Oshawa has a new spot for pizza lovers to check out with the recent opening of Checkers Pizza at 1295 Ritson Rd. N., in the Riocan Five Points Plaza. The pizza shop has taken over the space previously occupied by Pizza Salvatoré, a Quebec-based pizzeria that had opened in Oshawa in May 2024 but closed less than two years later. The location, which is across from a Metro grocery store and next to Rajdhani Sweets, now offers residents a new pizza experience with a focus on value-driven menu options.
Checkers Pizza promises a customizable pizza experience, with a wide variety of toppings such as pepperoni, Italian sausage, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, and feta. The pizzeria also offers several specialty pizzas, including The Hot Lap, a spicy combination of pepperoni, jalapeños, Italian sausage, and a hot honey drizzle; The Checker’s Supreme, which includes pepperoni, sausage, vegetables, and olives; and the BBQ Racer, which is made with BBQ chicken and red onions.
In addition to pizzas, Checkers Pizza offers a range of appetizers and sides including mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, chicken wings, garlic knots, onion rings, and fries. For dessert, you can enjoy tiramisu or giant cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth.
The pizzeria is open daily starting at 11 a.m., with extended late-night hours on Fridays and Saturdays, staying open until 3 a.m., making it an ideal choice for those craving pizza during late-night hours.
