    What a GREAT deal, large pizza with several toppings for under 16 dollars. The deluxe special was worth it. The owners were really nice on the phone and in person. The pizza was delicious and ready when they said it would be. Very nice Italian family. I would definitely go again when I'm in London, you should check it out and like my review of you go.

    Cash only with very reasonable price. A large deluxe pizza for only 13.95 after tax. Chatting with papa while waiting for pizza and he just give me a bread for free. Definitely should try if you like real Italian style pizza

    I can't believe I've lived in London most of my life, in Central London at that, and never tried Papa's Pizza before. Neither had my wife. Well, we've had pizza from Papa's twice now and the second time confirmed our first impression... Papa's Pizza is what pizza should be. They make one damned fine pie! I'd actually gotten rather sick of pizza for a while. Everytime there's a function at work or friends get together and decide to order delivery, it's almost always from one of the big chains. To me, pizza from the big chains always taste the same... like greasy, bland cardboard no matter what toppings you add. On impulse, my wife and I tried Papa's and I can honestly say it's going to be our bi-weekly treat. It's great pizza and the restaurant is family run by great people. I'm just sorry we never got to meet "Papa" but his legacy in London is in good hands.

    Excellent pizza! Such a cool old school place. Quality ingredients and delicious. Perfect experience. I have no idea how they even did this for $16. What a value! Threw in a loaf of bread too!👍👍

    Best pizza in the city, hands down. I'm glad all the regular spots I order from were closed Monday, otherwise I would not have found this place. The price and the fresh ingredients... to die for. The crust was crisp and toppings were phenomenal; When I say best value.. I mean it. Extremely affordable and outstanding service. Love this place. This is now my new spot for pizza. Nothing compares.

    My wife and I were out looking into a new pizza restaurant yesterday, because we're really not impressed with any of the pizza restaurants out in the west end. We decided to check out Papa's Pizza & Restaurant due to its 5 star rating, so glad we did! As soon as we entered the restaurant we were greeted by Tony the owner. What a fantastic guy! We ended up talking with him for about 20 minutes while our order was being made. He told us about the history of the restaurant that his father "Papa" started in 1972. Tony, is one of those guys you meet, it just seems like you have known him for ever. When we got home couldn't wait to try our large order. The panzerotti was the best we have ever had loaded, huge and of course deep fried! No wonder it's so popular and the marinara is delicious! 12.95 for the deluxe you can't beat it! Our next taster was the 16 inch deluxe pizza, it was loaded and fantastic pizza and crust one of the best pizzas we have had in a very long time 16.95 take out special! Our last one was Tony's, mother's lasagne that she makes from scratch. It was so good, definitely get that again 11.95! We highly recommend Papa's Pizza and Restaurant! The prices are very reasonable, it is cash only so remember that. Papa's is only open Saturday 4-10 Sunday and Monday closed Tuesday 4-8 Wednesday 4-8 Thursday 4-8 and Friday 4-10. Cya soon Papa's Pizza & Restaurant!

    Best pizza ever. Such great value and such an awesome family run business. You cannot beat their deluxe and the garlic bread.

    First time ordering from here and it was fantastic! Our food was hot even after driving home, it tasted AMAZING, Service was very welcoming, and the price was very reasonable. Loved the atmosphere as soon as I walked in and was greeted with a hello from everyone. There aren't many restaurant owners/workers that put this much into their business around anymore. I will be forever ordering pizza from Papas Pizza from now on. Thank you so much!

    🍕 Just had the most incredible experience at this charming pizza spot! The handmade pizza was a delightful surprise – the cheese was of excellent quality, and the homemade tomato sauce was bursting with flavor. What truly amazed me was the restaurant's rich history, standing strong for 51 years. In my opinion, this is hands down the best pizza joint in town! 🏆🎉

    In London for The Brier and we googled for pizza places near us. Papa’s Pizza came up with great reviews so we walked there. The best pizza we have had in 30 years! Homemade crust that was cooked perfectly. Just delicious. You won’t be disappointed.

    We ordered pizza, garlic bread and panzarottis. They were all amazing!! I have never had better in my life, everyone in my family enjoyed every bite and said it tasted fresh, authentic and just overall delicious. On top of the perfect taste, the price was well worth what we received and the portions were astonishing. Not only was the food amazing so was the service, from the phone call the the order pick up everyone was so kind, welcoming and a pleasure to interact with. I do not live in the area but we visit often and we will be sure to visit this treasure often. Thank you for the perfect dinner and service!

    London staple! This place doesn't mess around. Cash only, pickup only, and awesome pizza! They've been around for a long time and you can tell why. People love this place, and for good reason.

    I already got the authentic Italian pizza I was looking for in town. Also, the prices are very acceptable. The only thing is that the store's hours are very limited because it is staffed by its owners and they have no employees. I recommend calling so that you don't wait for the pizza if you are going to order it to go.

    Growing up in Aylmer, I always had Peters Pizza growing up. Moving to London, Papas is truly an authentic italian pizza establishment. I miss this place so much, I live in BC now and i’m only here for a short visit. I cannot wait to walk in and eat where the legend himself would great me as a neighbour with warm fresh bread, and a warm sweet smile. Thanks for being a staple and fixture to the community. - one of the people who will remember him forever.

    If you are a fan of old school pizza, this is the place. Ordered a Deluxe and a salad. Very fresh. Will be back.

  • 5/5 Graham C. 4 months ago on Google
    Can't BELIEVE we hadn't tried Papa's until now. Will definitely return. A very generous and tasty pizza for the price. Thick dough and generous toppings, cooked properly. Reheats beautifully, so buy extra for leftovers :) Service was kind and welcoming and while it's not fancy, the place has tons of charm and character. And a surprising amount of group seating, belying its appearance from the outside.

    Papas pizza understands that giving customers value is an investment that has big returns. Never again will I spend 35 dollars on 2 value meals at Wendy's or any other chain. But I will continue to frequent Papas pizza. Cheers Tony!

    Good food, generous portions, old school taste. I have been enjoying their food for over 40 years. Why not try a take out pizza. Yummy.

  • 5/5 Scott P. 6 months ago on Google
    Place is amazing. Love the character inside. The panzorotti is the best I’ve ever had in my life. Chat up the older Italian men inside for a good story! Love this spot!

  • 5/5 Mike S. 7 months ago on Google
    Update: Just had the panzerotti for the first time, one word...amazing! A definite must try. For as many years as I can remember, I have seen this place and have never tried it. That was a mistake. The pizza is fantastic and the price and service is great. I will definitely be a regular customer.

  • 5/5 Robt M. 7 months ago on Google
    Would say the BEST take out in London. Excellent sauce, and even my wife gave good comment. End of arguement.

  • 5/5 Chris Crux (. 2 years ago on Google
    Always consistently delicious. You can not beat the quality for the price. One of the best pizza places in town.

  • 5/5 Brenna W. 11 months ago on Google
    New to town and this is definitely my new favorite pizza place! Pizza was delicious!! With generous and fresh sauce and toppings, and the dough also had a great flavor! Customer service was also amazing, the gentleman there made us feel so welcome. Overall 10/10 an absolute gem 🙂

  • 5/5 Tyler S. 1 year ago on Google
    Tried Papa's last week on a recommendation from a fellow tradesman. Liked it so much I had it again tonight. Great crust, delicious toppings and so. much. cheese. Will definitely be ordering again in the future!

  • 5/5 Barrett N. 1 year ago on Google
    This place has deep roots in London, and everything you’ll want from a neighbourhood pizza joint: nostalgic atmosphere, owners that feel like they’re close friends right away, very reasonable pricing, and of course fantastic pizza. A word of warning: the panzarotti are a lot bigger than you might expect!

  • 5/5 Mr S. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is unreal! Went here and ordered takeout then went to the weed store to show my 2 friends who haven’t seen one yet! After went to a bar for half price wine and played janga!! Never lost! Anyway pizza was unreal but the star of the show was the panzo!! Papa was so nice and gave us a free loaf of bread and was really kind 10/10 recommend! “I find your lack of faith disturbing” - Darth Vader

    I recently tried Papa's Pizza and I have to say, it was a pretty good experience. I ordered the large deluxe pizza for just 17 bucks, and it was definitely worth it. The toppings were fresh and plentiful, and the crust had a nice crispy texture. One thing to keep in mind, though, is that they only accept cash. So make sure you remember to bring some with you. Aside from that, the atmosphere of the place was really cozy and welcoming. They have nice furniture and cool old school paintings all over the place, almost like a mini museum,It's a family-run business and the runner, along with his daughter, were both really friendly and outgoing. It added a nice personal touch to the whole experience. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out Papa's Pizza if you're in the area and looking for some delicious old school pizza at a reasonable price.

  • 5/5 Vladimir H. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious pizza. Amazing crust. I usually get a dip with my pizza but the guy told me”We don’t carry dip because this is what pizza used to taste like”. I like that and he’s right you don’t need the dip! Will be going back for sure!

    I’ve been going to Papa’s as early as I can remember with my family growing up. I hadn’t gone in quite some time but went back again last week and the pizza was amazing. Best pizza in town and I’m coming there again all of the time lol. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE.

    I went to join my friends Jean and Bob for some pizza at Papa's and it was delicious as usual. But the other treat was seeing papa who is looking amazing and his lovely family who make the experience enjoyable and welcoming thank you Mary M.
