Pizza A la Casa and Greek - Ottawa, Ontario

The owner is rude. Absolutely zero people skills. Glares at you, doesn't understand what a conversation is and if you ask how he's doing, he just starts giving you the stinkeye. There's often his unsupervised kids running around the place bothering people and getting themselves hurt and doing whatever ... they want in the kitchen (going through the ingredients and playing in the cheese for example, great sanitation right there) Owner expects customers to babysit his kids while he works. Owner also has zero concept of stocking items needed for restaurant. Always out of drinks, cutlery, etc. Order a poutine and try eating it without a fork. What a joke. Half the time you order food, the price changes to whatever he wants. No mention of why it fluctuates 2-3 dollars between orders. Sometimes you get a drink with your combo, sometimes you have to remind and ask and get glared at. This man should not be running a business. That said, his father is a kind old man who tries hard to fix the problems his son creates, and the old man makes pretty good food. He often forgets drinks with your combo or accidentally charges extra for them, he does mean well though. The pizza is actually alright. Far from the best in town but edible. If the dough weren't so dry it would be one of the better ones. There's usually a healthy amount of dry toppings. The poutine is one of the worst poutines you'll ever have. No curds, just shredded cheap mozerella pizza cheese, dry freezer burnt fries, the powdered mushroom flavored gravy is the only part that is edible. Have not yet tried their Greek. Read more

I met the new pizza chef and he is a really nice guy and he seems really passionate about pizza! More people should flow through there and give them a chance. They have made some serious improvements to their menu. Pizza is delicious, not greasy like elsewhere.

Friendly staff, reasonable prices and tasty food. Never had an issue with my orders. Life saver when looking for a late night dinner/snack. Love the Game Time Platter and the A La Casa Spicy Pizza. Delicious house-made garlic sauce and tzatziki.

By far one of the best pizza places we have ever been and deffinitly the best we had in Ottawa. They were so kind and friendly and gave us free dipping sauce (which was fantastic and homemade) and then the pizza was really great. Kitchen is open to the shop ... so you see them make it, this place far exceeded our expectations. Read more

The service was on time and pizza was good, however, I ordered the lamb souvlaki and there was hardly any meat. They forgot the dressing for my salad and the rice was awful and bland. I recommend the pizza, but not the platters. For $15, I would have expected more ... meat, more than 2 potato wedges and flavorful rice. Read more
