The shop was recently featured in Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, which, similar to other Law & Order spin-offs, is a police procedural drama series that follows a squad of detectives who investigate high-profile crimes in Toronto, with some episodes inspired by real headlines out of the city. In the scene, Detective Sergeant Frankie Bateman (Kathleen Munroe) and Detective Sergeant Henry Graff (Aden Young) stop by the shop to ask about a Hawaiian pizza order placed during a specific time window. "First off, Badiali doesn't have Hawaiian pizza," one person noted, while another chimed in, writing, "The first crime was not ordering a vodka pizza from Badiali." The exterior shot of the constantly busy pizza shop, which was curiously devoid of a line, also raised some eyebrows. Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, which debuted on Feb. 22, 2024, and is currently in its second season, has already been renewed for season three.
