Ordered over the phone, the woman who answered the phone had a hard time understanding what my order was, but she was still nice. Upon picking up my order I asked the gentleman to add a dipping sauce, he says "no, that's not included" I had to ask a second time so that I could get a dipping sauce fed to my bill. When I got home to open to the pictures included. The pizza was so thin that all of the toppings fell off as soon as I tried to pick a piece up. So I called to explain my frustration and without hesitation they told me the would give me a full refund if I brought it all the way back there. All and all, their customer service is decent but the food itself was VERY disappointing.

My first time at this place. Not a bad pizza for the Hammer. When I first walked in I was…read moreexpected to be disappointed because I saw that the owners and pizzaiolo were Vietnamese and I didnt think the pizzas were gonna be that great, because, how many good pizza joints do you know that are owned by Asians besides the cheap dollar slices joints lol? To my surprise the pizza tasted great. The toppings were fresh, red sauce not too salty and not too sweet, applied in the right amount, cheese had good stretch which means they are using aged mozzarella. The crust was light, crispy, and had a nice brown on it, but a little on the thick side and could use more charring and chew. They baked the pie on a pan rather than on the oven, which is a no no. However, the taste of the pie reminded me of old school pizzas in Toronto. I will definitely come back for more if I am in the area.

The one pizza place I will go out of my way for!!! Took my friends here and ordered for pickup…read more Over the phone, they really greeted us with warmth and kindness, even personalized it by repeating my friend's name back to her a few times. We ordered the 18" spicy sausage pizza which is their larger size, and it was enough for 4 of us to have 2 slices each. We all collectively agreed that it fed us contently but because of how good it tasted- we could go for another slice or two each! Theyve also got a handful of dipping sauces available, and we got two garlic dill dips, not too much dill, and paired perfectly with the spicy sausage! Walking up to the pizza shop itself, you could smell the wafts of pizza from around the corner. The restaurant inside has a decent amount of tables if you want to dine-in, though most do takeout. Because we were taking it back to campus to eat it, it wasn't as fresh as we'd hoped for but you could still taste how GOOD IT WAS! Will still be one of my top reco's for hammy food! If you are a fan of the NY style pizza, definitely need to stop by.

I kept hearing about how good the wings are at this place so we finally tried them & they are as…read moregood as people say. Delivery arrived quickly & everything was very hot. The wings are huge, meaty and delicious. Not overcooked like other places in town. The pizza was pretty good too.

They are breaded and saucy so if you like a small, unbreaded wing, they are not for you! Be forewarned though...if you like hot wings, the medium sauce will probably suffice!

The pizza at Rustic Slice is not good. It's f***ing amazing! Probably one of the best pizzas I've…read moreever had. I had a quick chat with Reza and Anna who were very proud of their product and explained how everything is done on premises from scratch - the dough, sauces, etc. They turned out to be owners of the place which explains the passion - an essential ingredient in cooking. Two concerns: with the price of $14-15 for a medium pizza the place is a bit spendy but you get what you pay for - and much, much more. Second - I would like to see regular forks and knives instead of the plastic ones - definitely not a deal breaker for me. I'm not coming to Kitchener too often but I will make sure to visit Rustic Slice again next time I'm there.

We were recommended this place from a friend that lives in the area and they didn't steer us wrong! The pizza was above average with average to maybe even below average pricing. We ordered 2 medium 3 topping pizzas. The pizza had a great sauce, not too salty like at some places. The crust was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheese was stretchy and delicious! Would highly recommend this place! We're lucky that it's close enough that we can walk to it...you know...to work off the calories before we add them right back in!

Ooh la la, all I can say is MIAM MIAM (le français pour yummy)…read more On a return trip back to the homeland of Hamilton, my friends who have recently relocated back to the downtown had been raving about Cowabunga. I was honestly reluctant to dine here, since pizza normally is my least-desired cuisine, and, with former awful experiences at the restaurant that occupied this space before - I was so meh. Thank goodness I let them convince me otherwise! We were so lucky to snag the last few slices of what we wanted, since there were several big events nearby bringing thousands of people into the area. Literally, five guests after us were dinied slices! I was surprised how perfect the dough was cooked, and I really loved the spicy honey that coated the slices I purchased. Since Cowabunga was known for their "best slice in the world of 2024" I also had to purchase one of those T-shirts to honour the experience. There is a decent amount of indoor seating, but, in summer one should definitely sit outside. Tables move through rotation quickly since slices are most of the appeal, so you should be able to sit somewhere at any time.

We had to make a pit stop in Burlington so we came here to try this place…read more It is voted the world's best cheese pizza and we were curious to how good it was. The place itself has a take out and dine in area. It was quite busy during lunch hour. So best to avoid the rush if you can. The pizza itself was made from a sourdough, it didn't taste starchy to me. It was really thin and crispy, almost too well done, as it got really dry and cardboard like. We had the margarita pizza and the cowabunga pizza. They were both okay. The cowabunga pizza was too heavy on the gochujang, it was too over powering. The margarita pizza was good, it had spicy pesto on it. Quite cheesy. We couldn't leave without trying out the pizza slice. The crust was better than whole pizzas we got. But it was not overwhelming. The service was good. Our server was pretty attentive when he could. He even gave us a complimented slice.

Delivery pizza…read more Very good pizzeria, with some very quirky and sometimes, maybe, questionable? combos. But the taste was great, and the brick oven really shines. Pizzas are on the smallish side, I guess, if you are used to chains. I ordered six mediums, and they were probably almost a small Pizza Nova or Pizza Pizza. Just something to keep in mind. But the taste was delicious.

Hamilton is filled with fantastic local pizza joints, so when I heard that Flora was the *best*…read morepizza in town, I had to check them out. Nestled on a side-street off busy James St N as you travel up the mountain, you'll find Flora on the ground floor of a older residential-looking building. The first thing you'll notice walking inside is actually how small this place is - the pizza ovens and prep area take up most of the space. But there's something incredibly charming about that because you have high hopes that if they dedicate that much space to food prep, it's gotta be good. Happy to report that their pizza lives up to the hype! Pizza is baked in a sheet-pan with a semi-thick crust that's soft yet crispy at the edges. Crust is on the thicker side relative to some Italian restaurants and pizza chains, but the composition of the dough makes it work because it has a bite but not too tough/thick where it gives your mouth a workout. I also loved their fresh tomato sauce. It balanced so well with the cheese and toppings, giving the pizza a nice freshness so that it didn't feel as heavy. My only critique was that I wanted more basil on my pizza (I love me some basil!)
