    Lunch deal!
    Karen L.

    I had no idea this place even existed! It's a chain from Niagara?! Thin crust pizza cooked in a wood burning oven. Delicious! There are several pizzas to choose from, or you can create your own with a good variety of toppings. Fast and fresh. Tirth and his team made sure my order was just right. Excellent service. Spacious interior with seating both inside and out. Even though I didn't get to try their pasta, I'd definitely recommend this place for pizza in the University and Front Street area. It's so close to Union Station making it really convenient for downtown office workers, tourists, those attending concerts or sporting events, and of course condo dwellers alike!

    Classic penne with meatballs

    DoughBox just opened up in the heart of the financial district and specializes in pizza and pasta. They use a wood fired oven, and you can see and smell the wood all over the store - it was really unique and the woody aromas certainly hit my nose in the right spots. For my first visit, I was craving pasta and tried their classic penne with meatballs and it hit the spot - it was made to order so the pasta was perfectly cooked, the meatballs were juicy, and the sauce was the right amount of tang and sweet. Overall a great dish. For extra you can get their garlic bread which is basically half a pizza and made to order. Overall I enjoyed the freshness and quality of the ingredients, and I'm looking forward to coming back - I'm sure this will be a lunch staple in the neighbourhood!

    Pizza was fantastic. Service was also very courteous and friendly. Was also kinda cool hearing staff chat in French lol! At least that's what I figured it was, because you never hear that in Iowa. Great experience!

    Wild pepperoni pizza was delicious.

    We didn't know what to eat and Kiran helped us above our expectations. The pizza is very juicy, tasty and awesome. The dough is very thin and delicious. I wish I could live close to be there every week.

    Just had a simple pepperoni pizza for lunch. Excellent. Crispy, thin crust precisely as I like it. I'll be back for sure.

    Pizza is great, probably one of the best we had. It has a wooden flavor to it which makes it very tasty.

    Good food in very simple environment. It appears they do a large takeout business but they have a few tables

    We decided to check out this rather innocuous looking pizza spot near my husband's office one…read morenight, and we were happy with our experience. The room is small, and the service was friendly. We shared a Caesar salad to start, which was simple but good. We had the duck confit white pizza and the Iberian red pizza. They were both quite tasty, and I reheated them the next morning on the frying pan for breakfast! They had some decent wines to choose from as well. Overall, we were both impressed with the good simple pizza. I think we've both kind of reached a saturation point with pretentious pizza spots, so this was a nice find in the middle of the financial district.

    We were staying at a hotel nearby and picked this Italian restaurant within walking distance…read more It's a cozy small restaurant with a small bar area. The food overall was fantastic: Caesar Salad - 4/5 very good, with crispy prosciutto and shaved Parmesan. The dressing had a tangy kick but was on the lighter side. Spaghetti Seafood - 5/5 YUMMY! There were large tiger shrimp, clams, mussels, calamari, and salmon in a white wine tomato sauce. So good, loved the variety of seafood. One of better seafood pasta dishes I've had. Mushroom Mafalda - 5/5 HEAVEN! Mafalda pasta with four different mushrooms: cremini, oyster, portobello, and porcini. It's cooked in a truffle cream sauce and is a mushroom lover's dream! Absolutely delicious. The server was friendly but not attentive. She forgot a beer we ordered. Aside from that the food was overall so good I would most definitely come back again.

    This place gets a solid 4.5/5 for its authentic southern Italian food and very friendly & attentive…read moreservice. It has a very homey, old-school Italian American restaurant ambience - the opposite of the stylish, hipster or touristy restaurant vibe. Apparently this restaurants gets a lot of regulars, and I could see why. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're transported back to the 1960s with the red-and-white checkered tablecloths, red chairs, old-style wax candles, brick walls, and a large black-and-white photo of an Italian family on the wall (perhaps the founder or owner's?). I could see this place being a movie set for films that need an old, classic Italian American restaurant as a setting. In addition to the décor, I love the 1960s music being played in the background. Size-wise, the inside of the restaurant isn't that big so it feels very cozy. It can get very busy and crowded after 5 pm, as most people seem to come here for dinner. We came during lunch hour and we were the only patrons there. The southern Italian touches are very apparent in most of their dishes - with heavy reliance on olive oil, tomato-based sauces (especially in the fish and seafood dishes), fresh seafood, herbs, peppers, and vegetables such as eggplant. This is in contrast to northern Italian cuisine that is characterized by rich, creamy dishes using butter, lard, and cheeses, and puts more emphasis on rice, polenta, and meat-heavy dishes (where as seafood is more prevalent in the south). Dishes that we tried: 1) Baccala (Pan-Seared Black Cod) - This was the BEST and my favourite dish here. The black cod had a crispy exterior and flaky interior, and came with roasted mini potatoes and mixed vegetables (zucchini, red bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, eggplant) roasted with garlic -- such a well-rounded and wholesome dish. The roasted mini potatoes were so flavourful, and the vegetables had a nice char. I asked for the puttanesca sauce on the side, as the fish was already flavourful on its own without the sauce. But the sauce was better than I expected - it contained actual whole chunks of cherry tomatoes and olives. 2) Steamed Mixed Fish & Seafood in Tomato Sauce - This dish wasn't on the website menu, but it was on the printed menu in the restaurant. It reminded me of cioppino (Italian-American mixed seafood stew with tomato sauce, herbs, and spices). It came presented as wrapped inside aluminum tin foil, which the server then opened in front of us on the table with steam coming out. The fish was salmon, and seafood consisted of mussels and shrimps. This dish was just alright. For almost $50, there wasn't much seafood. 3) Pizza Funghi - I liked the very thin and crispy crust, and the sliced roasted mushrooms as toppings, but I wasn't a fan of the "truffled honey" they added on top of the pizza. I didn't taste any truffle, and the honey made it very sweet. Not a fan of sweet pizza. 4) SIDES: Rapini, Brussels Sprouts, Mushrooms - They got bonus points for being able to customize the sides. They didn't have asparagus that day, so they substituted it for steamed Brussels sprouts with garlic instead - which was heavenly. The Brussels sprouts weren't overcooked at all, and they were generous with the garlic (anything with extra garlic gets extra thumbs up from me). The rapini came out chopped with a side of lemon wedge. Mushrooms weren't on the menu as a side, but we asked and they were able to make a simple side of just mushrooms. Overall the vegetables got 9/10. The chef was very friendly as he came out and talked to us. The server was extremely attentive. Great service overall.

    We had 3 good pizzas and salads. We always have good food and service. It is very comfortable.read more
