Philos Greek Cuisine and Pizzeria — Restaurant in Ontario

While I have been to this restaurant before, this time I opted to order take out and went with two pizzas: a veggie version and a classic all dressed. Delivery was fairly quick--always appreciated. Purchases are either cash or advance paid via credit card.

I've been doing a pizza challenge looking for the best pizzas in Corwall. So far the best I've had was from King George Restaurant and that still stands.

The toppings were fairly generous and they did not go heavy on the tomato sauce (which I prefer). The veggie pizza was too salty due to the green olives used but I was pleased to see that they added real tomatoes to it. The all-dressed pizza was definitely decent and I could only eat 2 slices because I found it very filling.

Now the crust: While it was decent, I found it too chewy and too dense. IMHO a top notch pizza should have a lighter, airy crust--thin on the bottom and puffy on the outside rim. While the bottom crust was not too thick, the outer crust was lacking in air bubbles creating the dense result. Making pizza dough is an art and once you've had the lighter type, it's difficult to go back to a heavier one.

To summarize, these are not bad pizzas and certainly acceptable but I'll be continuing my search for the best pizzas...

First time stopping in wasn’t impressed at all. Service was super slow. Wasn’t overly busy. We ordered a starter and our meals at the same time as we waited our waitress was found to be sitting at customers tables. While other customers walked out from not being served. We still stayed. Our drinks took longer than needed and was wrong water instead of Diet Pepsi. :/. When out starters finally showed up it looked like it was deep fired twice. We didn’t even have time to get half way through the starter being shared by 3 people and our main course was being rushed to the table. Odd. For sure but ok presentation was ok at best. One bit in to the chicken and it was cold. All our chicken was cold. About the only good thing about the meal was the salad. When we complained we got told to wait for the waitress. When she came she wasn’t too. Ice about this situation. Instead of refunding our bearly eaten meals she credited back one plate of food when I agreed to pay with zero tip she slammed the receipt down on the table and said here’s your receipt and walked away. Very disappointed Custer will not return. Don’t recommend this place. Shame as it does...

Was greeted, seated, and left hanging in the balance over 15 min. There were 5 staff members just standing there chatting away, with no sense of urgency or care. I finally spoke out loud and said we would like some service, please. I could clearly hear and will never forget the servers' words, I quote, "That's not my tables over there, I switched, remember, I am not doing them!" By this time, 25 minutes had now passed before someone came, and we finally ordered drinks. The gingerale was flat, and you could hear the house manager say to the server, "Would not surprise me." The food well, there was hair in the plate very visible, not sure why it was even served like that. Replaced the dish with other ingredients that were asked to be omitted in the first place. The food was not very good, like no pride was taken to make it. The service was really bad, and I had to consistently get server attention.....best part to skake your head and roll your eyes on that there were 5 servers and 4 tables to service???? The atmosphere, well no one seemed to care, disfunction and quiet. I will never go back,...
