About Bay 101

Thin-crust pizzas dusted in semolina and rich handmade pastas turn this breezy Bay Street corner into an effortless Italian stopover. Mornings kick off with brisk espresso runs and panini, but the room hits its stride at twilight. Patrons watching the kitchen line assemble pies capped with San Daniele prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella quickly grasp the house rhythm. Tables stay stocked with extra virgin olive oil, chilli flakes, and parmesan for dipping blistered crusts—a small touch that keeps locals returning for late tiramisu.

  • Crust-Dipping Setup: Tables come stocked with extra virgin olive oil, parmesan, and chilli oil so diners can dip their crusts down to the last bite.
  • Open Kitchen Line: Chefs toss dough and plate handmade pastas in an open layout set directly alongside the tables.
  • Day-to-Night Rhythm: Morning routines center on precise espresso pulls, flaky pastries, and fresh lunch panini before evening pizza service starts.

Why Dine at Bay 101

Why guests choose Bay 101 for authentic Italian dining, welcoming neighborhood hospitality, and daily cafe rituals.

  • Authentic Italian Ingredients & Thin-Crust Pizza

    Pizzas and pastas are crafted following traditional recipes with imported elements like San Daniele prosciutto, raw buffalo mozzarella, and semolina-dusted dough.

    Particular stand outs the proscuitto pizza, with generous San Daniele, raw buffalo mozzarella and rucola (rocket) and the pork sausage with smears of truffle paste

  • Dedicated Tabletop Dipping & Finishing Seasonings

    Tables feature complimentary extra virgin olive oil, parmesan, chilli oil, and chilli flakes so patrons can dip their crusts and tailor seasoning to taste.

    The best part that makes the experience different from any other pizza restaurant is the additional toppings they offer i.e parmesan, chilli oil and chilli flakes.

  • Pappardelle Bolognese

    Benny beef cheek, pappardelle bolognese and the fried flathead & chips (kids main). All dishes were reasonably portioned, tasty and priced well.
