My boyfriend brought me for a treat. I got the pistachio and skor... the skor got eaten before I remembered to take the pictures... Perfect treat. I love that they always have many flavours to pick from. Pistachio is a classic and never disappoints. read more

Farinella - Pistachio - Pizza Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Omg! Their pizza is delicious! You usually have to buy a metre long pizza or half-metre, but in the summers they sell pizza by the slice from 11:30am-2:30pm. You pay by the weight, so you can ask them to cut off as big or as small as a piece as you like. Prices depend of the type of pizza you're getting, but it's about $3.40/100g. This is awesome because you can try several different flavours. They have vegetarian and even vegan options. I've had the Tartin-tino, which has the most delicious smoked pancetta on it. The Special White Pizza is also great. It has sliced zucchini and topped with dollops of whipped ricotta. Even the basic Margherita pizza is excellent, as is the even more basic (lol) Rossa pizza, which is just tomato sauce and spices (no cheese, it's vegan). Their pizzas are greasy, so not for dieters, lol. I've also had their Suppli, which is a breaded and deep-fried risotto and cheese croquette. It's big time greasy, but tasty. They also sell gelato, which I haven't tried, but look forward to on a future visit. Service is friendly. When the weather permits, they have outside seating, some of which is under a tent. They have a small private parking lot, but it's almost always full. Street parking is not the easiest to find, but worth the search. read more

FRESHLY MADE AND YUMMY PIZZA! We dropped by Farinella for a quick lunch during last summer, and we LOVE their pizza. There were customers coming in constantly, thus although we only ordered by slices the pizza was still super fresh and hot. That day was supposed to be our "rest day" so we ordered relatively light initially. However, it was so tasty that we "had to" order a second round. There's one thing that's not ideal, that they can only serve beers to customers dining indoor (probably related to the status of their alcohol license at the time?). It was a warm and sunny day, thus it would have been perfect if we could eat outside with a drink in hand. Hopefully, I can eat and drink at their patio next time. But even if that's not the case, I'd still want to visit this place again when I'm in the area next time! read more

We ordered half Margherita, half Tarin-Tino and half Luciano. Please note you now have to order by phone to pick up later that day. They don't seem to be taking any walk-ins at this time. We called at 12pm when the phone lines opened and it was pretty busy. Took about 5-6 tries to get through. We ordered our pizza for pick up in the evening. Payment is taken over the phone. When we got there, the pizza was ready and it was quick to just grab it and go. However, the pizza wasn't really piping hot. Maybe it was done 10 minutes before we had arrived. Overall, I enjoyed the flavours but maybe we should have re-warmed the pizza. And the meter long pizza is quite impressive. Seems to be a great party pizza! Would definitely consider picking up from here again. In terms of price, the pizzas are a bit more pricey but they are definitely more on the fancy side. read more

Came here for lunch and gelato after checking out the tulip festival. We tried a slice of their pepperoni pizza, "The King" sandwich and the pistachio/bacia gelato. The pizza was fresh out of the oven so we enjoyed the hot slice which had a fairly crisp and thin crust. I would've liked a more pronounced tomato sauce base since there's a good amount of cheese that calls for some balanced freshness. Slices are weighed like they do in Rome and I think go for $3/100g and a single slice will be around $3.5. The mortadella/whipped ricotta sandwich on focaccia was a good portion but since it wasn't hot, the focaccia felt greasy and heavy. It would benefit from some fresh herbs like basil/pesto or some peppery greens to brighten up the sandwich (we went home and added pesto and crisped up the bread). Their gelato continues to be a lovely creamy texture and very satisfying on a hot day. Definitely come here instead of Stella Luna (which supports far-right white supremacy movements). read more

I am so glad I finally got the chance to try Farinella's. It has been a bookmark for a while, and the hubs and I finally just went for it after a long day of cleaning and organizing. We called in for an order Sunday evening, payed over the phone, and drove down shortly after for a quick pickup. We went with the classic full meter long margherita pizza ($29.00). I did not find the price bad at all, considering local pizza shops charge around the same now for a large pizza. The pizza was amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing. Fresh, crisp, and cheesy. We tried it at room temperature which was great, but also popped each slice in the oven for a minute or two and that took it to a whole 'nother level. WOW! We also purchased their homemade hot honey and chili oil, which took the pizza up another notch. The bottles were on the smaller size at six bucks each, but I think they will go a long way. We have so much left over. The hot honey was a little bit tricky to get out of the bottle and a little more on the grittier side, so I just took the cap off to pour. I may try heating it up in a bowl next for a couple of seconds to see if the texture changes. I really enjoyed this pizza. It was light and I didn't feel heavy and weighed down afterwards. I cannot wait to go back! read more

YUM! I've been wanting to try this for a while and was just waiting for the perfect weather to enjoy this outside. We had to call in to place the order and actually paid while on the phone as well in order to avoid more contact at the store. Place the order as soon as they open otherwise it'll sell out, you can place them even a few days in advance so def do that to save disappointment. We ended up ordering the meter long(good for 3-4) and chose to get two options. The sotto casa and the Frank Pinello (white pizza). If you're a fan of a crust that's not too thin or thick and has a great crunch this is the pizza for you. There is even instructions on the box if you want to go home and warm it up but we ended up eating it right from the box and it was still great. Both pizza's were delicious in their own way. The Sotto had a great flavour with the roasted mushrooms and whipped ricotta! The Frank Pinello was nice as well, but it's more of a flatbread taste since there's no sauce on this. Personally had there been more caramelized onion and whipped ricotta on this pizza it would've elevated it a lot more. It's a little on the pricey side $40 but if you want to treat yourself to something on the fancier side I would give it a shot They also sell gelato! Didn't get a chance to try this time but summer's here so its only a matter of time read more

I had been hearing about Farinella for awhile now (Meter long pizzas? Helloooo!), but the delivery fee was pretty steep and it's further away for me than I would regularly go to pick up food, so the only thing I was ever able to try was the hot honey through Burrow Shop's grocery delivery. When I spotted a deal for no delivery fee, I thought it had to be a sign. They sell meter long and half meter long pizzas and you can get two different kinds if you order the meter. The delivery menu is much smaller, but we were sure they'd still be great, so we ordered half pepperoni, half margherita. The pepperoni has raw crushed tomato sauce, Australian mozzarella, and Ontario pepperoni cups, topped with toasted fennel powder and drizzled with olive oil. The Margherita is pretty much the same, except instead of the pepperoni and fennel there was fresh basil. The pepperoni cups were a little crispier and chewier - a nice change in both texture and flavour, and they were generous with the amount they put on. We loved the addition of the toasted fennel. It was subtle, but enough to know it wasn't the regular kind of pepperoni pizza you were used to. The Margherita was very tasty as well, with large basil leaves baked on top rather than added fresh after coming out of the oven. This side got a little messed up during delivery, but it didn't make a difference. The pizza box was so long that it was awkward to bring through my door at the angle I was in, so I had to slide it in on the ground haha. The pizza is thin with an airy, chewy crust and a surprising amount of cheese considering the thickness. It was firmer than I expected and held up, though I'm not sure if that's because it wasn't as hot after being delivered to us and had the chance to cool more. We also ordered chili oil and hot honey, both made in-house and come in small reusable bottles rather than just the little sauce containers you usually get, so definitely worth the extra dollars, in my opinion. The chili oil is infused with a mix of habanero peppers and chili peppers. Red and spicy, it's pretty addictive. The husband loved it. The hot honey is made using Gibb's locally sourced honey and infused with extra hot peppers. It's not as spicy as the chili oil, but does still have a little kick. It would be great with wings, too! My husband got a can of Diet Coke and I got a can of City Seltzer. The menu item didn't say which flavour it was, but the description was for City Citrus. I should have specified the flavour in the notes, anyway, since I ended up getting Berry Whip, which I'm not super fond of. Altogether, it was pricier than what we would normally pay for pizza, sauces, and drinks, but it was worth it! read more

Love their gelato and gelato bars. The pizza is also very good. I have been a few times since they opened, and I would definitely recommend them for their gelato. In the summer, they do gelato by the scoop, whether it's in a cup or cone. In the winter, they do gelato bars and mini cones instead, which I also love. I do find the gelato by scoop is a little bit on the pricier side, more expensive than Stella Luna for less gelato. However, the quality is definitely there. The gelato bars are $5.50 each and the mini gelato cones are $1.25 each. Flavours rotate, both the gelato and the coatings. I think they should have some sort of gelato stamp card! I finally got to try their pizza, and I would recommend this as well. Again, it is a bit on the pricier side, but the concept is neat. They have a variety of different pizzas to choose from, some vegetarian and some not. It is all done by weight, with the vegetarian ones costing less per 100g than the meat ones. I like how I can have a small taste of each one if I really wanted to! I had 3 small slices of 3 of their pizzas and my total came to about $7.50 after tax. This was enough for me, as I definitely wanted to make room for dessert. They also generously provide samples if they aren't too busy, which is a huge plus for me. Since the pizzas are already made, they cut and heat up a portion for you once you order. This makes the bottom super crispy. I don't know if they qualify as Neapolitan style, but they are definitely on the thin side, which I love. Toppings are generous and match well together. I liked the Cotto (prosciutto cotto and whipped ricotta), Lucio (fennel sausage), Potato, and Rossa (tomato & garlic sauce) the most. I found Mozzarella to be a bit bland, perhaps it's a different sauce than they use for Rossa? The day we went, they also had fried risotto balls stuffed with cheese. I did see them replenishing the pizza often, so even if they aren't made to order, they are all super fresh and baked again right before you eat. They also do a variety of Italian donut-style desserts. I have had their mini bomboloni, which were cute and tasty! They did buy one get one free for these donuts once, they announce this on their Instagram. It's really casual here, with some seating inside and patio seating in the summer. There is no table service; you order, pay, and pick up your food from the front. Everyone was very friendly and nice. Street parking is available, free after 5:30 pm and on the weekends too, I believe. I will be back for sure, if not for the pizza, definitely for the gelato and gelato bars! read more

Everything is delicious and the flavours are so bright! You can tell that the food is all fresh and carefully thought out.

We have been wanting to try this pizza place in a long time.. but apparently needs a lot of planning ahead they open their phone line at 1 pm and u can pick up 4pm and up! No place to sit so we had to take and eat in the car! Super fresh crunchy and yummy! Even the kids said what awesome pizza place this is! Staff very friendly not to forget! read more

My wife picked up some pies on the way home from work. When I saw the size of the box, i was surprised. It reminded me of pizza we got a number of years ago, which was called a "family pizza". It was HUGE, and took our family of 4 almost a week to finish it. Not that that's a bad thing........ Flavour was nicely balanced, and satisfying as a whole. 2 pieces left me satisfied. As a bonus, they have mastered curbside pickup. Call ahead with your order, payment, and pickup time. Arrive at your time slot. They bring it to you. Done! read more

Love this unique pizza spot! I've tried the pizza at this location and at the Kanata location. So far I've tried the margherita and the sotto casa (Raw crushed tomato sauce, rosemary white wine roasted mushroom, mozzarella, whipped ricotta) The mushroom pizza was the real star! So delish. They also sell many different flavours of gelato This place is super popular and sadly can sell out only a few hours after opening. On the pricier side but very high quality. Perfect meal for a picnic in the park. read more

Pizza there is incredible, always so much variety to choose from, reminded me when I was back in Italy. The pizza dough is so perfectly crunchy and soft. While the toppings are out of this world; potato on pizza? Who would've thought? Came to the friend and family opening and was not let down. The new concept of you choosing the size of pizza is so refreshing. The pricing for the pizza is really reasonable as well, considering it's completely done that day. The gelato was even more incredible highly recommend the pistachio one! Even any of their fruity gelatos are excellent. Nina is the queen of gelato in my books. Hope you guys thrive in the restaurant business. Cheers read more

Yes. Great place, unique and an amazing addition to the Ottawa food scene. They serve Roman style pizza by the weight. The crust is phenomenal and full of complex flavors. I have been following Farinella since they opened but haven't had a chance to visit since I am no longer living in Ottawa. I now live in NYC so obviously have a lot of options in terms of pizza --So Farinella rivals them. We got 5 different styles, don't know all the names so bare with me, we tried: - mozzarella and potato - prosciutto and mozzarella - red sauce - margarita - mozzarella and pickled tomatoes Not 100% sure if I got the names all right, but check out the pictures to see! The pizza was served at room temperature so it's ready to eat and you won't be burning the roof of your mouth The staff super friendly and approachable and the music selection was enjoyable as well. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice day. They also had a gelato section and served coffee. However - was not paying attention to these offerings. read more

A TRUE GEM IN OTTAWA. The best pizza in the city? The freshest gelato ideas? The coolest method of selecting pizza size? Dare I say yes to all of the above?? I think so! I really enjoyed coming here. My mom had the hook up and knew the owners' mom, so here's where we lunched. To pick your pizza, merely wave your hands the appropriate length and they will cut away at their giant, oblong pizzas for you. The flavours are plentiful and change often. On my visit, I got a triple tomato slice and one with bechamel, mushrooms and rosemary. But it could be completely different by the time you get there! Just saying! The gelato is equally impressive. Flavours like cannoli and local forest berry are a feast for the mouth AND eyes with the natural flavours shining. One side of the restaurant is for pizza and one is for gelato, and both are very well respected here. Though they may not have been expecting it, I predict this place to be packed during winter too! Hopefully they just continue the expansion on forever. read more

I order from Kanata all the time. The pizza is amazing. My only complaint is that you can't dine in. I wish I could try that pizza fresh off a plate. I always reheat it in my oven when I get home (20 minute drive). I love their gelatos too! A higher price point but it's a bigger pizza. read more

As good as it gets. Superb Italian pizza that you buy by the weight. It comes out as long pizza strips with different toppings, you just choose the one you like, show the person the size +- and the will weight it. The plus: You buy as much as you want exactly!. The minus: it is NOT CHEAP but worth it. In weekends and lunchtime, they will make so many pizzas so you will have a variety of extreamly fresh ones. They also have super good ice cream for dessert, their coffee on the other end is so so. Again the only downside for this place is the price. read more

We had been waiting to try this restaurant for a while! One of my favourite pizza spots in the city! Came highly recommended and did not disappoint. We called ahead of time and the pizza was ready within 20 mins. Such good ingredients and enough for two people to have two meals from the pizza. We've tried the Salaminto pizza twice and it was excellent! Super excited to go back! They don't open until later in the day is the only downside of this place! read more

Young energetic staff and the owners seem to always be on site and working right along side their employee. Their attention to detail and fresh products makes them a go to place. Roman style italian pizza is very good and the hand made gelato is to die for. Kudos to them for taking a chance and opening this little gem. You pay for the pizza by the weight that you select, it is a little pricey but well worth it. read more

One of the best place for authentic Italian pizza. They use quality ingredients and the portions are generous.

Quaint spot slightly hidden, which I am not too mad about since that will keep the crowds down! Absolutely delicious pizza, sold by weight. I stop by all the time to grab some arancini balls, they have some ready to warm up or to take out. And let's not overlook their lemon sorbet wrapped in chocolate popsicles - so so good! They have other flavours as well but this is hands down my favourite. read more

Farinella, to me, is a new concept in pizza. It's pay-by-weight, which I will be the first to joke "that is trouble right there." I couldn't choose between the pepparoni and proscuitto, so I got some of both. Really flavorful, really filling pizza. Points deducted for serving at room temperature; the wood plank behind glass presentation is very attractive (and necessary, since you literally tell them where to cut your slice off), but a flash in an oven before serving would have been greatly appreciated. Didn't try the gelato today, but the selection looked wonderful so I will be back. read more

Very amazing but can be a bit pricey. I would recommend the pistachio gelato! It's incredible!

3-5 dollars per 100 grams of reheated pizza is... a lot. The pizza was very average as well, borderline bad. Pros here: quick easy service, and a very cool location and patio, gelato looks great. read more
