This was a great spot to stop and stay warm during the winter. Our pizza was delicious. Crust was thin and crispy but still had a nice chew. We got the Tuscan pizza and the Meat Lovers pizza, both were well seasoned and topped generously. I loved their house made hot sauce. It was not overly "hot", and had a well seasoned, fresh, and 🌶️ pepper taste. Great spot, friendly host and wait staff. Cups were a little spotted and stained but it wasn't too much of a bother.
This cute restaurant is exactly what you would expect from a major tourist spot: efficient, affordable, and fast-paced. As an Ottawa resident for a while, it was my first time visiting a restaurant right in the ByWard Market. We went there on New Year’s Eve 2025. The service was efficient, and the servers were friendly; however, despite having our own space, the atmosphere felt rushed because of the New Year. Even around 10 PM, people were still coming in. I wouldn’t consider this a place for spending hours, but if you're looking for a quick drink with pizza and wings, this is the spot for you. We enjoyed our drinks and food, although the pizza was a bit on the saltier side that day. The ambiance was great, and the servers were friendly, too. I can't wait to visit again in the summer for an outdoor drinking experience!
The Grand Pizzeria & Bar in ByWard Market had a great Tuscan pizza—tender crust with fresh toppings like chicken and onions. It was spectacular pizza place. Unfortunately, the chicken wings were disappointing, as the chicken didn’t seem well cooked. Worth visiting for the pizza, overall, it’s highly recommended for the pizza lovers in the downtown Ottawa.
We enjoyed our meal. We went in to escape the snow and honestly had no expectations. Wen ordered a couple of items to share and it was significantly better than expected. Possibly because of the weather, we both enjoyed the minestrone soup. Prices per person below includes alcohol.
This is a wonderful place to bring your friends and have a great time. Italian pizzas were amazing! Very soft and chewy. Love the cheese with mushroom. Burger did not disappoint. Try their mocktails! They were a hit.
