Colonnade

Love the pizza from Colonnade, just not this one or the one on bank Street. Yes they share a name and the same boxes. But that's about it, there was very little sauce on the pizza I had last night and the pepperoni was put on very sparingly, love the Gilmore location because they put a lot of toppings, not this place. I ordered wings with my pizza and nothing was done to the wings, just meat deep fried, no seasoning whatsoever, all the flavour for the wings was dependent on the sauce that came with it, the sauce (honey garlic) was so bland, you can tell it's from a jar or container and served directly to the customer, not worth $15 for 10 wings with not effort put into them. I pay the premium price of $50 for 1 pizza and 10 wings to be served something that has a premium quality. This is just another pizza place, trying to get as much profit as possible reluctantly serving you food, save your money and order elsewhere.

Colonnade Pizza is a landmark pizza restaurant in Ottawa for 50+ years. Considered one of the best pizza restaurants in Ottawa certainly over time. However, not all Colonnade restaurants are the same. I am not sure why it would be different but the downtown location is consistently good and perhaps the only one that gets my 5 star rating. The pizza served to us from the Colonnade pizza on Carling Ave was luke warm, not all that appealing and was not one of those pizzas that begs you to have one more slice. Basically very disappointing surprisingly so. Maybe just on off day? The service however was just fine. If I crave a Colonnade Pizza I will go downtown!

The pizzas are always good but today they went above and beyond. I ordered 4 pizzas for pick up for Mothers Day lunch, they made a mistake on one and two people couldn’t eat it because it had ham on it. When I called they insisted on making another one and the manager delivered it all within half an hour. Thank you for saving our Mothers Day
