As unspecific as that answer may be, it truly is the answer. Head to the shores of Lake Ontario and there will be some pike around. Whether you catch them or not is dependent on seasonal habitat use, fish movement pattern, and your presentation that addresses the fish's mood at that moment. All of this is thus knowledge of the area and the fish.

Most of the Toronto shorelines can be productive at one time or another, from the most eastern end starting at Frenchman's Bay and Scarborough Bluffs to downtown areas such as Ashbridge's Bay, Tommy Thompson Park, Toronto Islands and Habourfront to western end areas like Humber Bay Park East and West.

I think that's enough names dropped and enough areas to try.

Never any luck at Humber Bay Park East and West for me.

If you don't mind going further west, I always catch a few pike each year at Col. Samuel Smith Park in Etobicoke off the rocks by the marina.

This year I caught pike at Lakefront Promenade in Mississauga off the rocks near the boat launches.

I always use a silver hex (clear water) or fire tiger (murky water) coloured Gibbs Croc spoon.

Have you tried right in the harbour downtown or on the islands?

Yes, I've fished both. Fishing is better in the spring and in the fall. You will need to walk and cast a lot of shorelines for consistent success. Some days, I will walk from the ferry terminal to Ontario Place while fishing all the available areas. It take hours to cover that amount of water thoroughly.

Be aware that if there are boats at the marina, you cannot fish at the marina. Security guards will ask you to leave.
