Wood-Fired Neapolitan Pizza
Best restaurant in North Bay. Many restaurants in smaller locales try to be something else and fail, but this one can stand on its own two feet. Yes, it’s pizza and the occasional burger. But they do it very well. It’s expensive for North Bay, but because of the quality and selection it appears to be always busy. And it deserves to be. The atmosphere and food quality are candidly better than most in Toronto, Vancouver, Whistler or Banff. Keep it up Arugula. Well done.
Service was terrible. Slow for everything and always had to look for the server. Salad was tasty and beautiful but had to wait 15 minutes for some more dressing. Good customer service given to me by Jenny and manager. Pizza was good but too much on the specialty ones. Simple would be better here.
I had visited North Bay during a long weekend and the Arugula staff were very well organized and friendly for the duration of my experience. The menu has options for all dietary restrictions and is large enough to encourage patrons to visit again and try other items. The beverages were an appropriate size for the price and the food quality was exceptional. I appreciate the high standards of this restaurant as you cannot find this quality even in busy cities further south. I appreciate the concept of having the kitchen in plain site as you walk in the doors and I believe it creates an interesting atmosphere while you enjoy your meal. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody who is visiting through North Bay. I will definitely be back as soon as I come back!
Waitress was very pleasant and prompt. Patio furniture not well designed. Food was good. Has the Italian Salad and Mediterranean pizza. It was tasty but a bit sloppy.
Ordered the Calabrese Pizza and honestly I was a bit disappointed. The toppings weren’t too flavourful and the crust was not airy like I expected. I’m from out of town and I usually get excellent pizza from this place so I will try it again. At $30+ a pie with tip you expect perfection. I hope this was just an off night.
I had the Green Salad with the fried goat cheese balls and it was my favourite salad Iv ever had. It was so fresh and tasty. I also had the margarita pizza and it was ok, not my favourite pizza ever but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend eating here if in the area, patio was nice.
This was a great place! Loved the vibe compared to other places in North bay. Our server was so nice and gave us advice on the food and beverage options. I got the beet and goat cheese salad sooo good! Calamari was good I had better. The margarita pizza was amazing best pizza in north bay! Great place for a night out.
I was greatly impressed by the variety of vegan pizza options. Their authentic neapolitan pizza baked in their wood fire oven is distinctively delicious 😋 The restaurant is modern. The patio overlooks a river and a trail. The glass windows and bug screens provide unobstructed views. The staff are very friendly and warm. There are plenty of options for anyone with any dietary preferences.
Its one of the finest in the town. We went for Christmas team lunch and it was fun. Service was excellent and the ambience too. I feel like they could improvise in their seating arrangement as its more congested. Go for Nachos hand down. Also, their pizzas are good. The Firmagi one was too good. Vegetarian options: Classic nachos Dietary restrictions: Noo Kid-friendliness: Maybe Wheelchair accessibility: Yes on ground level
Very good pizza and well cooked. Loved it Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian Dietary restrictions: Gluten
Got food poisoning from halloumi salad from this restaurant. Cleanliness and freshness is obliviously non existent. I had to put one star but obviously I would not give this restaurant any starts. I do not recommend this restaurant.
nice place with fast friendly service. Food was really good!! Dietary restrictions: Vegan options Food : 5/5 |
Wish a great place for an afternoon snack or lunch!
Everything is always great here.
Very busy dark and loud
Great spot for a delicious pizza and cocktails, patio overlooking a creek, serene atmosphere.
A great selection of pizzas, nice ambiance and friendly service. I was completely satisfied.
Quiet atmosphere. Quality sit-down restaurant! Not really a pub. Great food made by people who seem to care about what theyre soing Food : 5/5
The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was great. However, the service left something to be desired, as one staff member, who appeared to be the manager, came across as a bit rude towards us. It was an unfortunate contrast to an otherwise enjoyable experience.
Great food and service
Had the special pizza that day cuz I couldn t decide what I wanted. May have been the best pizza I ve ever had
Weve lived in the area for almost a year and finally got here. Its now one of our go to dinner spots. Great service and incredible food. Lots of great vegan options (except no vegan desserts). You gotta come up with a couple vegan desserts if you want my wife to come back. . My personal favorites are the Spicy Tourist Pizza and the Italian Burger.
Great food
I ve been meaning to try Arugula for some time. Our group of 7 were not disappointed. The food was prepared with great care and attention to detail. Plating was beautiful. Everyone raved about their meal as we left. We will be back.
Amazing pizza, many wonderful choices of thin crust wood fired pizza. The outdoor seating is on a large screened in deck, which is perfect.
Pizza was ok.
We saw their billboard on the side of the highway and decided to try them out and we were glad we did! Terrific pizza and salad lunch.
Great pizza, impressed by the vegan options on the menu!
The food was amazing and the service was excellent!
Chairs on patio super uncomfortable! Felt abit rushed! Caeser salad was disappointing.
Arrived for the lunch special - service was amazing, staff were able to accommodate my request and switch from takeout to dine-in on the spot. Ordered the margarita pizza and was thoroughly disappointed. Crust was extremely rubbery and thin. Toppings (cheese and sauce) were scarce and bland. Wouldnt recommend. The salad was good and the pistachio gelato was absolutely amazing. Atmosphere was top notch as well.
The wood-fire oven cooked our pizzas to perfection! Well definitely be going back.
I was visiting from Ottawa so my brother, his wife and I went to Arugula. Wow. Amazing! The nachos, funghi pizza and a gluten-free pizza and drinks were amazing! Our server was very friendly and super efficient. We will definitely return! Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pizza is amazing!
Hands down the best vegan pizzas we ve ever had! We ordered the vegan chicken pizza and the vegan meatball pizza which was not available so went with the Italian pizza which was super delicious with the chilli oil! Wish they would provide chilli flakes too for those who crave for spice no matter what. Lol. We didn t even click any pics as we gobbled up our delicious pizzas!
Pizzas are a bit over the top. Napoleon style pizza supposed to be simple where many of them had 5 or more toppings. Likely an attemp to please the locals which I am not
Fantastic food and we sat out on the screened patio overlooking the creek. Our waiter made great suggestions and we had a fantastic dinner.
Fantastic food and we ate on the patio which was lit up well and netted over to protect from the mosquitoes. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back the next time we come up to North Bay
We drive at least once a year from oshawa ontario to eat here!!! Amazing food
I went to Arugula for lunch with a friend and orderd the Italian sausage pizza which was absolutely incredible. The thin crust, wood fire style pizza is just worlds better than any other pizza you can get in town, but what really sets this place apart is the service. Our waitress, Bre, provided us with hands down the best customer service experience I have ever had! She was fast, helpful, very friendly and personable. Her knowledge of the menu and ability to promptly awnser questions and make recommendations ensured that we ended up with a great meal. In summary, Bres exceptional service at Arugula undoubtedly enhanced our dining experience. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for her customers exemplify the epitome of hospitality. I wholeheartedly recommend Arugula to anyone seeking not only exquisite cuisine but also unparalleled service.
Love this place. Salads and pizzas are off the chart tasty. Our favorite place to go when we go to North Bay.
The vegan pizza here is stellar!!!
Pizzas ordered for taken out after we dined in at another establishment near by. The place was PACKED. Of course, it was a Friday night. However, with good reason. The aroma of fresh wood fired pizza, the clammering of an overbooked dining section, and the optimistic cheeriness of employees before really getting a taste of a busy evening was all we needed. Wood fired stone oven Neapolitan style crusts with a Canadian flare sent us into a munchie madness when we got back to the hotel. The chicken cacciatore was also a pesto fuelled delight. Id love to dine in but sadly I feel the seating isnt meant for someone of my stature and that they have crammed as many possible seating options as humanly possible that it makes even getting across the dining room an apologetic chore, however this will not deter me from visiting again to try something different on the menu with hopes of another stellar experience.
Nice view of the creek
They made room for our party of 5. Busy before hockey game. Food was very good, just like our first visit! Food : 5/5
A++++ well worth going
Absolutely great authentic pizza. Nice atmosphere and excellent service. Pizza and more.
So good. The food was amazing. Im only sad I came in water because the patio looked amazing. It was nice to watch the pizza oven cook inside though. Cant recommend enough
Food is amazing, service fantastic and its just off the Highway, so a great place to stop on our way south. Good work folks!
The small but mighty young lady that was running the front of the kitchen was awesome! Her husband even said she was the better dough stretcher/ all around chef!!!
Good food, excellent service
I ordered a margherita for pick-up. It was delicious and prepared quickly! Staff was friendly! Thanks
Accommodating service, amazing vegan menu!
My party of 8 had a wonderful time! Our server Stephanie was so awesome. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. Definitely going again.
We like places like this. The atmosphere is great. Its not a massive place so it has that cozy feeling we crave after a good day of activities. Italian-style pizza and a bottle of easy-drinking red, Mmm.. so good!
Great food, awesome staff They take great care of the restaurant very clean,even the parking lot was plowed and safe during a snow storm. Food
Absolutely delicious food...wonderful gluten free options. Pricey but worth it
Food was delicious . Loved the pizzas, especially the gyro pizza. Calamari was good but a little chewy. Drinks were good.
The wood burning oven makes their pizzas the best in town, hands down.
The food here is always amazing! I had intended on taking my leftovers in my lunch the next day, but there were none. The lighting could be a little brighter. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menu. Food
The staff is friendly but the vegan burger is terrible and over prizes for what you get. Also paying 3 dollar extra to make a burger spicy seems insane! Unfortunately everytime we went I was disappointed by the food! The building is nice.
Excellent pizza and beer selection. Highly recommend this place.
So delicious! And friendly service. Would totally go here often, if we lived in North Bay
Great fresh pizza and amazing service
Delicious food, great service, friendly and welcoming staff, must try, nachos are amazing.
Nachos are to die for. Hooked after the first time. Price matches the quality of the food. Easy parking for us.
Gluten free pizza was probably the worst pizza I ve ever had. Dry, with partially cooked ingredients. The waitress was lovely but the manager had a major attitude problem. One positive thing from the dinner experience was an excellent beet and goat cheese salad. However, I or any my family members will never return.
I used to always come to Arugula when I lived in North Bay! Their vegan burger is amazing!
Very dark for lunch. More lighting would have been great. But the food was great and servers were attentive.
Food was so steaming hot when we got it, its a nice change, we had to wait for it to cool. Loved that. We were put at a table up against a wall, it was very tiny and the dishes quite large, so managing everything in that space is a challenge. Delicious food, great service!
Great pizza and a nice atmosphere. It was extremely busy when we visited, but the staff were very accommodating anyways.
Super friendly and amazing food. Great atmosphere.
The best pizza by far!! Very happy they have gluten free pizza option also which will keep me going back!
Incredible pizza. Ive never had a bad pie here. The ingredients are top quality and the crust is to die for. My last visit, I split a smoked meat pizza and warmed olives. Both were incredible. The olives are a nice diversity in a great marinade and the pizza is topped to perfection: neither too much or too little but a wash of flavours in every bite. Big points on having one of the nicest patios in the Bay. Most patios are street or parking lot facing. Arugulas faces the creek and at a beautiful area. Points for the service. A touch slower on a busy day but nothing of note- friendly, quick, efficient. Full marks.
Awesome food
Great customer service Awesome Restaurant Food
The vegan pizza selection is top notch and the taste more than delivers. Cool vibe on the patio as well.
Good pizza perfect service
Great vibe, good food and service but they took their best pizza off the menu. I will come back once the pacific smoked salmon pizza comes back!
The food was full of flavor. Probably the best thin crust pizza in North Bay! The menu had a ton of options, even has some vegetarian and vegan options. Definitely go for the pizza!
Very good food, but quite expensive.
Amazing pizza certainly, actual Napoli Pizza oven on site. But the gem, the true dish, that sets Arugula from the rest are the nachos. These are not any nachos they are deep fried wanton wrappers with an outrageous crunch combined with being a complete absorber of flavours. EAT HERE. We drive across Canada and never skip Arugula.
Beautiful place
Felt like we were rushed out, not busy, just wanted to enjoy a couple drinks and appetizers on a summer afternoon
Great pizza as always and a Gluten free option too!
I wish I could remember the name of the server we had. Brown hair, brown eyes, nose ring. Spectacular service!! Parking: Tonnes of spots available even at lunchtime
When the couple seated after you, and right beside you get their drinks ordered and delivered. The table behind you is cleared. And then the couple beside are asked what they would like to eat... While you and your wife sit invisible... Waiting to even ask for a drink. Goodbye.
Nice place
Third time there within years. Pizza still is gross. Last time I had fungi and didnt see they put brie on it - who does that? This time the dough was not cooked right. Then what is it with those small plates where the pizza hangs over? Over all over priced with young kids serving it probably at minimum wage. I am done with that place.
Food was excellent, the pizza looked so good i had to bite right in. Even though told it was hot I went for it. Burnt my mouth but didnt care as it was too good to stop eating. Great options for vegetarian or vegans. Salads were real well done. Price was affordable. Highly recommend sitting outside as it is in a quiet spot. 100% will come back.
Great pizza , staff is well trained, fair prices , highly recommend
We kind of just stumbled on to this place, looking for an evening coffee and dessert. This place was so beautiful and unique. Theres a gorgeous woodfired oven as soon as you walk in, and a non-traditional patio, where you sit beside a river and some walnut trees. The coffees were great, and so was the cake. Well definitely be back to try the pizza!
Food was decent although my chicken parm was a little over cooked. Staff was great, very friendly. Atmosphere is a little too dark. Needs a little more lighting. Two sandwiches and two sides for 40 bucks. Not bad. Parking: Maybe 15-20 spots
Amazing escargot. Took my girlfriend here for a date. Staff super friendly food and service were amazing
Eat pizza in town, you can never go wrong here with the food and drinks, price is a little hefty but it s worth it and if you eat in them get ready for a super moody atmosphere to hang out in!!! Love it here, highly recommend! Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian options but nothing for vegans Parking: Good parking unless it s a super busy night and you have a big vehicle, then you may need to park down the road.
Really good pizzas and lovely covered and screened in patio
Great food. OK service. They seem perpetually understaffed or just slow. Still highly recommended regardless! Pizzas are great. Sandwiches are underrated!
Great food
An unexpected stop here exploring North Bay. Highly recommend it.
Top notch eatery in North Bay Authentic wood fired pizza and Italian foods Food
Thanks to Matt for being a real professional and giving us first-class service. We will be back for sure a we are impressed with your staff choice. Great place, great service, thanks Matt.
So delicious and the most beautiful patio seating. We had the cured meat pizza and brasaola salad. I especially loved the salad.
Nice place. We sat on the patio. Heat was appreciated. Nachos were undercooked and served with no chicken, even though it was asked for. We found it to be a bit pricey for what was being offered. Especially the drinks!
Absolutely gem of a find it has everything you want. Great food good service awesome atmosphere and a nice patio out back. Love the wood fire pizza oven.
Food was good, we had calamari and vegetarian panini thought those were a bit overpriced but definitely a pizza place and they have a good drink menu too! Would go back for pizza!! Vegetarian options: They had good selection of vegetarian options would go back for more pizza.
The food is always great here! The inside of the restaurant is a bit crowded and drafty if you are sitting by the window. I love visiting during the summer to sit on the patio overlooking the river.
Without a doubt by far the best vegan pizza Ive ever had in my life. Very upper class aesthetic inside but really reasonably priced food and drinks. Honestly the most perfect spot for a date
This is my favorite restaurant in North Bay. I go here quite a lot since recently moving to North Bay. The food is always top tier. The only downside is how the cocktails are 15 dollars no matter which one you order. Even with that said I always highly recommend this restaurant.
Rare are the restaurants where the ambiance the food, the service are that great. First the place is super clean (yes, including the bathrooms). Staff is very friendly and service is fast, courteous and spotless. Then the food..... wow! We are a family of four and we ordered an entry of fries and a 12 italian sausages pizza. At first we were wondering if we would have enough but the pizza is beyond high quality. We could not finish the fries. The pizza is not cheap but the price is. You get high quality food, great service done with a smile, great ambiance, everything for a very decent price. I cant remember last time I ate a pizza that good tp be honest. A must-stop if you are in North Bay.
Really good wood fired pizza. Great service, really cool that they have the pizza oven right there in the middle of the restaurant. A little bit dark inside
We travel from Sudbury annually to do some Christmas shopping and always go to Arugula!! Love, love, love . Great food, service and atmosphere.
My folks took me here for my birthday. It was a warm weekend in September, so the trees were turning, and we sat on the balcony next to the little stream passing by. Everything from the food to the atmosphere was impeccable. They were also extremely accommodating with my dietary restrictions. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan is pretty straightforward here because its a pizza place. The gf crust is almost imperceptibly similar to regular crust and they made me a dessert pizza with it, too. Very accommodating Dietary restrictions: Gf options.
Great pizza and salads!
Havent been in a while. Fast, friendly service. Ordered the Pesto Pizza. Wow! Absolutely fantastic! These Kats havent missed a beat since our last visit. Highly recommended!
Wonderful food and service.
Everyone knows the rules one bite 7.8
My world issues class took a trip to arugula to see how food can represent culture. All the employees were very friendly and welcoming of us. They served us two types of pizzas and told us about how and why they represent the Italian culture. All the food tasted fresh and amazing, would absolutely recommend taking a stop at arugula!
Last week our class visited Arugula to experience their authentic Italian Pizza. They hosted around 20 of us free of charge, but instead asked that we donate something to the food bank. After a detailed explanation about their pizza oven that can cook a pizza in under 2 minutes, they made around ten pepperoni and margherita pizzas for our class to share (which were absolutely delicious). The experience made for an all-around great trip with their excellent food and even better hospitality, and I will definitely be back.
On Thursday, December 14, our World Issues class was given the opportunity to explore Italian culture at Arugula which is a local restaurant found in downtown North Bay. I was immediately impressed with the massive, unique pizza oven that hit my eyes the second I walked in! The employees taught us about how they receive their buffalo mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes from Italy to make each slice of pizza authentic. They served us what seemed like an endless supply of both the Margherita pizza topped with delicious oil and fresh basil and we can t forget about the unforgettable pepperoni pizza. I really enjoyed my time at Arugula because we learned about such fine details including how they receive fresh wood for the oven or how they represent Italian culture with such fresh Italian foods.
Must go place in North Bay.
New fav spot!
Mediterranean pizza and the sundried tomato artichoke dip were amazing! My partners pizza was a bit oily/soggy but overall highly reccomend
Food and service were very good. Pizzas are well made. The screened in balcony was a great place to sit.
Amazing pizza!
Weve wanted to try this restaurant for a while, and finally made it for lunch today. We will definitely be back! The pizza is so good and authentic (had the Italian with blue cheese), and I had the chicken parm sandwich with amazing (extra crispy) Italian fries. The price is really reasonable, especially when you consider the great taste and portions large enough for leftovers-to-go. Would highly recommend this, but encourage you to make a reservation, since it seems to be a favourite for many.
Out of this world pizza .....even went out of the way to add more vegetarian and vegan options......cant wait to go back
Amazing food, very happy with our dining experience and will be returning regularly
The nachos loaded and delicious!
Food was great, service was great. 5 people in our party & food arrived very staggered instead of together
Portion sizes were great.
Awesome food. Usually the service is good but not the best. Only reason for the 4 star rather than 5. Some waitresses look like they dont want to be there? Or overworked? Im not sure. Overall its a pleasant experience though. Prices are right also!
Service was amazing and pizza was heavenly.
Fantastic food! Everything we ordered was brilliant. We re vegetarian so we had those items on the menu and were positively surprised by the flavour.
Food was good, however I ordered a $46 bottle of wine and they brought a $95 bottle. We didnt notice it wasnt the right bottle until they brought the bill. When I brought it to their attention instead of taking responsibility they said that they showed us the bottle and it was our responsibility. Due to this arrogant attitude I will never return
Great salads and pizzas, they use fresh ingredients and everything tasted great!
Their margarita pizza is just
If you havent been here youre missing out, this is our new favourite spot! Haley was fantastic and even though she was busy she was so attentive and always had a smile on her face! Food is the closest to authentic Italian food that you can get in town which we are so grateful for. We loved that the kitchen was open and so clean and the staff was welcoming. The only thing that they are missing is a bartender, would have made the service that much quicker. All in all we had an amazing experience and to all the staff and owner of Arugula you all are doing a FANTASTIC job, Thank You
I ordered the meatball pizza and it was only OK. Arrived quickly but was a little burnt. Good service thought. Probably will never goback.
Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian and vegan options available.
I ordered take out while staying in North Bay for the night. I had the escargot and Italian panini. Everything was incredibly fresh, ready when I arrived and delicious. I would definitely recommend it!
Use to be one of my favorite, the prices went way up and quality and portion of food very disappointing. Way too expensive for portion and quality.
Honestly this is one of the places I always forget about and when we go we say...hey we need to come here more often. The service is awesome, the pizzas are great and their riverside patio type room is awesome as well. Definitely one of the top places in town to go for something to eat.
Best gluten free dairy free pizza EVER!
Had the greatest experience tonight. Amazing food and drinks. But the best part of the night was the service. Neva was our server and she was absolutely phenomenal. She had the best recommendations and answered all of our questions. Will go back again, and recommend to friends and family, just to be served by Neva!!
Absolutely amazing!! I tried one of their popular pizzas, the chicken cacciatore pizza which was soo good, unfortunately I was not able to try their dessert pizzas but I m definitely coming back again!
Awesome service, atmosphere and food!
Wonderful gluten free pizza with an understanding staff
Bb try back
What a beautiful restaurant to visit while in North Bay! Not only is it a refreshing change to visit a restaurant that isnt a large chain, but to receive such friendly and efficient service is something that guarantees this establishment will be a staple in the area for many years to come. If you have the opportunity to visit on a nice day, their patio offers an intimate and atmospheric experience for couples, friends, and families alike. Our server was very knowledgeable, polite, and excellent at her role and it shows how much she enjoys working there with the passion she delivered in our experience. On the way out, the staff were kind enough to let us take a picture of their beautiful wood oven and gave us a brief description of how it all works. Its a site to behold as it is in the heart of the restaurant, enabling all customers to see how the magic happens. I cant recommend this establishment enough and encourage everyone to stop in if visiting North Bay, or if you live there.
Super good, I always get their pizzas!
Wow. Delicious meal with generous servings. This is a great go-to restaurant in North Bay
Had a great time and pizza was sooo good!!! Great atmosphere!
Stopped here for takeout while visiting North Bay, and was so impressed with the quality of the food that I had to leave a review, which I really never do. The guy who gave us our food was also really nice. Best chicken parm sandwich me and my mother have ever had! The enclosed patio/veranda is also beautiful.
Always a great night out at Arugula! Pizzas are delicious, I always try a different one when I go, and have yet to be disappointed. The ambiance is amazing, the restaurant is beautiful and they have a wonderful patio in the summer. Service is also always top notch! One of my favourite restaurants in North Bay!
I chose this restaurant because I had read some good reviews about the pizza, but unfortunately I have to say that it was very disappointing. My margherita was tasteless (sour tomato puree and unsalted dough), one of the worst Ive eaten in Canada. Nice place and good cocktails. Average prices for Canada.
Great little gem. We took a ride after seeing the sign on the highway near Sturgeon Falls. We order a panini and pizza delicious. Definitely authentic Italian food. We were too full to order the dessert pizza!
Nice patio. Food ok. But nothing special. Friendly waitress.
Expensive pizza, but delicious (unique) recipes
First time. Arrived 45 minutes after opening and they were already out of meatballs! Super popular item as every table around us also asked for and were disappointed by the lack. We started with the mussels, which were very tasty! Hubby loved the house made Balsamic Vinegrette dressing and salad that came with his Chicken parm sandwich. I had the arugula pizza which was excellent. My kid had the lunch prix fixe selection (salad, margerita or pepperoni and gelato for $19) on a gluten free crust ($4), which was also excellent. Well be back on day, and hopefully get to try the meatballs! Dietary restrictions: You can get any pizza on a gluten free crust.
Amazing ambience,Great food.
Great food and staff
Amazing pizzas, excellent service!
I ve always been very happy and impressed with my meals from arugula. Great salads and pizzas
I love this place! The pizza is just incredible! Amazing crust and sauce. Baked in a huge, authentic wood-fired pizza oven. Very clean. Our server was fantastic: friendly, smart, helpful, and quick-witted. The patio was very nice: it s screened-in, so no bugs, and the heaters were on keeping us cozy. Will definitely make this a destination any time I m coming through North Bay.
Came here during our 1 night stay in North Bay while driving to our new home in Ottawa (from Vancouver.) My father in law highly recommended because of the many GF and DF options and this place did not disappoint. I had the Vegan Funghi, UNREAL. I will forever remember this pizzas as the best pizza Ive ever had since living my life gf and df. Incredible menu! Vegetarian options: many vegetarian options available Dietary restrictions: many dairy free options available
Excellent meal ...had the chicken parmesan sandwich with Italian salad and it was amazing ...will definitely return to try other selections
Although busy, they were able to seat a family of 5 adults in no time. Clean restaurant, great food and our waitress was fantastic. Shared 3 appetizers and 4 pizzas (one gluten free) for all. Lots of pizza leftover. The food was impressive. Would suggest that 1 pizza and 1 appetizer is enough for 2 people. Thanks for the great service. Cant wait to go back.
Ordered a traditional Margherita for pickup - I was actually in the parking lot when I ordered and was told 10-15 minutes until ready. My wife went in around minute 8 and it was already boxed and ready to go! I expected this though, because the pizza consists of sauce, cheese and basil so its a simple pie to construct, plus using a wood fired oven means very fast cook times. The pizza was nice and hot - the cheese offered a familiar, yet sharp flavour which I enjoyed, the sauce was sweet and I imagine the base of the sauce was made from San Marzano tomatoes the way a traditional Italian pizza might be made. The crust was light and crispy on the outside, and the fresh basil garnished the pizza, adding a wonderful aromatic to the entire pie. The pizza came in around $20, and Im almost ashamed to admit that I consumed it entirely on my own. This isnt really the type of pizza you order before the game, its meant to be savoured. Probably not a bad spot to go for a first date or an anniversary. The product is far from being a utility pizza. Based on this first traditional pizza I will definitely go back to try the others they offer. I encourage those who have only eaten delivery pizza, to try Arugula - expand your horizons and treat your tastebuds!
Excellent! Dropped in after a recomendation from a friend in Sudbury. Such a pleasant experience. Lively friendly atmosphere, and the greatest pizza, salads and appis. Had a brief chat with the waitress, who told me how wonderful it was to work there. How everyone gets along and are accommodating to each individuals needs in life. So glad we stopped in.
Fresh reasonably price grommet food.
Was driving through North Bay and stopped for dinner. Great service, and the pizza and nachos were excellent with a lot of plant-based menu options.
Great meal, cooked with care.
Cute patio overlooking a wooded bike path. Awesome pizza!
Pizzas are delicious, the place is beautiful and workers are very nice ! I recommend
Very good pizza. Neo-Neapolitan style
Great atmosphere, reasonably priced food, fresh and service is great, will and would recommend to anyone.
It was my first time here, the food is absolutely amazing best pizza in town. Great atmosphere ans great service.
Great interior and I was super impressed to see a place like this in north bay. Escargot was really salty but pizza was best in its class and brings you to the tomato fields of Italy. Wedges were super tasty too
Excellent wood-fired pizza, great service. Proceed with caution however; this will make you realize how terrible most chain-restaurant pizza really is.
So far best Pizza place in town. Freshly baked in the oven and served. Their Margarita Pizza and Nachos are awesome and always delicious. Really good options for people looking for Halal food as they have good vegan options.
