Pizza in Waterloo Region
Pizza in Waterloo Region
My personal vote for best pizza has to be Pepi's. I still remember when they used to sell it at Rangers games about 10-15 years ago.
"Only the insane have the strength enough to prosper. Only those that prosper may truly judge what is sane."
Good idea for a thread! I added a poll option.
I'd have to say Pepi's is my favourite as well. Huge amount of toppings, locally owned, and great hours (open until 4 AM)! They should just expand by opening Waterloo & Cambridge locations too.
I voted other, boston pizza
I voted other as well--Twin City Pizza. I love Pepi's to pieces, but it is extremely expensive. Twin City makes a pie very similar to Pizza Pizza's, only it's locally owned and run...and their cheese bread is AMAZING.
Interesting, I've never been to Twin City before, yet I tend to eat pizza 2-3 times a week. I'll try to check them out during the next few days. Love supporting locally-owned establishments when possible too.Welcome to the forum btw!
Here's their Yellow Pages Ad
I remember when Twin City set up shop, I was in my 3rd year of University living on Cedarbrae; sadly enough I ordered often enough that they knew my name and order just by caller display.
I still make an effort to head out that way when feasible for pizza. Great stuff.
I'll add a recommendation for TwinCity, that was my other vote. I discovered it for the same reason as Osiris, I live on Cedarbrae a 20 second walk from TwinCity.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned City Café. Their pesto chicken pizza is awesome...
Agreeded! My family tells me that Fratello Pizzeria on King St in Waterloo is the best pizza in town... I have not had it though so... http://www.pizzafratello.ca/Originally Posted by Trogdor
Very awesome! They got my vote in the Other column. Well they share it with Toppers.
I'd like to see some more wood burning pizza places in KW
It's good, I wouldn't say best though. Definitely easy access after a night at the Fox though
Maybe not the best pizza (still very good) but McMullans is my favourite place to eat pizza in the Region as the 25 buck special buys you a tasty thin crust pizza and a pitcher of Mill Street stout...yum!
The pizza at Cafe Rugatino is superb, however, as mentioned on the BV thread, the restaurant got sold and may not be around much longer.
Added: There's also Gourmet Pizza at Waterloo Square. Both are more expensive than the chains but their pizzas are at another level.

I know I said I'd try Twin City, but I felt like beer today as well so thanks for the suggestion. Not the absolute best, but definitely one of the better pizza's in the area and it is an awesome price.
McMullan's Pizza - Pepperoni, Italian Sausage & Green Pepper - April 25, 2010
Looks good. I love how they give you shakers of parmesan and hot pepper flakes at the table (just like Mother's Pizza, for those old enough to remember). Not a huge fan of the rest of their menu but at least they have a pretty big selection of beer on tap, and pints are quite cheap.
Casa Rugantino in Belmont Village has amazing pizza. I will go all the way to call in an order and drive 20 minutes to pick it up, even though it's cold by the time I get home and I have to re-heat it.
I also agree with IEFBR14 that the Gourmet Pizza at Waterloo Square is quite good as well. Their artichoke pizza is my favourite.
I got horrible food poisoning from the Pizza Hut in Goderich about 10 years ago and refuse to return to any location ever again. Besides, who goes to Pizza Hut anymore? I think Boston Pizza is the new Pizza Hut.
Fratello's is pretty good, although probably because it's overly salty and greasy.. but you want that sometimes.
I went to Gourmet Pizza a few times shortly after it opened, but it didn't seem all that special to me.. nothing gourmet about it that struck me. Perhaps it has changed since.
Pizza Hut is only good for a bout of competitive eating and you don't feel like a Chinese buffet. But man, the quality at the lunch buffet is terrible.
I also like the pizza at Sole. I don't know if they still have the design your own pizza thing anymore, but there are some good ones on the menu as well.
McMullans is deliciolistic... i love it when the food comes in on a raised surface and i just get to regard it as food and not as something that is on a table. food and glorious warm food.
When it comes to value for money.. I think that Twice the Deal offers a pretty hearty Pizza...
I refuse to buy from Pizza Hut anymore. Just about had a stroke (oddly enough not from the pizza, but the price) the last time I went to order a stuffed crust medium pizza with 2 or 3 toppings from Pizza Hut. It was about $29!!!!!!
For that price at Twice the deal.. I could have had 3 Extra Large with Pepsi and dipping sauce!
