We were in the area and came across this Italian place. The fire oven cooked pizza drew us in. We ordered the diablo dulce and the fungi one. Diablo dulce was a great mix of salty, sweet and spicy! We got the large pizza to share. It was massive. The fungi one was very mushroomy + cheesy + garlicky. If you like that profile, you got yourself a winner! We also tried their tossed salad, calamari and arancini balls. Pretty good and standard. The calamari was very crispy! read more

December 5/2023: Lunch with Lindsay. It was one of those "place your order & sit & wait" locations. The service was quite slow for such a busy spot. As I said, this is a VERY busy lunch spot. It's expanded in seating size by 3 times since the last time I was there many years ago. The food was ok. My pizza was their house pizza with goat cheese & arugula. It tasted ok but there simply wasn't much taste to taste! They were very cheap on the toppings. I've noticed this new trend where pizza companies are cheating out on the toppings, this was no exception. So, basically you're buying cooked dough! I'd go again but I'd order something different. read more

Stopped by on a Thursday night, where we sat at a corner table, not being rushed as the girls chit chatted and enjoyed some great food. When we left, we were surprised that the other sitting area was packed!! I ordered a veggie pizza which I selected my own toppings. The pizza was excellent! Even until the last bite, it was chewy and delicious. It didn't lose its touch. My friend had a veggie panini and she enjoyed it. It was larger than I thought. My other friend had a meat pizza and she had some leftover to bring home. The service was good from a server that only worked for 2 weeks there. The manager/owner/cook had to come out to explain to me about the bill since I was overcharged for toppings in which their menu was at a lower price. Because of their pizza, I would go back. I heard they make their own pasta so I would love to try it too. (Info from server)... Being opened for over 14 years states something - they must be doing something right!!!! read more

I'm shocked that I didn't review this place. This is the go to place for authentic Italian "comfort" food. You won't find food like Osso bucco, here. What you will find food food that is simple, delicious and filling. I've tried a few of their pizzas, the arcinni, and the Italian sausage sandwich. I feel that whatever you choose, you won't be disappointed. read more

Since recently moving to the GTA from New York City, as a foodie, I've haven't found an enjoyable slice of thin crust New York Style pizza until I tried this restaurant. Service- 5/5 The ladies at the counter were quick, courteous, efficient, and friendly. Food- 5/5 I only tried their NY style plain cheese pizza and it was on point. It's the first slice of pizza in the GTA that I genuinely enjoyed ever. The crust was perfectly baked (not too well done, but not soft or soggy), it had the right amount of sauce, and the right cheese to crust ratio. Ambiance- 5/5 It appears that you can dine in which is great since most restaurants since COVID only offers take out. The restaurant appeared spacious and clean. Constructive criticism- Nothing to criticize! Keep up the good quality and whenever I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by to try their other items. read more

What a terrible experience I had here!!!! Looks like the they are choosy on who dine in and who takes out. We were here for a dine - in , restaurant was half filled and we were waiting to be seated , and we waited and waited and waited. To our surprise there was no wait queue, clearly more than the half tables were available and set, I could not find reservation tag on tables. After waiting for like 10-15 mins, we tried to grab attention of their servers, one of them asked to wait for other girls to attend us, the "girls" kept passing us but did not even greet us. Then after another 5 mins my husband reached out another server standing at the counter to attend us and requested to at-least provide us a table to I can be seated, as she was idle had no other excuses she said yes and give here 2 mins and she started hiding behind the screen, as suddenly she is busy as hell on the system. After another 5 mins my husband reached out the group of these "girls" chatting and idling for a table and they said although tables are available but they cannot provide us a table as they is delay in service, my husband gently responded thats fine, I can wait for the food but atleast provide us a table and they refused and pointed us to take out menu and said we should take that instead of taking a table and right now we cannot provide you a table. So we left from the restaurant after wasting our 30 mins. Pathetic attitude of lazy workers in the restaurant. NOTE: the pictures are from previous visits. This time they did not offered us any table even though the place was half empty!!! read more

I've been at this place three times now. It's a nice little restaurant with STELLAR Service and food!! My faves are their thin crust wood oven fired pizza. My kids love their well served pastas. The wife loves their Italian plate that you can get with chicken or veal!! All in all, this place is a top notch small restaurant that has great pricing to go along with it. I'll recommend this place to anyone. read more

God knows how many times I came here while on a two week work trip. Multiple lunches and multiple dinners. This place is so good! I've had a variety of their wood fired pizzas as well as panzerottis, and never once been disappointed. They've for a bunch of unique flavors as well as your classics, and they all taste great. The crust/bread is just soooooo good. Definitely have this fresh; not as good as leftovers or if you carryout and don't eat it for a while. Also very filling - I was stuffed every time, whether it was a pizza or panzerotti. read more

Had a horrible experience tonight. We were craving pizza and we had a good experience last time, so we decided to drive. We went and stood patiently by the sign for the table. The wait staff kept going past us for 10 mins without saying anything or offering a table, making us think if we really are invisible. We stopped one of the waitresses who was cleaning the tables and asked if we can be seated and she asked us to wait for a couple of mins as one of the girls will attend to us shortly. Waited another 5 mins, then spoke to the girl standing at the counter and she repeated the same. Waited another 5-10 mins, nobody gave a shit about attending to customers. Spoke to another lady, she said that they are still serving lunch options. I am still trying to figure out why was that relevant. We were there at 7:30 pm for dinner, asking for a table when plenty were available. There were at least 5 servers on duty and none of them had the courtesy to seat the customers standing for more than 20 mins. We just left vowing to never return. read more

This pizza is phenomenal! When we asked some locals about a good pizza a joint in the area they replied that would be tough. Found this place on Yelp and man were we blessed! Lots of pizzas to choose from, we ordered several, I can't even remember the names. However, the sauce was great, the dough spot on, and the toppings were fresh and wonderful. Unfortunately the Stromboli was sold out, we really wanted to try it. Everyone was super friendly and they also had a great selection of drinks (non-alcoholic). Give this place a go without hesitation! read more

Yikes this did not work out well! Called in at just after 5pm on Friday August 29th to pre-order. The woman on the phone mentioned that they only needed 5mins to prepare the order so I politely said that I would come in at some point later in the night and place an order. I went there with my out of town friend at just before 7pm to place an order for one Stromboli. The waitress mentioned that she had one that was "ten or fifteen minutes old max". I trusted her on her word....... Went home and the sandwich was rock hard, crunchy and just down right disgusting. $10.15 in the garbage pail with over half the sandwich! The waitress knew she was doing the wrong thing selling the sandwich but did it anyway. Below is Paul who I believe is the owner's response....... and no I will not take him up on his offer for a sandwich nor will I ever eat there again. You can see by the response this issue will arise again like a Phoenix! Enjoy Dave read more

I (Karn) came here PUMPED!! I had just watched the "You Gotta Eat Here" episode and I knew exactly what I was going to order --- A STROMBOLI! Neetu had the wooden oven pizzas on her mind. When we got there I was puzzled because there was no Stromboli on the menu. So I asked the employee about it, she shrugged it off and said they were sold out. I've always heard that you double down on your skills and what you're good at. If your place is known for strombolis, you should never be sold out --- either way, really disappointed in that. It was about 6PM and people were coming in for their dinners, no strombolis were had that night. I ordered the Porchetta Sandwich and an italian beer. Neetu ordered the quattro frommagio (four cheese) pizza. The meat in the sandwich was delicious, a really nice cut of pork. The bread was a bit tough to eat and didn't compliment the meat much. You can't have a tender piece of meat and a tough sandwich, c'mon! The quattro frommagio pizza was disappointing, but this is mainly our fault. It was loaded with blue cheese, and we don't like blue cheese. In our review video (see at bottom of review), neetu compared it to eating a pack of salt ---- it was really salty. The dough base and crust was perfect though, really fluffy and soft...loved that! We came out paying $38, and with a bitter taste in our mouth :P We would come back and try another pizza, and hopefully----just hopefully---there will be some damn stromboli left.

After seeing the ep of "You Gotta Eat Here", I guess I sorta had to eat here?? So on a recent jaunt to B-town, I decided to stop by here to see what the hype was all about. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed for the following reasons: 1. NO STROMBOLI! - As per the show ep where the host stuffs his face with this every Kosher's-worst-nightmare of a sandwich, I order only to find out that they don't have this everyday. :( Next! 2. No gnocchi! - Coming off my Portland Built To Grill-high, I was informed that they also didn't have this on the menu, contrary to their paper menu. 3. Baked goods aren't made in-house. They're brought it. I tried a marshmallow-topped brownie and it was hard, waaay too sweet, & just not good. Who knows how long they've been sitting in that fridge! I think instead of trying to cover all their bases with baked goods/coffee/whatnot, they should just focus on their strengths, homemade pastas/sandwiches. Onto the good stuff... Steak Sandwich was solid, but at $7.75 (naked with just barely any sauce) for a regular, kaiser-sized sandwich PLUS $1 for additional toppings was a bit much, I think. It was good, but nothing better than what you can find at a good, Italian bakery for like ~$6 with free toppings! Curly Mac w/ Pomodoro Sauce - $8 for lunch portion with 1 meatball. Sauce was definitely fresh, with that lovely, bright orangey-red hue. Curly Mac was probably from dry pasta, but it was cooked to perfection, al dente! Portion was good for 2ppl/1 BIG EATER. Meatball was awhight, but it seemed to have a good portion of filler, e.g. breadcrumbs. Girl that I dealt with answered all my questions, to the point which I appreciated. Overall, it's obviously fresher, but a step up from what you would get at a reputable Italian bakery but higher prices. read more

Not so sure why people are so enamored with this place. See a place on TV, then suddenly it must be awesome! Not so much. It's OK. Pretty run of the mill fare, at extremely high prices. The place is an absolute zoo ever since it was on TV but I just don't get the hype. A "small" pasta in tomato sauce is a whopping $8, then they have the nerve to charge an extra $1.50 when they ask you "do you want cheese on it?" Who the hell would say no to that question, and why isn't it built into the price? Parmesan is expensive but it's not THAT expensive, just strikes me as greedy and a slap in the face. They *NEVER* have the more labor-intensive stuff that people want to try, like Stromboli or Porchetta, even though their website boasts about it. They say "oh sorry, we're sold out" but we know damn well they never had it to begin with, or made such a tiny portion of it that it's not nearly enough for their customers. Then once you are already in their shop, and they're out of everything good, you have to settle for their overpriced pasta and sandwiches. Interesting tactic, but all it does is make me want to tell people to not bother with the place. Will give it one or two more shots, and will adjust my review to be more positive if something changes. And if there is no porchetta to be found, or stromboli, or any of the stuff they show on their menu yet NEVER have in stock, then this 2 star review sticks. read more

Ok, something happened today which totally improved my impression of the place, and that is: pizza. They've added a genuine brick, wood-burning Neapolitan style oven. They've made it a big deal since half their menu is now pizza. It's the real deal 900 degrees, ready in a couple minutes type pizza that you need to eat within a few minutes to appreciate. My pizza had basil, andouille sausage and broken meatballs along with tasty marinara and cheese. Delicious, and only critique would be that it could have a little more meat. Great crust as well. The pizza is nearly a '5', but mixed experiences with sandwiches and pasta along with cost leave it overall at a '4'. Still, I'd recommend the pizza with no reservation. I doubt anyone else in Brampton is doing it this way, and probably not many in the GTA for that matter. read more

After work i decided to venture over to that italian place to taste the truth. I have been meaning to come here because my friend swears they have an amazing veal sandwich.I would have to agree! That Italian place is located in a little plaza on the side of Brampton that I never visit. When I walked in I noticed it was pretty busy and I saw an exchanged of nods and smiles between the chef and some customers which lead me to believe they were regulars. The line moved very quickly and the wait time was less than ten minutes. A red headed cashier took my order who was very friendly and recommended the mozzarella and mushrooms to accompany my veal sandwich as I didn't know what to choose. I also ordered a mixed berry Canolli and a brio to wash it all down. While I waited for my food I walked around and noticed the small section of Italian groceries and various kinds of bottled drinks and gelato. The place is very clean and the ac definitely works. My Canolli was delicious and bigger than most canollis. The mixed berries was a nice twist to the traditional filling somewhat reminiscent of strawberry ice cream but not as Sweet. My veal sandwich was obviously made with love. Decent portion of meat. Cheesy mozzarella, delicious sauce and meaty mushrooms. My only complaint is the price. 7.75 a sandwich +1.00 a topping and 1.50 for cheese is somewhat pricey in my book. My entire meal came to a bit over 17. I guess I could omit the cannoli and it would have been 15 for a sandwich and a drink but to me those prices are similar to California sandwich (another place that sells a great veal sandwich) which I don't visit often because I think it's pricey. I guess it depends on who your target demographic is but as a full time student I don't have 17 bucks to spend regularly on a meal. I noticed a lot of business professionals there perhaps on break and maybe that's in their price range. I would suggest a lunch time student meal of maybe a sandwich+ 2 toppings + canned pop for 8 bucks. It just seems more reasonable. But I'm still curious to try other items on the menu. read more

So if you live in Brampton and have not heard of this place or not been to this place then please please please crawl out from where you have been hiding and try this place RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!!!! I can go on for ever about the food here. I have been here MANY MANY times and have never left disappointed. From a veal sandwich to pasta to Italian deli ALL is amazing. I do have to tell you about my most recent experience. They now do stone oven pizza. I was kind of in rush so I asked how long it would take. The oven cooks the pizza at 800 degrees so it takes 90 seconds WOW it takes longer to prep the pizza then to cook it. It was cooked to perfection. Oh and this place was on the food networks You Gotta Eat Here and I have to back them up and say "YOU GOTTA EAT HERE" read more

Coworkers brought me here for lunch today and oh man, is it ever yummy! I'm not usually attracted to dine at standard Italian restaurants. It just isn't something I crave in a general sense. But give me the opportunity for fresh and delicious thin crust pizza, I will choose that every time. I chose the Gorg and Shrooms pizza, which had just the right balance of gorgonzola flavour and olive/mushroom ratio. Not heavily topped, but not skimpy either. I didn't have any red onions to speak of, as listed on the menu, but I found the pizza did not need them. I also scoffed a bit of my friend's extra pomodoro sauce to dip my crust in. Yum! You can tell that is house made. As previous Yelpers have said, very busy place. We got there for 11:30, so we beat the rush. When we were leaving at 12:15, the restaurant was pretty slammed. read more

Awesome food and service! I have been here a number of times and always receive good service. The food is awesome and there is quite a bit of variety too. They also have their pizza ovens imported from Italy, so this is a great option as well. They now have lots of space to eat inside as they have expanded the location. You can't go wrong with whatever you pick, as it is all great! You can now also order online in advance and pick up your order without having to wait, so another great option. Glad that I am in the area and can frequent the Italian Place! read more

I came here with a co-worker for lunch today. He raved about the wood burning oven and how good the pizza was. We arrived prior to 12:00 pm since, in my co-workers experience, the restaurant is very busy at lunch. After a small wait time, we ordered the Gorgo Shroom pizza. This pizza comes with Gorgonzola cheese, mushrooms, red onions and black olives. Finding a seat wasn't difficult for us, but by about 12:15, there was no longer any seats available, so I'm glad we arrived early. The pizza arrived and after taking a photo (for my review), we dug in. Thin crispy crust, mushrooms and the bite of the salty olives are a delicious combination. This pizza puts to shame all the "chain" pizzas, they cannot compare to the flavours of not just the ingredients, but the crust itself. The restaurant is clean, bright and the shelves are stocked with lots of items you buy for home. From pastas to olive oils. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. I plan on returning again and can't wait to try another pizza or maybe a pasta. read more

So I've been to this ace before and the food was ok. The pizza is actually very good. It looks like they recently expanded the sitting area. The pricing is a bit high. The major problem is the staff. The red head girl that eats while working the cash is rude and slow. Must be related because she would be gone a long time ago if I was in charge. Then the other server cut her finger and was licking her finger then handling food. So needless to say I ended up walking out. I won't be going back any time soon. The service is the kind of thing that can kill a place. The food has lots of potential. And the poor guys in the back look like they just want to put out some good food but the girls need to go. So this is part 2 I recently updated my star rating and added this second part of my review. I was contacted by the business management regarding my last review. It was nice to see he cared about the business and the reputation. For starters reviews are just opinions. There are no real rules or guidelines on how to judge a person. There is however a reasonable expectation that a person doing the review is honest and not just out to hurt a business. I'm always honest in my reviews and don't wish any harm to come on a business. So after being contacted I did get the feeling that the person was actually concerned about the service. I believe it's an Italian thing. Feeding people is not just about making money. A bad review is very personal. So I decided to visit the place again. Once again the food is great. You don't just make this kind of pizza by mistake. I have eaten pizza in some of the top places including all over Italy and Naples. This pizza stands up to some of the best pizza you can find. I have eaten my go to sausage sandwich and it was great. There is no question the food is great and if you have the time and patience it's worth the wait. I still think the staff has some attitude though. I recommend training. I would visit again for the food though. Maybe take out. read more

this was one of the best places to eat in Brampton when it first opened. not anymore. pasta that was $15 was basic and the 1 'meatball' you get should be labelled as a breadcrumb ball.

This place is always busy, and I don't think it's purely because they were featured on You Gotta Eat Here! When you walk in, it seems like there's a lot more local workers and residents dining in than "foodies" looking to cross a popular restaurant off a list. I'd say this is a major contributor to the friendly neighbourhood vibe that the restaurant gives off. TIP has a wide variety of Italian cuisine, including pastas, pizzas, and sandwiches. I've tried many of their sandwiches and pizzas, but have yet to try their pasta. I always go back to their veal sandwich - it's delicious. The toppings are all a la carte, so expect to spend anywhere between $10-20 on your meal. Upon entering, you file into a single line for both dine-in and takeout orders, so if you want to beat the lunch rush, I'd try to get in before 12 or after 1pm. Not sure how rush hour affects their dinner schedule but I'd expect more of the same. Believe the hype with TIP, it's the real deal. read more

Overall Experience: 4/5 Heard some good things about That Italian Place Cafe & Eatery, took the drive from Oakville to Brampton to try it. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. I especially enjoyed their pizza. Definitely will come back next time I'm in the area to try other menu items. Food: 4/5 I tried the Italian Plate, which comes with your choice of veal, chicken or sausage, penne Pomodoro, and your choice of 2 veggies (I had roasted red peppers and mushrooms). The pasta and sauce was average, but the veal was very good, great exterior crunch and the flavour was good. I tried a few of their pizzas, all of which were delicious. The crust is thin crust, with the perfect crunch, and made in a wood burning oven. The pasta and pizza, plus two bottled drinks came to about $40. Service: 4/5 Service is great, very friendly. Throughout my time dining in, I could hear the workers conversing with customers, laughing and having a good time. They were very patient with me, as I was having a hard time to deciding what to have. And were willing to help make recommendations as to what I should try. Atmosphere: 4/5 Ambiance is casual, with a mix of personal and communal seating. You order and pay at the counter first, and the food is brought out to your table. Some of the tables were left dirty, otherwise the decor is nice. Tips & Recommendations: -Try the pizza! -Plenty of parking in the plaza read more
