  • The best pizza in town! A no-miss pizza experience for the Gods here! The famous well-guarded secret pizza crush recipe is made with eggs in it and has its well-known typical yellowish colour... crispy, just perfect with all the fixings. Sometimes you have to wait in a lineup but it is worth the wait. They have been in business for a long time and many customers tell them they should expand but they want to stay small... I hope to see this business flourish for a long time yet!

  • Excellent, fast service. We were seated quickly despite a waiting line. They're great with families. Food came fast and was delicious. The crust is good and unique. Awesome atmosphere. If they were licensed we'd never leave. So full ... so happy ...so sober!

  • Order: Pepperoni Pizza and drinks

  • I was in a soccer group of 30 from Dallas that went to this pizza restaurant last Friday. We called enroute to let them know we were coming and by the time we got there (less than 10 minutes later), they had set aside all the tables that we needed.
    When we walked in, some members our group were concerned that they were going to have to wait a long time for their food and they almost left (we had eaten at Oregano's in downtown Ottawa the night before and had to wait over 90 minutes for our food) They could not have been more wrong.
    The service was very good--the staff was very friendly and attentive. The pizza was delivered to our tables very quickly---maybe a 10 minute wait and it was very very good. The crust was thick and delicious and the sauce was just right. The toppings were fresh and plentiful too. The prices were very reasonable and if we lived in Ottawa, we would definitely return. I located this restaurant from Trip Advisor reviews and it was definitely a big hit with our group.

  • Alright I've lived in Ottawa my whole life, I'm 23 now. I heard about this place about 3 years ago and learned its been family operated for as long as its been there, and my girlfriends mom used to go there when she was kid. Anyways me and my girlfriend we go there all the time, it is the best pizza ever. The crust is amazing, and I dunno what they do that makes it so good, but its not like any other. I will bring my kids there if I have some one day, so they can taste REAL pizza! I would take this over chicago pizza or nyc pizza any day (Even tho nyc pizza is awesome too!)

    I try to go to Louis as much as possible, its worth the trip out.

  • This place is amazing, i am not one to eat pizza crust, however, this one's different. They use real ingredients, alot of cheese, and well it just tastes better than any other pizza i've had, and i've had my share of them.
