The best pizza in Ottawa, and better even than any wood oven pizza I've had in Montreal. I like the fact that they put their energy into good food instead of fancy decor or a pompous menu—when the pizza crust is that perfect, you don't need a lot of words.
I always go to Anthony 's the pizza is amazing just like your in Italy , but the pizza Wine is a must to have with your pizza , you have to eat at Anthony's best pizza in town
Cozy atmosphere and delicious food, friendly staff and great service. I will definitely be back, recommend for anyone looking for a great spot to eat in the city for any occasion. 5 stars.
Very awesome pie. Only real authentic place in Ottawa you can get the best kind of pizza, wood oven pizza.
I am completely in Love with this pizza joint.
It’s the only place that I want to go for pizza except Italy. �

Best pizza in Ottawa!! Also best Margherita pizza in the city outside of Naples, Italy, its birthplace. Nice touch with the Gragnano wine.....excellent with pizza and sooo good!!! Our fave place!! :-)
As a pizza snob, this place is arguably the best pizza restaurant in Ottawa!
Best Pizza ever! Everyone that loves pizza must try!
Great pizza n wings ...had a lunch date with my bf and grandaughter ..nice place..clean ..friendly
Always looking for tasty thin crust pizza and Anthony's delivers. Not fancy, but comfortable and pleasant service. I need to go back and try more varieties.

Great food, great service!! Great to meet a fellow aussie!!!
We thought this pizza was excellent. It took us back to Napoli for sure (which we miss dearly). We are moving to the neighbourhood and imagine we will be regulars!
Pizza is amazing - that dough is very authentic to the Italian one - very good!
Have enjoyed it and will come back. Sandy, the waitress was very friendly :-)
Best pizza in the city and very friendly staff. Very impressed with my entire experience
I've eaten at Anthony's so many times since it opened. My current fav is the pizza patane, but there are no bad pizzas on the menu here. Looking forward to seeing the renovations.

Best pizza place in Ottawa! The dough is amazing!
Anthony's has been named one of the top 12 pizza spots in Canada by the Food Network! The wood fired pizza is amazing. Simple ingredients, the crust is both crisp, chewy, and has the perfect amount of bubbles. Yum!Service could be improved, and the interior could use an update (pretty much all the tables are wobbly).
Amazing wood fired / authentic Italian style pizza. My favorite is the Gianni. I've been several times and to both locations. Hands down the best pizza in Ottawa.
Best Italian pizza in Ottawa and really authentic italian. Dough elasticity, texture, temperature and taste - everything is simply perfect and fully in the spirit of authentic Italian tradition. Restaurant ambiance is also very nice and inviting during all seasons in the year. Excellent place !!
Best pizza in Ottawa, in my humble opinion. I get the Gianni pizza (minus the sausage) and I ask for Rapini instead.
Absolutely unbelievable!
A+
The Rustica pizza is one of the best pizza's I've ever had. Anthony's has become my go-to pizza place since moving to the neighbourhood a couple years ago. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is a great place to stop for a bite on your way home.
Ordered the spicy sausage pizza. Service was fast. Would have liked a bit more sausage on my pie. All said, the pizza was good but not the best I had.
Best. Pizza. Ever.
The Anthony is my fave. Crust is perfection. Authentic wood fire pizza with quality ingredients. Try the pizza wine.
Went to this place with two other friends, and will definitely be back for more. I got the Anthony (mozza, gorganzola, spinach, garlic) and we split the bruschetta. All items were delicious but our pizzas took some time to arrive to our table. It was a nice voluminous crust with a thin middle. The gorgonzola wasn't overpowering and the pizza wasn't soggy in the middle. Would recommend to anybody who is a fan of wood fired pizza.
I’ve never been disappointed with the pizza at Anthony’s and our visit was no exception. The crusts were nice and crispy on the bottom and perfectly chewy on the inside; the perfect vessel for the different, delicious topping combinations. I’ve tried a number of different pizzas from Anthony’s and they have all been amazing.
Their pizzas are amazing! Oddly enough, when I think about their pizzas, what really comes to mind is the pizza bread! It's almost like a naan bread, a little stretchy and wood fire baked. It's just perfect! From my experience, the only somewhat negative comment, is the service. Their not rude or anything, just not inviting or friendly.
Pizza that I could eat everyday! The crust is perfectly hand rolled and cooked to beautifully every time. The Franco is my favourite! Pizza enthusiasts, this is a must try in Ottawa!
I came in with a friend one evening. The waitress was not very attentive, we had to flag her down every time despite sitting next to the counter. She even forgot our beer!
Besides that, the pizzas we ordered very pretty good! The dough had a nice chewy and firm texture. We shared a Margherita and Ortolano. Large portions! We really stuffed ourselves.
We went to the new Anthony in the Glebe. The service from Erica was fun and efficient and the pizza to its reputation. We were there on a Friday night and when we left around 9:00 it became very quiet. Very nice place but the original on Wellington has a better ambiance.
We had dinner 4 of us, first order an appetizer and it was wing the wings lack taste very fade and after that we order 4 different pizza and we share then all.
I have to say it was a WOW, the crust excellent the Franco outstanding the bruschetta again awesome the potato one outstanding and the super was very good.
Definitely a return trip, pricing is adequate and service very good
Four of us visited on Friday July 3 for dinner at 5pm. A few of craft beers on tap with a grapefruit inspired beer from Kichesippi that my buddy ordered but I found a bit sweet so I went with the Beaus. Apps are not the greatest with the chicken wings a bit overdone with no seasoning and the meat balls with no zing but the pizza was very good. The crust is chewy and crispy not that cake like stuff so prevalent in Ottawa. The sauce was authentic Italy I guess to say crushed San Marzano with a bit of salt again simple yet tasty to blend with the other flavors. My only gripe was with the cheese, a bit on the light side. Don't get me wrong great pizza does not need globs of it like we see in this city but Anthony's should put a bit more on theirs. I ordered my Salsiccia with pepperoni and was a bit dismayed with the cut of the pepperoni. The positives outweigh the negatives and we will be back for sure.

My wife and I are always on the lookout for great authentic pizza, and Anthony's certainly has it! It was our first time here, and we ordered the Margherita and the Primavera (we're vegetarian), and they arrived just the way wood-fired pizza should be, thin-crusted and delicious. The servers were friendly, and we even got to know Tony, the owner. Although every seat in the house was full when we arrived so we had to wait a few minutes for someone to leave, service was fast and we were treated like we were the only customers in the place. We live out of town, but we'll make a point of visiting Anthony's every chance we get. People who are used to the standard thick-crust North American pizza smothered in cheese and baked in a gas oven should go elsewhere, but if you like a bit of real wood-fired flavour along with friendly and fast service, and some good local craft beer on tap as well, you'll like this place. Gotta mention the calzones as well, although we didn't have one, my wife was poking me and getting me to look over at the next table where they were enjoying them, gotta give that a try next time :-) Thanks, Tony and team!
Best pizza in Ottawa. Anthony's has been my favourite pizza place in Ottawa for the passed couple of years. I have been here at least a dozen times and it never disappoints.
I usually get the Margherita but I have tried the Quattro stagioni, Canadese in the past and all were very good!
The first thing you notice is the fresh dough which is crispy on the outside soft on the inside with a little chew. Perfect!
The tomato sauce is just how I like it. It's not run through the spice factory but has a fresh tomato flavor with some fragrant basil leaves.
The service is always attentive and spot on!
I suggested Anthony's to many different people and it always gets rave reviews.
Amazing crust! This is by far my favourite pizza in Ottawa. Simple and delicious.
Great food and service!. Awesome dinner and drinks tonight. Was packed and everything was delicious. Kind staff and excellent service. We will be back. Mmmmmm
Wow!!! Nice pizza and the wings Was amazing
I recently returned from a 2 wk trip in Naples Italy where my eyes were opened to a different style of pizza. It is not your typical Pizza Hut, pizza pizza style pie over there, and that is a good thing. When I came back home I immediately searched for a Neapolitan style pizzeria and found Anthony's. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the pizza as it was identical to the pizza I had eaten during my trip in Italy. Can't wait to go back
A little taste of naples in our nation capital.. Don't miss out on ottawas best wood burning pizza. I can't say enough good things about this place, its as good as it gets outside of the homeland.
Enjoy!
Ate at Anthony's now a bunch of times it is without a doubt the best pizza I've had since Italy!!! It's so good that while on vacation it was all I was craving and was my first stop when I got home. If you haven't already tried it stop what you're doing and go there immediately!!!
Pizzaholics won't be disappointed!. Awesome pizza,authentic Italian thin crust!!! also the nutellino is a must try
Finally real italien pizza in ottawa for some people sauce simple but if u go to Italy they all make it that way I will come back 4 sure
Un po Di Napoli ad Ottawa. I came from Italy 2 months ago, I am Italian from Napoli and for sure, i can say is the best pizza in Ottawa. A pizza napoletana in Canada .....SMALL world
Great pizza. I've been here for both lunch and dinner. This is the closest pizza you will find in the city that is authentic Italian. I've read some reviews and was surprised to see people mention "cold", "burnt", "cheap toppings". If anything prosciutto and fior di latte are anything but cheap. The pizza is the best in the city, Moretti is all I need to drink when having a pizza (check). The one thing they can fix is the salads. Need to add a few green options to go with those personal pizzas.
As for ambiance, it is what it is, a pizzeria. Small, not flashy and laid back.
Will keep going back.
Love the food.. I have been to Anthony's 4-5 times in the evenings and I have never been let down. The pizza is always spot on. I always see the same chef in the kitchen dictating the orders. I assumed it is the owner however the server informed me he is just an employee.
The service for the most part is good. Sometimes a little too chatty or arrogant depending on the person but everyone has different personalities.
All in all, love the atmosphere and most importantly the food.
Will be back!
Super Kid Friendly and Yummy!. What can I say -- when mommy comes home tired from work, I lobby for dinner at Anthony's and I hear no complaints. Pizza is truly authentic to what you taste in Italy and the simple menu of pizza, salads, and a few appetizers, satisfies both the F1 generation and the parental units. My personal favorite is the Quattro Stagioni – seasons mixed or separated. Indeed the kids always declare to the waitress when they leave “I love your Pizza”. And I love the House Pizza Wine (Lambrusco? – red sparkling) – a cold crispy start to evening. And the Nutellino dessert is simple yet simply delightful.
Plus you just got to love the staff – some stolen/recruited from Phil’s across the road.
But the best part is the price doesn’t make you feel guilty for skipping your kitchen duty.

Great Pizza!. We decided to stop in at this place to meet with some friends. This place was recommended by a local of the city. When we walked in, we were greeted by a courteous server who told us to choose where we wanted to sit. We chose a table near the front of the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very small, there were only about six or seven tables which were all full when we arrived. Our server came over to take our drink order after we arrived. After receiving our drinks (which came fairly quickly), we ordered our menu items. We first chose an appetizer, which was the meatball and garlic bread combination. The meatball was very good; it tasted as authentic as a real Italian meatball. It had just the perfect amount of sauce (not drenched) and it was nice and hot. After about 15 minutes, we received our pizzas. We ordered two margharita pizzas, one had sausage on it, the other had prosciutto. Both of the pizzas tasted excellent, they were thin crust with the perfect amount of melted cheese and sauce. They were well-done, but not burnt. It was probably the best thin crust pizza outside of Italy that I had ever tasted. It was also a good size; definitely good for sharing between two people. We were surprised with how good the items were, truly authentic Italian! Our server was always attentive and asked us how we were enjoying everything. Even the atmosphere felt very Italian; with the decor and the music, you would have thought you were in Italy. Will definitely return and will recommend to others!
Impressed. After reading some of the reviews I was hesitant but curious. We were impressed and will definitely have their pizza again. Ambiance and romance aren't part of the feel but its more of a place to relax and have a glass of wine after a long day, nice and casual.
Solid pizza. Proper thin crust, closest to Naples (authentic) style I have had in Ottawa. Not a fan of the wings, but its just not my type of wing, thats all. Pizza is not overloaded with toppings, its simple but good, as it should be. Would love if they had a few more wines and beers to chose from. Service we had was very very good, but there were only 6 people in the place.
Will go back for the pizza.
A great pizza -- easily in the top 5 in ottawa.. What really impresses is the service and passion from the owner himself -- thanks Anthony!
Been there five or ten times and always satisfied with the food and service. Great tasting traditional pizza with real tomato sauce and perfectly prepared thin crust.
Reasonable prices too! Our family's go-to place.
Very good food! The service was also friendly and helpful. The pizzas are easy to mix up and substitute toppings (sometimes an extra charge but not expensive). The dining area does get a bit noisy with other people but overall very good value for the food and drinks! I am definitly going to go again.
I went to Anthony last night for my bf birthday who ironically name is Anthony! We went with a larger group as ordered 6 pizzas to share. The pizza was delicious, we ordered 2 margarita, bruschetta, Quattro stagioni, salaisica and ortalano. They were great. Cooked well and were served together, which allowed us to share. The atmosphere was casual but inviting. Great family resturant. We then ordered the nutelino, which is a calzone stuffed with nutella! So sweet but to die for.
Def will go back! Thanks for a great meal!
Great pie and friendly staff. I have been to Anthony's twice, each time for lunch. I had a prosciutto and olive pizza the first time and a Quattro stagioni the second. Each time I was there the pizza was fresh and delicious, and Anthony himself was around to check on our satisfaction. Great spot for a lunch meeting.
Will be back.
Nice atmosphere. I really enjoyed this place: it was tasteful and understated. Restaurants that serve food from a specific (foreign) country like Italy, Greece, or China often go overboard with the tacky decor, to try to pander to North American stereotypes of what other countries are *supposed* to be like, or fall victim to designer-itis, letting some designer decorate in a way that will look good in his/her portfolio rather than actually server the patrons.
Anthony's, on the other hand, was just right, simple and understated, with just a couple of vintage beer ads and football (soccer) pennants showing a connection with Italy. It feels a lot more like a casual neighbourhood place in Italy than like a badda-bim! badda-boom! East Side Mario's (or New York's Mulberry Street) nightmare.
Oh yes, best pizza I've had in Ottawa, too.

Great pizza, disappointing ambiance. I read the Ottawa Citizen review of Anthony's which intrigued me as I live in the area. Our experience was exactly as the Citizen described - very friendly service, terrific thin crust pizza, but the decor and ambiance is horribly lacking. Unfortunately, as a result I would not go back -- it's not a pleasant environment at all -- this place desperately needs to consult an interior designer and invest in the dining experience, not just the food. It was noisy, bland (empty Pellegrino bottles at the front door as the first hint of decor?!) and cold - really not suitable for either a romantic dinner or a fun girl's night out. There is way too much competition from restaurants nearby with a warm, friendly vibe (think Hintonburg Public House, Tennesy Willems, Back Lane Cafe) for this to be competitive. Food-wise, the menu lacked imagination and the pizzas were odd in having the toppings in separate mounds (all olives in one corner, all prosciutto in the other etc). Also, the tomato mozzarella salad was not up to par ... tasted like very cold, tasteless tomatoes from a big box grocery store -- hardly red at all... quality of ingredients was lacking.
I really hope Anthony's can build a successful business around the great pizza -- I think it will take a real investment in the decor (that looks and feels exactly like a boxy former Pawn shop, with not so much as a curtain or painting on a wall) and they should also make the menu more interesting and offer the kind of ranges of wood oven pizzas that we come to expect among other similar restaurants.
Wow, so so deliscious! Super cost effective and friendly! Instantly in love! See you all soon :)
My favourite pizza in Ottawa. The Gianni is my favourite but I recommend getting it with extra salami. Neapolitan pizza is all about the dough and I think Anthony’s really knows their stuff. The dough is chewy and salty. Haven’t had a better version in Ottawa or Toronto.
Very nice authentic pizza place of ottawa. I would like to start by saying pizza like this will always be better when going to the location. Very friendly atmosphere and great vibe for this restaurant. Even though I got the canadese you can immediately understand this is not some drunk greasy typical Canadian pizza hahah I categorized it as fancy night date style pizza. I'm more of a 19 star scale pizza guy and I'd give this a 7.6. One of the better ones In ottawa. Definitely go check these guys out!
Really enjoyed some nice artisan pizzas from Anthony’s. The texture and flavor profiles were nice and light. I ordered the Rustica, which comes with cherry tomatoes, Arugula, shaved Parmesan, and prosciutto. The toppings combined tasted really nice together. Sometimes when I am craving for a non-greasy pizza, this is one of my go-to places in the Hintonburg neighborhood! :)
The pizza we had here was fantastic! The tomato sauce and pizza dough were on another level.
Order:
Margherita La Bufala ($23.00 each) x1
- Great quality pizza
- Excellent tomato sauce
- Great quality mozzarella
- The pizza dough was great and had a slight chew to it
Atmosphere and Site:
- Lots of tables indoors
- Nice atmosphere with an open kitchen
Service:
- The pizza was ready to go in 5-10 mins
The delicious smell from outside the restaurant pulled us in, and we’re glad it did! It was delicious! It’s a cozy place, good music too!
best pizza and service in town! I didn't think it could get any better, but they recently updated their menu and everything they added is top notch. I also don't have enough nice things to say about the waitresses and everyone who works there. if I'm lucky enough to see the owner when I go in he is always super friendly and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is having the best experience. a must visit place!
