    Just moved to the area I took my son and bf here and we had the Party Size pizza. Great price and the pizza is top notch. I also bought her homemade hot peppers in a Mason jar - they are delicious. I will be back. Also the slices are a great deal - 5 bucks for a pepperoni pizza slice and a pop. Also the slices are amazing and big. Just stopped in again and had a slice and pop, the lady gave me a free slice... best service!

    What a beautiful little gem in the middle of no where. Here you will find Nonna who will lovingly make you some of the best Italian food in the area. So far have tried the Veal sandwich, Chicken sandwich and spaghetti with meatballs and all were amazing. The pizza is amazing too.

    Wow, you gotta'eat here! A mother's home cooked meals, that's exactly what you'll get here. Doesn't matter if it's the pizza, the lasagna, cheesy garlic bread, or the veal sandwich, you'll be happy. The tasty sauce is wonderful. The ingredients are the secret to this 25+ year establishment. VEAL SANDWICH: I had the veal sandwich a few day's back and I was impressed, so I came back for their pizza and lasagna. Some of the edges were over fried but it still tasted great. The veal was soft and tender with just the right amount of crust. The bun was super soft. Not chewy at all. PIZZA: The pizza was great. All the ingredients are super fresh. The pepperoni and bacon were not overly salty, which is key to balancing the other flavors. I had extra cheese, pepperoni, bacon, garlic, and extra sauce. The parmesan (ask for it) was really fresh and authentic. For me, the extra cheese could have used a tad bit more, I should have asked. The chef cares, so make sure you let him know how you want it, he'll cater to your needs with love. LASAGNA: My wife had the lasagna. When I asked her how it was she replied, "nice, tasted homemade." She's super picky so I was surprised when she liked it. Huge portion. GARLIC CHEESY BREAD: The cheesy garlic bread was loaded with cheese and was so satisfying. The food here will hit the spot. Give them a try and taste the difference. Will be a regular.

    I’ve been going here since elementary school, their food has always been very consistent and amazing. The best item to get is their veal sandwich, it’s nothing but perfection. Don’t forget to ask for the whole sandwich toasted.

    Ive eaten veal sandwiches everywhere in the GTA and this is the by far the best! Everything is made fresh to order which makes the big difference in quality. The friendliest family owns the place which also adds to the experience. Must try for everyone!

    I found this place after a hospital visit at Southlake. Had a slice of pepperoni and have been hooked since. If you like NY style pizza, then this place is definitely for you. Crispy, light and well seasoned pizza at a good price. Great family who runs the place. I live in Richmond Hill but I pop in every time I visit the area. I personally wish the crust was a bit fluffier and less dense but all around amazing pizza!

    I'm from Ottawa and was visiting my mom at the hospital. I went to check these guys out for their veal sandwich (I'm originally from Toronto and needed my fix). Not only was I impressed with the veal, but the owners were the best!! Their debit machine was not working when I went to pay, so they told me to enjoy the meal and if i was ever in town again I could pay then. Well I'm in town again and I'm definitely going to take care of these lovely people and get another fix of an amazing veal sandwich!

    Ever wished to have a veal sandwich made by an authentic Nona....well heres the spot. The hot peppers 🌶 they sell in the jar full of flavor and not as hot as I hopwd, however it makes up for it in taste. Use them for all my cooking / pasta / pizza / and the oil goes great with many dishes. The chicken sandwich i didnt find as great as the veal however it has been a while so i may have to revisit the chicken sandwitch again before I influence decisions between that and the veal. But outstanding sandwitches. Pizza the dough was fantastic but there are many great pizza spots around including papillon which I would suggest to go if your looking for a great tasting pizza its right beside. Love the owner here and very friendly clean and feels like home 🏡

    Family run takeout pizza joint. Prices are good, topping choices are easy, and the final product is very tasty. A small with mushrooms and black olives took about 20 minutes. Seems to be popular with the locals.

    Great little pizza place. Authentic, home made veal sandwiches and simple bit yummy pizza. You may have to wait a bit for your order, but it's worth the wait!

  • 3/5 Harry F. 1 year ago on Google
    In spite of what their website says, there is no delivery. Was ready for pick up when I got there. We ordered a hybrid pizza with half per my wife's request for toppings and the other half mine. My half was very good; my wife did not like her half at all. Takeout only. I don't like being asked to specify a tip when no service is provided, but I hear this is more common these days.

    Delicious scratch-made pizzas, panzarotti, lasagna, and roasted chicken wings! Even better that it’s a little multi-generational family-run business so you know they’re doing it right. Thanks for a terrific meal!

    I am so glad I randomly found this place. Such a little gem with the nonnas cooking. Danny is wonderful too. We got a veal sandwich and a fried panzo. The tomato sauce is so authentic and veal crispy but still so tender! I just moved to Aurora and will definitely be picking up take out once a week! Thanks so much guys 👍🏼

    My husband and I went here for the first time, and we both had the veal sandwich. We both agreed that it was the best veal sandwich we've ever had. The sandwich was big, with big flavor, and the price was reasonable. The owners were so nice and friendly and we had a very nice conversation with them. We will definitely be coming back to try more food.

    Our go-to for Pizza. Highly recommend!! We moved to Ottawa and miss this place so much. So we always make sure to stop in for a few pies when in the area visiting.

    Visited for the first time Very friendly and cool staff. Pizza was out in no time and tasted amazing! The crust, the cheese, and the sauce all did it for me. Will definitely go back for more

😠 If you look through my reviews over the years, all but a couple are 5 stars. I understand things aren't perfect anywhere you go. I do like to throw 5 stars when they are deserved. We have been Montana fans for years, its a safe pic for us never having a bad meal. This weekend we were out of town...
