The Boot Social Pizzeria

Definitely a hidden gem. Had an amazing dinner tonight with the family.

Started out a bit shaky as there was no table for our reservation when we got there, but they handled it with poise. Sat us next to the pizza oven (amazing to see the chefs do their thing) and took our orders there to minimize the wait. All staff were super friendly and willing to help. One of the pizza chefs overheard us questioning a menu item and immediately volunteered to help.

The wait staff were also top notch. I mentioned we were celebrating our son's birthday and were honoured with a complimentary dessert.

Oh, now the food. One of the best experiences I've had in years. Everyone was thoroughly impressed with our meals and there were no left overs at all! Even the starters had respectable portions.

Great food, great service, good value.

This was not pizza.the crust had no rise, no crisp, the toppings were good though. My guess the dough is pre-bought. Appetizer arancini was decent.

Music was way too loud. Very cold in room, and bar looked dirty and disorganized.

Update: I now use a cane and sometimes a walker and as such am keenly aware of barriers to mobility. Anyone with similar issues needs to be aware of the lack of safety bars or assist handles in the washroom. The entrance to the restaurant is ramped and the interior is roomy and barrier free. Not so much the restroom.

A comfortable well run and intimate restaurant. Creative small plates, great pizza, and a well curated wine list. Joe and his team will look after you well.

Fiona was a fabulous server! She was training Jessica who was a fabulous traniee and will be a great server:) food is spectacular as always! Gluten free pizza was so good the best in Oakville!

Nice thin crust pizzas. One of the best in town, with plenty of fine appetizers and strong selection of drinks.

Our food was amazing! The restaurant has a great environment (very lively) and the service was also great. Highly recommended!

Definitely come back again for the thin crust pizza. Good size portion and great flavour. Loved the tiny deep fried donuts balls with caramel sauce, perfect fun dessert. Service was super friendly. Ideal spot for a casual night out.

I called to order take out and I waited for over an hour until I asked for my $ back as the restaurant has forgotten my order. This happens on two separate occasions.

Had a great meal here with some friends! Kendra was an amazing waitress and was always checking up on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We had the buffalo chicken, hawiaiian and Mediterranean pizza and they were all amazing!

So the Boot is my local. I can’t lie, but they’ve earned it. Always friendly when I’m there. And the the food is great. Most recently they’ve added beer and food specials. So now it’s my favorite and more affordable than ever.

Incredible meal! The menu has so many great options, it was hard to choose. Meatballs, Arancini, and mozzarella sticks were all delicious. Pizza was perfect crispy crust and had abundant toppings. Lots of great flavour combinations, but the Honey Badger was a fave!

All our food was brought out piping hot. Service was excellent! Very personable and considerate of allergies.

HIGHLY recommend this place. One of the best meals I’ve had!

All the food was amazing. First time here and will definitely be back. The honey badger was my fave! Elle our server was wonderful. The whole staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and comfortable.

Always driving by this place and finally decided to give it a try. Our server was super friendly and helpful with menu options. My guest and I ordered a Caesar salad to share and our own individual pastas; linguine baked chicken Alfredo and sundried chicken linguine. Just needed a little salt but otherwise pretty good.

My wife and I had lunch, the food was awesome and we got the best customer service. Loved the ambiance and the cool 80s music that they were playing.

Nice people, good food and drink. Nothing more to see here people. Just go and enjoy this gem.
Edit- Did a veggie pizza take out this time. It was lovely and they kept it warm when I was running late.

Waiter was great. Pizza was excellent for my wife and I. My son had the Mac and cheese was great as well great food

Mediterranean Pizza not very flavourful or was the garden salad. Expensive dinner. $100 with tip to share one pizza, one salad and 2 glasses of wine. Service was very good.

Great place for drinks with friends or even a bite with the family. Great pizza, pasta and apps. The Owners and staff are very nice. They have Gluten free pizzas as well!

Thank you Boot Social, for our lovely dinner. Tony was our server, and was very attentive. He made us great Manhattans, as we sat down to order our dinner.
I had the calamari and caprese salad. Both were made perfectly seasoned and fresh. Hubby had the Honey Badger pizza. Not greasy, thin crust and the pepperoni cups, and the spicey Honey, were exactly what makes this pizza special.
Thanks so much to the chefs, and servers for an enjoyable date night. See you again soon.

Great experience having lunch at the boot, you can really tell the owner is passionate and truly cares about your service and experience. Great food and a great atmosphere, will definitely return

The best pizza I ever had. Freshly hand tossed, thin crust, excellent sauce, cheese and pepperoni. All I can think about is coming back.
Cute little restaurant. Friendly service.

Came here for the first time with a group of friends from out of town. My boyfriend and I really loved The Gingerman (Same owners?) so we felt it was the perfect time to try The Boot. We were not disappointed. From the appetizers, to the mains, to the dessert, it was all delicious! We ordered the arancini, the Butcher's Block Pizza, and the dessert platter but we still couldn't resist sharing and tasting what everyone else had ordered too. Would highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

Are you kidding me! This place IS the place to go for proper Italian pizza, the best Ceasar you've ever drank and don't get me started on the rice balls service is top notch food is hot and drinks ice cold always. Keep it up Boot!

Good service and atmosphere. Enjoyed the new expanded patio. Would prefer that pasta was served in a bowl, so it doesn't get cold.

Was at The Boot today with a friend for lunch on the patio. Our server was super nice / informative and prompt. The food was great.supporting local small business always.

We had the Mediterranean Pizza which is a vegetarian pizza & it was one of the best Wood Fired Oven Pizza we ever had! Patio is lovely & relaxing! Good vibe inside too!

Incredibly tasty thin crust pizza! Everytime I go fiesty fig is always on the list but lots of great combinations to choose from and lovely staff! Was sad and worried when they had shut their doors for a bit but glad to see it’s still up and running!

Pizza was raw and greasy, mozzarella sticks were dry and tasteless. So disappointed! Trying to support local, but for $54, never again. A five year old could have made a better dinner. Off to find my Tums.

This restaurant has been amazing every time I’ve come by, the best employees in Oakville. The foods even better. Will literally never stop coming here.

Ordered the butcher block pizza. The thin crust, the seasoning (oregano I think), the meats and cheese, wow, these guys make a good pie. Will order from them again. Be mindful of their hours (quality pizza does not get made at 3am ok).

Food is always delicious and service is always the best! We visit here regularly and we highly recommend.

My pasta had TONS of garlic in it.but the waitress came back pretty quickly with another that had a lot less garlic, which made up for it. Some more veggie options would be super.

First visit to this quaint relaxing pub/pizza ria and was pleasantly surprised! Service was great, the thin crust mediterranean pizza was delicious, the arugula salad equally tasty and generous. Definitely will go back and try other foods.

Surprisingly good food and pleasant service. This place looks like just another sports bar but that is quite misleading. The thin-crust pizzas are truly delicious, and the appetizers are good as well. They also serve very mice cocktails and wine!

We have been frequent diners at the Boot and even during Covid we have enjoyed take out! Their menu selection is excellent and the pizza, well let’s just say this is what pizza really is supposed to be like. The Margarita is the best in the area but so many to choose from it is hard to decide some times! Joe and Don and their team make it a family favourite!

Great service & friendly staff! Must try their Kerr Street Pizza! Omg deliciousness! You could sit at the bar, chill inside or enjoy the outdoor patio.
Thank you all for your great service & food. I’ll be back!

Great food, small place which makes it great. And the service is great. I highly recommend The Boot

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! The food is one of the most authentic Italian foods I've had and I have travelled all over Italy - it took me right back there. The price point is very reasonable as well. Pasta was very fresh and delicious. Pizza was done in a wood oven, cooked to perfection with some very interesting toppings (we had one with honey on it and wow!). The arancini balls are done in a white (maybe truffle sauce?) that was a very welcome difference than the traditional tomato Sauce.

I recommend this place to anyone who asks about Italian - it's worth the drive if you don't live close by!

Service was amazing as well waitress was very knowledgeable - food came out quickly enough but not too fast that we felt rushed.

I simply like their food. I always get awesome customer service here. The place is well kept and the workers are always welcoming. Will visit here again.

Cozy atmosphere, excellent food & super friendly staff! Not to mention they have espresso there too. Definitely telling others about this place & going back for more next time I'm in Oakville!

One of our local favourites. Amazing pizzas (and Sunday they’re only 13 bucks). Mussels are spectacular. Great food and fast, friendly service. We’re here once a month.

A bit too "bougey" for my tastebuds when it comes to pizza. Nobody needs a salad on their pizza. Leave that for the rabbits.

Amazing restaurant with wood oven. Great service and friendly atmosphere. Try it, and thank me later.

The very best pizza in town! Delicious thin crust with amazing combinations- my fave is the Feisty Fig!

Service was pretty slow but granted they shoulda staffed more servers as the place was busy. Food was decent. My scampi potion was kinda small. Taste was good and servers kind.

It’s hard to screw up risotto fungi and yet they did. Worst I have ever had! Waaayyyy too much garlic made it taste sweet and spicy all at the same time.not a good flavour profile for risotto. My dinner partner had gnocchi.also not good. There were no more than 15 gnocchi in a bowl of sauce that was more like soup. I have heard their pizza is great, so my advice is to stick with that.
But have to also add that service was fantastic!

Really good pizza. Got the 600 degree chicken and it was perfectly cooked. Every dollar was worth it. Will come back again.

Great pizza. Generally don’t eat white pizza but this was delicious. Dessert (raspberry/chocolate one) was amazing. Our waitress was super helpful in deciding items.

Somethings changed in the last year, not sure what
Pastas are a little steep for what they are
A lot of oil and very little salt, bland comes to mind
Used to come here all the time as its close to work, but the team agrees its just OK lately

The BEST pizza place in Oakville. Beautiful decor and the Owner is very nice. Highly reccomend this place.

Great food and service. Tasty pizza options - thin crust, yum topping combinations, and a healthy portion size.

Food is good but after two absolute disasters with their service staff complete waste.

Both times the restaurant virtually empty. Waiting 15 minutes to get a drink order which server more interested in talking to her friends that was seated after us. This is the second time in a row this has happened. Go socialize on your own time!

Don't waste your time unless you're doing take out.

I genuinely love this place. Ignore it's subpar location because the rest of the experience is totally worth it.

The atmosphere is trendy and comfortable. In the summer several walls open completely for a great indoor/outdoor experience. There is music as well as multiple TVs with different sports playing.

The beer and wine list have a good variety of quality options. Various craft and locally sourced beers are available.

The menu in my opinion is awesome. It's your classic pizza-pub fare BUT totally reimagined. It's the best of familiar and experimental combined. Subtle changes in ingredients and presentation style make your meal more interesting and elevated than a typical pub or pizzeria might offer.

*Special note*
The head chef, Tyler, has done a wicked job with the summer menu. Sticking with the reimagined theme, classic dishes like roast corn, steak and potatoes, and chicken sandwiches have been turned into must have experiences recreated perfectly for the hot summer vibes.

To top it off, everything is priced quite reasonably. From drinks to food, all options are fairly priced. There's even some killer daily deals that run throughout the week. Bottom line, go here. It's worth it.

2 stars is pretty generous and a majority of that came from the interior design.

We ordered 1 pizza and 1 salad. We waited over for 40 mins because they were trying to satisfy their takeout orders first before making our order. The pizza itself was mediocre and the Caprese salad was literally just a ball of mozzarella and some baby tomatos? Confused as to why it took more than 40 mins to put that together. Also for $13 it was barely enough as a side for two people.

Pretty disappointing overall. Would not go back.

We just ordered a calzone, panzo and stromboli.

Compared to photos we saw online the items where tiny! Maybe the size of an average hand for calzone and panzo.

2 maybe 3 pieces of meat and just salty.

We placed our order on ubereats today so disappointed we wanted to try for a while as thought it would be comparable to photos.

Don't think we'll order again from this place $80.00 and hardly any food.

Very sad as an Italian to call this italian food.
If my Nonna saw this food she would be disgraced.

Great experience at The Boot for lunch recently. Service was very quick & friendly and the food delicious with great ingredients. Can’t ask for more!

I've decided. This place has the best pizza. I've been to so many people, so many pizza ovens, so many "authentic Italian pizzas" but is the only place I walk away from going "I need to come back as soon as possible".

The Boot serves the BEST pizza in Oakville. Thin crust, variety of toppings and house made sauces, baked in a wood burning oven. They’re absolutely delicious, ‘Fiesty Fig’ and ‘My Cousin Vinnie’ are amongst the best! The Tapas style menu provides the opportunity to try a bit everything. This eatery is definitely a family favourite.

Fantastic pizza! Best pizza I've had since I was at Grimaldi's in Brooklyn, NY in 2004. True Neopolitan pizza! Highly reccomended and will definitely make a return visit!

The food here is absolutely fantastic! I went with a huge group of friends and ordered a bunch of appetizers, pasta, and pizzas. They're pizzas are absolutely phenomenal and they give such a wide variety of toppings! They're appetizers are super tasty and the sauce that comes with some dishes is super spicy, but super good. The only downside is the initial service we received was quite rude and condescending, however they were much kinder when the full party arrived. I overall recommend coming here some good pizza and pasta!

Great food and attentive staff. Pizza choices were great and our waitress was great at suggesting switches for the vegetarians.
But tight and colder on the cold night but still had a great time.

Seriously excellent pizza - thin crust that is just perfect crisp with just right amount of chew. Casual atmosphere and fantastic service

I had a wonderful time here with my girlfriends. The food was delicious, service was great, chairs were comfy and atmosphere was cozy. I would definitely recommend and will be back
