Okay been lazy with my reviews lately but time to get yelping. Went with a friend for drinks here after hearing about the $4 martinis. The entrance is a very akward door, which is made more akward by the number of people waiting in line for a table. They do have an upstairs also but I think that is only for dining. Since we were not there for food we quickly saw some people leave the bar area so we took up position there. The layout of the place is narrow with more space towards the back where the kitchen and dining area is. This place must be popular as the queue was pretty long. The drink selection is good, the martinis varied in taste and style however for me I could drink these in one gulp but took my time. I like the atmosphere and vibe of the place, its very laid back but a great place to go and chat and catch up with friends. The service was good and quick. We did order some calamari but yeah as mentioned below it was a real stingy portion. Overall nothing really to seperate this place from any other after work bar but I did like the overal vibe of the place. read more

One of my gf's fav places (although she prefers the Bloor/Bathurst location) - drinks always excellent, love the fact they have Czechvar on draft (not a lot of places in Toronto serve that). Food is always great and I always have a great time when I'm there. Gf loves the martinis and has tried almost all of them on the list - and she swears they are some of the best... Not 5 stars because it can get crowded fast (small place) and at times it doesn't feel that intimate with people chatting right next to you... menu is not that big and prices are not that low... unless you do their specials. read more

I've had good experiences here with co-workers getting drinks. Went here yesterday and got the Mac & Cheese and they brought me fettuccini noodles in sauce. How do you mess up Mac & cheese the recipe is in the name! read more

Went last night with a friend and we enjoyed our time there; FOOD 4/5 We shared the grilled calamari appetizer served with black olives, artichokes and cherry tomatoes. (5/5). Nice presentation, the calamari was perfectly cooked and all the ingredients worked well together. My partner had the chicken and sausage penne (4/5). Very generous portion, tasty and it had a nice kick. I had the Sausage Supreme pizza (3/5) and I have to say I was expecting a little better. It lacked spices, I had to sprinkle a lot of pepper flakes on it. The crust was well cooked and perfectly thin. SERVICE (4/5) Even though there was few patrons, we had to wait a little too long when we arrived before being greeted and seated. Past that point, the two waitresses were very friendly, helpful in explaining the menu and making suggestions. We were served in a timely manner and they checked on us often. read more

Tried this out before a show across the street, mainly because of proximity. The staff were super friendly, and the menu had enough variety for our group. It's a nice space, and prices aren't at all terrible for King West at all. They also take reservations (even on show nights) which is nice. Unfortunately the food is a bit meh. For example, the "mac and cheese" is essentially penne with plain cream sauce and a wad of cheese in the middle, and the calzone was pretty bland, undercooked and doughy. Just sadly underwhelming. May try it again at some stage, as I hear good things about the drink specials :) read more

Had a fantastic dinner here before going to see a show. Everything was delicious. We ordered different pasta dishes with side salads and thought the portions were a great size and the flavours were awesome! Also we split the fried cheesecake with hazelnut gelato and thought we had died! Best dessert I've had in a long long time! Service was great and prices were very reasonable. Will definitely come back! read more

It's not an awful place to go to, but I am not sure I'd go again. The atmosphere is nice, albeit a bit loud.. The menu didn't really appeal to me (pasta, pizza, standard fare), but I went for the calzone, which ended up being overly cheesy inside and the chicken breast was pretty dry. The 'housemade' sauce was freezing cold, and I am not sure it was meant to be a counterpoint against the hot, melty calzone, but it should have at least been room temperature, not out of the fridge and out of a jar. Yes I said it. OUT OF THE JAR SAUCE. The nicer cocktail drinks are $11 if you don't go on Wednesday night which immediately put me off. Overall people seemed to like their food, but I can make most of the food better at home and I've had better. read more

The pizza here is amazing. I had the vegetarian last night and it was delicious, perfectly crispy thing crust and loaded with veggies. The beers are around $6 which is cheaper than many places that you'll go. Check out the upstairs patio on a nice night. Outside seating at the street level is very limited so good luck getting a seat out there on a nice night. There's only about 4 tables. read more

Good value. Terrific Mac n cheese, with bacon. Adult Mac n cheese! Pizza with pineapple was good but a bit undercooked. Nice servers, hot spot with beautiful people. Enjoy!! read more

Got into Toronto late on a Wednesday and luckily came across this place - there weren't many places open serving dinner. Martinis are the Wednesday special and they're a good deal: 4.49CAD. They have a bunch of fruity, specialty ones, but the basic vodka or gin ones were included in the special too. We started with the phyllo-wrapped goat cheese salad. It was perfect for sharing and pretty tasty. We split the smoked bacon pizza: thick cut Canadian bacon, artichokes, roasted red peppers. Service was great: the waitress was a good mix of low key and attentive. I'd definitely suggest it for dinner or late night eats. read more

Your typical bar/restaurant, except $4 martinis all day wednesday. I only go for the cheap martinis, so I cannot comment on the food. ========== EDIT: my friend says the chicken rose is pretty good read more

The rooftop patio was cramped, an employee was on the back steps smoking and having a loud conversation on her phone, and once the sun went down we could hardly see our food due to poor lighting. Had the crispy ravioli to start: pretty dry even with the red sauce for dipping. Hate to say i've had better a big chain restaurants that don't even focus on Italian food. Chicken alfredo: there wasn't a whole lot of chicken in this dish, the sauce was pretty oily. Not horrible, but definately ask for Parmesan and lots of pepper. The grilled bread it came with was the best part, sadly. Classic pizza: this was the best out of the three, still not something I would think twice about. The service was pretty good, the girls were very friendly and happy to answer questions about the menu. read more

Great lunch on the roof top patio. Service was good. Had the Tuscan ham and cheese with fries. Loved the corse mustard they used. Wife had the chicken primavera pasta and they were nice enough to even top it off with some goat cheese for her. Would go back for sure. read more

Hey Lucy - Hey Lucy Cafe - Toronto - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Loved the vibe of the venue, the service was fast and the server was really nice, and the food was pretty good. I got the pepperoni mozzarella calzone, which was delicious, but the side salad was kind of meh. It was just iceberg lettuce, tomato, and onion. It was ok just nothing special. All in all it was a great lunch spot in a great location. Would definitely come here again and would recommend it. read more

Hey Lucy - Pepperoni mozzarella calzone - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Everyone in the place has a smile on their face! Terrific service, good food, reasonable value. I look forward to returning. Waitress had a great sense of humor without being intrusive. LOVED the Mac n' Cheese, very different from others. Drinks are a bit spendy, but they don't skimp on the alcohol, either. Seriously, the service is unusual for Toronto. No pissy faces, they seem to be genuinely happy you stopped in, and they actually talk to you beyond "whaddaya want" and the "thank you" isn't flung over a shoulder as they practically run away (like most GTA restaurants). read more

This place gets one star because I couldn't give them a ZERO star. We brought a group of 7 here and everyone had a terrible experience. The food was subpar barely edible and WAY overpriced save your money and go to the Thai spot around the corner called Pai it's amazing! read more

Band was great and so was the food! Pretty dark inside but I don't mind it. And our server was SUPER friendly and attentive. When I walked up I asked the host for a table near the band and she sat us directly across from them lol. Will def be back! read more

All depends on your server. Pizza is good, nice and thin and tasty. Service was good with some servers but Feli*** thinks it is ok to tell you the tequila is 8 bucks then underpour you charge you 11 and say well it is close enough right? Wow! Well my sub standard tip was close enough right? I like the place too bad one person can ruin it. read more

The service sold this place for me. It wasn't busy, my friend and I felt very attended to, and the manager (maybe? His name is Kevin) gave us a lot of info about Toronto because we are from out of town. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly. Menu is a little small. I would give the food three stars. My calzone was pretty darn good. My friend liked her sandwich, but the fries could have used more flavor. No beer menu, but it was easy enough to tell what they had. Atmosphere is nice for such a small place! read more

Positive: Wed night Martini special( lets be honest, that's why people come to this place). Service is great as well. Negative: The food..Go to Pizza Pizza down the street, you will be happier. read more

Great spot. Pizza & calzone were fantastic. Server was very friendly, even looked at getting us a recipe for their spicy oil. Price point very reasonable. Great date spot. Lucy's could get it. read more

I heard from friends that Hey Lucy was a great place for a girls night, so I suggested we check it out to someone I had met on Bumble BFF. My match was new to the city, so I figured meeting up in the entertainment district would be a great place to show her around. She is from Australia, so we talked travel, food and much more! They had really cool cocktails. I got the fuzzy peach which was delicious :) The food was also delicious, comforting Italian cuisine :) In the summer, I recommend sitting on their roof top patio- awesome vibe! read more

Food is good but have been avoiding pastas here in fear that they aren't good. They have Italian food which tastes freshly made so although not authentic it is at least still tasty. Cocktails are not that great but Wednesday they have the cheapest girly drinks in the city so a good spot for a bite to eat and to start off a night on the town. Good ambience and prices are reasonable. read more

The food is always delicious and the drinks are great. I enjoy the Hey Lucy martini (especially on $4 martini Wednesday's) they don't skimp on the alcohol like most places do for drink specials. My go to is the Butternut Squash ravioli. There's one waitress there who is not very friendly, but the rest of the staff are great, and keep me coming back. read more

I went to the King Street location. The place has a bit of a confusing layout but some nice rustic decor. I tried their stone baked salami pizza which was delicious! My girl tried the baked calamari which was well seasoned and also delicious. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall I'd definitely recommend this place for some affordable and delicious Italian cuisine. read more

Amazing pizza! Wed. night is cheap martini night Decent prices considering it's in a tourist area. read more

$4.50 Martini Wednesday - awesome!!! (although most of them were too sweet for my liking - however, the "lychee" and "freedom 55" were good enough to have 5 of :) I was there with my gf for an after-work drink and we really enjoyed ourselves. We got there pretty early (4:45pm) and were lucky enough to score a booth towards the back of the room - it's critical to get there early, as it gets packed! and a lot of the other tables suck. We shared the antipasto platter - which was amazing! only $13 bucks with lots of variety (hummus, pita bread, olive paste, sauteed peppers and pickled onions.. not sure what else, but it was good!!) and enough food that we both felt satisfied. cannot wait to return in the summer to check out the patio!! read more

3 of us popped in for dinner. Nice pub style, after work casual atmosphere. We each ordered a different pizza: marguerita Vegetarian, smoked Bacon Pesto, all of which were very tasty forno oven baked thin crust. Definitely good enough to take home and take out later for late night snack! read more

Only went for dessert & drinks. Great location! Locale bar where locals hang and a good strip to be in on a Friday night. Fried cheesecake was very very good. Cocktails are Ok. Not excellent. Not bad. Just ok. Wait staff though was not too impressive. I came in a group of 7 and we basically seated ourselves. Wait staff too frazzled about Friday crowd that they are not able to make decisions asap on seating. Also they seat people even if the party isn't complete yet. It proves to be detrimental if the rest of the party doesn't come on time. You end up with empty chairs & people always coming up to you asking if seats are taken. Overall, not bad. I have yet to try the food though! read more

Love the atmosphere of this place! My friend and I came here on a Wednesday night and their feature that day happened to be discounted martinis, score! We snagged a patio seat upstairs on top of the roof and it was packed! But I think it created a great social atmosphere and it felt so welcoming and lively. The staff were very friendly and efficient for the amount of people dining. We ordered an organic greens salad ($8.50) and a chicken & brie pizza ($16) to share. We also got a sextini and a lemon drop martini ($4.49/each) which weren't too strong and so refreshing! The salad came well dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette and acted as a nice palette cleanser from our meat and cheese pizza. Honestly, the crust is what made the pizza so irresistible! It's thin and crunchy but fluffy and chewy all at the same time. The roasted garlic was fragrant and sweet and complemented the cheeses so well. Be sure to ask for some chili flakes too! Overall, love the vibe of this restaurant because everyone seemed so laid back and were having a great time! Delicious pizza and cheap drinks too? I'm in! read more

Hey Lucy - Organic greens salad ($8.50), chicken & brie pizza ($16), sextini and lemon drop martini ($4.49/each) - Pizza Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

So I waddled into Hey Lucy today with nothing but an empty stomach. I looked around and they told me to pick whatever seat I wanted and so I did, sat down ordered a beer, fried calamari and a roasted chicken calzone. Oh god the beer was an amazing Czech beer brought by Zeus himself striking down lightning to distill this magical fountain of liquid gold. The food came rather quick, the calamari was below tier, due to the fact I like my calamari crispy but they might as well be the grilled calamari with light breading, all well. However the calzone was amazing. As I cut into the calzone I felt like Moses splitting the sea. As I took my first bite I felt like a champion, a Spartan of men. I devoured it like a monster Hercules himself wouldn't have dared challenge. Got my bill and it came up to $35 not bad. read more

Was there with a friend Friday evening (March 16th). I ordered a pear salad and margherita pizza. Both were mediocre. Pizza crust was undercooked and sauce was watery. Salad was drenched in dressing. The waitress just said sorry and we had to push for a replacement. Hey Lucy, poor food and service. read more

Amazing cheesy and meaty calzone baked in a super hot oven, $3.99 martinis on Wednesday nights, Czechvar beer and cool atmosphere make up Hey Lucy. Perfect place for that first date, after work drink or a bite before a show. The prices are comparable to chains such as Jack Astor's but obviously much better food and drink. Use the washroom before you go if you aren't very mobile as there are stairs down to the washrooms! read more

Service takes a bit long- we were done our pints before our food came (they also do not serve pitchers). We both got the club panini. It was alright, served with a stingy portion of fries and salad. Would not recommend to a friend... read more

God... fried calamari straight from the frozen food and not even cooked through. Chicken and Brie pizza was horrible as well. Seriously go to jack aster for better food read more

Attractive area with a beautiful atmosphere, that is live on nights and weekends of course. I went to drink just a little bit here with my gf and her group. The Martini's here were dirt cheap because we were there on a special Wednesday Happy Hour or something like that. The place is somewhat small downstairs but there's an outside lounge upstairs that is considerably enjoyable. If anything this place reminds me of a French Quarters building. It seems cozy, and small downstairs with dim lighting. The bathrooms are in the basement and just know that the seating can get limited, even at the open bar. read more

Came so my friend could have gluten free options and her meal looked good. My Rucola salad was flaccid overdressed greens over a dried out slightly burned chicken fillet. I'm not in a hurry to return. read more
