“The pizza was amazing. The owner Mansoor is always a great guy to deal with. Always welcoming and super supportive in building your order. He gave me a few recommendations on what sides I should buy and they turned out to be the best ones! I got a deal for XL 4 topping pizza along with chicken wings tossed in a sweet spicy sauce and a cheesy garlic bread! The quality was the best I ever got from a pizza pizza!! Highly recommend this place!“

“I wish I could give more stars for service. My best friend sister and I were there for dinner tonight and we had Ruby as our waitress. She was friendly, hilarious and so communicative throughout our time there. She was constantly at her tables checking in on what anyone needed, friendly to everyone she spoke with and just on it over all. The food was amazing and brought out very quickly! We've been to this location many times but this has been one of my favourite visits mostly because of Ruby!“

“If you’re looking for a little slice of Italy in Hamilton, let me save you the trouble , The Express Italian Eatery is it. From the moment you step inside, you feel like you’ve been welcomed into a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, the staff are genuinely passionate, and then… the food arrives, and you realize you’ve struck gold.

The Calzone alone deserves its own standing ovation. Golden, perfectly baked, with that irresistible balance of crisp outside and soft, cheesy goodness inside, it’s the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes for a moment just to take it all in. The pasta? Forget what you think you know about pasta. Every bite is fresh, rich, and bursting with the kind of authentic flavor that can only come from a kitchen that knows and loves real Italian cooking.

Every single plate that comes out feels like a love letter to Italy. Whether you’re diving into the pasta, tearing into that calzone, or sampling one of their other creations, there’s this unmistakable feeling that you’re tasting something made with heart, tradition, and a touch of Italy ! Thank you everyone and especially to Natasha for her incredible service and making us feel like part of the family.“

“Found this fantastic Italian spot right in the heart of Hamilton and I'm so glad I did! The food is outstanding and both the pizzas and pastas are clearly made with care. The star of the show has to be the pizza: the base is absolutely perfect, and the homemade sauce is truly amazing. It’s the kind of meal that makes you plan your next trip before you’ve even left.“

“Excellent food. Cozy environment with friendly and attentive staff.“

“friendly..quick..price....options....dips and dressings are just too good.“

“5 stars for our experiences. Fantastic menu i w tried4 different entrees now and they all been excellent. The servers are experienced with the menu and wine offerings. They are also excellent. Made our dinners very special“

“We joined friends for a lovely meal yesterday. Of course there were a variety of dishes from which to choose; but with all the reviews and reccomendations it made our choices difficult. We ended up ordering the meatballs with garlic bread, a definite hit!, the Pizza Fuks, the Flat Iron steak with rapini, Oysters, Seafood Risotto and mushroom Gnocchi. All were excellent. We first tried Born & Raised when they opened; we found the wait staff then very arrogent , which soured our experience. So we tried again, after hearing good things from friends and family; so 10 years later tried again. Boy are we glad we did! Wait staff were very friendly, easy to talk to and as a celiac, my only disappointment was I was told I could not have the gnocchi. Our drinks were prepared well and the food again, was outstanding! We definitely will return, thank you to all in the restaurant that made our night out so great. Major kudos to the chef and kitchen!“

“Best pizza, crust is light and delicious! Sauce is also very good. My husband had the spaghetti and meatballs, definitely worth a return visit. Don’t let the outside deter you as the building has seen better days. The food is the focus in a clean and pleasant dining room even though it hasn’t been updated for awhile. White table cloth is an appreciated!“

“Not only was the food absolutely amazing, but the service was phenomenal! Our server not only handled the lounge and the dining room BY HERSELF, but was also efficient and friendly! The only downside was overhearing overhearing group of ignorant people complaining unnecessarily. If you have to wait for your food here, trust me, it's more than worth it . Best Italian meal I've had in over a decade.“

“Great place to eat in the heart of the City... Highly recommended“

“First time going here. The food was honestly really good, our server was very kind and efficient. The only downfall is the parking.“

“We went to Peruviano for the first time tonight and we will definitely return. Both the service and the food was fantastic! We had the beef hearts and octopus for appetizers. For mains, my husband had the Aji De Gallina and I had Sudado de Pescado. I didn’t want any rice and was given the option of asparagus instead. The fish and asparagus were both cooked to perfection. My husband loved the chicken and enjoyed the fried cassava so much he asked for an order to take home. Portion sizes are generous. Looking forward to returning!“

“Wery good food, must go and try“

“I had a great experience at this Pizza Hut! The food came out hot, fresh, and exactly how I ordered it. What really stood out to me was the service—Shannon, the manager, was super friendly and made sure everything was perfect. It’s not often you see a manager so hands-on and caring about customers, and it really made the visit feel welcoming. Definitely coming back again!“

“We just stopped by for a quick lunch (Tuesday 19th around 1:30) on our way home, and i gotta say, one of the best pizza slices I’ve ever gotten. So fresh and hot. There was a lady working and she was incredibly sweet and nice to not only us but to everyone who walked in inbetween us being there. sat down and ate, super clean dinning area & bathrooms as well. Definitely will come back to this location next time we have our pizza pizza craving 🍕“

“I have to go with what my 6-year-old granddaughter said. She said it was the best pizza she'd ever had. And she wish she knew how to make it. We had a a pizza with mushroom, pepperoni and bacon, very thin crust which is what I love and it was really good. Delivery was awesome. They said it would take 20 to 30 minutes. It actually came sooner than that. An update when The driver was nearing my house and he was very friendly. Very nice. Everything went smooth. No problems at all. I will certainly go back to Domino's pizza and order again. This was Saturday, November 2nd.“

“This Pizza Pizza is my everyday go-to spot. The staff is always so friendly and nice— they treat me like a regular and usually know what I’m about to order before I even say it. We’ve been coming here for a while now, and the service has always been great. They’re super quick, always happy to customize my order, and everything comes out just right. The owner? Chillest guy ever — I’d grab a slice and life advice from him. It’s just one of those places that feels comfortable and familiar.
Thank you for all of my visits!!“

Parking: There Are Ample of parking space.“

“The pizzas aren’t the best but they are great for what is expected of a pizza chain of this caliber. Still enjoyable on those long weekends where you just want to chill. Ordered take out and delivery from here multiple times and haven’t had any issues so far.“

“I recently tried this pizza and was impressed! The crust was baked to a perfect golden brown—crispy on the outside yet soft inside. The generous layer of cheese melted beautifully, creating a nice stretch with every bite. The toppings were fresh and flavorful, especially the jalapeños which added just the right amount of spice without overpowering the taste. The tomato slices and sauce gave it a nice balance of freshness and tang. Overall, it’s a hearty, flavorful pizza that satisfies both spice lovers and cheese fans.“

“Have been visitng this place and getting deliveries. We always had nice experience and delivery drivers are nice with delivery timings and service. The attendant Jaimin does a great job with order taking and is always helpful regarding extra quetions.“
