Their pizza was really good! Everyone there is very friendly and has great recommendations! Also, their butter tarts were amazing. Can't wait for my next visit.
Great little bakery just outside of Bracebridge. Been dropping in for bread for years. Recently tried their pizza and was not disappointed. Fresh made in the wood oven while you wait. Good selection of ingredients and generous portion of toppings. Small dining area outside. Cash or e-transfer. Staff are friendly and the vibe of the place just feels right.
The pizzas are amazing, and the bakery items are fantastic. Best butter tarts in the Muskokas, their English muffins are perfect and their bread is top notch. I’ve never had anything from here that wasn’t absolutely fantastic.
This is my favourite place in the Muskokas. The pizzas are fantastic, but what has me going there several times a week is the bakery items. Their sour dough bread is excellent, but I am absolutely addicted to their sour dough English muffins, their scones, their ginger cookies and their butter tarts. Every single thing I've tried here has been a 10/10.
My first impression of this business had me pretty excited to try their pizza. It’s a neat looking place with a great concept. Everyone seemed super nice. I’m noticing that most people have rave reviews about the pizza so my opinion will likely be unpopular. The sourdough crust was the best thing about it. However, maybe we should not have ordered “roasted” red peppers, as they seemed to come out in more of a boiled state which turned it into a juicy/floppy mess. The red onions were in more of raw state and the pepperoni was pretty wet (no crisp whatsoever)- all problems that can be solved by implementing some heat overtop. I used to say I’ve never had a bad pizza, and I appreciate so many different types, but this is the first time ever that I could only take down one slice and abandon the rest.
If you're reading this review, don't miss your opportunity to try the best pizza you'll likely ever experience. Our family feels great after eating it too, which is far from how we usually do after having a slice elsewhere. They were even kind enough to entertain my sons curiosity by going above and beyond. You can tell the staff are proud of where they work, and the product they offer, as everyone was upbeat with a smile. Keep up the great work, I hope to introduce all my family & friends to you over the years!
By far the best pizza in Muskoka! We walked in and they were busy, but the pizzas still only took 15 minutes. They move fast in there! We also took home some organic wholewheat sourdough bread and were very pleased. It is finally nice to have a place that makes traditional sourdough bread. Thank you to everyone at The Oven for making Bracebridge a better place.
The pizza was great! Very thin crust at the bottom, lots of cheese. We picked it up on the way back to our cottage so by the time we got back it was cool -no fault of theirs, a 30mins drive will do that. We also got a loaf of sourdough which was delicious and fresh. Prices are on the high side but its supporting a small business. Would recommend stopping in and trying out their pizzas and breads. As previously said, make sure to bring cash or debit card.
They are delicious! Its sourdough and you can pick any toppings you want. Just amazing! Lots of option for vegetarians.
Went there first time today (16/11/24). The two guys there supper nice and friendly. Bought pizzas,sour dough bread,and cheese bread (yummy).totally recommend visiting if your in the Bracebridge area.
This place was amazing, the pizza was super delicious and so were the butter tarts made with real maple syrup. The service was also great they were very nice and were overall great people 10/10 would recommend.
Their products are delicious!!
The best place in town for pizza, hands down. You can feel the love that goes into each pie and Im never disappointed. Highly recommend!
Amazing place. Stopped for a staff lunch and we loved it. Will be back again ASAP!
Best pizza in Muskoka! Sourdough? Oh yeah!
The breads are wonderful, we take butter with us and eat them in the car. I will never understand tho, why a place that sells pizza opens after the traditional lunch time at 1pm instead of at 11 or 12. Food
Excellent pizza!
First time for me in Canada to eat pizza baked in a fire wood oven. So good experience.
This spot was recommended to us by a local and it did not disappoint! We created our own pizza and the girl working let us try the buffalo mozzarella before adding it to the pizza, so good! Really enjoyed this spot and hope to come back next time we are in the area!
Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza Food
Amazing Pizza! Thank you
Dog and human friendly.
Amazing sourdough bread, so so good Pizza, and tonight had their delicious quiche! To die for is their butter tarts! And oh their sourdough crumpets! So glad to have such a gem in our neighborhood! Very friendly service in such an eclectic space!
Awesome people awesome pizza!!! Parking: No issues on parking!!! Food : 5/5 |
Great pizza and staff!!! We ordered the Smokin Muskokan as well as Chelseas Choice. Both were absolutely amazing! When we were about to leave, our vehicle got stuck in the snow. A staff member came out and helped us clear a path. Would highly recommend this place for their kind staff and one of a kind pizza!
The pizza is truly out of this world. The butter tarts never made it home, next level and not to sweet. Sadly, they were sold out of their sour dough bread
Shockingly good. I had Chelseas choice, and it was probably one of the best pies Ive ever had (been to Italy twice, love pizza, yada yada). Dont sleep on the banana bread. As a cashless millennial, there really should be a credit / debit option.
Best pizza in BB, consistently 9/10. Real food My wife orders the pizza, pays for it online, and I pick it up and go. The staff is so nice
Delicious pizza. The crust wast perfect, and the toppings were high quality! Friendly staff. Well definitely be back. Food
Authentic local wood fire Pizza it was simply delicious. Staff were kind enough to bring our order outside at the parking. Also they were kind enough to compensate with Delicious banana bread and Sour dough bread for taking more then usual in making our order.
I enjoy wood oven pizza and have tried it at many locations around North America. The pizza at The Oven in Bracebridge is my favorite. The toppings selection is fantastic and toppings are fresh and not processed. The wood flavor from the oven is evident in the crust. The result is delicious. Highly recommended!
Chelseas choice pizza was recommended to me....pesto, parm, grapes, green onions, fennel sausage....a tantalizing treat for the taste buds. Blue cheese and black olive sourdough divine. Super-friendly and helpful staff. These folks are doing it right.
Love the food and the simplicity of the place. When I am around, I pick up pizzas in this place.
Came on the advise of some locals and so glad we did. Got 2 pizzas one for the kids and one for the adults. Adults were unsure so the owner made us a custom pizza, soo good. Kids were a little picky but they made the toppings custom on each half of the pizza, so children were happy. I chatted with the owner for some time and she was kind enough to bring us some freshed baked chocolate chip cookies on the house. I would add a picture but the pizza was too delicious we just started eating.
This is a roadside woodfire pizza restaurant - it does a lot of take out, but you can also sit outside in the Muskoka chairs while you devour a pizza. There are also a few picnic benches. The pizza was AMAZING! They make bread too, and it shows because the pizza dough was really delicious.
This place has some next level baked goods, pizza and the crumpets are super crazy awesome .must visit place
The best sourdough bread in Muskoka ! Worth the drive just to smell the baked goods!!! Highly recommend! Food : 5/5
Amazing pizzas and sourdough breads. Our second visit there. Delicious pizzas and breads fresh from the wood fired oven are a treat.
We had heard great things about Oven Woodfire Pizza, so I was really looking forward to trying it after two summer seasons there. We were all very disappointed. I ordered a tomato basil, pepperoni, and sausage pizza. The crust was good, but I never dreamed I would have to ask for cheese on the pizzas; the tomato basil pizza had some sauce, some basil no tomatoes! The pepperoni and sausage pizzas had some sauce and the toppings, again, no cheese very bland and pretty tasteless pizzas. We all have had far better elsewhere. Won t be ordering again
Amazing pizza worth the price for authentic sourdough and fresh ingredients.
Order the margarita and Chelsea yday. Really nice seating outdoors but I think the pizza waaayyy overpriced for what you get. The taste it pretty bland. Sourdough base and crust is cool. Still overpriced
Best Pizza in Ontario. Love the sour dough crust.
Pizza was outstanding! Kids loved it, I loved it too. It s not cheap pizza and worth every penny. Cookies and bread are not to be missed
Great spot with wood fired pizza! Lots of other good eats too!
Been here many times. Great people, great wood oven pizza! Never disappointed
Kind of off the beaten track but WELL worth it! A small, simple little shop that only does takeout but it is absolutely delicious. They also sell a few other bakery items which are to die for. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We bought two pizzas, it was super quick for a fresh pizza and they also gave us a free banana bread! So incredibly sweet of them and I think the banana bread was the best I have ever had too! Just of note: each pizza is around 25$, but they are well worth it. Also, they only take cash or e-transfer so just be prepared for that as well! HIGHLY recommend!
Awsome bread, awsome pizza and awsome people. Always something new.
Very good pizza! We got the Smokin Muskokan with half mushrooms. Cute little place with a good amount of outdoor seating. Service was pretty quick, 10 mins to have a pizza brought out to our table! Would recommend and we will be back!
Excellent pizza, sourdough bread and banana bread! Highly recommend this local establishment!
This place was outstanding!! Food was amazing and the service and atmosphere was great!!
Ordered 10 various pizzas. None good. Never again.
Great wood fire pizza. Consider getting a simple debit machine, there are many options these days. And pineapple for the pizza!
Pizzas were great. Dough tasted super fresh.
Wow!!! If you love a good wood fired pizza this is truly the best pizza in Muskoka! Rivals gourmet pizza from TO! Sourdough pizza crust is phenomenal and all toppings and sauces are fresh and tasty. Worth the drive to Bracebridge!
The pizza was delicious and the bread they had available was just-out-of-the-oven fresh! The only reason its missing a star is from the inconvenience of paying. Its cash or e-transfer. As someone that doesnt carry cash, have mobile data or a bank app, adding the restaurant as a payee and transfering money isnt just oddly inconvenient, I wouldnt be able to order there if someone else hadnt paid, period. I realize that system saves them a bit in taxes but its really not worth it for how inefficient it makes the customer experience.
Incredible sourdough pizza, bagels and crumpets! We rarely pass by without picking up a few packages of crumpets.
Amazing incredible sourdough bread, pizza, and more! Lovely setting and welcoming atmosphere. The perfect place for me stop by mid bike ride! Love it!
Perfect brick oven pizza. My husband and I were in town for the Muskoka Marathon, and this was a perfect post-race meal. I love my Mediterranean pizza, and he loved his BBQ chicken. Super yummy sour dough bread and granola that we picked up for home, too.
Taste was good
Best butter tarts in the world hands down... its gotta be the sour dough Oh yea the bread, pizza are delicious and the staff are awesome too Glad to see a family owned shop do so well
The best pizza I ever had. Nice quite place with friendly staff. Store was super busy but it was worth the wait. I would definitely stop by anytime I come to Muskoka.
Worth the drive , always drive from brampton to just have the pizza and love it everytime, made with love and surely tastes the best
Disappointed we didn t get to try the pizza after it was recommended by friends. Apparently you need to call 2 hours ahead of time to place an order. The staff wasn t very friendly when we walked in
Best pizza in town
Superb products and friendly service.
Incredible pizza and really great people. Try the Genoa salami with pineapple! Game changer!
Excellent Pizza! Need a shorter email address for the e-transfer. :)
Fantastic wood fired pizza with a gorgeous sour dough crust and unlimited tasty toppings including many vegan options. What more can you ask? Oh yeah - service was quick and easy. Highly recommend this little place on the outskirts of Bracebridge.
This is truly the best pizza I have ever eaten in my life. The staff are also super friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone!
So good! Delicious sourdough pizzas, fantastic chef & staff. Love this place
Amazing service and to-die-for pizza. Their homemade sourdough is worth the trip alone!
Amazing pizza! As someone who makes sourdough breads and pizza weekly, I know the effort and time that goes into it, so I can say the pizza here is definitely worth the price tag! The toppings are top quality. This is our go to pizza anytime I dont have time or energy to make my own (it is also better than mine ). The banana breads are incredible as well.
The bread and pizza are great. If you like Woodfield pizza this is the place for you!
Super friendly staff and absolutely delicious pizza! They are generous with toppings and let you have as many as you want at no extra cost. Will be back!
We had the Smokin Muskokan and it did NOT disappoint! Wanted to go back the next day for another but theyre closed on Sundays. The dough was perfectly crisp, and the tomato sauce was perfectly seasoned. Easy to order and friendly staff. Cant wait to try the Firefighter pizza next time.
Fresh and tasty every time!
Ordered couple of pizza from them and they are unique flavoured cooked with perfection. The staff focuses highly on guest satisfaction.
I was excited to try this pizza. Called in on June 5th to place an order however the woman who answered the phone was very rude to the point I decided not to order from them and hung up.
We tried the Brisket offered occasionally by the Oven. It is awesome. Great flavor, nice sauce, not too fatty. Try it. PS Get the yummy corn bread too. I should not forget that there sourdough bread is also a hit at our house. Some of our family who avoid gluten, swear by it. Thanks David. Your creativity over the past 20? years has served our community well
A real local gem for pizza and other sour dough stuff. Definitely check it out if your in the area
Exactly as advertised. Big oven + wood fire = delicious pizza. The dough is superb and sauce/topping ratio is perfect!
Awesome service, amazing pizza....would visit and buy the wood fired pizza
Great pizza, large selection of toppings.
Delicious woodfire pizza, great staff, and awesome service. This stop is a must for anyone visiting Bracebridge. If you dont do online banking to be able to send EMTs then be sure to bring cash (they dont accept visa/debit).
Best take out pizza in Muskoja.
Pizza is really good ! Bread was delicious!
Very delicious! The Oven makes yummy pizzas that have a very thin bottom and crust made from chewy dough. Pictured here are the Valerie (with green arugula) and the Vegan. My wife is very particular on her food and is also a very good cook and she absolutely loved the Vegan. The pizzas are about medium in size so one person may eat anywhere from half to a whole. At $23 each, the pizzas are a splurge purchase. Presumably to cut down on overhead or other challenges/headaches with a point-of-sale machine, the business accepts cash or has you etransfer payment and relies on an honour system for you to pay. The kitchen is well run by friendly staff. The day we went, there was sourdough bread that our family of four devoured. Since The Oven is a popular place, order early and arrange for a later pick up time.
We stopped by on Wednesday. Lots of people placing orders and picking up. They only take cash and etransfer. They re open Four days a week. Wednesday to Saturday. . I ordered right off the menu. The veggie pizza. Takes about ten to fifteen minutes to make. We just ate outside on their picnic tables. It s not fancy. The pie is cut in to quarters The pizza is smothered in oil and spice. You just pick it up and fold it. The crust is so tasty. It s just really great pizza.
Yummy sourdough treats. Quick and friendly service. Sells out fast (no wonder) so order ahead. Cash and e-transfer only.
Solid 3 stars pizza. I have had many wood fire oven pizzas in my life. While The ovens pizza is certainly delicious, the entire pizza was just burnt and all you can taste is smoke/charcoal. I understand this can happen while using wood fire ovens, but it s all about finding the perfect balance. Who wants to pay premium $ for a burnt pizza? I certainly don t. Service was great on the + side. Thank you.
Awesome and delicious pizzas! Definitely try their Saucy Muskokan Pizza made with awesome curry sauce from The Saucy Muskokan!
Amazing pizza, great people. Can t go wrong here! Thanks so much!
Amazing pizza
Pizza!
A must try, enjoyed every bite !!!
Great place for wood fired pizza out of no where in Muskoka...It was a delight to try chefs special veggie pizza :)
I wouldnt eat there
Friendly and quick service. Pizza was awesome!
The best nachos in Muskoka, possibly the world ! We are addicted. The pizza is fantastic and service is always friendly and prompt.
When the resort we were staying at had no power and no water due to a wind storm but offered absolutely no help or remediation (e.g. water bottles), we by chance found this beauty of a place! Incredible staff and the pizza was absolutely amazing. Its a shame I dont live closer! Free of charge they handed us both a pie and banana bread loaf before we left! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Great Staff Great Pizza
Absolutely the best pizza and sourdough bread for hundreds of kilometres around. Beautiful big wood fired oven used to cook pizza and bread. Where possible they use locally sourced ingredients that make for delicious foods. Ambiance and girls that run the place are so welcoming. Highly recommend everything!
This place is ridiculously good. The food is fresh, innovative and so tasty. They know sourdough better than anyone, and use it for much of their pastry products, including pie crusts which are a revelation. Standouts include the beef pot pie, and really any and all bread products. Pizza honestly rivals any of the best neopolitan style places we ve tried. Worth mentioning is their bbq meats, which are available to take away and are as good as we ve had across North America! Thanks guys!
Best pizza in Bracebridge. Well worth stopping in. Fresh tasting. First time eating there. They have a new customer now. Loved the pizza and bread.
Good pizza and bread. Chelsea is nice.
Great pizza!! Nothing better than a wood fired pizza.
Great pizza, too pricey for what you get though.
the food was rich and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised in the selection of take out- and their pizza toppings are awesome. They even have sour dough bread. Cash and e transfer. YUM.
By far the best pizza in Bracebridge. Wonderful dough, fresh and local ingredients, great oven.
Well worth the drive from Gravenhurst! So happy we discovered this very authentic Italian Pizza. Also purchased some sour dough, Cant wait , yum.
Awesome people and delicious pizza.
Friendly service, delicious pizza.
Outside of Italy, this is one of the best authentic pizzas and we found it here in Muskoka of all places. You cant go wrong here. But make sure you order more than you think youll eat. The dough is this thin and wont make you feel bloated like franchise pizzas
Terrific pizza with exceptional ingredients and friendly service. Highly recommended ordering from here.
Well worth the wait. It is heavenly delicious. One of the best pizzas I have ever tried. A hidden gem tucked away in Bracebridge.
Pizza was good but nothing special. The pizza crust was burnt all around on my boyfriends pizza which took away from the taste of the pizza (Ive had woodfire pizza and I know this can happen so I didnt say anything). The male staff member was kind and helped answer our questions but the woman there was quite the opposite. Definitely left a negative impression. Probably wont be returning.
You will not find a better sourdough, woodfired pizza anywhere. My compliments to the chefs!
The small-batch bread is incredible. I hadnt been by here since the previous owner Ron stopped making bagels, but theyve gained a repeat customer. Among the best sourdough and white bread Ive ever had. The key is obviously to get it fresh. Just amazing.
Amazing pizza
This Place is Amazing !!! Thank you always Woodfire Team! Please stop making such delectable Food!! :) A + + Chef and Staff.
Past by this place by luck! Stopped off and had the most amazing wood oven baked pizza and some amazing cheese bread! It was so good we went back the next day!!! The staff is amazing, helpful and kind, I think we may have met the owener chopping some wood in the back he was so kind, just amazing people and amazing place!!!
Amazing pizza, 20 dollarw you get unlimited fresh toppings, everything totally fresh. We actually went 2 days in a row. Staff was totally amazing! Hidden gem amazing pizza
Loved everything about this place! My husband and I are staying in the area and thought we would give this place a try. Sure glad we did. We tried 2 pizzas as well as a loaf of sourdough raisin bread. I appreciated that the pizza toppings were included in the pricing, not per item. Our pizzas were probably the best we have ever purchased in Canada. Cant say about the bread as I am taking that home & havent tried it yet. I am expecting it will be just as wonderful as the pizza. The staff was amazing...friendly and quick to help us & answer questions regarding the sourdough bread process. I hope the members of this community appreciate and support this special small business. I am looking forward to stopping in again next time I am in the Bracebridge area.
Fantastic!!!
Amazing pizza and bread.
Simply one of the best pizzas I have had hands down and my bar for pizza is pretty high.
The Pizza at The Oven is hands down (what does that even mean?) the best pizza I have had outside of Italy. And Im pretty sure everything taste better in Italy in the Spring because your in Italy, Its late November in Bracebridge (Yuk). Allison is always polite and to the point and thats appreciated. Colour means flavour and if you do not understand that so be it. Bottom Line, I feel lucky to have a locally owned pizzeria that serves World Class pizza in my small town. Thank you all for that and keep up the outstanding work.
The place to go when u want a awesome pizza. I had a nice chat with the owners.
Pizza was delicious
Good wood fired pizza. Crust on the thinner side, lots of toppings and cheese, sauce is nice. Decent size, slightly bigger than a medium at a chain pizza place. Friendly service, they will bring it to you so you can sit outside in the shade and relax. You pay more here versus a pizzaville or dominos for the size, but you get more taste and toppings. Some things to note: it is a cash only business (bring a 20), they will sometimes run out of certain ingredients or drinks as the day goes on (happened to us with bacon, they subbed something else in), and it appears to only be open during the summer. It can get busy too so wait times vary from 5 to 35 minutes, again depending on what time you visit.
Best pizza ever. Crust and sauce are amazing
Probably the best wood fired pizza I have ever had. Great toppings, great flavour- wish I lived closer! Just a note....they are cash only.
Just got back from Italy and I can safely say The Ovens authentic Italian pizza is at least as good as any that we had there. The ingredients are very good and generously provided (all free toppings). Sauce could be a little more flavorful, but that crust is to die for! Youve gotta try this place!
So amazing. .best gormet pizza in town..
OMG absolutely amazing!! I wish they had more pizza restaurants across Ontario. They would make many families and others stomachs and taste buds very happy! ! Well worth the drive and time!!
Great pizza. Its cash only though so make sure youre packing when you pick up your Zaaaa
Best pizza I have ever had, seriously! A must if you are in the mood for pizza. Great job gals. Would be great if you had a debit/credit payment option
Best pizza !! No oil or grease.. lots of choice of toppings.. we will be back !!
Great Pizza!!
A little pricy if you look at it as just a 12 pizza, but it is anything but just a 12 pizza. The sourdough crust is amazing as are the quality of toppings. The staff person was super personable and a joy to interact with. Things to note: - Takeout only - Cash only - Open until they run out of dough - They take phone orders so even if they are working when you walk in, you might be out of luck You have to try their pizza.
