In the interim years, Pizza on Earth has expanded significantly - there is now a cafe, an art gallery and a great patio to enjoy the food. The ordering space has also changed with the overall expansion. The pizza is amazing - great variety and a great combination of crispy, thin crust coupled with fresh, tasty toppings. There is a wider variety of drinks (including alcohol) and the cafe provides even further variety. This is a great gem - go climb the Dorset tower, hike Algonquin - and get a great pizza to celebrate!

But I have seen their online presence growing as well as the lines they have so we decided to give it a shot! We came around 11am on a Saturday. I wanted to try their coffee and bagels and my boyfriend wanted a pizza so we divided and conquered. The Smoked Salmon bagel was great - the bagel itself was nice and chewy (some capers would've put it on another level), but there was a good amount of all the ingredients (cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, arugula and fresh dill). The coffee was enjoyable, as there aren't many options for to go coffee in Dorset. The pizza was phenomenal!!! Fresh out of the oven, amazing quality ingredients and tasted delicious! I'm looking forward to trying their other pizzas as they all sound very good! Such a good food spot so close to our cottage too! I'm glad we decided to check these guys out again!

Also perfect crust. The ambiance was relaxed and friendly. We'll be back!

Stopped in the other night for dinner while in town from Pointe au Baril for a few things. It was…read morepretty good! You walk in and are immediately greeted by giant menus full of pizza options (see pics). They're serious about pizza. No kidding - one is $450! Yep, u read that right. Mostly, though, the pies range from about $20-35/$45. A nice guy greeted us - and turns out, he was cooking our pizza, but he also did everything else. A one-man operation that night. We ordered a Lemon Harvest Salad to start. The peppery arugula, sun-dried tomatoes, onion, feta, & pistachios went well w/ the zesty vinaigrette. Good salad - and plenty of it. Our pie, the Deconstructed Queen, was just good - not great. It was actually fairly boring (just tomato sauce, pesto, and mozz), and the pesto just meh (odd, since they say it's a signature item). The crust was quite good, though. Thin, crispy. I would say - try a pie with more ingredients! The pizzas definitely have potential. WISH they had a better beer selection. And no dessert for us -- we were too full. The gelato looks excellent, though. Next time!

That Little Place By The Lights is clearly a very popular spot...this place gets PACKED! We were…read morehoping to eat on the patio since we had our dogs with us, but unfortunately it was a rainy day, so we decided to grab some takeout instead. When I arrived, the restaurant was absolutely bustling, but the lady who helped me with our order was in such high spirits and was incredibly friendly. Even with how busy they were, she was so welcoming and made the pickup experience great. For my meal, I ordered the Creamy Pesto with Chicken, and I absolutely loved it. The sauce wasn't overly oily, had a nice, light basil flavour, and I really appreciated that they included Parmesan on the side so I could add as much as I wanted. My wife ordered the Spaghetti Primavera and really enjoyed it as well. She especially loved the goat cheese, which added a great flavour to the dish. The pasta here is definitely high quality. You can tell some care goes into it, and both of our mains were delicious. We also ordered the Arancini, which were just okay. We've had much better elsewhere, so they weren't really a highlight of the meal. The pasta, however, was excellent. We're definitely interested in coming back, hopefully on a nicer day so we can actually sit on the patio with the dogs, try more of the menu, and take in the views from the upper patio. It's easy to see why this place is so popular! For more food, travel, and travel reviews, check out our YouTube channel A&M Roam!

We got take out so it was minimal service and ambiance but the front staff were great and looking around, the ambiance looked to be very cozy. We got a meatball sandwich was some great potato wedges. A salad with a fried egg which is something neither of us had before and a pizza. I would say the salad and sandwich was better than the pizza but that being said I would give the salad a 5/5, the sandwich 4.5/5 and the pizza a 4/5 so still all very solid. Would recommend this to anyone in the area.

After a bad rain drenched evening and trying morning at Restoule PP, the kids and I were starving…read moreand exhausted. The three restaurants in Powassan we attempted to visit were closed or takeout only. Second efforts revealed this little gem upon my search via Yelp. So a few things to note as I write this, the restaurant has 10 tables, including three booths, patio and probably seating for 34 people max, most seats have butts in them minus the patio. Upon arrival, we were told that service to each would take at least half an hour. However the server (who turned out to be the owner) put a rush order in for fries for the kids. Nat bad at all they were fresh. The kids ordered fingers, I ordered the double fish and chips. The fingers, were definitely some Sysco product that were well, Okish. Slightly above average from a frozen box. The fish ended up being haddock which was above my expectations and my daughter who isn't a big fan, loved it. The missed opportunity here is to source some local Bass or Walleye, and do it up in that solid panko they were using. The wait for food was unbearably long. I'm going to assume that the owner and cook (even though I saw two other employees) were not accustomed to being this busy. Maybe the equipment was not intended for that volume of people in a short span. The owner was very kind, she unfortunately wasn't on top of getting water for the kids or topping up my coffee. In the end the slow service was the worst part, a 2.75 to 3 the food a solid 4, the customer service was a 4.75, Mixed bag, but was made positive.

Not the most authentic Italian food but they were still very fresh and had great presentation. I was impressed. Wine selection is not great, but that was fine. It didn't bother us that much. We ordered the arugula and fig salad to start which was probably my favourite part and I had the seafood pasta and my girl friend had the gnocchi. All were excellent. Service was prompt and it is at a very lovely location by the water. We were seated in the "closed off" patio so we still got to enjoy the scenary of outside without actually being outside (as I believe the restaurant is situated on a rather busy street with decent amount of traffic). If I am in the area again for the Parry Sound Music Festival, I wouuld definitely come back and I would recommend this place to my other concert goer friends however I would probably not go out of my way to return otherwise.

Then there is the lunch buffet! Thin, flavourful fresh baked ravioli, fettuccine alfredo cooked to perfection, and penne in special red sauce with the perfect bit of spices. Italian meatballs, bruschetta mini burgers with cheese, bbq ribs, and excellent veal parmigiana in appropriately small, lunch- sized portions. All salads with six dressings, home style veggie soup, light battered fish and chips. Yes, it's "All you can eat" And, it's all good. Be careful. Wear your Magic- Stretch" pants. In summary, it is rare to partake of any buffet and find that nothing has been tortured under a heat lamp. This establishment creates the buffet choices in small increments so that everything is always fresh for everyone. Summer time And the dining is easy. And, by the way the price will make you smile. We WILL be back.

It is such a beautiful setting and I believe they need to step up their game or eventually people will stope coming. The patio needs cleaning up, weeding and more comfortable chairs. At dinner, if not table cloths then at the very least , cloth napkins. The small paper cheap napkins just don't cut it. The food is marginal at best. Or at least what we had was. The meatballs tasted like canned sauce on them, the artichokes for the appetizer I do not believe should be pickled . We will be back and try other menu items due to the lovely location . Sure hope this review is taken seriously.
