The bar has potential but if I owned a bar and I wanted people to come and sit down and hang out for a while and spend some money. I would do three things. I would make sure that they had a comfortable place to sit. I would make sure that the atmosphere was good enough for them to enjoy and stay. I would sell them stuff. I don’t see any of these things happening at Hart road.
The foot rest that was up at the bar was recently removed, taking away the stabilization and support for adults who sit up at the bar. The chairs up at the bar are the only ones that somewhat offer any back support. The chairs at the tables have backs on them, but they are set back so far that one has to sit far back into the chair awkwardly in order to have any back support. Next the music is god-awful. I know that the bartenders can’t hear the music behind the bar because they’re busy and it’s loud back there but when customers hear things like back to back heavy-metal, or repeat depressing music genre on, It really kills the vibe. The music box gets expensive for customers to keep going all night. Paying attention to the atmosphere is just as important as paying attention to the drinks in my humble opinion.
I ended up having to put my feet up on the empty barstool next to me because the pull on my lower back from having my legs dangling for hours, really does catch up with you. Next, the menu hasn’t changed in the seven years that I’ve been going to this bar. And I guess it’s good if you’ve never had their pizza before but after so many years, it would be nice to see at least one new thing. Maybe a new salad or something. The service is great up at the bar and the bartenders are fantastic but having only one bartender managing a full bar seems counterproductive. I sat there and estimated that Hart Rd. could have doubled or tripled its sales by simply having someone out on the floor, taking...

Read moreWhile we've not experienced every little pizza place, we've done a fair turn on the West Side. Hart Road Pizza is by far, The Best Pizza we have returned too on a regular.
This is the quintessential taste that makes you close your eyes slightly smile and just melt as the flavours explode in your mouth. I know you never ask the secrets of a magician, but I couldn't help today but to ask, how JUST how! Is your Pizza always on point each and every time.
Everything but a few offset ingredients like the Thai sauce for the Thai chicken Pizza, is made in house. Only the Best cheeses are ordered. Dough is prepped, proofed, timed just right. Everything they do to their Pizza is completely true to the food they use and the intent of providing a damn good taste.
We have had off the menu, and asked for something different, if they have it, they will do it. Service on,point, beers are cold and the liquor selection is well worth an after work let the hair down fun. Back in the day apparently they've had live music, if they could incorporate that again, it would tip the top for this Neighbourhood bar.
Off the path for travelers, but...
