Ugo's Pizza Bar: Reviews & Ratings
Having been to Naples, this is the closest pizza I can find to it. Have been here so many times. Pizza is always unreal & better than Pizza Pilgrims (who I’ve noticed are always highly rated). Service is always great & the atmosphere in the evenings is lovely. Consistently great food.
I've often wandered past and thought how I must try it one day... today happened to be the day... completely on the off-chance... all these years, i've been missing out on the best pizza i've ever tasted! The menu mentioned how they take particular care sourcing ingredients from Italy, I was absolutely wowed by my first bite and didn't want it to end... I had the Proscuitto Rocket with a side dip of chilli honey... bursting with flavour and juicy too, if you haven't been yet, go - you won't be sorry!!
Amazing! Last time I had such a good pizza was when visiting Italy! So so good! Loved the atmosphere and service was good as well. Will recommend and come back!
Sorry but the change in 2 months is huge pizza quality not as good only chilly oil not normal for kids and expresso no spoon of sugar and the 10 15 20 tip is spread across a screen at the bar not really comfortable to be honest
Best pizza in town. Sourdough yumminess, with high quality toppings. Anchovies were delicious. Reasonably priced.
My first experience at Ugo’s was on Father’s Day (here on holiday from Vancouver, Canada) and it did not disappoint! Started with tasty garlic bread with a choice of dipping sauces to engage the palate. Very nice. All of the pizza’s ordered looked amazing and the menu had a large range of toppings. I ordered the sausage and broccoli. Interesting combo and I would definitely order it again! Service was particularly friendly and efficient (a sweet young lady named Lola?). I’ll certainly return on my next trip. Perhaps open up another location in Vancouver?!
Absolutely love Ugo’s! I have been a few times before and will definitely be back. Wonderful pizza, wonderful atmosphere and restaurant! Thank you!
Food was great and Lola our server was fantastic a really lovely person
