St. Clair West is getting another scoop of something special. Mizzica, the award-winning Italian-style gelateria that has drawn long lines at its original Queen and John location, is opening its third Toronto shop at 1080 St. Clair Avenue West in Regal Heights Village. The signage is already up, but no official opening date has been announced yet, so this one is officially in coming soon territory.
What makes it special
Mizzica has earned its reputation the hard way: one scoop at a time. The gelateria’s Italian-style gelato has won awards and built a loyal following, and the original Queen and John location became famous for its long queues on warm evenings. That kind of organic, word-of-mouth success is hard to fake, and it is exactly why each new opening lands as genuine neighbourhood news rather than just another storefront.
The brand’s second location on Yonge Street opened in 2024 and extended the footprint uptown. Now St. Clair West is next. Regal Heights Village is the kind of strip that rewards a destination shop like this: walkable, full of independent businesses, and already a draw for locals who browse on foot. A gelateria here is not competing with the dessert chains of the downtown core; it is settling into a neighbourhood rhythm.
What to expect
Expect the same Italian-style gelato program that made the first two shops famous. While the specific opening-day lineup has not been announced, Mizzica’s identity is built on classic Italian gelato made properly, and the third location is expected to follow the same playbook: a case of rotating flavours, served in cups and cones, with the same quality that built the lines at Queen and John.
What we do not know yet is the opening date. The signage is up at 1080 St. Clair Avenue West, which usually means the countdown has begun, but the official announcement has not landed. If the pattern of the previous openings holds, expect news to come through the brand’s own channels first.
For Regal Heights Village, this is a meaningful addition. The strip has a strong cafe and independent retail culture, and a destination gelateria gives evening strollers a reason to linger. Summer on St. Clair is about to get a little sweeter.
Practical details
Mizzica’s third Toronto location is at 1080 St. Clair Avenue West in Regal Heights Village. Signage is installed, but no grand opening date has been confirmed. This article will be updated when the official opening date is announced.
The first location is at Queen and John (known for its long lines), and the second location opened on Yonge Street in 2024. The St. Clair West news was reported by What Now Toronto on October 16, 2026, citing local blogTO reports.
Who it is for
This is for St. Clair West locals who have been watching the signage go up with anticipation, for Mizzica fans who make the trip to Queen and John and are ready for a closer option, and for anyone who plans their summer evenings around dessert. If you have never been, start with a small cup of the classics and work your way through the case. If you are already a fan, Regal Heights Village just earned a spot on your map.
