This outlet of the Colonnade close to the Nigerian High Commission is a popular spacious and bright spot with its signature salads and pizzas such as the pictured Mediterranean Pizza + Italian Salad
If you're going to have a pizza night, you would be crazy to get pizza from anywhere else in the city. My mother and i used to go here 35 years ago. Now my wife and i can enjoy it every couple months. We have gone back to places like Gabriels and every time we say "we made a mistake, should have had Colonnade".
Pickup staff are amazing and make you feel like family.
I go for the pizza and the pizza is wonderful. I order consistently the Mediterranean...as this the one I have settled on that pleases me consistently the most. Always always good. Of the twenty years plus in Ottawa, I have only had one or two less than great...that is pretty amazing...Lots of great toppings...This is Good Pizza!
Whenever I visit Ottawa this is my first stop. The pizza is thick with the cheese on top of the toppings. Fantastic dough. I prefer picking it up and eating at home so the pizza has had time to settle and cool a bit as its easier to handle and somehow even more delicious.
Undoubtedly the best pizza in the city. You can always count on their superior recipes. Nothing has changed since we began eating there forty years ago. The family-owned restaurant staff strive to make everyone feel welcomed. It is always a treat to dine here.
This is the place to go when you're craving pan-style pizza that is thick, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. The ingredients are tucked nicely under a crunchy delicious layer of cheese. The edge crust is very crispy and flaky, but still a good consistency. Brings me back to my childhood memories of what pizza should taste like.
I ordered a meat-lover's pizza to go, with garlic dips. I had been here previously, but not in years, and felt it deserved another go. I am a pretty loyal Gabriel's fan.
The cheese was crispy on top, yet gooey and melted underneath the surface. I found the toppings were primarily concentrated on the center of the pizza, and near the edges on some slices there was nothing but cheese.
The crust is perhaps some of the best I've ever had. Nice and crispy with just the right amount of chew.
The toppings were high quality, as was the sauce. I could see the full pieces of real bacon strips, and taste the anise in the sausage. Not optimal that they were all so clustered though.
The garlic dip is made in house I believe, and has a slightly sharper taste than most. I liked it, however.
The pizza was very salty though, is my only real complaint. I would definitely order from them again, but I don't be switching 100% away from Gabriels.
One of the best pizza places in Ottawa. The interior may need a face lift but the pizza is great. They are always happy to see us!
This is not a thin crust healthy gluten free type of pizza place so be warned. It's Italian/Canadian style thick crust with lots of cheese, fully loaded and very tasty.
My favorite is the meat lovers!
The pizza here is to die for, although I prefer getting either just regular cheese or pepperoni just because it gets pretty messy having all the toppings cooked under the cheese. Delicious either way though!
Perfect spot for an easy group dinner. Showed up with a group of ten and no reservations and were impressed all around. Service was pleasant and attentive. My father in law (paying the bill) remarked how affordable the meal was. Make no mistake - diners looking to feel special and enjoy some ambiance - this is a bare bones dining experience. Leave your pretensions at home and enjoy quality pizza and well priced booze. Someone in our party ordered the French onion soup which looked Delicious! Senior citizens may smell funny but they know good value. Any place with lots of seniors is a go!
Drove out of my way to get their gluten free pizza and they did not disappoint! The woman who took my phone order was very sweet and helped me understand what ingredients I could and couldn't have with my allergy. Always a delicious splurge if you're in the area.
Colonnade Pizza has consistently served up some of the best Za in town, been coming here for over 25 years. Love how the crust crunches and how it’s never soggy, always tasty. I would highly recommend as a must try for any pizza aficionados. Hats of to the staff and the guys behind the ovens that make it rain deliciousness 💯 today I went with the Sante Fe 😋
When the owner welcomes you and comes at your table to give a fistbump and the food is really delicious, the service really fast at lunch hour , yes I totally recommend

Great family pizza with great prices. Their pizzas all come with a generous helping of cheese which everyone loved. Great variety of toppings. I was happy the sauce wasn't sweet and the dough and crust were soft and crunchy, respectfully. The only thing I would request to get the 5th star next time is some additional salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, and some oregano sprinkled over the sauce before the toppings are added. Their impeccable timing for my pick up of pizza and wings for a party of 30 people was professional and courteous. Next time we are in Ottawa, we'll definitely order from here again!
Very good pizza - loads of meats and the cheese was phenomenal.
The pizza was awesome! And I had pasta that tasted so good! The food was fresh and the server was kind and patient. I will definitely be going back.
