rating: 4.5/5 Perfect For Hoarding flaky carbs for the winter Time-traveling to the Mediterranean without crying over airfare
