TLDR: Delicious Indian-fusion pizza from ghost kitchen/community kitchen in an industrial park…read more I was flipping through UberEats searching for deals (as I often do, lol) and I found this place called Bytown Pizza, which I had never heard of before. A quick search showed that it wasn't too far from my house. They were having a deal of $11.75 for a small one-topping pizza, buy one get one free. Because I added an extra topping and one of the toppings was a premium topping, I ended up paying $17.75 for 2 small two-topping pizzas, still a good deal in my books. And each pizza came with a free dipping sauce. I got chicken (premium topping) and bell peppers as my toppings. For your pizza sauce you get to choose between regular pizza sauce, butter chicken sauce, or BBQ sauce. I got butter chicken sauce. And for my dipping sauce I had a hard time choosing between chili lime and masala mint. Ultimately, I went with the former. The pizza was delicious! They were so generous with the cheese. The chicken was so flavourful. And I loved the herbed crust! It's easily one of the best Indian-fusion pizzas I've had. The pizza smelled so good too. I was drooling in the car driving home, haha. My only complaint is that the chili lime dipping sauce was too salty. I do like that they give you lots of customization options. You can get thin, thick or regular crust (I got regular), regular or well done (I got regular), regular or light on the cheese (I got regular), you can also get extra or double cheese for an additional cost. There's also the odd option of no cheese o_O And like I previously mentioned, they have different base sauce options. Service was friendly and welcoming. They are located in the Cookhouse Community Kitchen, which is a commercial kitchen that multiple businesses share. Their entrance is on the side, whereas most of the other businesses share the main front entrance. It's strictly takeout. It's in an industrial park. There's a parking lot at the front with free parking, but there are limited spots. Free street parking is also available. I'm so thrilled to have this place open up not too far from me. They opened about a month ago, so end of 2023. Oh, I went back a second time like a week or two later and ordered the same thing, except I got the Mint Masala dipping sauce. The pizza was just as delicious as the first time and I enjoyed the Mint Masala sauce better. I will definitely be coming back again and again! (9)

UberEats…read morewas having a BOGO (buy one get one free) offer and one of the options was their Margherita Pizza $14 for 2 (the price in the store is $12 each). While my heart always prefers to buy directly from restaurants, my wallet likes UberEats offers, lol. The pizzas themselves were really good. The crust was thin and chewy. The basil was really fragrant. The sauce was flavourful and not excessive in amount (which is my usual complaint at most places, overly saucy pizzas, lol. ). The cheese was tasty. Although I should mention that one of the pizzas had a weird hole in it. O_o (see pictures) Service was not all that friendly or efficient. They were super busy with lots of orders (which I was happy to see, since businesses have been struggling as of late). They had lots of receipts lined up and the prep area was full of pizzas. I arrived 7 minutes after my app told me my order was ready. When I arrived, there were 2 food couriers there with their branded insulated bags and a regular customer who was empty-handed. They were all standing towards the back of the restaurant, so I assumed they were just waiting. I approached the "order here" part of the counter and advised that I was picking up my UberEats order. She asked me my name and I told her as I simultaneously held up my phone close to the plexiglass to show her my order number (Covid Pandemic times and all, and I'm aware that sometimes it's hard to hear people through masks and plexiglass, lol). She said "it's ready" and directed me to the cash register area. I went to the cash register area and saw 2 boxes on the counter that I was pretty sure was my order. I stood at the cash register area while the staff there was boxing up orders and ignored me. She yelled out "order for Skip." So I stepped back as the Skip the Dishes courier approached her. He took the pizzas then left. Then I went back to the cash register. The staff continued boxing pizzas and then yelled out "order for Norm" and I look at the customer at the back of the restaurant. He doesn't move. She repeats "order for Norm" and no one claims it. She then pulled down her mask and said something to her co-workers. She then finally acknowledges me and says what's your order number? I told her, again showing my phone screen. She then says "oh that's these ones here" and takes the two boxes that have been sitting on the counter the whole time and gives them to me. I thank her, no response (perhaps she didn't hear me?), I take the boxes and leave. Times are tough right now, and I don't know what people's personal situations are, so I'm still rating this place 4 stars, as the pizza was good and the price was great with the deal I got, but that was my experience. I wasn't too happy with the way I was treated by the person at the cash. Street parking only.

Got ripped off by this location, Paid $6 for two dips,…read moredidn't receive either, and then didn't get the proper refund. The service was kinda crappy too, I showed up early for my pickup order. Told them what I was waiting for, then when it was done they didn't let me know it was done, so I kept waiting. Finally, asked if this was my order, and yeah it was, and they said it was complete - I was missing two dips. Then I was unable to secure my refund, so pretty irritated. So I was underserved, didn't get my full order and overcharged. Their pizza is crazy overpriced anyway. I think I'm done with Pi.Co for good after this, their pizza isn't that good.

The biryani came with yogurt chutney (bachadi) and we ordered a basmati steamed rice to go with the tikka masala. Pro Tip: there is enough steamed rice for 3 normal people. We ordered medium heat, even though we're used to the hottest because our waiter, Fenil, recommended it. He was right--it was sufficiently hot for us. The food was seriously delicious and I highly recommend you give this place a visit. They also have takeout. The ambiance is casual, quiet (even with the well-behaved children who were there, and the seats were very comfortable. Oh, and the service was great--although Fenil felt more comfortable dealing with my Indian wife when we ordered. Nice demeanor and pleasant experience. I really think you'll enjoy it. With tip and without drinks or dessert, the bill only came to around $66. Go for it; I think you will like it.

I had lunch at Pho VN Express recently and I liked it…read more So this place is a bit hidden. It is on the second floor of an office building and if you weren't specifically looking for it, you may not know that it exists, unless you work in the building, I guess, lol. In fairer weather, they sometimes put a sandwich board at the front of the building to advertise, which is how I learned of this place initially, but in the winter there is no such board. You just need to take the elevator to the second floor and follow the signage. I got the VN Special Vermicelli Bowl ($12.99). It comes with a spring roll, 2 shrimps, and your choice of chicken, beef or pork. I chose beef. I asked for no bean sprouts, no sesame seeds and no fish sauce, and my bowl came out as requested. The beef was lean and tender and had a strong lemongrass flavour to it. Fortunately, I like lemongrass. The shrimps were flavourful (and de-shelled, thank goodness), and the spring roll was crispy. The vegetables I got were shredded lettuce and a very minimal amount of shredded carrots. The vermicelli was plentiful and a good texture, but served lukewarm and not hot the way I like it. The bowl was topped with crushed peanuts and fried onions. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal, but would have liked some more carrots, and some other vegetables like pickled daikon or cucumbers. Service was friendly and efficient. The place has a fair amount of seating. It's much bigger than I expected. They are only open Monday through Friday and primarily cater to those who work in the building or nearby. I'm looking forward to trying out their other offerings, like their pad thai :)

It is nothing fancy but the menu has the standard fare. My favourite dish is the vermicelli bowl with grilled meats (pork, chicken or beef), shrimps and spring rolls. The bowl is a good size and comes with a bottle of water! I have tried the pork chops on rice and found it a bit on the small size. I hear that people who have had the pad Thai liked it so I will try that next and the pho afterwards. I will report back. Again, it is a small cafeteria style place but the food is as good as any of the Vietnamese spots in the neighbouring area, mostly along Bank street. The service is courteous and prompt. There is a steady stream of people lining up but the line moves fairly quickly.

The potstickers were fantastic and you could tell were made in house. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the price for just 4. I should've stopped my order there, but I made the mistake of adding some General Chicken. It was made using dark meat which is fine, but the meat itself was very fatty and grisly. The sauce had good flavor, but I couldn't get past the texture of the chicken. I ended up only eat 3-4 pieces and throwing out the rest. I wonder if there's an option for white meat chicken instead.

For those who love meat bowls this is the place. Good service, fresh food, and a fun atmosphere.read more
