    Non gluten free Canadian pizza with the legendary dough ball
    Jessica L.

    Louis pizza has been an Ottawa staple for as long as I can remember. I had to give it up because I am gluten intolerant. Recently I saw they have a gluten free pizza so I have them a call to see. They offer gluten free in small and medium and they get their gluten free crusts in a thicker base so it doesn't burn and taste like cardboard. It's also cooked on its own pan, so they try to limit cross contamination as much as possible. And if you're a regular pizza eater their crust is thick, it's loaded with cheese and toppings and is an absolute delight. And their garlic dip, yum.

    A local favorite, we had to stop here for some quick and tasty food. It was an obvious popular spot as there was a line to check and check out. What impressed me the most was the waitress that seemed to know everything that was going on! She saw me walk in and came right up to me to see what I would like. I put my order in to go and she still sat me at a table for comfort and got me a drink. She treated me like a family member who just popped in for a visit. I would go here again simply to see her! The food...delicious! We ordered a family sized portion of poutine and it did not disappoint. There was a hint of sweet with just enough salt. The cheese curds melted perfectly and we were in 7th Heaven. Although the pizza was not exactly what we were looking for, it definitely was well crafted. A generous portion of cheese and nicely baked dough, if you're looking for a thicker crust with a cheese blend for topping, this is definitely your place to go!!!

    Louis' Special with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, and green olives, plus pineapple

    In researching restaurants near McArthur Lanes for a belated New Year's work social, a colleague suggested we try out Louis' Pizza. We have a few members on our team who have dietary restrictions due to allergies, religious beliefs, and a few picky eaters, so we wanted to be able to accommodate the whole team, as well as everyone's budgets. Louis' is about $10-12 per small pizza. Louis' is a mom-and-pop, family restaurant type of place, with photos and children's drawings all over the walls, and booth seating. We were a group of 13 people and could only fit a maximum of six people per booth, but we all had our winter coats and spread out across three tables for more comfort. Most of us ordered our own or decided on a few popular kinds to share. A small pizza is more than enough, so many of us left with leftovers, and some with entire pizzas for dinner. I ordered a small Louis' Special, with pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, and green olives. I was really craving a Hawaiian but still wanted the special, so I just added pineapple as well. Because our group was large and the place was packed, it took us a little while to receive our orders, maybe about 15 minutes or so, but then again, we were starving when we walked in, so perhaps we were just impatient from the hunger. I'm not sure if they were having some special promotion or if it's always like this, but all of us who ordered small pizzas received them in a heart shape! The crust is regularly thick, which I generally don't prefer, but it was fresh and both crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - delicious. They can do a thin crust, but you have to ask. There were a ton of toppings on top and underneath the cheese, and even little mushroom halves stuck with a toothpick on each slice. No extra cheese needed, which I also typically order. Regardless of our individual preferences, we all left extremely full and satisfied. There is a section off to the side that looked like a mini grocery/convenience store, but I mostly noticed the fridge full of pies that had a ridiculous amount of whipped cream on top. I was so full that I just couldn't have another bite, but I would love to go back and try a slice of pie.

    Those are coconut cream pies. Made here.

    First time in this restaurant while in Ottawa for the weekend. I had the meat lovers pizza. Really good. Lots of gooey cheese, crisp bacon, ham, sausage and pepperoni. Crust is thick and tasty. Cooked just right. The Missus had a cheeseburger and fries. Also delicious. Dessert was coconut cream pie made here and lemon meringue. Awesome. Place was packed. Short wait. Well worth it. Staff very attentive. Very busy. Friendly. Another place to come back to.

    Heart shaped Louis' Special with extra cheese.

    My husband was introduced to Louis' by a co-worker and since we were in the area visiting family, we decided to go in for lunch. Immediately upon entering, I notice the mass amount of pictures and other things on the wall which gave me a vibe that this place was a place that is well loved. The staff was very friendly. We ordered a medium Louis' Special with extra cheese to split. When it came out, it was in the shape of a heart. We hadn't asked for that but they did it special for us, which was really sweet. There were mushrooms around the edges on toothpicks as well as a little Canada flag, which was very unique. From the first bite, I was hooked. The crust was amazing. Very moist and while it was thick, it wasn't overly so. I didn't find it as greasy as most pizza. The toppings were nice and fresh. You can tell they put pride into their food. It's a family run business that treats their customers as an extension of that family and really, how could you ask for better?

    Homemade coconut cream pie. Huge and delicious!
    Mo R.

    What a gem! Absolutely great food served by wonderful people that make sure you are enjoying your meal. We had a huge poutine and large pizza that they customized to our family's taste. Nice touch! Had to try the amazing looking homemade coconut cream pie. Was awesome.

    The staff were so cute they wrote my name with pizza dough and also made the pizza into a heart :)

    I've been meaning to try this place for soo long and I finally did! And I wish I had tried it…read moresooner. It might actually be one of my favourite pizzas in the city! The restaurant is cuter inside than I thought. There are some window seats for people-watching on bank st. There are also some hanging lights by the windows. The pizza crust has the perfect crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside texture. It's so good it doesn't even need any dip. I tried both the nerd pizza and the mushroom pizza. The nerd pizza had pickled onions, black pepper molasses bacon, cheese and chili Basil honey. I loved the tangy pickled onions, with the salty-sweet bacon, and the spicy honey. The combination was just perfection. I could use a little more chili though! The mushroom pizza was a white pizza with portobello mushrooms, parm, and truffle oil. The salty parm and the meaty portebello mushrooms were a good combo, but I didn't really taste any truffle oil. I felt like this pizza was good but missing a little something to take it to the next level. Overall, the food was delicious. The drinks are reasonably priced (beer, local kombucha). However, the service was mediocre. I think they only had one or two servers working the entire area on Friday night.

We drove by,…read morefound a parking spot close by and popped on in to a pretty much empty restaurant on a Friday around 4pm. The employees noticed we looked confused, and we explained it was our first time here. We were told to grab a menu and any seat in the restaurant. You order at the cash and prepay and they bring it to you when ready. We went with a half cheese half pepperoni. (We have kids, we had to keep it simple, flash forward, it was still "too cheesy" for them) We also ordered a side ceaser salad, which hubby and I both agreed it was ho hum and we'd skip it next time. The side of hot honey and garlic dipping sauce was scrumptious and a great addition to the pizza. It did take a while to receive the food and we grew a tad impatient. We did notice a lot of people arriving afterwards for pizza that they had called in for. We even ran into a neighbor who had called in for a pizza and she did explain from past orders wait times can run about and hour or more. So call ahead if you are in a rush. The pizza was airy, thin, and NY style slices. BIG, and comparable to Di Fara Pizza in Brooklyn, which I have also reviewed. Although I could have easily eaten about 3 slices. The slices were not heavy. They also serve suzy Q donuts, which we grabbed one for the kid, and gelato which we might go back for in the future. You can grab some premade slices if you are in a rush. They have a self serve water station, and a television in the restaurant. Street parking. The pizza is a pretty penny, but well worth it. I recommend, and I'd probably be back to take out and bring home.
