Best in town. When I first moved to Ottawa, I got advice about the best - the usual ones. Then I…read moremoved and Joes happened to be in the neighbourhood, so I tried it. It's a family thing, no chain, no other locations, just Sam and his son and occasional help. For my taste, the others are all second rate. Why is it so good? The sauce. Their own recipe, and warning, it's got spice. If you like bland, this might not be for you, but if you like flavour... And the cheese. I don't know if they want me to share the secret, but I will simply say they use a cheese that is really like mozzarella, but better. I finally earned my own - I just order a "large Tom" and it's ready. Bacon, pepperoni, green peppers, extra cheese. The Best. Oh - and Jessie, below? Fake review. Posted when a competitor opened nearby and tried to use the name "joe's" to steal business, knowing that Sam hadn't any web presence.

So I came across Popular Pizza in September 2023 when I went to the plaza to get some bubble tea at…read moreOneZo Tapioca. I was incredibly disappointed to find OneZo had shut down. However, I noticed Popular Pizza had opened up next door. I was on the hunt for bubble tea and not pizza, so I made a mental note to return one day to check it out. That day finally came in December (2023). And I'm kicking myself that I waited so long! I got the $19 walk-in special, which was a large pizza, 3 toppings and a dip. Three years ago I would have laughed and said "that's not a deal!" But times have changed and unfortunately that is now in fact a deal, lol. I should mention that that price is inclusive of tax, so it's even more of a deal, haha. I got green peppers and butter chicken as my toppings (butter chicken is a premium topping and counts as 2 toppings). And I chose the Chipotle dip. The wait was about 20 minutes. And service was friendly and efficient. The pizza was fantastic! I like that the crust is thin and crispy and they spread the sauce and toppings all the way to the edge. The pizza had a potent butter chicken taste and they were generous with the toppings. Lots of cubes of lean chicken breast and diced green peppers. It tasted like a true Indian-fusion pizza. So tasty. My husband and I really enjoyed it. The place is strictly takeout. No eat in. There are 3 chairs to sit and wait for your order, but you can't really eat there because there are no tables. They sell pizza by the slice, so I guess you could sit at one of the chairs and eat your slice, lol. Free parking available in the plaza parking lot.

I live really close by but for some reason have never tried Georgie's until recently. I got some…read moretakeout for my husband and I to share. I got a Hot Turkey sandwich platter $13.75 and a slice of Donair pizza $4. They sell pizzas by the slice, but they are not displayed so you have to ask them what kinds they have. The day I went, if I remember correctly, they had 4 types: Cheese, Pepperoni, Bacon and Donair. Slices are $4 each or $5 with a can of pop. 2 slices is $8 or $9 with a can of pop, so no discount if you buy more. However, they do have a pickup discount, which is the equivalent amount to the taxes you would pay. So essentially if you pick up, they pay the tax :) The Hot Turkey sandwich platter was really good. It came with fries and coleslaw. I liked that the coleslaw was vinegar based and not mayo based. It was mostly cabbage with a bit of carrot. I enjoyed it. The fries were just regular fries but they were crispy and good. The sandwich had real turkey breast meat in it (can you believe that I once ordered a hot turkey sandwich and it was a deli meat turkey sandwich covered in gravy?!? Obviously not at this restaurant, lol). The bread was the regular white sandwich bread, but what really set this sandwich apart was the delicious peppery gravy. Man, that stuff is really good! The pizza was good too. They put toppings under the cheese here, which is not my preference, but I still enjoyed it. The donair was thick pieces and tasted more like sausage, but it was still good. The sauce has a distinct flavour to it, which I can't pinpoint, but I liked it. The crust was crispy and even though the crust was thicker than I usually like, I still enjoyed it. I liked that the slice came in a cute cardboard box. The platter came in an aluminum container, but the lid was styrofoam. I'm not a fan of styrofoam, I would have preferred a foil-backed cardboard lid. Service was friendly and I got my food pretty quickly. The restaurant is a strip of businesses along Carling Ave just west of Churchill Ave N. There's free parking at the back of the strip. There's a sign and you have to turn in before you actually see the strip of businesses (Georgie's, Sapporo Sushi, and a few other businesses). If you turn into the parking lot after the strip, that one actually belongs to a different strip mall (the one with Markie's Smoked Meat and Mr. Sub). There are signs indicating you can only park there if you are going to a business in that strip mall. Not sure what enforcement is like, but why chance it if there's also free parking in the proper place, right? Since there's a huge median along this part of Carling Ave, you can only access the restaurant if you are driving westbound on Carling. Georgie's has its main entrance on Carling but there's also a back entrance from the parking lot.

Simply put...AWESOME PIZZA…read more I have ordered from here a few times and I'm embarrassed to say I neglected to review each time before now, I was typically so hungry I just jumped right in... alas I digress. I have had a few different types of pizzas here, in the end my favourite is the cheese. Yup, straight cheese. Seems basic, but the flavour is outstanding and the dough ball to keep the box from sticking to the cheese is a classically delicious touch. I really like the flavour combinations of the cheese with the sauce puts many other to shame. If you are in this end of the town, give this place a shot, you won't be disappointed. I'll be back for sure.

The restaurant is cuter inside than I thought. There are some window seats for people-watching on bank st. There are also some hanging lights by the windows. The pizza crust has the perfect crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside texture. It's so good it doesn't even need any dip. I tried both the nerd pizza and the mushroom pizza. The nerd pizza had pickled onions, black pepper molasses bacon, cheese and chili Basil honey. I loved the tangy pickled onions, with the salty-sweet bacon, and the spicy honey. The combination was just perfection. I could use a little more chili though! The mushroom pizza was a white pizza with portobello mushrooms, parm, and truffle oil. The salty parm and the meaty portebello mushrooms were a good combo, but I didn't really taste any truffle oil. I felt like this pizza was good but missing a little something to take it to the next level. Overall, the food was delicious. The drinks are reasonably priced (beer, local kombucha). However, the service was mediocre. I think they only had one or two servers working the entire area on Friday night.

I usually go to a different place for my za, but I thought I'd try something new. I am genuinely sad to say that we didn't like the pizza. The sauce tastes like it is from a can, the mozzarella cheese doesn't seem "real" because it melted in a really weird way... hard to explain - see the pic. It was 'chewy' but not in a good way. A better word would be 'tough'. Pepperoni was ugh, and not enough other toppings for my taste. Chicken fingers were so good! Top quality and cooked well - not burnt like restaurants sometimes do and you can't complain by the time you get home because you're so darned hungry. I won't be going back for the pizza, but yes to the chicken.

I ordered on the Domino's app for pickup and the wait wasn't very long. Staff were pleasant. This is not my usual location, so I will only order from here if I'm already in the area running errands.

I am very surprised that I enjoy Willy's Pizza because they do everything that I normally don't like: thick crust, too much cheese, and the most sacrilegious thing of all, toppings under the cheese!! However, for inscrutable reasons, I like the pizza at Willy's, lol. I was super hungry and learned that I would be unexpectedly having dinner by myself that evening. I was in the area, and wanted something quick to take home, so decided to try Willy's Pizza, which I had never tried before. I walked in and ask if they had any walk-in specials, and was advised that they did not. I perused the menu, and saw that they had a "Tropical Chicken" pizza with chicken, pineapples and bacon. I asked if I could substitute broccoli for the bacon and the guy said it was no problem. I got a small and it was $12.75. The wait was a bit long, maybe 30 minutes or more, but they were pretty busy, it was a Friday evening. The pizza smelled so good on my drive home! And it tasted just as good. The crust was thick, but crispy on the outside with a nice chew to it in the middle. Not soggy at all. The chicken was cut into tiny cubes, the pineapples were canned and were the small pieces (not the big rings). Broccoli pieces were also small, and really soft, but not mushy. I don't know man, I like my broccoli al dente, my pineapples fresh, and my chicken in big strips, but for some reason I liked the pizza and thought it was delicious. I can't explain it. Four stars from me. I don't even know how, lol. Willy's has 6 locations in Ottawa. This location is in a strip mall. Same strip mall as Sip Tea, and the Barley Mow. Lots of free parking in the shared parking lot.
