We enjoyed The Civil! Tasty pizza, fresh toppings, nice dough. Had the salad with goat cheese and strawberries was delicious. Nice drinks blood orange aperol spritz, and a nice Farm Leaue Hazy IPA right up my alley. Great service. The only downside and reason for not getting a 5* is the cold draft coming in everytime the front door opened. We were sitting near the door and was a very cold night. Is a small space and just 1 door at front so hard to avoid. Recommend requesting a table closest to the bar during cold weather to help lessen the cold drafts. We'll definitely be back!

First visit to The Civil and enjoyed their pizzas very much. Lots of choice for non-tomato lovers. Staff warm & friendly

The food was amazing! I've tried several different pizzas here and not once have I been disappointed in them. The service is great! And we just love the atmosphere of the restaurant!

Unfortunately, we had a very disappointing experience at The Civil on New Year’s Eve. I made a reservation weeks in advance to celebrate our anniversary, and when we arrived, there was no table available for us.
Instead, a table was set up for us in the middle of a walking aisle, without anyone explaining the situation, acknowledging that they were overbooked, or asking if this arrangement was acceptable. We were not offered the option to wait for another table or given any alternatives.
A young man working there was apologetic and explained that the manager in the back had made a mistake, which we appreciated, however, the manager never came out to speak with us, apologize, or offer a solution. That lack of accountability was disappointing.
Given that it was New Year’s Eve and our anniversary, we ultimately chose to leave.
We understand that mistakes happen, especially on busy nights, but better communication and ownership from management would have gone a long way. Sadly, this was not the experience we were hoping for on a special occasion.

Very nice place for pizza and casual food (sandwiches, etc.). But the highlight was the cocktail flights - they were all very unique and excellent!

If you’re closed for a Private Party, please update your Google page, and put a sign on the door so people walking up know not to wait around.
Honestly looked like a great place, gorgeous setting, the food looked great! Looking forward to going one day when they’re available

Had an amazing dinner at the Civil! Great food, great drinks, and great service. Our server (the asian girl with glasses, sorry we forgot your name!) was super friendly and helped us choose a pizza based on our preferences. Will definitely be back!
Everything was fantastic. Our servers were friendly and attentive, and told us about the specials. The drinks were fun and festive and tasty! The pizza is always delicious and always has the same quality everytime I go, you can count on the consistent quality. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great place to eat in Kitchener.

This is a great spot for excellent pizza and yummy flights of delightful drinks. I had the Margarita Flight and Bouje pizza... soooo gooood!! Anthony, our server, was fabulous!! He was friendly, helpful and really nice to deal with. Great service! Definitely worth checking out but make a reservation to ensure you get a table.
