Excellent pizza and gelato, served by a genuinely friendly team. The interior has a great vibe, though there is no seating availabl—perhaps they offer outdoor seating in the summer.

A special shoutout to James for service that truly went above and beyond. He’s a real asset.

Highly recommend this spot for both the quality of the food and the outstanding service.

Good pizza. Thin and delicious. Fresh ingredients. Great portions. I really like how we can choose two different types of pizzas in the same order if you’re doing takeout. Our crust was a little soft, but I imagine dining in it will be crispy. Overall decent pizza.

I love this place so much… It still wins my vote for best pizza place in Ottawa!
I stopped by with my gf for a pizza to lift our spirits after a miserable week… It was of course a great choice. We had the many vegetarian pizza options and a few drinks, then sat out by the patio to enjoy the evening.
Always great pizza, never disappointed!
And even after years of coming here, I still love the pizza by the meter concept

Absolute top notch pizza and awesome shop they have set up. Came in for some slices and it was so good that I had to order more to go! Roman style and sold by the weight when buying slices. Very fair pricing for such quality pizza. Bought their hot honey sauce as well and the best Ive ever had! Indeed has a kick to it! Will be one of my go to’s in Ottawa and can’t wait until the next time I visit!

Met up with a friend for lunch. I absolutely love their pizza! I had a square of the thin crust rossa and a square of thick crust pepperoni pizza. We sat outside as there is a covered patio. After eating, went back inside to try their Gelato and the americano coffee. The coffee was a 10/10! The gelato was delicious. Highly recommend!

I don’t think I’ve ever gone to a spot so good, I immediately can’t wait to go back.

Had the marg and the rossa (dont sleep on this one.) as a Hamiltonian it’s a heavy hitter, and reminder of our famous Roma pizza. Also got 3 suppli (also amazing so much cheese. So much pull amazing)

Also the basil dip.

As soon as I finished I wanted more and can’t wait to go back.

After the pizza went back in for the classic lemon gelato. So good so simple just excellent.

Certainly the best in Ottawa can’t wait to go back.
