I always feel very comfortable & welcomed here, & it’s incredibly satisfying knowing I’ll be served food made with such freshness, detail, & love. The friendly & very respectful staff who greets & takes my order, truly elevates the experience. Pie Central is the best in the city, & I’ve tried them all. This gem is not to be missed. If you’re downtown & craving a meat pie, cheese pie, or a healthy fresh smoothie, you cannot overlook Pie Central (305 Rideau). My go-to is the cheese pie with extra cheese & lemon spice, plus an occasional smoothie, always amazing.

The pizza is amazing, light and crispy dough, great tomato sauce and lots of cheese. Highly recommend.

They have a nice range of food and drink options to choose from.

The Dubai chocolate I had here is actually one of the better ones I’ve had, which is surprising because of how it’s presented so unassumingly. Looks can be deceiving!

Definitely worth a stop of you like sweets!

Had a little take out pie with my sister, she recommended this place as she comes down here frequently! And these guys have great options and perfect tasting pies!! Service was great, we were greeted immediately and orders were taken right when we walked in, the guy who served us was friendly and kind!

I ordered the spinach with feta pie! Fresh flavours and ingredients, I loved how the crust was thin (I am very much one for thin crust!) and wasn’t doughy at all!! I feel like there was a decent about of filling in there, it wasn’t too stuffed nor was it skimped out.

Highly recommend coming down here and getting some pie if you’re in the mood! Great service, great food, great spot in the down town if you want to go exploring after!

This place is simply excellent. Great fresh food for a good price, friendly staff, excellent selection of tasty beverages, including coke and Pepsi in glass bottles. This is my go to for a quick affordable meal on Rideau St. I saw another review saying the prices are higher than some other pie places. It’s true you can find cheaper pies, but they won’t be as good or the portion will be smaller. Also it’s right downtown so the rent is higher. Regardless, it’s a fantastic value for the quality and portion size.
