16 Best Italian Restaurants in Oshawa

“Best pasta place around I’m constantly craving some penne rosé I’ve brought a lot of my friends just to try some! They are so welcoming and friendly best customer service around. You’ll never find a place as cheap and as good quality as this.“

“Enjoyed a lovely lasagne dinner at Avanti Trattoria, while catching up with a friend. The staff was very friendly, and as it was a quiet evening, they didn’t rush us out when our conversation lasted much longer than our meal, coffee and dessert.“

“Food was delicious. Service was great until the end when it came time to pay. The server was run off her feet. There should have been someone else on to relieve her when she got so busy. Area where we sat was extremely dark in the middle of the day so that took away from the experience a bit. Also the server and the menu should state the shape of the gluten free pasta. I ordered gluten free fettucini but they brought out some weird shape pasta.“

“The food at East Side Mario’s is consistently good, but the service leaves room for improvement.

Having visited three times, I’ve noticed that some servers come across as dismissive and judgmental. When I requested a refill on the all-you-can-eat soup, salad, and hot bread, I was asked, “Are you sure you want more?” What concerns me most is the difference in how the same server appears to interact with customers of different backgrounds. I’ve observed noticeably warmer and more welcoming service toward other customers, which raises concerns about whether all guests are being treated equally.

I hope management takes this feedback seriously and ensures every customer feels equally welcomed, respected, and valued, regardless of their background.“

“Ive always enjoyed my visits to the Dog, great atmosphere / banter with the regulars. Excellent staff, especially Brandy, Candice (Candy) and Abby. They are the reason the pub enjoys the visits of the regulars...we come back for a reason. Cheers.“

“This spot is such a hidden gem! Easily some of the best Italian pizza in Oshawa — can’t believe more people aren’t raving about it.“

“I had a fabulous experience here. I had been trying all afternoon to get a Pizza Pizza gift card and this was the only location that had one available. The person who looked after my request was very kind and apologetic that I had been to multiple locations that day. I decided to get a slice of veggie pizza as well while I was there. It was loaded with fresh veggies, the crust was excellent and it was delicious! Excellent food and customer service! Thank you again for your help!“

“Have been ordering from there since they opened and have never been disappointed. Best pizza hands down“

“I ordered during a street festival that I was a vendor at - and not only did the Oshawa location call to give a heads up about the event, they even hand delivered it to my booth and then even followed up to ask how it was. The food was incredible and the customer service is unmatched. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back soon“

“We ordered 12 xl pizzas tonight and I am pretty disappointed. One of our volunteers called with the number of slices we needed and instead of being honest, your store did the math with 8 slices in an XL pizza when there should be 12 and added a 12% tip without confirming first. We are a not for profit organization and this cost us over and beyond what it should have.

I messaged the owner who normally takes our order and he responded within 30 minutes to fix the issue. Although I found the store worker to have poor integrity, the owner was the very opposite.

The pizza itself was hot and yummy.“

“This is one of my kids' favorite Pizza locations. We always come here because they have so many halal options and they make the best pizza ever. Most of the time, my kids don’t want to go anywhere else they love that they make it just the way they like it.
I’m so happy we have a great pizza store with halal options. Thank you so much for always bringing a smile to my kids’ faces.“

“Tonight, we were craving a good pizza. I’m so grateful we came to pizza pizza and had our server be Hubert. When we walked in the restaurant was extremely spacious, well kept, organized and most importantly; clean. The pizzas that were on display could be trusted for the fact of no cross contamination due to the separation and neatness within sections. When we had started ordering (asking abt Halal options as well) it was Hubert who made our experience even more worth it. He led us into ordering a deal instead which had saved us some $. While other corporations may see this as “losing $ from the paying customer”, we see it as creating a comfort towards the buyer to become a loyal customer. Later Hubert had given us a realistic timing and explained our pizza back to us with clear and thoughtful communication. We will be coming back for our comfort warm pizza and Hubert’s warm hospitality. :)“

“I had a great experience at this Pizza Pizza location. The service was extremely quick, and my order was ready faster than expected. The pizza was fresh, hot, and tasted delicious. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service.

What really stood out was how clean and well-maintained the restaurant was. Compared to other Pizza Pizza locations in Oshawa, this store is noticeably cleaner and more organized. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be ordering from this location again. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious food, generous portions and my boyfriend said he now has "mad sow" disease from being so full. We ordered takeout online and asked for our meals to be made with love - the staff were great at making this happen. They even left nice messages and hearts on the packaging. We shall be back 😊“

“Did the staff change by any chance because, shockingly the pizza tastes divine since the past few times I have been ordering from here. The cheese is just melting in your mouth, the sauce is oozing out on each bite, the toppings are actually existing on the pizza, unlike in the past where they were completely non-existent, and the crust is so soft yet has that crunch to it. Whatever you guys are doing, please don't change because your pizza finally taste delicious.“

“Amazing customer service! We ordered very last minute, close to closing time and they still took such great care of us. The service was super quick, they even gave us free dipping sauces and the pizza was excellent! They were so kind and welcoming while taking our order and never made us feel rushed, even though they were about to close. Really appreciate the great service and delicious food. Definitely recommend!“
