Best wood fired oven pizza in town! Small cozy place with friendly atmosphere and excellent service.

Delicious thin crust pizza, tastes very fresh and flavourful. Pricing is fairly reasonable too.you could split a pizza with someone else or have one to yourself. Would definitely go back if I was in the area and craving pizza.

Good wood fire pizza. One of the pizzas we ordered was super salty though (the one with anchovies). Otherwise, a little pricey but good. I had higher expectations because everyone had raved about it but just didn't quite meet the mark.

It couldn't be better
Homemade tomato sauce over the bread was perfect. Their unique olive oil with many spices inside gives you a special option to make your pizza a bit more spicy!

Busy, fun, and good food. Get a reservation or takeout and enjoy. Fun spot but a bit noisy. Still, enjoy the flat pizza. I recommend the wild boar.

Visited august 2023. The pizza i ordered wasn't very taste like wood fired one. The couple staffs who were there seemed unfriendly

Had a little lunch with my daughter and found this gem. The service was top notch. Wish I had got the servers name to give a shout out cause she was a master of her position. The pizza was amazing and the garlic dip is the best I ever had. Will be visiting again!

Thrilled Tennessy Willems has reopened after renovations!
The service was excellent. The server provided details about popular pizzas on their menu without rushing us to make a decision. We chose the Soppressata which was delicious and prepared well.

Had been wanting to try this place for a while…
Well sorry not sorry but this was a huge disappointment.
The Cesar salad was pretty gross, too much vinegar not enough creaminess, had a hair on the cheese, it had a somewhat foul taste, so we didn’t finish it. Should mention my salad had a small hair, I left it on a plate on top of the peace of cheese it was on and didn’t say anything waiting to see what the waitress would say, she didn’t notice and I didn’t feel like having that convo in the cramped quarters. Also worth mentioning Cesar came out extremely fast, so not sure if it sat…
The pizzas was edible, onions were all cut to different lengths (ya I know I’m too picky), didn’t have enough cheese in my opinion, toppings were not great, bread was nice and crispy and was cooked nicely with good dough (based on taste).
Service was good, quick, friendly, courteous.
Music was a little too loud, the seating was incredibly and uncomfortably cramped.
Prices were higher than I would expect based on the quality of food.
We were craving pizza and wanted to try this place while in the area, honestly probably won’t go back based on the food and my stomach pains a few hours after…
I had great experience at pizza nerds which is where I should have gone, nothing ventured nothing gained I suppose, I know better for next time I’m craving wood burning pizza.

My favourite Ottawa pizzas! I just found out they are closing for 2 months for renovations. Looking forward to their new look in May.

I've been searching for a unique artisan pizza joint in the city of Ottawa. This is the first that I've actually enjoyed. The wait staff was very attentive and friendly. We ordered their most popular pie, a wild boar sausage and pear, Neapolitan pizza.
As is traditional, it was fired quickly in the wood fired tradition. It was tasty and satisfying. While my friend ate it like a traditional NY pie, I elected to use the knife and fork provided. As we left, we couldn't help taking in the aroma of the wood fired ovens, outside. A delightful experience.

My son and I each ordered a wild boar pizza. When we got it home, the pizza and box were literally dripping with grease!
However, my wife got the Margarita and quite liked it.

Tasty, super thin-crusted pizzas (something you can easily fold). Pizzas were quick to be come to our table once we ordered. My favourite is the Helen. I think the personnel can be improved.

We have been ordering from this restaurant for over a year to support them through the pandemic. We are very happy with the salad portion size and the pizza. But the last two times the salad has barely fed us and the pizza doesn’t seem to have as much on it. Has anyone else had this experience? Disappointed.
