Long time regular at this store and sad to day today is my last. I always order pick up under the name "Tom" and louis has been my go to and recommend pizza place for the last 4 years.

The last few months, our orders from louis is constantly messed up. Albeit minor like forgotten garlic sauce, or asked for honey garlic and hot wings blend and only get hot. No biggie.

Tonight after a long day of work and errands we decide to pick up a quick order from louis as it's on the way home.

I ordered a club platter and side poutine and my wife ordered medium wings. She quickly realized she meant to as for bbq as hot sauce has been a probelm lately. We call back and ask for bbq instead of medium. Confirmed.

I pick up my order and when I return home, surprise, no poutine side and medium wings. I call back FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER about their mistake. The woman is very apologetic and asks me to come back. Great, more driving and more delayed dinner.

I arrive and wait with food in my hand for almost 5 minutes before I'm acknowledged. The lady grabs the food out my hand from behind and starts to open it up and go to the back. She returns and proceeds to tell me "they said this is bbq."

We've ordered bbq wings before from here plenty of times. I reply no, I can also taste hot sauce on those wings, they are not bbq. She goes back to the kitchen and then comes back and proceeds to argue with me that no they say it's bbq. And then asks me "well what do you want me to do with these?"

At this point, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I want to go home. Why was I asked to return to the restaurant to be met with an argument about my order? At this point I ask for a full refund because my time is fully being wasted.

As someone who was a very frequent regular, you lost my business fully after that. So tired of mistakes and when i finally addressed one, I'm met with an argument. So silly and so very disappointing service from a...

I understand why people like this place. - there is a warm welcoming vibe here. Our family(2 + 2) are just visiting Ottawa for the long weekend and based on the reviews decided to stop here for dinner. The restaurant is mostly booths of 4s or 2s with a couple of 6s, so coming with a large group could be problematic. We saw a large group occupying adjacent booths four 4tops so they could talk to each other - low walls between booths - don't expect much privacy. Our server was great and accommodated a few substitutions without any questions or hassle. Kids had the grilled cheese kids meals - the fries were quite good since they were real potato and tasted 'fresh' (not frozen) and were nicely crispy. The adults shared a med vegetarian pizza. They mention on the menu that their pizza crust is thicker and that you can request a thin crust. I don't normally prefer thick crust but decided to try their default..for the whole experience. I'm glad we didn't choose thin crust due to the fact that even with the thicker crust, the slices were too loaded with toppings to be eaten without cutlery. I can see why the garlic dipping sauce is a popular recommendation. The thick crust leads to larger end crust which was nicely seasoned (wifey said too salty but i thought it was fine) and dipping them in sauce would add some nice flavour. We didnt get any garlic sauce and i actually thought it was fine without it since i dont normally get those dips. We finished the meal with slices of coconut cream pie and cheesecake. I'll say that we enjoyed our visit, but aside from the fries, everything else was good/okay compared to the many superlative reviews for the pizza and pie. It's a good place to sit down for a meal and enjoy the hospitality and value...anyone thinking that they're coming here for a 'best you ever had' pizza or coconut cream pie experience should temper...
