Piatto Pizza was once my go-to spot for a delicious, authentic Neapolitan pizza, but unfortunately, it has fallen from grace. What used to be a delightful, well-crafted pizza is now a sloppy, wet mess. Over the past year and a half, I’ve given this place multiple chances—five visits in total—hoping they would get back to their former quality, but each time it’s been a disappointment. The pizza crust, which used to be perfectly crispy, now turns soggy within minutes, leaving the toppings in an oily, unappetizing heap that slides right off. The quality of the ingredients seems to have dropped as well. The pies are no longer that delicate balance of fresh, flavorful, and satisfying—they're simply a mess on a plate. The service has also taken a hit. On a few occasions, I’ve had rude and disengaged servers who seemed indifferent to the experience they were providing. For a place charging premium prices, this is unacceptable. I won’t be returning. Blaze Pizza, which is half the price, offers a far superior experience both in terms of taste and value. Piatto, you really need to do better.
Best Gluten Free Pizza in Canada! I've been to nearly every province in Canada and this was by far the most unique pizza, good size for GF, bbq sauce base, chicken with hot honey sauce! Great atmosphere, friendly service.
Everything my party had was good but nothing special. The service is bad. It was very slow and our table and chairs were dirty.
Tried their burger battle sandwich and pizzas. Burger was good but too oily, there are other burgers which are better than this in town. Pizzas are pretty good. It was busy in the evening and was difficult to get hold of the staff. But staff was cooperative and helped however they can. Lot of free parking outside restaurant.
Went to Piatto for a dinner out, and had a decent experience overall! Quite enjoyed the pizza, as they have a stone oven and it is cooked very well. We liked that they had more traditional pizza flavors, and some more creative ones as well. The pasta carbonara was on the dry side. Typically I am used to this dish being much creamier, but I needed a few glasses of water to get it down. I did like that the noodles were made with Spinach, I believe it just needed more sauce and seasoning. Service was satisfactory, especially given that this is a busy location. Overall, we had a good experience and would return for the pizza.
Always great food; the lunch pizza special is well worth the money. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow; the servers themselves are excellent but it's clear the kitchen can get a bit backed up. Just be patient and you'll have a great meal.
The food here was fantastic, the service was even better. We were a party of three and ate outside. We all had the lunch special which consisted of a 9" pizza of your choice and soup or salad for $17, great price. We ordered 2 Caprese salads and a Cesar salad. All were fresh and tasty. The pizzas ordered were Siciliana, Capricciosa + Ananas, and the Margerita. The pizza was absolutely perfect and delicious. Crust was thin and crisp with just the right amount of toppings. One of our party is actually from Italy, and it's the best pizza she has had outside Italy yet. Our server was Emma G., who was very attentive 💯% ,eventhough the restaurant was busy, and took care of any requests we had promptly. The lady who was seating customers, while also cleaning tables, was absolutely awesome and definitely made our day by getting us a seat outside. If you are reading this and haven't been to Piatto yet, what are you waiting for? You won't be disappointed! Highly recommend 👌 👍.
Had a really nice experience at Piatto this evening. The hostess is super attentive and polite. I commend her for holding down the busy fort tonight. Our server was nice, but clearly rushing. Food was amazing, as always. Will definitely be back.
One of the best pizza in the world
I frequently eat here with my family but I recently took my team from work to celebrate a work anniversary. All meals were timely, accurate and tasty. No surprise :)
Very yummy food and good service combine to make this place very popular. However, when it gets crowded it can also be quite noisy -- and there will be music to add more decibels ...
Always love lunching here!
Lunch was excellent
Great spot the food was awesome definitely try and make it there again
I tried the beet salad, Stephanie and Dolce e Fumoso, and they tasted amazing, moreover its a wood fire pizza!
We had a professional development session catered by piatto and they went above and beyond on the order. They labelled everything so there was no confusion, wrote notes on all the boxes so it was personalized and was quick to fix a mistake I made.
If you are looking for an authentic Italian pizza experience. You have found it. Amazing tasting pizza and spaghetti. Definitely be back with the entire family for sure
So good, but they changed the pepperoni and now it s kinda trash
The staff is almost as amazing as the food!
This was a takeout order. Only 2 minute drive to my hotel. Caesar salad was a mess, nothing crisp or fresh tasting about this dish. Wilted with many pieces already turning brown. Way too much dressing and the chicken was mushy even after the server told me it just came off the grill. The pizza ..the gods in Napoli would have rolled in their graves. Sorry this is mediocre pizza. The dough had zero taste and toppings were second rate.
My wife and I go here every year. Weve taken our time trying different apps and mains, but this year weve finally nailed down our favourites. POLPETTE ALL ITALIANA and ARANCINI for apps, the STEPHANIE and PICCANTE AFFUMICATA as mains, and the TIRAMISÙ for dessert. A fabulous night out! Parking: This location is in a large mall, immediately open to a large parking lot
Food was fantastic, had a number of apps along with their margarita pizza. All very fresh and tasty! I believe there is another location downtown if you are not in the east end, lots of great pizza places in town these days, this one is not to be missed!
Delicious food and good atmosphere. Great lunch special in particular. Great for dates or large groups. Vegetarian options: Plenty of options Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. Ask your server. Parking: Lots of parking in large lot. Kid-friendliness: Great for kids
We enjoyed the pizza and the side salads, the kids pasta was good too, but the waitress never told us that it comes with a drink and an ice cream, so we ordered a dessert for our child and only found out about the ice cream when the bill came and it showed up on there (free pop and ice cream). That pisses me off, but since we enjoyed the food and our waitress was generally helpful, I only took one start off for the service
Amazing...as always.
Excellent pizza, just too small for those of us wanting to take home extra. But great crust and wonderful and interesting choices for toppings. Had a salad also: quite nicely put together with excellent choices.
MUSHROOMS AND GORGONZOLA pizza was good. Plate never disappoints
Asked for well cooked but got light and cold pizza.
This is the first time I was at this location, as we always go to the downtown location when visiting the city. We had a fairly large group joining us, so we chose this location for ease of access and parking. The atmosphere is not as classic as the downtown location, but the food was excellent, along with the service. Great Napoli style pizza. If you love Napoli style pizza, Piatto is the place to go. Also very reasonably priced!
Stephanie and Caprese and India pints....what more could one wish for?
Went there to takeout lunch. There were only 5 customers and approximately 5/6 employees (waitresses, cooks and front desk). Not a single one of the employees had the decency to approach me and ask me if i wanted a table/menu or not. The receptionist was busy gossiping with other customer completely ignoring me. She rather enjoyed ignoring me. I waited 5-7 minutes and left. Neither me or my friends/family ever spending any dimes on their restaurant.
Went here for lunch and it was amazing. The pizza is to die for and I m pretty picky. I also enjoyed the Caprese salad and the anti pasta plate was great to share with one or two. I highly recommend this place.
I tried to make a reservation and the employee told me they needed a credit card on file where I had a large number. The host wasnt going to tell me why until I asked. I was informed that if less people came I would be charged $10 per person that didnt show up. I can understand that they saved space for us and therefore if people didnt show up they could possibly lose out on business, but to not be upfront about it was disgraceful! It was completely unacceptable and I strongly urge people to not go to Piatto. Frankly if this is how the company operates it should be shut down!
Always a great place! Music was a little loud but food and service was awesome!
Delicious!!
Delicious pizza and quick service.
Another great meal at Piatto. Service, food quality, always top notch. Seated quickly, served quickly but not pushy. The waitress, Mary, was knowledgable, ready to help and so happy and friendly. The feature pizza and affagato were amazing! Looking forward to our next visit.
Ordered a salad and pizza on skip the dishes and when I opened the pizza I thought it must be a joke. The pizza looked like a little kid made it and then forgot to put it in the oven because the chicken was cold. I ordered the Piccante Affumicata which was ... A Garlic cream base, smoked mozzarella, marinated chicken breast, Calabrese salami, and banana peppers. There is no way that chicken was marinated it looked like it was boiled, and Im not even sure if there was mozzarella on it at all. To be honest, all I could do was laugh.
Food was good except the GARLIC BREAD, which was so hard. I expected the core be soft but hard like the crust. Would be ok if I dip it in soup or something to soften it. It seems take out has priority over eat in last night.
Lighting could ve been better otherwise very good Vegetarian options: Non meat pizzas Food : 4/5 |
Try the burger!
The most consistent restaurant in St. Johns! The food is always delicious, the service is always great and the price is more then reasonable!
15 minutes of waiting to make an order, 45 minutes of waiting for our meals itself, some chemicals, and dirty cleaning cloth on the next table. They brought only one salad and 1 glass of beer from all our order, for two people... my boyfriend and I were sitting like an idiots with half empty beer glass and empty salad plate all this time until were completely gave up. When we informed our server about it, she just said ok... no apologize for the delay or time waist. In the end, when we pay for our meal ( glass of beer and salad ), they are expecting tips. The restaurant manager was there, mind her own business, and do not care too much about mess around. Thank you for the unforgettable evening. You were awful
Had a great time with friends. Margarita pizza is recommended.
Very pleasantly surprised on how amazing the interior was. Great service and food.
Tasty food.
I ordered the spaghetti, the garlic bread was cold. The server was excellent and replaced it. The food wasnt for me but everyone else liked it.
Best pizza ever!!!!!!! Very friendly staff, especially Mary!
Great food! The server was nice.
Only one fault! Place needs a major cleaning! The exposed vents are filthy with dirt and dust! Saw it fall to the floor. Food : 5/5
Never disappoints, great pizza and a great atmosphere at both of their St. Johns locations.
Overpriced and very small portions
Best pizza in town
After being disappointed with a promotion that another pizzeria would not offer, we chose to drive across town to Piatto. It was worth every kilometre and every dollar. Delightful service and lots of smiles from our server, Alicia. Excellent cappuccino, lasagna, and pizza (you have to try the Stephanie!). A wonderful evening that we both loved, and the Christmas decorations made the place even more cheerful. Well worth the visit. Thank you, Piatto!
The vegano pizza is outstanding! Its vegan so expectations were fairly low but it is very flavourful and good. It is one of the best pizzas Ive ever tasted.
No more carbonera! Everything else is good but this was my favorite thing on the menu
Delicious!
Delicious food (we ordered a trio of pizzas and shared). Service was awesome, and it was a beautiful place to dine. Will surely visit again.
Great lunch choice with a variety of pizzas. Beet salad and the sicilian pizza is my go to here.
Excellent gluten free crust and toppings. This is no ordinary pizza place it s very nice!
The food is very delicious, I really liked the consistency of the dough, since it is very close to Italian pizza dough, the service is good but could be better. Chili oil is very good
I can not understand why this place has recieved a 4.5 rating...I have given them 2 different tries. Although some of my disappointment might be from take out/delivery I am not convinced....I ordered the American pepperoni pizza...and wow....straight up hot dog slices on the pizza. Nothing more unappealing than smelling hot dogs when you take a bite of pizza. Secondly the pizza sauce has little flavor as with the dough. I LOVE this crust Cali style pizza that has a ton of flavor but I was very disappointed with the product as well as the price point. I have no problem spending good money on good quality products but this was severely lacking.
Great experience but I smashed my knee against the metal legs of their tables not expecting them to be made out of pipe. Haha otherwise a great time/meal
Great food and even better service.
As always we have been treated like celebrities. The staff are great and always helpful. Food was served timely and hot Excellent experience Food
Seriously underwhelmed. Recommended by no fewer than three friends, this was my much anticipated stop for dinner as I spent one night in St. Johns. The service was good, as was the beer, but thats about it. The crust on my pizza was mush, bordering on sopping wet. There might have been some flavour there but the dough took total control. A good wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza is something to die for, but this was not it.
Always a good option for dinner. Service is great and food quality is consistent.
Amazing service!! Knowledge of Gluten allergy! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Friendly Food : 5/5 |
Nice place to eat. Attractive decor! Not much in the lasagna dish though. That was disappointing! I had to get up in the middle of the night for a snack because I woke up hungry. Maybe the pizza would have been a better choice. Also, I found the menu hard to read and understand what things were. Probably wont rush back. But the place was busy there on a Friday evening.
This was my first ever visit! We came for a team lunch as my out-of-town team lead was in town, and we couldnt have made a better decision for the gathering! The lunch special was delicious and well priced, the atmosphere was modern, yet cozy, and the staff were all genuinely lovely! Will definitely be back! Parking: Huge parking lot, shared with multiple other on-site businesses, but you will have no trouble finding a spot. Kid-friendliness: This is more of an adult place, but the food is good enough for anyone and everyone! Wheelchair accessibility: Easy entry on the first floor, but there is also a second floor with no wheelchair access.
Great place for stone baked pizza.
Although it is expensive, I like the taste of the food and the atmosphere
The food was great, pizza, meatballs and salad all delicious. They were very busy on Mothers Day so our food arrived sporadically. Kids got their salad and we never got ours till 10 mins later. The kids salads were not tossed, ours was. Other than that, a great meal and most importantly, the Mother enjoyed it. I would go again, very delicious food.
Had a great experience! Place was busy but the food was outstanding and the beer was delicious. Will be back!
Pizza tasty of course and was surprised by the nice charcuterie. Pasta portion and taste was lacking a lot.
Love the lunch combo of salad and pizza, and service is quick and fantastic.
Great Food, Service and atmosphere!

Great service
Best pizza in town
Do yourself a favour and get the burger here! I don t even like burgers. But Piatto nails it out of the park. I can t wait for my next one
Great food, service, and atmosphere! Pizza and soup was delicious as always. Lots of pizza variety on the menu and some local beer selections as well. Food : 5/5
Great food & service! Love the atmosphere here.
Went there for family dinner
This place had been highly recommended to us. Maybe something was going on? Other customers around us complained-one went so far to ask for the manager. Lovely decor, ok food. Could be a great place. Food : 3/5 |
Nice atmosphere, friemdly service, and delicios pizza. Made my kids and adults all very happy. Easy parking and lots of options.
Pleasant cozy place to dine, reasonable prices and nice cocktails.
Try the burger!!! Can t go wrong! Just an incredible burger! They were pretty busy and the service wasn t that great, we had to ask for things couple times, even cutlery! But staff are very friendly and welcoming.
Great pizza
Don t think twice. If you re around, go.
Meal was delicious! Service was slower than normal and atmosphere was noisy.
Absolutely divine.
Cool cafe with delicious salads and pizza
Great place
The service was great. The VPN pizzas were maybe a 7/10 for taste compared to a genuine Italian pizza. Not in my top 10 but worth a try. The restrooms are very nice and also clean. Kid-friendliness: Our server was great with the kids.
Honestly the best experience and food for the money in the city.
Always a delicious meal here, the Stephanie is a classic and the drinks are great.
We went during the supper rush and were seated and served immediately. The server was very friendly and attentive, very short wait time on food, and it was absolutely delicious! We were very impressed all around and will be returning again soon. :)
Cool place, but honestly the food is mediocre and this was a highly recommended restaurant. Boring pizza without any real flavour. Maybe I m spoiled by living in Toronto, but I was shocked how mediocre the pizza was for such a highly rated pizza place.
Whenever I visit Newfoundland I always go to Piatto Pizzeria in the downtown core. This was my first time trying this location. We went on a Wednesday and it was rammed. So obviously its good. It felt like our waitress forgot about us a little bit but the drinks and food were great. I felt like the crust of the pizza was a bit doughy and felt like the sauce could have used a bit of flavour but still good. Both locations are great Wheelchair accessibility: Main floor of restaurant is accessible
This place is fantastic. Some of the best pizza Ive ever had. And we got an appetizer that was mozzarella inside prosciutto baked with sauce.... holy crapoli it was amazing. 11/10. We ate it and wept.
Excellent place to eat quietly.
Great food, service, cocktails are delicious and the atmosphere is good but can be a little loud.
Great food and fantastic service. If you love authentic pizza, this is the place to go
Really enjoyed dining there. From cocktails to food and service - everything was great. Parking: Its located on large parking lot with multiple businesses. Kid-friendliness: Would not necessarily take young kids out to Piattos. Its a more refined pizzeria-experience compared to your average pizzeria.
Everyone enjoyed their pizzas! The spaghetti was also delicious. The arancini was so flavourful - don t miss it!!
I ordered a pizza which did not specify that it was hot /spicy. I could not eat it. They graciously made me another to my satisfaction. Excellent customer service.
Not Italian
I am italian (as in born and raised in italy, not the fake american kind) and I think the pizza is decent. Very expensive, but thats true for everything in NL. As a suggestion, you should think about making more traditional italian toppings (they are way too complicated and very american at the moment), but most importantly, DONT CUT MY PIZZA. La pizza me la voglio tagliare da solo. If I was in Italy and my pizza came pre-cut, I would send it back.
The most arrogant and condescending service I ve ever seen
Excellent!
Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for my celiacs Food
Brushetta was cold and soggy. Pizza had nice flavor, but wasnt cut, also got soggy in the middle. Nothing stood out despite great reviews. Sadly wont be a return visit for me anytime soon. Our server was great though.
Excellent service and the staff are very invested in your experience. Love it!!
The most arrogant and condescending service I ve ever seen.. I would give this place zero stars people are very rude, and they don t have proper delivery services. I guess the reviews are so high here because it s the locals that are eating here but as a tourist, I would recommend you not to go here, horrible.
Had lunch there recently and as always the food was amazing. A shout out to our server, Sam S! A great meal combined with fast friendly great customer service ..can t wait to come back.
Awesome spot for lunch! always enjoyable , made even better by the awesome service from Sam S
Best pizza ever!
Everything was fine; nothing outstanding. The Elizabeth Ave location has a great atmosphere. The food was a little cold, and the pizza wasnt cut through plus the middle was very soggy. Overall, nothing to write home about.
Wood fired ovens, authentic Italian pizza
Great food, excellent service and atmosphere.
My Pizza was undercooked with liquid in the middle. I still ate it. It was tasty but i was expecting top notch pizza. Will give it a second try eventually.
Some of the best pizza I had while in Canada! The staff was great and the food was out in less than 10mins!
Best tasting pizza. Loved the vegan and white sauce option.
Damn good pizza, excellent service, clean and organized restaurant, top rank in my book
dough was a bit tough, ingredients were all on one side. Serve was really nice though.
Great pizza and friendly service.
We arrived at noon which is prime time for pizza in the city. The place was packed which is a good sign. We were seated soon enough and the service was fantastic. I had the soup of the day which I was told was made in house and was delicious. All four of us had pizzas, which were good.
Always a great experience. Delicious food and reasonable prices
Fantastic dining experience if you enjoy authentic Italian
The pizza is way overpriced for what your getting.
Great Italian food. Highly recommend the meatballs.
Very good pizza
Food was good and dessert was perfect. The restaurant is a little bit dirty like for instance I was sticking to the table and theres mold in the bathroom on the vent
It was sooo good! Delicious pizza, service at the highest level and a charming atmosphere. Thank you, it was my best birthday ever!
