A great slice of both a historic local establishment and the pizza it serves. The main dishes on the menu are also excellent. Great, classic service in a traditional diner-type atmosphere that's filled with Elvis memorabilia and relevant local news clippings. Make reservations ahead of time as there's a loyal regular-crowd and the restaurant only has limited seating. In my opinion, the only thing that would make it better was to remove the only TV in there (that I could see), to truly make the atmosphere feel like you're transported back to an earlier time. An Ottawa staple.

We are very frequent customers at Moe’s because the staff are excellent and the food is delicious, no matter what you order: chicken tandori pizza or salmon dinner. Everyone makes you feel like family. But tonight we had the best meal ever: Lebanese Combo. Thanks to Rena Shiek for the suggestion and the excellent service.

A traditional pub atmosphere with Elvis.The menu said the gourmet mushroom pizza would have three wild mushrooms, instead there was only one type, but it was so

My team and I had the pleasure of trying the Maya's Jerk Chicken Pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. From the fresh Jerk Chicken to the generous other toppings this pizza was flavourful and amazing. I do recommend this pizza to anyone looking to try something new. They also have many other great food options that is sure to satisfy any of your cravings. The service on top of the great food is right up there too. I was greeted by Jess and Donna who are very sweet and treated me like family. They even helped me with the door and made sure I was safe by letting me know to watch my step when leaving there lovely restaurant. I highly recommend you try this restaurant!

If you are looking for a Pizza in Ottawa that has a unique and authentically Canadian appeal, Go see Moe. After seeing the sights in our nation's Capital we went looking for a place to enjoy a dinner that wasn't produced by some minimum wage employee working for a chain. Upon finding Newport, we could tell from our car driving by that we needed to stop as the enclosed patio seemed filled with locals who clearly knew something we didn't.As soon as we walked in and smelled the freshness of the ingredients and felt the warmness of the staff we knew we'd stopped at the right place.The pizza it's self was fantastic, The dough tasted rich and freshly raised with a hint of real yeast and hand folded and tossed consistancy rather than just some frozen frisbee crust. The tomato sauce was flawlessly spiced and prepared and the cheese and meats were cut by a butcher not a machine. You can tell that the owner cares not only about his customers but his product.If you are looking for a taste of napoli and won't settle for anything but a true certified italian za, this isn't for you. This is a thicker more traditional Canadian Home made pizza that is hearty and filling, not a cracker with toppings but a meal in it's self (although we did also order the spagetti and meatballs just to try that too and it was great)I wish more people took as much pride in who they were and what they did as the owner of this place, he was great, polite, kind and asked us how things were and what he could do to make our visit better. He even tried to excuse himself for being a little slower than normal as he'd hurt his arm recently. Still he was more engaged in serving us and the other tables than anything else and our meal was brought out rapidly and without anything missing. There were a few other guys trying to rush out and being a little rude and the level of customer service he showed them by being understanding even while very busy with multiple tables was a class in understanding that the customer is always right. Say what you want but Moe's generation understands that in a way these kids staring at thier phones all day will never get.Thank you for all you do Moe. This place is now on our family's map and we will be back one day for sure, we only hope to be sat in your section, your attitude and work ethic is as satisfying as the food it's self.

Great food as always. Really good service. Only complaint, they kept opening the door into the dining area from the street, which let in a blast of cold air.
