Terra Cotta Pizzeria — Restaurant in Ontario

Terra Cotta Pizza - A family review

(Our quest to find the best pizza place in Windsor)

Review #8 (See Sarducci's East for review #7)

$54 for 4 individual pizzas (6 slices each).

Terra Cotta is a nice little spot. You can dine in or take out. It would be a great place to sit in the summer as there is a patio out front. Sitting inside on a Winter Day would be nice too. It's a cozy spot that reminds me of New York or Chicago.

Dad - Neutral critic

Pre taste - 7 - The look reminded me of little Caesars pizza a bit, except a lot thinner.

Cheese - 6 - It was pretty hard to taste the cheese and sauce at times because the pizza is extremely thin. There's not much to it

Sauce - 6 - Same as cheese, the pizza is pretty salty. It definitely takes away from the quality of the pizza.

Crust - 7 - Crust was pretty good. Nice and crunchy. A lot of it though. Definitely not for you if you're not a fan of crust.

Overall - 6 - I really wanted to love this pizza. The restaurant has charm and the staff are very friendly. Unfortunately the pizza is more like frozen pizza you can buy from the grocery store. It's very pricey for the quantity and quality offered. As I said, the pizza was very salty. It really is a last moment option. Or because they serve alcohol, having a slice with a beer. I would not recommend Terra Cotta to anyone who's never had it before.

Final...

Made reservations 3 weeks earlier Poor service ftom the start as the waitress just wasn't listening 4 of us placed simple pizza orders Ordered 1/ 2 litre white wihe ....room temperature Sakads came obviously Nader in advance as they were warm and a big soggy Wife's pizza came out......not what she ordered wanted shrimp on her pizza but got mushrooms does not like mushrooms They offered to make a new one but it would be 20 minutes..... We were going to the abba concert and time would not allow us to wait. She said they would make it and we could take it with us......OK Ordered desert and asked for the bill and the pizza the offered We were told 10 minutes and all set Paid bill and was told they were just putting the pizza in now wait 20 minutes or cone back later...........what? Cook was rude send said it's not his fault as they were short staffed.... Waitress said the same thing.......well if short staffed call someone in to work....work harder..or tell guests when arriving....... Waitress became rude and seemed not to care of the error. Thd other pizzas were dry burnt on the edges and not enjoyable Peace used to be decent but folks there is much better out there and close by. They are resting on their reputation instead of building it. Total fail.....will never return and in my position dealing with hundreds of Windsor locals weekly . I will be telling of our dreadful dinner experience and will be advising not to go there. Further to the above the washrooms are deplorable and the stairway up looks like someone lives there. Terrible...

Will not be returning to this pizza place after being abused by the waitress. We had a visitor from Germany and saw it as an excuse to drive across the border to Canada and have a wood fired pizza. We had a decent pizza the last time (1.5 years ago) and figured the woman probably just had a bad day when we were there last. We were met near the door by this same woman and told that our party of three could not be seated for another 3 hours with zero explanation despite there being 8-10 tables open. When inquiring about any options since there were clearly open tables... she became extremely cross and repeated that 7:30 PM was the best she could do. Then we asked if we could order 3 pizzas to go. She seemed upset to have to put in our order which we ended up eating in the car outside. The pizza is cracker thin now with sparse sauce and cheese. None of the photos you see on the older reviews are representative of the current pizzas. This is incredibly unfortunate. If you don’t care for customer’s experience or the food you make, you should stop torturing yourself and your patrons by continuing your deception that is based largely on reviews you no...
