We were hungry after many delays getting to Toronto. This place was 2 blocks from our hotel. We dined on the outdoor patio which is nice and secluded (feels like dining in your back yard). We had the pizza lunch special. Personal pizza with 2 toppings and a side for $13.99. Nice thin crust pizza with a cold beer perfect for a lunch. It was the best meal, we had in Toronto. read more

I came here after a Blue Jays game about a month ago. We were really hungry (didn't wanna spend a fortune at the game) so we thought since we're already downtown, might as well find something walking distance to try. We did a quick search and found Hey Lucy! Didn't realize that it's a bit of a fancy place, it was a Wednesday night and mostly everyone in the restaurant was dressed to impress. And here we were, walking in coming straight from a Jays game with our hats and T's on, oh well ‍ it also threw me off a little when they asked for ID to enter. At first glance, it seemed like such a fancy restaurant...with fancy dressed people, fancy looking food on their tables and nothing really caught my eye on the menu. Wasn't really "feeling" the place.. Decided to go for the fried calamari and sausage supreme pizza. It was delish i totally judged the book by its cover on this one and I'm glad I was wrong! The calamari was lightly battered but still crunchy and flavourful! The crust and dough on the pizza was on point, and ingredients were fresh. Staff there were very friendly and we received great service. read more

Great specials and the patio is sick!!! I think they had one of the best and most unique take on nacho's over here. The nacho was baked and fluffy and tasted like a cross of a cracker and chip. It was baked nice and hot and was definitely a treat. Usually a big meat eater but we decided to accommodate our vegetarian friend. We ordered the buttersquash ravioli. WOW...one of the best tasting pasta dishes I have tried in a long time. Must try! $5 martini's at night. This place is amazing. Really enjoyed it! read more

Hey Lucy is one of the many choices along the restaurant strip opposite the TIFF Lightbox. Apparently they are known for their calzones, which are freshly made and stuffed full with your choice of fillings. It is really filling, and comes to the table straight out of the oven. So good. If you want a lighter option, the pear and goat cheese salad is delicious and probably beat out the calzone as the star of the night. read more

Hey Lucy - The famous calzones. Each packed with alot of filling. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

We had a very good brunch at noon on a Sunday. Expected a wait, but it was pretty quiet. Maybe they recently added their brunch option, because the food is really good and this place should be packed! I had a goat cheese and avocado omelette with really tasty greens, toast, and breakfast potatoes. The omlette was delicious, and the breakfast potatoes were amazing!!! Red, yellow, and purple potatoes fried just right so they were crispy on the outside and puffy in the middle with great potato flavor. My only complaint was the toast wasn't toasted at all, and barely warm. Service was good, prices reasonable! Would definitely return. read more

I came here on a Saturday night with a party of about 7-8. Asked the waitress for a double Cosmo -- "we don't do that here, there's already 2 ounces in them" shes says. So I order a regular. What she proceeds to bring me was a Martini glass, half full, which tasted like juice. I couldn't even taste the alcohol and Martini's are usually so strong. It was my first drink of the night too, so it's not like I was already wasted and couldn't tell the difference. My friend ordered a Samuel Adams pint and it was served to her with 1/4th foam at the top (see pic). How is that acceptable? And then, right before we left, we all did a shot of our poison of choice, and I swear my vodka shot was watered down. Another person in the group got a lemon drop and commented that his shot tasted watered down too. Wtf?! I've never experienced that in a bar/restaurant in my life. A martini, pint and shot would usually leave me feeling pretty good but I barely had a buzz going. This place is a joke. read more

Hey Lucy - Mmmm...foamy - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Checking out McBeth at TIFF. Thought we would try this place for a change and its right across from TIFF - bonus! Alot of the reviews seem to be based on the martinis. Let's try to rate the food! Ordered organic greens to start and the prosciutto pizza and seafood fettuccini for mains. Salad was a beautifully presented and perfectly dressed fresh greens that was delicious and refreshing. Mains were delish. Al dente pasta with tomato sauce and fresh perfectly cooked seafood. Definitely a great place to come for dinner before or after a show. Service was warm and friendly which is a pleasant surprise downtown TO. read more

The staff = 5 Stars! Amazing People! Sadly the food was not enjoyable. Not sure if it's poor quality ingredients or what, but the pizza was not good. :( read more

Loved this spot! Had an awesome roof top patio and amazing food. And the white sangria - AMAZING. Spent about 3 hours here one night when in town for work and I couldn't have been more pleased. From the grilled artichoke appetizer to the chocolate cake - it was all so delicious. And I'll have to mention it again - the sangria is killer. I could have easily had a carafe to myself, but I shared anyhow. Nice staff, friendly, and clean. Great place on King street. read more

Hey Lucy is in the strip of restaurants on King West, it literally is one restaurant after another. Competition is so tough, there's hostesses standing outside vying for your attention and business. Hey Lucy is near the Princess of Wales theatre as well as the Skydome, and CN Tower. So it's a pretty busy area. I went yesterday (Friday night) for a chillaxing dinner. Compared to some of the other restaurants in the area, Hey Lucy is pretty laid back. It's not too expensive either. There's a patio in the front (very tiny) and an upstairs patio as well (we didn't head up). The downstairs is tiny, we sat sorta in the restaurant , but half in and half out (the store front is completely open). There's no hostess to greet you, so you kind of have to find a seat and sit yourself. Our waiter, first impression, meano. Once we got talking to him, he turned out to be super nice and helpful. The menu is so extensive, we were having a hard time picking out what to eat. I was torn between the pizza nachos (they look really really good). ghnocci, or pizza.Unfortunately they ran out of ghnocci, so I got the pizza (it seems this place specializes in pizza). My other two compadres got pizza as well. A meathead one (all meat) and Tijuana classic. The Tijuana classic was interesting because it was a salad ontop of a pizza. It sounds weird, I know, but it was really good! I got the cheeseless garden. Not bad, but next time I think I'll order the Tijuana one. The only negative was their debit/credit card machine wasn't working, and they didn't mention this to us beforehand. We all did not have enough money (who carries cash anymore), so we were stuck. Fortunately one of my friends remembered he had "emergency" money in his wallet. A crispy $100 bill.. So we were saveddddddd! read more

Came around 2 pm on a Thursday. We were seated upstairs on the patio which was nice. Drinks tasted a bit watered down/weak. (mojito) There were two girls running food between the main level & rooftop. They were both nice just seemed a bit of a stretch. The wood oven pizza was actually really good. The reason for only two stars was the weak drinks and there were no napkins insight. I ended up pouring my water on my hands to wash them off. I would recommend it just make sure you ask for napkins & utensils! read more

Came to Hey Lucy for my friend's birthday. My friend and I established that this place is good for a date where you're JUST getting to know the person because it is LOUD here; the awkward silences you might have will be - well, less awkward hahaha WOOD FIRED ROSEMARY CHICKEN PANINI (3/5) (roast chicken, balsamic roasted onion, basil pesto & tomato) The kale salad that I ordered as the side was really good. The panini was good but could be better if they marinated the chicken slices more. I would've liked it better if there was more sauce. Service was great but we didn't know there was a plating fee for birthday cakes until the bill came (be waaarned!). read more

Sauce...Sauce is key! We shared a seafood pasta and one of the meat pizzas, all in the pasta wasn't too bad in terms of ingredients but the tomato sauce was really poor and felt far to acidic...the same can be said for the pizza sauce. On the other hand the drinks specials are good and theres a good selection of them so I'd come back maybe for a drink but wouldn't really be interested in eating here again unless the food improved. In terms of cost its average but for the quality of food it felt a lot to pay at 120$ for 2 meals and a bottle of wine. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Location: 4/5 This restaurant has been one of my favourites in the Entertainment District for years now! I come here knowing I can get tasty food for an affordable price. Lunch menu items are usually under $10 and dinner options on average range from $12-18. They have a great variety of foods and my favourites are their pastas and wood fired pizzas. My top recommendations are their Hey Lucy's mac and cheese, wonderfully indulgent without being too heavy, and their classic spaghetti and meatballs featuring the perfect balance of tomato tanginess and peppered spice. The space itself is narrow and dimly lit. My favourite part though, is the rooftop patio area that opens during the summer. Overall, this place is great for a quick lunch date, or an end-of-the-workweek dinner and drinks with friends. read more

Hey Lucy - Spaghetti and meatballs. - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The pepperoni calzone was really good. The bacon mac n cheese s was more like alfredo

Very relaxed place, patio is on top of the building, similar to adjacent restaurants and bars. The patio itself is pretty quite and well lit, with pendent lights with wires all over the patio. Menu is not extensive, mainly Italians such as pizza, pasta and panini. We had the grilled calamari which is a bit under-seasoned. The antipasto is OK, the best dish was the wood fired oven pizza, which is done to perfection. Drink list is kind fun, mainly serving different variations of Martinis, I had the classic with which is good. My wife had the mango tango which she likes too, but a tad too sweet for me. I didn't see any list for beer, which I assume they have a few, but was not the main theme of the place. read more

I brought some friends from Ottawa here last night for dinner. I love King Street and will make any excuse to go! Being a Saturday night with nice weather, I anticipated a long wait. In order to avoid this, I decided to make a reservation. You can do it easily on-line and the Manager will promptly respond to your requests. I made many, many, many changes and each time the Manager was quite accommodating. The location is great and gives out-of-towners a good impression of Toronto. The proximity to cafes and lounges for after dinner adds to this place. We went to the TIFF Lightbox for coffee and treats after our dinner. I found the food to be pretty good as did my Dining Companions. Portions were generous and when we left we were all quite full. Pricing is pretty reasonable too. Yay, I'm a fan. read more

This location is right in the heart of downtown - close to the theatre, symphony, TIFF building and a bunch of other things. It's a great place to start off with dinner or a bite to eat after an event. While this place is quite small, it can accommodate big groups on the second floor. On the second floor they also have a cute little hidden patio. The food is pretty good, though there is nothing really amazing about it. People say the wood fired pizza is to die for, but to be honest, I have had better. read more

This review is only for their drinks.. me and the Mrs. were just bar hopping, when we came across this "rooftop" bar. While the setup was really nice, our expectations were probably too high from Toronto ;-) (as compared to NYC rooftops). We were just returning from a heavy dinner at Earl's on King Street, and when we came to their rooftop, the smell of the Indian Dhaba restaurant was just so strong, that we couldn't really enjoy our drinks! None the less, it's an a pretty decent setup; really friendly, welcoming and helpful servers.. Am sure, if we were empty stomach, this would've gotten a 5 star... 3 for Lucy's and 2 for the Indian Dhaba next door! Overall, a good experience! read more

Hey Lucy is just on the end of a barrage of tourist-trap restaurants on King West, designed to lure in unsuspecting visitors and force them to empty their wallets for pretty abysmal food and overpriced drinks. That being said, Hey Lucy! does have some good to offer. They have cheap martini's every wednesday ($5 each) and a pretty great list of spirited concoctions (Green Apple is my go-to). The restaurant itself is pretty small and the prices are kind of high, but the food isn't awful (at least in comparison to some other places on this strip). I love the Ya Old Goat Pizza (goat cheese, spinach and sundried tomatoes). The ceasar salad is OK but my brother ordered the curry once and it was barely luke warm. I find the food, like the service, is pretty hit or miss. Definitely go here for some martini's on hump day, but find another place for dinner (and trust me, there are many!) read more

I think the biggest thing with this place is knowing it serves more than just "cafe" stuff. I wanted to give this a 3.5 stars but have to reflect this as a 3.0. Listen, nothing super spectacular about this place but it is a nice surprise with a decent menu of Italian classics and snacks. Is it a place for a full dinner, not really. It has a lot of sandwiches, paninis, wood fire pizzas and some appetizers, so the best I'd describe the menu is very Gastropub like. They have a decent local and popular wine selection, the bottles are a bit pricey at about 3x LCBO pricing, but their "house" wines are Peller and are $18 for the Half Litres which is a good buy to get 4 glasses worth. It's in a classic narrow King St W style set-up with an upper floor for parties. Feels like a warm cafe, lots of age to the building and suroundings but nice and welcoming. The food has again as I mentioned lots of familiar fare to dine on. I ended up getting a half litre of wine and a Sharing Platter which had calamari, deep fried mac and cheese, a few dips and hummus. Tasty, and hit the spot. Just missing the game on TV to be honest. Not a bad spot and in a pinch would love to pop in again maybe after a Blue Jays game or something. read more

3.5/5 Cute atmosphere. Called to make reservations - only do 6pm and 8pm seats for reservations, but walk ins can be seated any time (which is kind of odd to me). Decent menu. Mostly fire grilled pizza and pastas. I got the chicken pizza and they gave me no problems/didn't charge me extra to substitute spinach for tomatoes. Service a little slow, but otherwise it was a nice, relaxing experience. Heat lamps on the outdoor patio, ambient lighting (expect it to get dark). read more

I went to Hey Lucy for their Wednesday night $4.49 martini special. I don't recommend the Lemon Drop, but the Sextini was delicious, with the Mango Tango as a close second. Hey Lucy had a relaxed atmosphere and the server was there when we needed her, but otherwise left us alone. Will definitely go again to try the food as everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. read more

So apparently they have wednesday martini specials for 4.99 instead of regular 9.50, should have went on a Wed. I ordered a martini, was good. Also ordered their king street sweet heat pizza, which is actually a little more spicy than I thought it would be. Overall good experience, will probably go back again. read more

Came here for dinner with my friends on a Friday night. It wasn't busy so we didn't need to wait to be seated. We chose to sit upstairs on the patio- it was lovely. I really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly but the food took awhile to come out- considering the restaurant wasn't super busy. We ordered Grilled Calamari ($11) as a starter to share between the 4 of us but I was disappointed by the size of the dish. I only got a bite and a half of the calamari. It was pretty tender but I don't think it was worth the price. I ordered Caprese Salad ($11.50) and I thought it was pretty good. The mixed greens were fresh and I enjoyed the pesto balsamic dressing. Also, the portion size was perfect- not too big and not too small. read more

Honestly such an underrated place! Went back in January for martinis and pizza. Just went this past weekend & still amazing! We went for dinner this time & got their create your own wood fired pizza & it is amazing. We also got a sausage and pepper pasta & it was to die for. They have great wine & drink selections as well without being too over priced. The ambiance is dark & really chill. I will keep coming back here every time I am in Toronto! read more

Tldr; cheap martinis, good service, bad food Went with two friends on wednesday for martini night! Although i didnt drink my friends enjoyed the martinis and they were super cheap! Also the waitress was nice, friendly and attentive. But the food was pretty bad... We ordered two pizzas and a pasta to share. The food was mehhhhhh at best. The chicken on the pizza and pasta was really dry and the pasta sauce tasted like it was out of a jar. We ordered a fried cheesecake with carmel sauce which was surprisingly tasty! read more

My friend and I visited Hey Lucy's on Friday night. We walked in at about 8pm and were quickly seated. We ordered only bruschetta. It was alright. I typically don't like bruschetta was my friend was raving about it. The bread was nice and crisp, not soggy at all. I feel like there could have been more goat cheese. Again, I don't really like bruschetta but my friend thought it was fantastic. The service was quick for a Friday night. read more

$5 martinis on Wednesdays!! This is my go to place for drinks on Wednesdays. Their martinis are so good. My favourite is the Godzilla, I get it each time. It comes with a whole lychee, so bomb. Foodwise, I've tried their apps and pastas which are subpar. Their pizzas are pretty good though. My favourite is the bacon artichoke pizza, they really layered on the toppings for this one. Note that it get quite busy here on Wednesdays so there might be a wait and you may get stuck with a tiny table that's just inches away from the table beside you. read more

I've been here a few times over the years, and what's not to like? $5 cocktails on Wednesdays and $5 wine of Thursdays!!! Amen! The cowboy drink is one of my favourite cocktails here! Love the candy inside the drink. Service is always attentive and food is good. read more

It was average in my opinion as we had a late dinner coming from another place for drinks. I ordered the rose chicken fusilli while others had other food items like apps and mains. Nothing out of this world as we were seated upstairs with quick service. It was not a memorable experience and we headed elsewhere for more drinks after finishing dinner. read more

After a lovely time at the ballet - my boy and I ended up here for dinner. We were seated upstairs for a more intimate setting. I think they waitress was a little clueless on how to seat patrons. Usually there is a seating pattern until things get busy. Out of the WHOLE entire EMPTY upstairs - she decided to sit us right next to the only other people upstairs (a party of 6 ppl). We were basically on their laps. My boyfriend actually asked if we could move across the way to a table for 2 - she did the classic blonde move "oh yeah sure- but if it gets busy we'll have to move the tables together". I'm thinking uhhh don't worry we'll be outta here before you get packed for the night. I ended up with the seafood pasta which was great. Loaded with lots of fresh seafood and creamy tomato sauce. My guy had another pasta dish which he quite enjoyed. With my meal I had a glass of red which I think had been sitting for awhile - it tasted like vinegar. I didn't say anything. Maybe a cocktail would've been a better choice. To end the night we had the dessert pizza which was drizzled with chocolate and icecream. Great thing to share if you don't want to overstuff yourself. In all the bill came out to roughly $65-70. Which is decent considering we through in a dessert and a glass of wine. I would definetely come here again! :) read more

OK other than bourbon and pizza my review will be short. But guess what?! I love Bourbon and pizza! So Hey Lucy has top marks. The first time I walked in I was greeted by a fellow named Harry. I told him that I had heard about their pizza. I ordered. "A drink while you wait?", god bless Harry. I asked if he had bourbon, and boy do they. We chatted for a bit. Nice guy. In my mind a proper bartender. He made drinks and still kept up his patter. I had the pizza to go, when I got home it was still piping hot fresh and delicious. My gal said that was the best pizza in Toronto. I said, "It was Harrys suggestion." read more

Hey Lucy, you'll do in a pinch! After a night at the theatre, myself, my darling mother and my loving husband decided to have a night cap. We were on King W and Jack Frost is a bitch, so we weren't willing to go far. Of everything in this hood, I deemed this the most likely to be the most civilized on a Wednesday night, and it was A OK. They are still rocking their cheap sugary martini specials after all of these years, and I would definitely deem this a tinder date bar. The pizza smelled good, the music wasn't too loud and I got ID'd on the way in. Some wins, some losses, but again, Lucy'll do in a pinch. read more

After previously working near the Entertainment district for years I realized that I never explored many of the popular spots along King Street across from the TIFF building. I always assumed these spots were pretentious and likely pricey given their location. Post 18 inning Jays game our group was searching for something small, uncrowded with good cocktails and good food (and a good patio could help too). As opposed to settling for something closer to the Rogers Centre (Skydome) we trekked up a few blocks and took in our options on King Street West. As the sun came out we realized a rooftop patio would be grand and just like that Hey Lucy's large advertisement out front for one such type of patio drew us in... and up! It's by no means a large patio, more like a small wooden deck that now overlooks a deep hole in the ground where a high rise will soon stand, but with a surprising amount of shade provided by overhanging trees and still full sun in others, it was cozy and fit our purposes perfectly. I ordered my usual, an Old Fashioned, found it to be OK but not remarkable. I tend to like it with less ice (or large cubed ice) and less sweet (this had a fair amount of sugar in it). Shortly there after we decided to order a pizza for us to share and went with the sausage and pepperoni option off the menu. I'm usually very critical when it comes to 'za, call me a 'za aficionado or a 'za snob, but this 'ZA made the grade in my books. Good crust, fresh toppings, well cooked throughout, my only note would be that the sauce was a touch tart. Prices for both the cocktail and pizza were standard so my prejudice against King West Entertainment district spots was off. Overall this was a great spot, and somewhat of a hidden gem when it comes to patio's in the city. Worth checking out for sure! read more

I'm a simple girl with simple taste. I like my lunches reasonably priced with a side of salad. And if at all possible, can I please have a martini to accompany said lunch? Granted, the martinis tastes best and go down smooth on Wednesdays when they are a mere $3.99 each (any other night I believe cost up to $9.99) but I challenge you to score a seat on those nights. And should you luck out, I recommend the unfortunately named Tidy Bowl martini - it's the kind of martini children should drink were it not illegal. But if you're like me, by that I mean a girly drink drunk, I also recommend trying ALL the martinis on their drink list.... just, you know, not in a row. Every item on their lunch menu is of perfect size and flavour be it pasta, pizza and sammich. The decor is cozy for the small business luncheon crowd that wishes to avoid the Milestones and Jack Astor's of the neighbourhood. And as I mentioned before, martini mayhem is the name of the game on Wednesdays. This place also has a quaint upstairs which you can book for private parties complete with its own bar. Perfect for a birthday party not intent on disturbing the locals. read more

This place gets 4 stars during the week, and two stars on the weekend. During the week, downtowners can get a wood-fired pizza and $4 martini on Wednesday night or a $5 glass of wine on a Thursday night. Pizza is good, fresh and filling (I've yet to find pizza that is inedible!). They have a range of martinis ranging from the sweet chocolaty type, tart jolly rancher type (yum!) or something a little more classic, and most come serve with a special candy in the bottom. They also have a variety of beer on tap and in bottle. The thing that sets this place apart is teh dessert pizza - pizza dough, with chocolate sauce and gelato. It sounds like a kid's dessert but is very good - I highly recommend sharing. The exposed brick, chandelier and zebra print couches totally set the vibe for a fun girls' night out but there are often couples on dates or movie goers catching a drink before or after a film at the TIFF Lightbox across teh street. And... in the summer they have a small patio in front on lively King St W and an upstairs patio at the back. On the weekend, this place changes and all of the things I like during the week seem cheesy so I don't go... read more

The fix is in.... I understand how they can charge $3.99 for a Wednesday night martini - add water to your vodka. Tonight I sat at the bar (seating is hard to come by on Wed), drank 5 martinis in a little more than an hour and didn't eat dinner. This was supposed to be a total of 10oz of vodka. On drinks 3 and 4 I asked that the juices be omitted and on drink 5 I asked for straight polar ice vodka (their vodka of choice). I had a bit of a buzz, but had I done the same at Pravda I would have had to use the railing to walk down the steep stairs to the street. I would like to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. The straight vodka martini didn't really have much kick, nor did my belly get warm with alcoholic joy. So I'm fairly certain that dilution is occurring on Wednesday nights. Be forewarned of dilution Wednesdays. I didn't eat there because I assume they use MSG in their food to fool people like their $3.99 martini list. read more
