Gluten free crust (made from cauliflower)
For our gf friends! Specify which pizza it's for. We can't guarantee absolutely zero cross contamination with the crazy amounts of flour in our building but we certainly try and keep it separate from our normal operation!

Sandwiches
Add a Smash Burger
When we butcher our sirloin steaks we have leftover beef we grind into ground beef for burgers! So they're only occasionally available. We top it with a slice of old cheddar, white onion, pickle slices, iceberg and house burger sauce!
Smashed Chickpea Sandwich
Chickpeas mixed with vegan mayo, lemon, carrot and herbs. Served on toasted white sandwich bread and dijon aioli.

Extras
Chili Garlic Dip
Crowd favourite!! With a mystery ingredient! Please notify of allergies. Vegan.
Chocolate Chip Cookie

Original Local (473ml) ABV 5%25
Fresh, clean. Ottawa based!
Big Rig Alpha Bomb (473ml) ABV 6.9%25
Slightly hazy pour; golden yellow colour with light head. Aroma is over-the-top, showing citrus/grapefruit, orange, tropical fruit, caramel, herb and pine.
Dominion City Sunsplit NEIPA (473ml) ABV 6.5%25

Surprise Beer (473ml) ABV 6%25

Wine
Malivoire Small Lot Gamay (750ml) ABV 12%25
The Malivoire Gamay Noir is light bodied gem from Niagara. Hints of blackberry and plum with a peppery finish. Perfect buddy for the mushroom pizza.
Malivoire PinotGris (750ml) ABV 12%25
The pinot gris is dry but less citrus and more stone fruit. Light in body but a bit more robust than one might expect from an Ontario Pinot Gris.
Malivoire Cabernet Franc (750ml) ABV 12.5%25
Fruity raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate and pure cherry syrup flavours merge with soft herbal tones, leaving cinnamon spice on the finish.
Malivoire RoseMoira (750ml) ABV 12%25
Its impossible not to think of Catherine O'Hara when you hear Moira Rose. However, there is no connection. The Moira vineyard is one of Malivoires favourite plots. Its a zippy dry rose that pairs extremely well with food. Hints of red berries but dry on the palate.
Malivoire Small Lot Chardonnay (750ml) ABV 12.5%25
Zesty, fresh green apple, pear and lemon carry through this wine.

Great thin crust fresh pizza! Loved the mushroom one we ate it to fast to snap a picture 😂 it’s called the “Bank” mushroom pizza. Eat it fresh while it’s hot to truly enjoy!!

Great food, staff and atmosphere! My friend and I split the Queen Elizabeth pizza which was delicious, along with a cookie for dessert. The staff were so nice and had a really good music playlist playing too. Defiantly coming back!

We had the Hawaiian pizza and goat cheese pizza for our first dinner at this restaurant and they were amazing! Delicious light crust and delicious toppings, we thought we would need takeout containers but we were wrong! 😅

The White Russian and Ashton cider were also very yummy. Ashton is a dry cider, quite refreshing!
