Signed up with Ottawa Foodies simply to review this. Was there today and had an amazing pizza.
Half Tofu Jerk, half mushroom.
It was the best pizza I have had in the Ottawa area BY FAR.
Also you cannot beat the location with beautiful picnic tables in the shade or not.
Absolutely awesome. I may go once a week forever.
I'll write another review in a few months to tell you if this is consistently good or I just happened to be there on a great day.
Cheers.

Pizza Luigi's has just opened a new location in Chelsea, and it's fantastic! The dough is superb and the topings are SO tasty! Their location is beautiful too and makes a nice stop on your way in or out of the Gatineau Park. I have no idea why some of the other comments are so negative, when this is some of the best pizza I've had in the Ottawa region!!
Oh, and any of their mushroom pizzas are amazing! For anyone who knows mushrooms, these are not your typical Pizza Pizza mushroom toppings - possibly why they're a little more expensive. But well worth it (plus a nice drizzle of truffle oil).

I'd have to agree with shabba.
This comment is not at all inappropriate.
Look around next on your next visit.
Pizza is ok. Peperoni so cheap it might as well be balony. I saw the bag thawing on the counter (is that legit?): Lesters presliced in a 5kg bag.
I don't see how the 1 foot step up the patio is wheelchair accessible.

Verona Truffle.
If you haven't tried it yet, you are doing a grave injustice to your taste buds. King eryngi, blue oyster and a ton of other tasty local mushrooms with crispy pancetta and a drizzle of truffle oil. If there was going to be a pizza joint in heaven, this would be it.
Their Caesar salads are also quite awesome, with loads of big croutons, fresh Parmesan cheese and more of that fabulous pancetta.
Worth the drive and then some!

Here is a picture of the Verona Truffle. Mix of mushrooms, pancetta and truffle oil on thin crust. Very good mix of flavours. The crust was a little harder than the regular crust this time. I think i prefer the regular crust because it's the right moisture and one can savour the herbs they put in it. Make no mistake, we devoured this whole thing in no time.
I am perplexed by the negative comments but many seem to be dated. My husband and I have been ordering from Cheesy Luigi every two-three weeks for the last year since we moved in the neighbourhood and we love all their zas! The other better pizza in the region is Tennessee Willems, in terms of gourmet pizzas. This is not comparing with Colonnade or Louis', the more traditional pizzas.

Simply wow and I am not a big pizza fan usually. Homemade crust and fresh ingredients. I tried the "BBQ Chicken" with BBQ chicken, roasted bacon and onions. Totally recommend.
A friend also recently had their current special which comes with meatballs and he also recommends it.
It's located right in the middle of Old Chelsea, across from the Chelsea Pub. Worth the detour!

"Mushroom salad" consists of grilled and slightly marinated or flavoured red peppers, mushrooms, artichokes and feta cheese on a bed of roquettes. An excellent, light yet tasty side to a pizza.
They also have a Greek and a Caesar salad. I have tried the Greek and it is equally good. It's nice to have other good items on the menu of a pizza joint to meet everyone's cravings in one order.
