Cumberland Pizza

9.3
Pizza · Sandy Hill / Rideau Street East · $

Pizza is the center of gravity here, with Cumberland Special, Greek, Meat Lovers, Vegetarian, Combination, and Sujuk pies giving the menu a clear reason to exist beyond generic takeout. The house-name pizza is the best first order because it shows the generous topping style immediately.

4

Bread & Sons

8.7
Artisanal Bakery · Bank Street / Centretown & Glebe · $

Bread & Sons currently makes its strongest case through a short Saturday pizza menu: thin-crust pies with roasted vegetables, basil oil, feta, olives, and mushroom sauce. It feels less like a token bakery add-on and more like the reason to time a visit.

5

Giulia

9.0
Italian · Elgin Street Corridor · $$

Giulia earns this through a pizza program that feels specific rather than generic: Sweet Tony, Spicy Clarice, Margherita, and the supporting crust sauces give diners several clear ways into the oven-led menu.

6

Ember

8.2
Mediterranean · Downtown Ottawa Core

Wood-fired pizzas are one of Ember's clearest anchors, especially the beef cheek pie with prosciutto meat sauce, braised beef cheek, mushrooms, rosemary, and reggiano. The pizza path is specific enough to plan the meal around it rather than treating it as a backup order.

7

Spark Beer & Pizza

8.9
Craft Brewery · Chinatown (Somerset Street West)

The pizza list has its own character: 10-inch West Centretown style pies, 24-hour fermented dough, St Albert mozzarella, Vietnamese parsley finishes and specific builds that read as Spark rather than generic taproom food.

8

Dominion City Brewing Co.

9.0
Craft Brewery · Trainyards Retail District · $$

Stubby's gives the taproom a real pizza identity, led by the hot-honey Stubby's Special and a detailed Mushroom White Pie.

9

Del Piacere

9.2
Italian · Little Italy / Preston Street · $$$

Pizza can be the meal here. Margherita, Hawaiana, Genovese pesto, and Prosciutto E Funghi give groups enough variety to build around pies instead of pasta.
