Great staff! Great pizza like always! Can’t go wrong

Quality has significantly decreased since last year, very dissatisfied with the change in pizza size, a usual medium pizza is now a small! I was extremely disappointed in Gabriels decision to reduce the pizza size but keep the high prices. Loved Gabriel’s and would eat it most weekends but the size of the pizza no longer reflects the outrageous price.

Delicious pizza and great service.

Gabriel's Deluxe Pizza tasted amazing, especially with the sauces. Great amount of toppings and satisfactory thickness. Presentation and smell was inviting. Unfortunately the dough was not fully cooked under the toppings, with a layer that was evidently raw. The delivery driver turned around and left without a word as soon as I told him that I didn't have any money on me for a tip, despite me saying "thank you, have a good day", 0/10 customer service. We paid $40 for the large 15 inch pizza, and had high expectations since the restaurant was recommended by our hotel, did not meet these expectations. Would not recommend.

I only found the mistake when I got home, I paid for a large pepperoni pizza like the photo and the slices showned to sale, unfortunately I received a pizza with only cheese and about 6 pepperones under the cheese, bad pizza experience with a lot of dough without pepperoni on top roasted, the ones that came were raw and a crying wait for more than 30 minutes. Tomorrow I'm going there to complain, today I was too tired to go back there, I hope I don't find a gentleman with very loud music in the salon that disturbed not only my communication, but other customers.

Picked up a pizza from this place around 8:45pm March 10th. Selected a pizza on the web page that showed pepperoni on top and recieved a soggy, undercooked pizza with pep on the bottom under uncooked cheese. Offered a $5 credit for this stupid soggy pizza I paid $22 for. Rude people. Dude was nice inside. Such a disappointment after working so long. First time eating Gabriel's in 2 years, should have gone to pizza pizza.

Gabriel Pizza has always been a favourite of mine, but since moving downtown, it is my go-to. I have tried all of the major (and minor) pizza places downtown, and nothing comes close, in my opinion. The sauce, the dough, the cheese and the toppings are all top shelf. It always arrives hot and cooked perfectly. My favourite is the Hawaiian Cookout. It’s a regular Hawaiian pizza with crispy bacon strips on top. And we all know that bacon makes EVERYTHING better! Zero complaints, ever. Side note: I used to work at the Civic hospital, and every summer Gabriel Pizza supplies the food for the staff lunch. Think pizza for 3,000 people. They pull it off flawlessly on a massive scale.

Pretty average pizza. Lots of cheese but had very little flavor Price is reasonable. Location on Rideau street is great. There are a lot of pizza places in the market area. Try this one and try others.

Not sure why paying customers dont have access to a washroom?! Pretty gross. Like I like washing my hands before I eat ... especially downtown. You lost my respect today after more than 2 decades of appreciation.

July 23, 2024

It was very inappropriate and creepy for your staff to approach me in public!! Please train them not to behave like this as it could be interpreted as harassment when you have no intention of dealing with this business.

The service is very good! The gentleman at reception is friendly and smiling! There are plenty of places to eat on site. The restaurant is spacious!

We order couple Burgers and fries, it took 52 minutes.at the beginning the person did not know how to take the order, then with no considerations to hygiene or using any type of gloves, the person who were cleaning was also part of preparing food too. We were the only customer there. After we took the highly priced food home ,it tasted like everything else except food taste, the fries were bitter because it was old fires and they refried again, never asked what to put on the burgers, they put what they liked , the dry fires was also without any ketchup or anything else. Don t know why such a people should have access to prepare and sale food . No one should ever buy food there even if they are starving.

Gabriel s is lying to its customers. It advertises product online it s no longer sells. That is fraud. I would not have bought product if I knew. Call location before ordering online so you don t get robbed.

The sign on the outside window was 15$ for large pizza. Then it was changed to 16$. I went yesterday to buy a large pepperoni pizza, knowing it was 16$ as the window says outside. I went in pick up the pizza and was told that it was $17.50+tax. I showed the sign and he acknowledged it but still did not want to give me the deal saying that the business was struggling and that I had to pay 17.50+tax. I dont believe the business was struggling and that this was actually a trick on customers. It was unfortunate but the business is falsely advertising. I wont be coming back.

Really good pizza but not the place to go if you are in a hurry (unless you get a slice). I missed 2 buses that I wanted to catch because my pizza took slightly too long to make. They do make really crispy bacon though, which is really good.

Gabriel s on rideau street is a disgusting location. I ordered to pickup and I waited 30 minutes for my order. Also they don t wear gloves here, and one guy was coughing in his hands and then dealing with customers. Another guy was swearing and yelling at his employees in the back, and he was also eating in the back and I could see him eating food then touching peoples food. I WILL NOT BE COMING HERE AGAIN!

90% of the time the Pizzas are what you expect. Decent for takeout. (Keep on mind I am a hard critic) All that being said this is still our first choice if we are looking for a quick solution for food regions we cant agree on and are pressed for time. I have ordered from them many times, different locations. Almost every time good results!

Gabriel pizza is a great place for a quick bite but I wouldn t recommend eating here often! The food portions are big compensating for the lower quality but one thing forsure is you will get your money s worth. The pizza is way tooo doughey and missing some sauce and would be better if it was lighter. Overall nothing special

Two days ago I ordered a medium walk in Pizza. Went back 20 minutes later and the delivery guy took it by mistake. So they had to start again. 20 minutes later I go back again and no one had even started on it. I decided to give them another shot today. Went in paid cash for another pizza. The women who took my order appeared to be the partner of an employee, not a staff member. I asked her and the other employee if I should get my receipt (she already threw it out) they said no. When I returned 20 minutes later the girl gone and the guy didnt recognise me.... I dont know how you can run a resturant like this. Wild.

Yikes, trying to fathom the terrible service I just recieved. When I called to deliver she said 55min, when the food didnt arrive after 70min I called and all they could say is that they were experiencing delays but it was the agents fault for quoting the wrong time (duh). I had to ask to speak to somebody else for compensation. They said they would apply a 25% discount. When the driver finally arrived 1.25min later he didnt want to apply the discount! He finally agreed to call the centre to verify and kept me waiting longer while he ran out to his car because he didnt have his phone on him. You shouldnt keep your costumer waiting when clearly you are in the wrong!

Very unsatisfied with the service I was given. After receiving my pizza, I realized there was cheese on it which I didnt think the pizza I ordered had cheese because no where on the menu did it specify that and my order said bbg base so I assumed that was an alternative to the regular tomato sauce and cheese base. I am highly allergic to cheese and could not even eat the pizza. I called back and spoke to a supervisor who acted as if I was lying about being lactose intolerant and only said I had to reorder and pay again for another pizza even though I would not be able to eat the original pizza I paid for. I even offered to return the original pizza as proof that I wasnt lying and really just couldnt eat the pizza. When they refused I asked what I was suppose to do with the original pizza and the supervisor said, I dont know, give it away?. The supervisor was extremely patronizing and constantly spoke over me when I was explaining my situation and constantly throwing in, Its a pizza place, what do you expect?. I have ordered from other pizza places where they specify when cheese is on the pizza, and if it is not specified, then cheese does not come on the pizza. I still ended up returning the original pizza. After reading your satisfactory policy, I was even more upset because I wasnt satisfied with my order, and there was no good customer service experience. I am extremely disappointed in my experience and how I was treated. For a pizza place that states there satisfactory policy on the website, but does not follow it when a customer actually calls in, is very disappointing and bad business. I will not be ordering from here ever again and will make sure to let the rest of my friends and family throughout Ottawa know as well.
