Review: This was a good example of Neapolitan-style pizza. The dough was chewy with nice pops of char on the outer edge. The sauce was pretty good. The cheese was of good quality and the cup pepperoni was nicely salty. Pro-Tip: The in-house hot sauce is excellent on this. Rating: 8.2/10

Pizzeria Alonzo Plus – Pizza
Review: This was definitely in the vein of Ottawa-style pizza, though not quite as thick. The crust had a more cracker-like texture than I expected. The toppings were of reasonably good quality and plentiful. The sauce was quite bland. Rating: 6.6/10
Il Vicolo – Pizza
Review: This looked like a Neapolitan-style pizza but it was actually quite different. The crust was a little bit thicker and a little less chewy than a typical Neapolitan pizza. The toppings were of good quality with the cheese being a little salty. The sauce tasted a little more like tomato paste, but not in …
Le Retro – Pizza
Review: This was clearly not their specialty, but I’ve certainly had worse. This tasted like a middle of the road frozen pizza. I will say that I appreciated the pepperoni being on top of the cheese. Rating: 5.5/10
Crust and Crate – Pizza
Review: The crust was nicely crisp. I would have liked a little more char on it. The sauce was not particularly flavourful, but it wasn’t off-putting at all. The other topping were all of reasonably high quality. Rating: 7.5/10
Patio Vidal – Pizza
Review: The pizza thick and heavy but was deceptively light, especially the puffy crust, though the base was a little dense. The sauce was pleasantly sweeter than I expected. The toppings were under the cheese, which I don’t normally love, but benefited this pizza, because the cheese crisped up really well. This is not a …
Zaytoun Pizza – Pizza
Review: This was a bit of a surprise. While the pizza presented as an Ottawa-style pizza, it had quite a few distinguishing factors that separated it from most others. The first was that the majority of the toppings were on top of the cheese. I typically get sausage and onions, but they do not carry …
Bella Vista Restaurant – Pizza
Review: This pizza was a bit of a conundrum. It looked quite different from most Ottawa-style pizzas, but the taste was quite similar, mostly based on the very familiar sauce. The crust in the centre of the pizza was quite thick, but the outer edge was thin and crispy. Most of the toppings were under …
Super Duper Pizza – Pizza
Review: This pizza has a reputation for being generous with toppings and I have no reason to doubt that reputation. Most of the toppings for my pizza were actually under the generous cheese layer. This pizza was very much Ottawa-style with the aforementioned traits along with a doughy crust and familiarly spiced sauce. Stylistically, this …
Made in Chicago (Deep Dish) – Pizza
Review: This had a lot of sweet pizza sauce with large chunks of tomato. There was a thick layer of cheese at the base that gave a really nice, salty punch. The sausage was of good quality and in large chunks. The crust was crispy and cracker-like with a butter cookie-type sweetness. Rating: 8.0/10
