Gourmet Pizza Cafe — Restaurant in Waterloo

Sadly, I won't be buying my pizza here anymore. I have been faithfully ordering pizza from them since they opened their shop. Not sure what has happened but the owner who seems to no longer be there supervising the shop has left it to his daughter to manage. And i noticed that it seems things are good when he's around but not when he's not minding the shop.

I called at 7:40 to order a pizza and was told they are no longer taking orders as they close at 8 and they have 5 orders still to make. Wow! I guess they're ok with telling their longtime customers to go to another pizza place. And I guess I will.

I get that they all want to quit work at 8 pm. So they should change their closing time to 7:30. I've owned restaurants and I would never have turned away a customer even if they walked in 1 minute before our listed closing time. It's just bad business to turn away customers.

So.. I went to Score just down the block ... they were happy...

The Pizza here is exactly what it says- Gourmet. I had a great lunch here today, by far the best pizza I have ever had. I love quality toppings on my pizza and enjoyed generous amounts of goat cheese, prosciutto, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and kalamata olives (delicious real olives, not the canned slices one you get at a regular pizza shop, gooood ones!). In addition to the amazing food, this café offers a great place to sit and enjoy a glass of wine with your meal. The décor is absolutely adorable and makes you feel as if you are eating in a café in Venice. There are bistro sets outside during the summer hours to enjoy lunch in the sun. The service was great, fast and the staff were kind. Over all I recommend Gourmet Pizza; it offers delicious food, a great atmosphere, friendly service and all at a reasonable price. Try it- you’ll...

This place is simply the best pizzeria in town...trust me. I've been to many places and have tasted pizzas in Europe, US, and Vancouver, BC, and I think Gourmet Pizza has the right flavour, taste and texture. This also happens to be at the most trendy and upscale neighbourhood in this entire region, and the price is also a big factor-- very affordable. Compared to places like Pizza Nova, where the guy is rude and his pizza only so so, you get top service, excellent food, and don't end up breaking the bank. My slice of pepperoni pizza (large) added with a can of pop came to only 4 dollars, while I had to pay 5 bucks for a slice of CHEESE PIZZA at PIZZA NOVA only a week ago. Trust me people, This is the place to go, and if you don't believe me, just ask the next guy from Vancouver who's tried everything in this town...
