Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Fiazza Fresh Fired

At Fiazza Fresh Fired, the concept is gourmet pizza handcrafted from scratch and served fresh from the wood-fired oven in a matter of minutes. This authentic take on the fast food favorite is made right in front of your eyes and served either to go or in their trendy open-plan seating area. Their menu is primarily centered around an impressive range of choose-your-own topping offerings, although there is also a short list of speciality pies, including ‘magik mushroom’ and ‘broccoli bianca.’

Located in the city’s lively ByWard Market neighborhood, The Grand Pizzeria is Ottawa’s largest pizza restaurant, thanks to its historic location in a grand 19th century building and outdoor patio seating up to 170 customers. In contrast to its newly renovated modern decor, the restaurant prioritizes traditional recipes and cooking techniques, aiming to bring an authentic taste of Italy to Ontario. Their tasty range of pizzas are also available gluten-free or you can opt for one of their pasta, salad or meat dishes.

Anthony’s Pizza

An impressive accolade given their relatively short history, Anthony’s Pizza was recently rated one of The Food Network channel’s Top 12 Pizzerias across Canada. This charming restaurant has a welcoming, homely feel that definitely succeeds in its intention to bring a little slice of Naples to Ottawa’s Glebe neighborhood. The menu is simple but has ample choice and feels very authentic, with its fresh ingredients and wood-fired crusts.

Isabella Pizza

For a higher class version of counter-service style pizza, Isabella is the place to go. Its great value pizzas are so tasty that they have been drawing loyal customers to its no-frills Isabella Street location for almost 70 years. Service is quick and friendly and the large range of food options makes this a great place to grab a slice with a large group or your family.
