Hawthorne's New York Pizza and Bar Ballantyne

Molly Cassidy offers charming service while maintaining a profoundly strict professional aura.

Great food and friendly staff.

First time customer. Food was ok. Not worth the $100+ I spent. Caramelized onions not done well. Wings tasted old. Meatballs was like out of a chef boyardee can. Pizza's were meh but at least the crust was good. Food was lukewarm. Could've tried to at least kept it warm before pickup. And nothing like hot celery wrapped in tin foil thrown on top of warm food and not even packing the dipping sauce I chose. I even tipped take out and still can't get my order right. Disappointing all around.

I would highly recommend stopping by this location. We received great service from their team who were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was cool and inviting with a musician playing outside it set the mood for a fantastic night with friends, a date night or family outing.

We keep coming back, it’s easy and convenient when you live a few blocks away. But it’s just such a weird vibe. It clearly all starts with the very odd manager guy. And then trickles down to the staff. The pizza itself is pretty good, make sure you order it well done. Strangely it seems like they changed their pizza sausage to this, cutting up pre-cooked sausage links unfortunately?? The garlic knots are outstanding, and they have PBR tall boys. It’s definitely a nice touch to have a handwashing station outside of the washrooms, when it’s working.

I like the food here but my online order took 45 mins in the middle of the day. Also, I ordered 3 meals and they did not include any of the bread in the bag. Disappointing.

Just ordered pizza for the first time from Hawthornes. I’m from NY and haven’t been able to find good pizza around here. This pizza was absolutely delicious! I’m so happy I found this place!

Best Hawthornes there is. Top Notch!
PS. Thanks for the celery.

Good, but takes a while for food.

Food was good.
Service no to the standards. Average Service.

They saved our Valentines Day night!
We had plans to go somewhere else that night, but they had no tables available when we went in. We called another spot and asked about their wait, but when we got there, there was an hour wait and $70 minimum per person. We thought we were out of luck for finding a place on Valentines Day...
But then as we were heading home, we remembered Hawthorne's! We decided to give it a try not expecting to get in, but to our surprise they said we could get a table in just a couple minutes! We were so happy, and we had a wonderful meal with friendly service.
We have always enjoyed Hawthorne's for their pizza and pasta.... but they truly saved our Valentines Day night! Thank you so much for a great experience!

My family and I had a great expirience here! All of the food was delicious and they had paper table cloths that my toddler could color on!

Its ok to hang, best thing there is the garlic knots

The take-out girl was very nice, but unfortunately our bbq chicken pizza was plain, dry, and disappointing. Cheese was hard and rubbery. Garlic knots were good but very greasy. Just felt like a bit of a waste of 40$ and not sure we will be returning.

Dining at Hawthorne's was a true delight. A thousand times better than any other recent dining experience. In an era when restaurants are charging you more and providing less (less food, less service) this was a very welcome change. The food was great, the service was excellent all at a great value. Kudos to Hawthorne's!
