This restaurant was Great! The lady who served us was amazing and very nice. The food was great and very quick. After we ordered, the food was on our table three minutes later! It was a little more expensive than I thought it would be, but you have to remember. It's not pizza pizza style! (Owner, please don't come for me) When we left, I was very full. One pizza is perfect to split with two people. Overall, it was great, and I'll definitely come back again! read more

A very nice, relaxed and small restaurant we loved. Own by a beautiful couple, he's originally from Italy and I failed to asked where she was from. They were very nice, the wife serve us and she was very sweet and attentive. We found this place by googling restaurants around the area and it was the only restaurant with a 4.9 starts. Every. Other restaurant had 3 stars or less. Being from the State this was important. We bought 2 pizza, one margarita and the chicken special. Also, a panini with prosciutto ( They used their pizza dough for the panini) and a lamb gnocchi. We were a group of 4, 2 adults and 2 kids. The panini was huge The food was unbelievably amazing. I've never eaten an entire pizza and felt like I hadn't eaten at all. Back in the States, one or two slices usually leave me feeling bloated, but not here. Even my 5-year-old son finished a whole pizza by himself, and my daughter devoured her entire panini and none of us felt heavy afterward. That's when you know the food isn't packed with chemicals and unnecessary ingredients. read more

We were in Niagara Falls and looking for a place to grab some lunch. We passed by comparu and decided to try it. It's fairly small restaurant and seemed quite popular. Staff were friendly and helpful with ordering. Food: Comparu pizza - their pizza are quite thin reminding me of Neapolitan pizza from Italy. The meatballs were tasty and the pizza is wood fired with delicious char. Pizza sauce was good against the cheese. Ortolana pizza - delicious grilled veges - eggplant, zucchini, red peppers. I do think with the Neapolitan style, toppings more easily fall off as the vegetables are a bit heavy. All in all, really good pizzas. Definitely recommend eating in if possible. Price is pretty high and portions not that big so just be aware of that but quality is great. read more

Amazing! Delicious! They were able to get our big group in when I called ahead, very accommodating. It's a cute small space with a modest menu. But the flavors are all Italian, Bellissimo! We had the polpette (meatballs), bruschetta and several pizzas along with some wines and dessert. It was all wonderful. So glad we came and could fit in. Definitely give them a try. They have a garage door front so you can dine al fresco when the weather is nice. It's cozy inside to match the food. Don't let the small domestic front fool you. There's great authentic flavor inside. read more

If you had told me I would find a place that has good pizza in Niagara Falls, I would have said you were crazy. We were wandering and came across a sit down restaurant that just so happened to sell fresh pies. The hostess was very sweet and accommodated our fairly large party. We were sat in the table closest to the food prep area, which made my nephew very happy. He was very entertained watching the oven where the pizza was being made! We ordered various pies and they all were amazing. If you want a taste of Italy while in Canada, Comparu is the spot! read more

This was a very interesting place. Literally, a garage location with a traditional raised garage door. With no clear place to stand & be greeted. Clean with a cute outdoor seating area. Dinner time! Busy restaurant, which you'd expect, given its 5 star rating. Server (1 and only one) I politely asked if she's by always herself. She shyly replied that sometimes there's another person. Judging by some of the other reviews, she's alone often. That being said, her work was outstanding. She out performed some fully staffed restaurants. Yes we waited a bit. But I've experienced much worse. She was friendly and moved quickly but not frazzled. Once our order was in, the food came out in good time. We Had: Pepperoni Pizza Calzone Bruschetta Dough had a wonderful flavor and sauce was terrific. I thought the dough under the pizza a bit too thin for the amount of cheese and pepperoni on it, but the flavor was so good, I'm willing to look past that detail. Calzone was outstanding. Big enough to share....like we did. Great experience. Can't in good conscience give it a five. But definitely a 4 experience given what they're working with. Be prepared for a bit of a wait for great food. Get here when you're beginning to get hungry, not when you're dying to eat and you'll be fine, I think. Great little spot. Recommend! 3.9/5 read more

Checked this place out last night after seeing all the great reviews--and it definitely lived up to the reviews . The food was amazing and delivered on taste. We just got back from Europe, and honestly, this place is very similar to the foods we had on vacation. It has that vibe--authentic, high-quality ingredients, no shortcuts. It's a small, cozy spot, but that just adds to the atmosphere. Would definitely go back. read more

Hidden gem in Niagara! Delicious pizza near the Clifton Hill area. It was a rainy Saturday and we were looking for brunch. However, we saw the high ratings for this spot on Yelp and had to give it a try! The pepperoni pizza here was the best. The dough is on the thinner side so had to eat with a fork and knife (as it got messy). Not usually a fan of crust but really enjoyed it here as it had a toasty flavour. read more

An incredibly cozy and quirky dining experience! My daughter and I were visiting on a spontaneous trip to the Falls, and we decided we wanted a delicious but not so fancy dinner. Not wanting to be disappointed, we checked out the local map, searching for restaurants with only the highest reviews. Comparu was it, with a 4.9 out of 5 on one site and a 5/5 on another! We went in at the perfect time, right after opening, because at the end of our meal, there was literally a line to get in! We had one pepperoni pizza, one margherita pizza, and one bruschetta as an appetizer. All were amazing, and the waitress was exquisite! One pizza easily satisfies two people, by the way. We finished up with the best tiramisu I've ever had, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. I felt although that prices were reasonable, and service was top notch. read more

Wonderful Napoli style's pizza. Thin crust in the middle and over roasted and thicker on the sides. My fav. We chose the pepperoni pizza and asked if they could add black olives. They added Kalamata olives which was even better! Pepperonis curled up upon cooking. So good. We split one pizza and it was more than enough food. Service was excellent! One server and one cook were running the whole restaurant. The place is set up like a garage so the front of the restaurant is all open. It was chilly so we were happy to sit inside but I can see the appeal of the sidewalk / bistro-like seating. Great experience. read more

Very underrated Italian restaurant! Comparu is a very lovely restaurant with outdoor seating on a rather quiet street near the touristy Clifton Hills. We were impressed by each dish we ordered and cleared each plate! Caprese Salad: amazingly fresh, with the perfect amount of olive oil and spices Calabrese Pizza: the thin crust was so doughy, and the hot cheese melted with the tomato sauce was the perfect combination Lasagna: irresistible, with a generous amount of meat and cheese We sat on the patio, and with the music and lights it felt like we were in a different world, after the frenzy of touristy Niagara Falls. Our waitress was incredibly sweet as well. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and visit Comparu. read more

Pizzantastic! Finally, a pizza that is light and full of flavor. Bottom of the ninth walk-off performance. Honest and authentic ingredients and perfectly balanced on taste. Fluffy soft thin crust with a hint of char. Fold it and dig in for a unique pie experience. Cozy and inviting interior and outdoor patio seating makes for a relaxing meal. Warm and friendly service with big smiles. These folk are fully invested in their business and perfection is their pride at fair prices. Help them out and stop in for a bit. Everything made fresh, so relax and kick back while they make it just for you. Definitely worth it. read more

Still thinking about this one!! I had such a great day in Niagara Falls, and this pizza made it even better. I got the Margherita pizza and after eating it so quickly, I wish I got to try other pizzas or even their pastas. Service was so kind and thoughtful. They didn't have chili oil, but they had jalapeño oil that I mixed with chili flakes and it was perfect. read more

Teeny tiny, no frills place with excellent food. Only one chef so I knew it was legit. By far one the best pizzas I have ever had outside of Europe. Absolutely fantastic. Worth the wait. We ordered to go. The place was packed and she told me they stopped to go orders at 9 but since I was there before she asked me to wait for her to complete/finish serving all the tables. Only 1 waitress but she did a great job with all the tables she had. We had the margarita and capricosa. I wish we had tried more things in the menu. def go back again. read more

A hidden gem in Niagara Falls! This wonderful restaurant is just a short walk from the main attractions of Niagara Falls and SO worth the effort. Why settle for chain restaurant food when you can have authentic Neapolitan pizza and other dishes? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that even though this is the first place we've eaten on our trip, this is going to be the best. The only time I've had pizza this good was when we were in Italy, which makes sense because the owner grew up and learned to make pizza in Italy. He and his wife run the place together and you can tell how much passion they have for their restaurant in the food and in the service. We tried the namesake (Comparu) pizza and a calzone to start. Both were excellent and you could taste the quality of the fresh ingredients and attention to detail in every bite. The meatballs in the Comparu were hand-made and excellent and you could taste the fresh olive oil in the crust and the sauce. We probably wouldn't have tried dessert, but when we found out that the tiramisu was homemade, we had to try that as well and it didn't disappoint. Excellent in every way and some of the best I've ever had. A quick note about the service. The owner's wife was super nice and one of the hardest working people I've seen in some time. She single-handedly performed hostess, waitress, barista, and bus duties, somehow managing to take care of every table in the restaurant, including boxing up leftovers. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing authentic Italian restaurant - best meal of our whole trip! I highly recommend this business - tucked in an out-of-the-way spot, this place looks like a bit of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant when you first pull up. However, don't let that fool you! Interior is clean, nicely decorated and set up, with a half wall into the small kitchen so you can watch the chef use their wood fired pizza oven. Server was Italian, very kind, and very knowledgeable. They indoor seating was still open-air, and I loved it! Great place to eat lunch, quiet, and soft background music. Part way through our meal the Chef (who may also be the owner?) came out to chat with us and see how our food was. We couldn't pick just one thing, so we ordered the gnocchi pasta special that day, a caprese salad, and two pizzas - a white and a red. Everything was outstanding! Honestly, the spotted flavorful crust was so good! No crusts left behind here. We had a leisurely lunch and ended up ordering tiramisu and espresso for dessert. This was the perfect end to the lunch, and we happily took our meal's leftovers for an easy dinner. If you're looking for a hidden gem right by Niagra, but removed from the tourist crowd, this place is a MUST! Will for sure eat there again if I ever am back in the area, 10/10 experience. I didn't snap a pic of the menu, but it is available online. read more

Let this be a lesson to myself... Currently this place has 4 reviews with no Elite reviews, to which I normally turn up my nose. However after seeing their pizzas, I knew we had something special on our hands. We stopped by and there was a huge family of Italians having a great time which I thought was the first great sign. Secondly, as we walked in and a random guy stopped me and said , "You have to eat here it's literally the best food in the area." Ok, green flags all over the place... After a short discussion, we decided on the lasagna, bruschetta, potato gnocchi with a meat ragu, and a spicy pizza, and tiramisu for dessert. I might as well cut to the chase, food was incredible. Service was short handed so go expecting a wait. But, BUT... I fell in love with food again on my last trip to Italy. And THIS PLACE! This place drops me right back where I left off in Florence. If you think you know what good lasagna is, come here before making your final decision. Their gnocchi...as potato gnocchi goes is fundamentally excellent. God I hope they don't skewer me for saying this but if the gnocchi would be sautéed in butter it would be fundamentally *perfect*. But as a test to see how good potato gnocchi can be, this was incredible. And the pizza.... I never thought I would have a Neopolitan pizza as good as Italy in Niagara Falls, Canada...?!?!? And yet here I am, shaking my head in disbelief at the meal I just had. I'd love for them to get more recognition for their food because they are well deserving, and I hope when this happens the quality stays exactly the same as what we experienced. read more

Don't be scared. You'll pass many pizza spots on Victoria and near the falls, but keep walking. You'll see two really run down motels on the corner and know you are there. My wife thought we were in the Compton of Canada. lol. Pizza is amazing. It was less than a mile walk from the falls, if you take the long way. And I thought Canada wouldn't have good pizza. This spot has great pizza. Best carbonara I ever had. Meat was thick and crispy. Sheesh. I need to import this stuff. And they don't charge that luxury tax stuff. It'll be less than $60 US for tip, two entrees and three beverages. They also have free parking. read more

We were looking for a place to enjoy some really good pizza while visiting Niagara Falls and we stumbled upon a great find in Comparu. The pizza was delicious. We shared two pies: a Margherita and a Capricciosa and both get five stars. The interior is small, quiet and quaint with the front open. Service was quick and responsive, even though they were down staff the night we ate. Prices were very reasonable -- especially being so close to the main tourist area. A great find. read more

Had a pepperoni pizza and the white pizza with guanciale. Both were amazing, as good as any pizza I had in Italy. Kid and parent approved!

Kids and adults both enjoyed the pizza. Easy short 4 minute walk from court yard Marriott. Comfortable atmosphere

The best pizza in Niagara Falls Canada. We live in Niagara falls and after trying Comparu, its our new favourite. We have been to Napoli Italy a few times and can say that Comparu is as good as you're going to get in Napoli. The crust has a good char and a perfect chew. The pizza comes steaming hot from the wood burning oven and so the flavours are at their peak. The waitress is sweet and attentive. We have been there twice already and going for a third time this week! read more

What a fantastic find! We discovered Comparu on Yelp and couldn't be happier. The food leans more Italian than American-Italian--and that's a good thing! We started with a couple of appetizers. The meatballs were out of this world--so soft, so flavorful. I believe they were served in an Amatriciana sauce, and yes... we licked the bowl clean. The pizzas were also excellent, especially with those crispy little cupped pepperonis--oh yum. The crust was delicious, though the bottom was a bit soft, which made the slices tricky to pick up. Still, the flavor made up for it. We ended with the tiramisu, and wow--what a perfect finish. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. The restaurant is small, giving it an intimate, cozy feel. We were there with our kids, but it would be just as great for a night out with friends over drinks. This place is an easy A. A must-visit when in Niagara Falls. Two thumbs up--way up! read more

I stumbled upon this little charming place when I was in a rush to get food after walking for very long. They greeted warmly and sat us immediately. We ordered 2 pizzas, a Margherita and a pepperoni. My kids know how to identify great pizza as they have had the best of the best and they loved this one. It was different in a good way. The pepperoni was AMAZING and had an excellent amount of pepperoni on it. The crust was on the thicker side, but I love it like that. On top of that, the folks there were extremely nice!! It was that kind of service that shows that they love to take care of their customers. If you are in the Niagara area, you have to come around, because next time I come back, I'm absolutely getting more, especially that pepperoni pizza. read more
