“Excellent service, and excellent food. We stayed at c hotel to celebrate our anniversary as we got married there years ago and wanted to return to celebrate. We ate at Baci for the first time last night and we had the pepperoni and margarita pizza. Honestly it’s some of the best pizza I may have ever had. It had the taste of Neapolitan pizza but without the flop. It was nice and crispy with a beautiful char flavour, loaded with pepperoni and cheese. I can’t wait to come back to eat again, thanks for a great dinner!“

“Our favourite Sunday cooldown after work. Elyse, brado, and there server who served us (updated once we get his name) (Feb23 @12am) are especially hardworking and who put effort in treating their guests. As someone who is a server in this industry, we can see who puts effort into their work and who enjoy it. This is a well community based restaurant with multiple connections with one another so I deeply respect, recommend, and appreciate the people who work here. We'll always be back for the people who work they're hardest here.“

“Delicious fresh food, have ordered take out for the past 20+ years, always ready on time, brought out fresh & hot with a smile. Latest gastronomical delight: a hearty hefty large lasagna for my wife's 50th Birthday Party 🥳 ordered 3 days in advance, ready on time, hot & fresh, kept warm in a silver tray we later rinsed & recycled. This was encased in a slab cardboard pizza box making it conve bynient to carry. Served to our 12 guests about 40 minutes later receiving delicious reviews, we still have some leftover.
Well worth it.

Usual order is a large pepperoni pizza. Priced right, delicious, hot & ready on time.

Creamy Cannoli are available for last minute dessert choices, as is an assortment of tasty gelato.
Frontine staff consists of a friendly highly capable long time manager with well mannered efficient staff.

The 2nd location in the upper part of East Hamilton has larger seating options with a hands on owner, brother to Westdale owner.

Enjoyed a large lasagna“

“We visited this restaurant for Valentine's day after hearing good things from many long-time Hamiltonian friends.

I'll be honest, we didn't expect much. The photos, advertising and other aspects indicate the restaurant has not been given love in a long time. Overall, that all continues to be true, however we were pleasantly surprised by the food, atmosphere, and drinks.

First, the house red wine was quite affordable, and was decent. I'm no sommelier, but I can taste a bad glass of wine, and this was not bad. I don't even know what it was, but it was good for the price. A quarter litre for just under $12 is really affordable in my opinion.

Secondly, the food. We ordered a ceasar salad to start, and it was quite good. You could taste the heterogeneity of the dressing indicating it was made by hand which was a nice touch. We didn't realize the meal came with a quite large pizza style bread included. We couldn't even finish it because so much was provided. I ordered the fileto di pollo imbotito a la marsallaa, and my wife ordered the manicotti al forno. My chicken was really good, not dry, and was not overly salty for a change of pace. If anything it was undersalted which I appreciate because there is salt at the table if you need it. Many restaurants today absolutely blast food, especially chicken with salt and the food here spoke for itself. The manicotti was quite good too. I tried a bite of it, and it reminded me of how my nonna used to make it. The sauce wasn't acidic, and the flavour just worked. Sadly they were out of tiramisu which we had heard was good, but we had something else that was good.

Third, the atmosphere. This place is cozy and old to be blunt. The bathrooms were kind of nasty, and the walls need a paint job. It reminds me of my nonno and nonna's house. Decorated like the old country with zero care for modern trends, it felt like somewhere I knew well. With some freshening up and keeping that old school decorations of random paintings of the countryside in overly ornate frames, and cleaning the bathrooms this place could be super cozy nice. I'm a bit of a lighting snob, I like warm lighting, and especially lighting that is consistent, so if I had one complaint (other than cleaning and painting) it would be that some of the lights were warmer colour, and some were colder colour, and one flickered on and off sometimes.

The service was slower, but it was nice, I got to chat and spend time with the person I came with. Reminded me of the slow restaurants in Europe where the food is great and the expectation is that you will stay a while. It's clear they were taking time to make the food we ordered, and that made the wait worth it.

For a starter salad, quarter litre of wine, soda water, two entrees and one dessert, the entire meal was almost $100 exactly. I challenge you to find a sit-down local restaurant with food this good for that price in the city. And further, I challenge you check out Giuseppe's if you haven't already.“

“Its absolutely incredible! Will definitely be back soon….“

“Excellent quality food and fabulous service. Thanks to Zechariah for taking such good care of us! Everything was outstanding“

“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 food and service. A must try!“

“Wery good food, must go and try“

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

“this place is a hidden gem. the most authentic Italian I have had. please go“

“We love Capri Ristorante! Our family has been eating here for years. We love the pizza! The food is authentic Italian with traditional homemade recipes. The staff is exceptional and we love that the owner takes time to speak with patrons. We highly recommend Capri Ristorante! 💕“

“1st time there since 2019. Our server (Kaylie?) was attentive, sweet and friendly. The white wine sangria was to die for!!! I'll be back.“

“They are sooo good! Also appreciate the frozen ones -they cook up perfectly in the air fryer!“

“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 store is absolutely fabulous my coworkers and I at Queens Garden long-term care love it“

“This Pizza Pizza is the best. The food is delicious. The place is clean and the employees are the best in Ontario. They always smile and help make the right choice. Employees like this are what make businesses successful. Thank you Pizza Pizza and thank Sonia and Yash“

“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!“

“Moved to Binbrook 5 months ago and was looking for my go-to pizza place. Binbrook Pizza has not disappointed! The pizza is generous with cheese and toppings, and the sauce has a nice garlic-spice flavour that really elevates it. It’s also small and owner-operated—not a chain—which is always nice to support. Love this pizza, the variety on the menu, and the appetizers too!“

“We recently ordered from them for our school graduation ceremony and the service was outstanding! The food was fresh, appetizing and exactly as ordered. They exceeded our expectations. Will be a repeat customer for sure, well done!! We ordered from Giselle at the Bovaird and Torbram location and she was an absolute sweetheart to deal with and went above and beyond!“

“I recently visited Pizza Hut and had an excellent experience. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure our order was taken quickly and accurately. The pizza came out hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings, just exactly how we ordered it. The crust was perfectly baked, and the cheese was deliciously good“

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Inclusive!! 🌈“

“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!!“

“This location is great. The staff are always friendly and the food is consistently on point. Due to a power failure at one point we had to order from another location and the food was a train wreck. This location sets such a high bar.

Edit: These guys continue to impress serving a pizza right at close. I asked if it was a problem and they wanted the sale. Hands down the best pizza pizza around“

“Amazing experience at Pizza Pizza! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast. The pizza was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The crust was perfectly cooked and the toppings were generous. Everything tasted great and the place was clean as well. Definitely one of the best Pizza Pizza locations I’ve been to. I’ll be coming back for sure!“
