Food is good something a little different to try in the town of Ottawa which is good but the thing that keeps me coming back is the staff I haven't had a bad experience at all and that is very important. The place can be a little crowded but is always clean, good spot for a good date night.
Everything was 5 star. Pizzas, and ingredients put together and have such an amazing taste. Plus, the drinks .. top notch!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and would enthusiastically return. Despite being shorthanded, the staff was happy and as helpful as they could be with all the patrons. The pizzas are delicious, especially the crust. I could eat that on its own. My wife is more adventurous and tried their Mais pizza, which after adding lime juice, *was* actually tasty! For dessert, we enjoyed their nutella, graham cracker, ricotta cheese, and marshmallow calzone. The surprising factor is that they use their pizza crust, which means, it's a HUGE dessert for two people, haha!
Terrific food great beer and friendly staff. Pizza was delicious and salad was superior
I find this true pizza place in Ottawa was a really treat. The service was excellent and prices were reasonable.
Ryleigh was amazing! This is a very neat space. Love the decor and what they have done with the place. First time here and we were very pleased overall. Lots of interesting pizzas and Italian appetizers. Definitely try the truffle buratta. It is a fun presentation and very tasty soft cheese round with olives. They gave us complimentary bread and it was nice to spread the cheese on the bread. The margherita pizza is outstanding. Perfectly cooked and just the right amount of quality ingredients. Would definitely come back here for another pizza. They were out of Buffalo mozzarella so will try one with that next time.
We stopped in here late night and they were already closing up but they were very gracious and let us order a couple of pizzas and wow, we couldn't wait to get back, which we did tonite! We came earlier so we could take our time and it was such a treat! Their bread basket was heavenly, and the popovers were to die for. The fish mozzarella on the burrata and all the little enhancing pieces of veggies, pesto, balsamic reduction, olives, prosciutto and EVO olive oil was a masterpiece. The Margherita pizza and Pistachio pizza were complimentary to each other. We shared a couple of slivers and took the rest home.
Some darn good pizza. If you are looking for fast food (Pizza Hut) type stuff keep on moving. But if you want some good toppings and some delicious sauce and you are over the age of 12 (my son's age) this is great !! They have LugWrench Lager (#qrock100.7) which is darn good. #southlandfreak. Started off with eggs in purgatory. I don't know what the puffy bread things were but OMG they were so dang good !! It was such a great start. Then we got a "sausage and mushroom" and a "olive and egg" pizza. Both were phenomenal!! On to dessert. We got the lemon cake. Which was cut in bite size pieces perfect for sharing. I wouldn't bring my kids here. But they don't like fancy pizzas. My husband and I would be back here for a date night hands down. Oh and they have an up draft beer system. So if you save 10 beer magnets you get a free dessert ! What a fun concept !! Over all it was great. Thanks for a delicious meal and we will be back !!
I've been waiting to go here for awhile and am SO glad I finally got a chance. The gluten free pizza here is superb!! They make it in house- it's chewy and crisp and delightful. I've been gluten free almost four years and it's nearly the best I've had. Take note, I'm not celiac, just intolerant so I didn't ask about CC precautions in the oven. My husband had a regular pizza that he said was very good. Service was excellent, and I appreciated that they checked the wine I ordered and popped a new bottle before serving it. Will definitely be back!
