Farinella Kanata in Kanata

This is our go-to pizza in the city. I might still slum it with Pizza Hut on occasion but this is the gourmet option. I m a big fan of the Classico as a mushroom lover. Also, they will always allow you to adjust toppings if necessary, and frequently have pizza ready for us in 15 minutes. Yes, there is no online ordering (you have to make a phone call) and they occasionally run out for the day if you call too late, but this pizza was better than most of what we had while travelling through Italy in Sept.

Warm service with smile and friendly staff. No exceptions for quality food. This restaurant earns a kudo. Thank you

I have had Farinellas pizza and ice cream many times. Farinella will never disappoint you. What a great gem in Kanata!

Very good

Great spot! Amazing pizza and gelato!

Not sure what the big hype is for. The pizza was a mere meh. 35$ for a medium pizza that is way, way over rated.

Expensive and undercooked pizza. For the price I expect better :-/

No idea why people like their pizza even my kids can not stand it. Terrible dough, very hard and oily; ingredients are not great either, never fresh and we ve had the chance to try it at different circumstances and from different locations, just terrible. Not an Italian pizza, not American style either. Do not recommend it at all!

Delicious pizza and suppli! My husband and I went to Italy earlier this year, and the pizza from Farinella is comparable to some of the pizza we got in Rome. The suppli is also authentic!

Meter long pizzas original style and authentic taste a hit. Gelato flavors were rich and refreshing. Seems to support an all take-out only mode. Limited seats available on the front porch and surrounding greenspace. A little extra seating arrangement would make this place a more convenient hangout to enjoy the delicious selections. Parking location less obvious also a bit limited and tucked away at the back of the building. Parking: Parking location less obvious also a bit limited (roughly 5-6 spaces) and tucked away at the back of the building.

Usually these kinds of Gelato are very cheap to produce and for 500gms it wont cost more than 3$ if we make it at home. It is very easy to make, check for recepies on YouTube.

Best gelato

We went ( 2 persons) on Sunday, August 4 to have some gelato, being so terribly hot and humid. The idea was to eat in the place (as it says you can dine in, but it is not any place to eat inside the premises). They make pizzas, it is too hot and there are no tables and chairs. We asked for 2 large gelati. We were surprised there is only one size cup, very tiny. The lady serving said they have only one side but a large can accommodate 3 scoops one on top of the other. The only place to eat was at the patio, but as this was under the burning sun, quite a bit further in the garden there was long bench under a bit of shade. By the time we got there, the gelati was melting so rapidly that we had to eat them pretty fast while our hands got dirty and sticky, even though we took several napkins. When finish eating we asked to go in to the washroom mainly to wash our hands. The same lady told us there is neither a washroom nor any other place to wash our hands and suggested to go to a restaurant on a next street-mall to go to a washroom. What kind of service is that? It is the first place I found that serves a large gelato (of course charged like it) on the same small size cup as a the small gelato. How come a place that serves food doesnt have a washroom for customers? Dont count on these two customers again.

They have amazing pepperoni pizzas and gelatos! We enjoy the March Road location more, more peaceful.

Amazing Gelato. Italian pistachio gelato during the weekend. Nice tables outside. Food

Amazing gelto low sugar and tasty

I love getting food from here. It s always delicious, service is great, and the workers are really friendly.

Best pizza! Fresh ingredients and made to order! Easy pickup! Must try!

First time ordering Farinella after recommendation from a friend. Blown away. Best pizza Ive ever had. Ordered the Gigi, perfect combination of spicy sausage and delicious fresh savory ingredients. You pay more for this than regular fast food pizza for sure, but its definitely worth it

This is good to satisfy a fix for gelato. Quality is good, however limited selection and its pricey. This is a test once in a while. Did not have pizza. There are some picnic tables outside.... No indoor area to sit. Kid-friendly and they do samples. Parking is in the back.

I ordered a pizza there nice place and people! Parking: free parking Food : 5/5 |

The pizza is fantastic. We always get two different halves and try different combinations. The Caesar salad and the cannolis are recommended too. Doesn t take long for it to be ready either.

Best Pizza I ate in Canada

Heard about this place for years. Just got out of the hospital. Let s have Pizza! To start, the price of this pie is comically ridiculous. Very poor choice of ingredients. They basically have just one kind of cheese and it is sparely applied. We asked for extra cheese and it was around the same amount of cheese you get on a normal pizza in total. The pizza was bland and flavourless and cold when we picked it up. Very very disappointing.

Pizza is delicious and the service is incredible!

An excellent twist on pizza. Obviously artisanal choices for ingredients. Fun presentation too!

Best pizza Ive ever had, and the gelato is amazing!

Great pizza. My order was on time as I requested. The people were very nice.

We ordered many times from Farinella and have always enjoyed our pizzas. My favourite is GiGi and it tastes soooooo good! Last time I ordered a large order for our party and everyone was impressed!!!

Since a while we want to try something new in pizza, and this is the place where we get the amazing taste. They have good quality and quantity at the same time. The rosemary wine roasted mushrooms adds an extra layer of flavour into it .

Best pizza Ive ever had!! I recommend anything with the whipped ricotta :) its to DIE for!! So creamy

Very friendly staff.

Wanted to love it as it had been recommended to me by many friends but the taste was just ok. I think it was the dough that was rather dry and a little too crispy for my liking. Service was friendly!

One of my favorite pizzas in Ottawa. Delicious and always fresh. Highly recommend.

On-point

The best pizza in Ottawa: the dough has the right consistency and crunch, the ingredients are of good quality and the service is great. Try it out: not that there are many good places to eat in food-comes-to-die Kanata! :)

Unique pizza.

I loved th pizza

The pizza is awesome, thin crust with high-quality ingredients and delicious. Also had the brighelle, it was a great treat.

Got the veggie cauliflower pizza. So delicious, but a bit on the pricier side. Completely worth it for the quality, though! Wish they had an option to dine-in!

Being dairy free you are use to getting your orders mistaken, this place never screws up your order and if they do they catch it before you do and compensate for their mistake. They are the best and so fast! Dietary restrictions: dairy free

Moving to Kanata has been amazing and having a local pizza shop as amazing as Farinella. Staff are a joy, but the food soooo good!!!!! Parking: Free parking around the building.

Thanks for showing respect to delivery guys ...

Just the Best Pizza @ Ottawa The only way to make this place better is by having some seats or where to eat. But that is not relevant because the pizza is just Amazing. Food

Very good pizza, with yummy toppings, but would be nice to have some seating in or around the store

Pizzas are really good. I liked how crusty it was but the best part was the Australian Mozza

I saw a video about the owners and decided to try it. Absolutely unreal pizza, and the gelato is very good as well! The staff are very friendly. A note to first time visitors, the entrance is at the front of the building to the right of Bluebird Vegetarian options: Many Parking: 4-5

Very fresh and tasty toppings and sauce. The options like artichokes, whipped ricotta, caramelized onions, etc were unique and a refreshing choice compared to the typical pizza joints. The dough had a nice texture to it. We did takeout at a set time and unfortunately after a 10 min drive home, the pizza was cold when I arrived. That s my only critique, but nothing a quick reheat in the oven didn t fix. Very good pizza overall but not my fav in the city.

Ordered a meter long pepperoni this past Sunday. Not sure if the pizza i had ordered had been cooked right away and then left to sit or what, but it was absolute garbage. Do yourself a favor, instead of spending 55$ (or so) on this pizza, burn your money on your front lawn instead. Heartbreaking because i love pizza and this was simply not good pizza.

Great pizza, and the icecream was amazing!!

Highly recommend! Reasonable prices and delicious pizza!

Best pizza in town!

Amazing staff, pizza and gelato!! Definitely a staple!

Ive never had a pizza so flavourful with ingredients so fresh. The composition of the pizza is simply delightful and the crust is perfect. The gelato is also yummy and the customer service is excellent. We had the Gigi and the Tarin Tino, would definitely get them again!

Great pizza and gelato!

Tried Farinella for the first time today because they were giving away free pizza, gelato, and seltzers. Pizza was delicious Italian thin crust style and gelato was creamy and good. Service was friendly and good vibes. I ll be back soon! Thanks Farinella

Pizza good. Gelato goooood.

If youre Canadian, youll probably going to like it. If youre Italian, youll be disappointed.

Vegetarian options: Gelato Food

Special delicious Pizza & very friendly staff. My best one is Ortolana Pizza Food

Classic pizza place. Reminds me of my old pizza place back in NY. Flavours are...authentic Italian, so adjust your tastebuds accordingly. Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian pizzas here. No comment about which ones, but they definitely exist. Parking: Too many parking spots. Kid-friendliness: Its not a china shop, but its also not a play place. Youll be in and out before a child gets bored. Wheelchair accessibility: Theres a ramp in the back.

Cheese tastes artificial and stretchy.

Gelato via UberEats arrived perfectly despite my destination being a 20min drive away. Hazelnut is super yummy though much lighter coloured than expected. Creamy, strong hazelnut flavour, just the right amount of sweetness. Amarena, so great. Cherries are the best. More gelato like, less creamy than hazelnut. Very sweet. So great. 500ml container is roughly the size of the same as the Häagen-Dazs or the Ben & Jerrys at your local grocery store.

Great tasting pizza and gelato. Quite pricey but fresh ingredients and big pizza

Excellent flat bread like pizzas (actual pizzas but rectangular) thin crusts fast preparation and tasty selection of toppings combinations It does close early so this isn t for a lar evening pickup. They also have very good quality ice cream

Farinella Kanata has emerged as a haven for gelato enthusiasts seeking a delectable and authentic frozen treat. I recently had the pleasure of visiting this delightful gelateria, and I am thrilled to share my review of their wonderful gelato offerings. From the moment I stepped into Farinella Kanata, I was captivated by the charming ambiance and welcoming atmosphere. The staff greeted me with genuine warmth and enthusiasm, creating a pleasant and inviting experience especially with this heritage building and the open atmosphere. Now, lets talk about the star of the show the gelato. Farinella Kanata boasts an impressive array of flavors, each crafted with a commitment to quality and flavor perfection. Their gelato is a true delight for the taste buds, showcasing a velvety texture and a rich, creamy consistency that sets it apart from the competition. I got the Hazelnut, Dark chocolate and Mango and they were delicious on multiple occasions one or two scoops. I recommend mixing the dark chocolate with sweeter flavors as it is little bitter on its own. The variety of flavors available at Farinella Kanata is truly remarkable. From classic favorites like chocolate and vanilla to unique and inventive creations like pistachio and Mango, there is something to satisfy every palate. Each flavor I sampled was bursting with authentic, natural ingredients that made every spoonful a heavenly experience. What sets Farinella Kanata apart is their attention to detail and commitment to using the finest ingredients. Their gelato is made with care and precision, resulting in a product that is not only delicious but also reflects the passion and craftsmanship that goes into its creation. In addition to their exceptional gelato, Farinella Kanata offers italian pizza. the smell from the oven was intoxicating. I didnt try it yet but looking forward to trying it and it comes in half meter to full meter sizes. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at Farinella Kanata are always ready to provide recommendations and assist you in making the perfect flavor choices. Their dedication to customer satisfaction is evident in every interaction, ensuring that each visit is a memorable and delightful experience. It has a really indie ambiance and they also sell some branded merch so please offer them your support! If you find yourself in Kanata, make sure to visit Farinella Kanata and indulge in their wonderful gelato. Its a treat that will leave you craving more and planning your next visit and I highly recommend them!

Farinella (either location) has the best pizza in Ottawa, hands down. As people who make great pizza in our home pizza oven and who LOVE pizza al taglio in Rome, we are pizza connoisseurs! Farinella delivers on quality, price, and toppings! Plus they have the best gelato to boot! Having Farinella here makes me miss Italy a little less. Thanks guys! Pro tip: get the Frank Pinello pizza and drizzle some of Farinellas hot honey on top. Youre welcome!

Expensive, but delicious.

Love this pizza!! My favourite is the special.

Amazing pizza !! A bit expensive comparing to other local pizza but it is worth it !! And you gotta try their spicy oil !! Amazing customer service too !!

Hands down the best authentic pizza in Kanata. A little pricey, but worth it for the quality of the ingredients.

Love ordering pizza and pistachio gelato from here! My parents always say the service is good and people are so friendly even when it s busy highly recommend!

Recommended by many friends, I decided to try it. Mediocre at best and way overpriced. Gimmicky rectangular box, very sparse toppings, service was good (take-out) and staff were very friendly. Will not return.

Great food. They have long over-size pizza. Lol. Food

Wonderful service and delicious pizza!

This places ice cream is amazing. The orange and strawberry, redberry flavors are the best for me.

The pizza was great, but the gelato was just out of this world

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian pizza Food

Loved the pizza. Can only eat half between 2 but it was delicious in every bite. Friendly staff with a great smile. Loved the outside settings. No dine in though.

This place always hits the spot make sure to get a supli and hot honey

Hands down best pizza in Ottawa!

YUMMY!!! And nice staff!!

Best pizza possibly in the city. Crazy good

The pizza here is absolutely amazing! The crust and toppings remind me of the pizza Ive had in Italy and their gelato is really good with great options. Just wish there was a real dine in option.

The best pizza I ve ever had !!! Without a doubt. Just incredibly fresh, the crust so crispy and delicious. The mushroom with the whipped ricotta is mine. I tried it for the first time on Monday and came back again less than a week later. I could not stress enough how great this place is. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They gave great recommendations and were extremely friendly. I have been in the restaurant business over 30 years And I really appreciate good food. This place nails it!!! The gelato is great too. I bought a take home of raspberry and it came with little tiny ice cream cones that the kids loved. I would absolutely recommend this place. It s awesome.

Fairly good Roman-style pizza. The pizza combinations could use some improvement.

best gelato in town

Pizzas here are authentic and tasty. We ordered Frank Pinello and Ortolana. Both these pizzas were amazing. I highly recommend this place. Will definitely visit again Vegetarian options: Very good vegetarian options. Ordered Frank Pinello and Ortolana. Both were really good.

My favorite pizza place in Ottawa. One of my top 3 gelato places in Ottawa. Food

Best pizza in Kanata. We always pick it up and eat it right outside. Cant even wait to get home!

Really good choice for fresh pizza

Hands down the best pizzeria in Ottawa! Authentic pizza with high quality ingredients and fresh dough! I love their vegetarian recipes and highly recommend them! You have to order your pizza in advance starting from noon and they take order by size of pizza in meter! It s weird funny and unique I guess! They also have decent gelato options. Unfortunately there are no tables to dine in on site! Thanks for keeping the quality high and keep up the great job :)

Amazing amazing and just simply amazing a bit pricey but eh what isnt these days

Best pizza in Kanata and made from fresh ingredients!!! This is my new pizza place. Love it!

We love getting Farinella s for pizza night! We recently made a large order (5 metre pizzas) and we were able to order in advance, pay in advance, and it was ready right to the minute for pick up! Everyone loved it and the team that works there is so wonderful.

Went here for the Roma style pizza and the cannoli. Incredible taste. My girlfriends brother mentioned it reminded him of his time in Italy.

Farinella Kanata is now our regular weekly source for pizza. Their unique menu, with thin crust and very good flavours, including vegan options, make this restaurant much better than most of the usual pizza joints. We call ahead and it s always ready on-time. Our vegan family members really like the Ortolana with cheese excluded, or the Rosso. My favourites are Frank Pinello and Tarin-Tino. Service is friendly and fast, take out only. We always freeze enough for two more meals.

Easily the best.

Really good pizza. It came highly recommended but they seem to sell out quickly if you dont order early. Not the cheapest pizza in town but they do a good quality pizza. Appears to have take-out only and free parking is sometimes limited.

Biggest rip off...pre made, reheat it yourself, Not what a pizzeria should be..go buy one at Metro and reheat yourself. Thanks for the reply, on that note I might give you guy,s another trial.

Best pizza in Ottawa!

Excellent pizza. I was expecting the amount of food to be on the smaller size but I was mistaken, ordered twice as much as needed. Heads up, 20$ does serve 2 people.

Thin crust pizza, amazing flavors and beautiful presentation in a long box that is sure to impress those you are eating it with

Nice girl at the counter. No mask mandates. Excellent pizza. Fast turnaround time.

love how big it comes. just thought it shud be thinner

Fantastic, thin crust, gourmet pizza. Extremely tasty!

Very good pizza . Love the hot oil

This place has ruined all other pizza for us! Thank you!

Really great options, but I find sometimes theyre overpriced for what you get. Next time Ill have to try something new.

Best pizza in Ottawa!

We enjoyed pizzas and gelato at the picnic tables on-site. Pizza was thin crust and flavourful. Gelato was creamy and fresh. Perfect serving size after pizza! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The Gelato was

Great gelato! Always fresh, and flavors are spot on!

Best pizza in Kanata- hands down.

We went for the gelato! Really tasty and excellent service. The dark chocolate was so decadent. Mmm! Well be going back for more.

Best pizza in town hands down! Oh, and their gelato is sooooo good too! :)

Delicious Vegan Pizza!! Excellent Service that will keep me coming back again and again. Looking for an authentic cold tomato pizza that they did not offer, but this did not disappoint at all. Great job Farinella

The puzza is extremely expensive compared to other places. Its work every penny.

Amazing!!!! I drive in from Perth for this Pizza!!!

Had lunch there and it was amazing

Farinella is one of the best pizzas and gelatos in town. And has a great service as well. You should try it, if you still dont know them!

Best pizza in Kanata! Fantastic taste and quality ingredients.

Fantastic Pizza!

Not your typical pizza. They are awesome

Delicious gourmet pizzas! We especially love the njula or whipped ricotta toppings - the perfect pizza to go with s nice glass of wine on a Friday night. Parking: 3-4 spots at rear of building

I ordered their take-away pistachio gelato pint it was $17. It tastes like real, natural pistachios that was just grounded down and whipped about an hour ago. There was no bitterness, nor excessive sweetness in this flavour. I will be coming around more to try their other flavours/pizza.

The pizza was way bigger than I thought it would be! The margarita pizza was really good. I recommend everyone to reheat their pizzas so they stay hot especially if you re not eating it right away.

Excellent

Full size Margherita pizza was amazing. Definitely ordering at Farinella in the future!

Great gourmet pizza

Tried their pizza (I like vegetarian pizza)and dark chocolate gelato.Can t recommend enough to pizza lovers.

This is the only place Ill buy pizza from. Its consistently perfect everytime! Super friendly staff aswell!

Pizza is excellent.

Creative pizza. Staff is super friendly!

Great tasting pizza!

Very tasty and delicious Pizza, real taste of Italian pizza. And friendly staff make the experience even more enjoyable!

The best roman style pizza with an amazing thin crust, topped with fresh ingredients and flavors. Love love love this pizza. Probably my favorite in this city. More expensive than your typical chain/local chain pizza, but so worth it. And for pistachio gelato lovers, the pistachio is on another level of nuttiness and creaminess. The only potential problem with such an amazing pizza? Maintaining the integrity of it all on the drive home. Solutions: a) eat it in the car, b) drive really fast (my explanation for every inanely fast driver out on the roads - Id drive like that too if I had a Farinella pizza I wanted to eat at home) c)wait til summer so you can have a date outdoors with it (not really an option with a pizza this good that youll need to survive the winter). That being said, I havent tried getting it home and seeing what its like after a 20-25 minute drive (my husband and I had to dig into it in the car while it was fresh). But not sure if Im ready to try that yet

Great thin crust pizza with great unique toppings. Enjoyed the mushrooms pizza.

Extra long pizzas with unique and fresh ingredients, and delicious espresso gelato. Highly recommended

Great pizza. Great options

Terrific gelato!

Best Roman pizzeria in Ottawa and Ontario Canada 1 meter long omg

The only pizza and gelato better than Farinella Kanata is Farinella Rochester

First time trying, and wont be the last. Order the pepperoni for half and Luciano on the other. I wish we were closer so we could have it fresh from the oven, as Im sure it would be even better.

Super good pizza (rectangular!) and exquisite gelato!

AMAZING, authentic Italian pizza! Farinella pizza is delicious! This is our Friday night pizza night! Were Italian and we LOVE THIS PIZZA

The gelato and the pizza looks and tastes AMAZING!! If you like those things and you like Italian food you are sure to like farinella

A very wonderful and unique pizza experience in Ottawa. I recommend their Salamino and their Margherita. You wont regret giving this special gem a try. Dont forget the chili oil!

First visit to Farinella on our way to Constance bay for a quick bite..The pizza was very good! My 7 old said no wonder this place is busy, this pizza is amazing ... will be back again, next time for Gelato! Thanks!

This is the best pizza in Ottawa. Fact

Tried Farinella for the first time today based on the rave reviews and I would be lying if I didn t say we were a bit disappointed. The pizza was fine, but fairly bland, and tasted like frozen pizza. The gelato was okay, but was more like ice cream than gelato and was fairly flavourless. If you re in a pinch (and need to feed a bunch of peopl) Farinella s is fine, but there are better options for both pizza and gelato in the Ottawa area.

Suuuppeeeerr, excellent

Gelato was absolutely delicious

amazing Gelato

Best pizza and gelato (or anything ice cream) in town. For real! Special kudos for gelato though - its like fairies dancing in your mouth. Ive tried around 6 flavours by now, and every one of them is a master piece. But my absolute favorites are dark chocolate and hazelnut. They taste more chocolaty and hazelnutty than the real chocolate and hazelnuts. Dang, Im drooling already!

No more pizzA but i got ice cream. Service was great. I would add more chocolate wafer in the BMW mmmm cant wait to go back and have pizza

Excellent service and pizzas are well made too

Easily some of the best pizza Ive had in a long time. Thin crust and crispy, good sauce and the pepperoni is proper salami instead of almost sausage like it is at many north american pizza places. The gelato is great too. I got the skor and dark chocolate hazelnut, both were fantastic. Easily on par with some pizza and gelato I had in Italy.

This is by far my favourite pizza in Ottawa and likely the best pizza Ive ever had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The gelato is also delicious. So happy to have a great place like this in the neighbourhood.

Best pizza in Ottawa!!

I decided to check out this place after heard that they have the best pizza in town. And OMG, the pizza is delicious. I got Marguerite and Tara Tino. I cant wait to go back and try other options. Definitely is the BEST pizza in Ottawa.

Tasty pizza, but doesnt travel well. Best when eaten right away.

Friendly folks and the Luciano pizza I had was delish!

Amazing pizza - great service and flavours yum! Will pretty much be eating here for the rest of my pizza life

Delicious. Try the hot honey too!

The best! Authentic thin crust, zest in the mozzarella, and love the meter length style.

So happy that Farinella opened up a spot in Kanata. The pizza is delicious!
