Our Caesar salads the lettuce was brown, my chicken parmigiana tasted like a frozen breaded chicken Patti the cheese was melted to the point that it was almost dissolved.

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.

Omg! Their pizza is delicious! You usually have to buy a metre long pizza or half-metre, but in the…read moresummers they sell pizza by the slice from 11:30am-2:30pm. You pay by the weight, so you can ask them to cut off as big or as small as a piece as you like. Prices depend of the type of pizza you're getting, but it's about $3.40/100g. This is awesome because you can try several different flavours. They have vegetarian and even vegan options. I've had the Tartin-tino, which has the most delicious smoked pancetta on it. The Special White Pizza is also great. It has sliced zucchini and topped with dollops of whipped ricotta. Even the basic Margherita pizza is excellent, as is the even more basic (lol) Rossa pizza, which is just tomato sauce and spices (no cheese, it's vegan). Their pizzas are greasy, so not for dieters, lol. I've also had their Suppli, which is a breaded and deep-fried risotto and cheese croquette. It's big time greasy, but tasty. They also sell gelato, which I haven't tried, but look forward to on a future visit. Service is friendly. When the weather permits, they have outside seating, some of which is under a tent. They have a small private parking lot, but it's almost always full. Street parking is not the easiest to find, but worth the search.

This was my first time eating at Ottavio, and I came because I wanted to try their vegan menu! I…read morehad the arancini (fried risotto balls stuffed with mushrooms, green peas, and vegan mozzarella) and veggie pizza (zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, vegan mozzarella, and pesto sauce). As a vegan, I never thought I'd be eating arancini again, but these vegan arancini blew my mind. Also, TBH their vegan cheese is better than Pizza Pizza's. The pizza is very big and the crust was a bit too hard. Otherwise, it was delicious. Ottavio's vegan menu mostly consists of pastas and pizzas, and they even offer Beyond Meat. I'd love it if Ottavio could add some vegan desserts, too. Service was friendly and bilingual. The food is a bit pricey (16$ for 4 arancini, 18$ for vegan veggie pizza).

It was also quick, but maybe it was because we ate early in the day. We tried a veggie pizza and a burger pizza. The veggie had chunks of tomato which was okay, but the rest of the veggies were perfect. The small pie was a good size, light dough, not too crazy with the flavor though. I would have liked garlic flavors to show through. And the burger one was incredible, burger meat, cheese... bread, what's not to love. We will try it again if we are in the area. Thanks!!

Pizza from a trailer hitch?!?!?!?!?…read more YES PLEASE!!! I was at a food show in New Ed awhile back and saw people lined up for a trailer. Being intrigued I had to come by to see what was here. Low and behold it was a pizza oven within a trailer! I checked out the menu and ordered a pizza which I currently don't remember but it definitely had meat and buffalo mozzarella. The pizza was pretty solid and reminiscent of the style of pizza that I really enjoy. Thin crust, cooked with almost perfect crust. The toppings were ok and the sauce was ok. I think if they work on some of the recipes this truck will be amazing. They currently only cater and you may see them around Ottawa events!

I actually even went with my friend to go pick it up. So they ordered a ham, bacon and pineapple pizza. My personal opinion is that it was an unremarkable pizza. It wasn't bad, but I didn't feel like it was great or anything special. The crust was too doughy and bready for my tastes. The amount of toppings was satisfactory and it wasn't overly saucey. The ham was cubed, not sliced. The bacon was like bacon bits instead of strips. Overall, it just wasn't all that memorable to me. Just my opinion though, yours might differ. The location is on a residential street. It's right next to a Middle Eastern grocery store called Maya Market, and they share a parking lot. The parking lot is small and there were a lot of cars in it, like cars blocking other cars from getting out. What a mess. My friend parked on the street and I stayed in the car, lol.
