We offer many other types of Italian dishes, including appetizers, salads, pasta, and delectable desserts. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten friendly options are available. Try our $18 lunch special – a customer favourite, featuring a 9" pizza plus a side soup or salad – available every day from 11:30–4:00 pm.
Very fresh and tasty house made pizza, it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had, we spent 2 days in St. John’s, every day we had lunch in here, we tried tomato based and non tomato based pizzas, both of them are amazing! They have many customers every day but everything is organized, food was faster than I expected, the staff were friendly and attentive
Delicious pizza! Have had pizza in Italy and New York and I have to say this is legit Neapolitan style pizza. Nice chewy crust, with great cheese and sauces. Got the meatballs to dip the crust in the marinara sauce. Meatball meat was very seasoned and tender. Got the Sicilian and pear pizza. Highly recommend. Beet goat cheese salad was on the best I have had. Dressing was amazing and beets cut up into bite size works so well.
Absolutely delicious! I had the Stephanie and it was so darn yummy!!!! Perfect thin crust and wood fire pizza!!!!!!! Very yummy! Super cute spot with excellent service!
The pizzas were really good. We had the American with vegan pepperoni. And the greca. Both were really good. Definitely coming back here !
Food good. Service not so much. It was moderately busy, not slammed. The host couldn't seat us fast enough, not bothering to ask if we liked the table or would prefer another of the many available (we did prefer another). And not providing any information to us as 1st time customers, simply vanishing before we were even seated. The server passed us by many times without acknowledging us before getting to us. The food and drink was top notch. We ate outside on this nice summer evening and when finished I went inside to ask for a washroom. The same host brusquely and with attitude gave directions (somewhat) I found the washroom, despite him, only to find a blocked toilet. I left. Won't be back. To me Service is equal to, if not slightly above, food quality in making a good dining experience. Especially things as simple as courtesy and making a customer feel appreciated.
Went for a late lunch and we were not disappointed! Food was DELICIOUS! We had the Arancini, pacchi du prosciutto and the siciliana pizza! Atmosphere was nice and pricing fair. Would go back to try their house made pasta which wasn’t being served at the time we arrive - starts at 5p
Went here to celebrate with my friends. It was a delicious meal. They got really nice drinks as well! Food tastes great. The place feels really nice too. It seems like an amazing place to eat at for official events or even just with friends. Will definitely go again.
I came to this gorgeous island thinking it was seafood I wanted. Well, true. But, it was the Neapolitan pizza that I needed. Hands down, the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Great atmosphere, great service, and my god that pizza was almost life changing. Forget the fresh seafood I thought I wanted… it’s pizza fresh out of the 900 degree wood fired oven at Piatto! Thanks for a terrific meal—
Authentic Italian pizza
I has excellent service and delicious pizza. I highly reccomend, and would go back there. Im from Edmonton AB Recommended dishes
The pizza was so delicious, the food service was a bit slow but everything is made on place and fresh. My friends and I did not have a reservation but the owner was nice enough to figure out a space for five person on a busy night. The service was good, I definitely recommend !
The pizzas are good but it is not normal to serve wine or prosecco in a water glass and not a stemmed glass
Pizza and beets with goat cheese salad were really delicious. Service was very nice and staff is very friendly. I would not recommend dessert though.
its okay, great pizza overall, cocktails not so good
Piatto is an intimate setting, an interesting menu of cocktails, and delightful flavors.
Great food, especially the Caesar salad! The waitress was very nice!
Went here last night for dinner being the first place we went to after landing at the airport from Ontario Danielle was our server and was so sweet and attentive Knew the menu well and gave us fantastic recommendations from the beer to the appetizers and mains Our dessert was also fantastic Thank you Danielle for the wonderful and memorable time You Rock !!!!! The manager was also a sweetheart accommodating us when we had no reservation Thank you
Pizza was what youd expect. I had a margarita and it was great. Light crunchy crust, fresh tomato sauce, could use more basil but all and all a good pizza. Waitress was nice but we were upstairs and it felt like an after thought. Not much up there, no cozy atmosphere.
Lovely pizza with incredible Italian flare. Very fun environment! No hesitation eating here again.
We re visiting from out of town as guests for a festival here in St. John s and we love it here! After work this evening we stopped by here to see if there was room for us to get some dinner and when we asked if they had room for us the server laughed in our faces. We felt very unwelcome and disappointed. We knew it was busy so we just wanted to know if they had room. We don t know the food scene here! We re just still a bit sad about this interaction and wanted to provide feedback about this. All the best!
Enjoyed a superb beet salad, a great pizza and a delightful desert served by a perfectly good server. Ill be back.
Closet thing to Napoli youll find here!!
Mitch was our server and he was amazing! Great recommendations and just an all around nice guy. Food here is amazing. If you re gluten free they have one of the best gluten free crusts around. Def come here. Prices are more than fair.
When we first moved to St. John s this was our family go to. Over time, the service and atmosphere have been on a steady decline. Our most recent visit was definitely our last. My son spilled his drink, many servers and the supervisor walked by without wiping or helping us out. I had to go to the bar and ask for a rag. The table was still very sticky and i asked the supervisor to wipe it up - she returned with a dry cocktail napkin?!? All of our food came out at different times with no apologies or explanation. Nothing comped. Dollar store silk flowers everywhere and old Christmas decor in the middle of August. It is sad - this place has become a total tourist trap. Horrible guest experience.
Fabulous Neapolitan pizza. In my top 3 for life...
Ive never tried sweet pizza Recommend Food
We grabbed an early dinner here and we are so glad we did. We don t have reservations but they had a table for 2. The pizza was thin crust and the favors were so good. The server was helpful by explaining their dinner options. He was attentive without being annoying. I would highly recommend reservations if you have a larger group, if it s a Friday night, or you want to eat there during peak time.
Oven fired Pizza. Delicious. Meatballs were very good as well.
Wow wow wow. The pizza was delicious and the tiramisu was amazing! Must try if youre in St-Johns.
Just wow ! Pizza is great. Tiramisu is a must try...! And service is great
Great pizzas! Great service! I enjoyed my meal.
My son and I had pizza. My wife and other son had pasta. We all enjoyed our food. It was excellent. Service was quite good as well. It took a few minutes longer to get the bill, but they were quite busy. We would go back for sure.
Amazing food at reasonable prices, which is hard to find these days. Server was attentive, everything we ordered was delicious. Lovely restaurant with nice character.
Loved the vegano pizza. Especially the delicious crust! Very satisfying!
A fabulous VPN pizza. Service is excellent.
Sadly wish I could give a better review. Researched best pizza places in St.Johns and this place came highly recommended so I went with a group to try it out. Unfortunately the waitress forgot to place my order so when everyone got their food/ I didn t get mine. They offered to make the pizza right away however I told them not to bother as everyone would have been done their dinner by the time my food arrived. Restaurant was quite nice and the food looked great. Too bad I didn t get to try it. Atmosphere 5/5 Food and service 0/5
Good food and even better service!
The pizza and salad are good. Limited choice of wine. The pizza is very good, the dough too. I have nothing to complain about, we felt like we were in a classic restaurant with good pizza.
It was the best wood fire pizza we had ever had so good
Love the food and the experience!
Absolutely amazing food! Friendly, albeit busy servers and cooks!!
Piatto is hands-down my favourite restaurant. The food, the vibe, everything is always perfection. Even ordered on food delivery apps like Skip the Dishes, they never miss! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian (and vegan) options on their menu, and not cop-out salads! Truky delicious pizza and pasta options. Dietary restrictions: Gluten-friendly options are listed clearly on the menu, and they are very accommodating to make a meal without an ingredient should there be anything from an allergy to a dislike!
The restaurant was very busy. They were able to slip us in at the bar. Wonderful food, wonderful staff. Highly recommend.
Pizza was excellent! Server was nice but lacking in service. Still would recommend.
Awesome food, staff and energetic vibe, great location and their caesar salad is the best! Pineapple Margherita was delicious!
Cold and undercook!
Piattos makes really good food. My buddy had pizza there today. Hes Italian and he said it was one of the best he ever had. I went there tonight and ordered a gluten-free, dairy-free pizza which they unfortunately messed up. But they made it right. Super professional staff. Highly recommend Dietary restrictions: Dairy Free Gluten Free
Food was amazing, service was fair. Tables inside around us were kept with left over plates, which brought fruit flies around...the quality of the food made up for it..
Everything about this place was perfect. The servers were kind, genuine and welcoming. They were attentive and interested. The atmosphere was beautiful, especially the wonderful mural on the wall. Most importantly the food was incredible. This was probably the best Gluten Free and Dairy Free Pizza have had in Canada, maybe ever and I have been to Italy. I would come here again and recommend anyone interested in good food to do the same. Thank you for everything!
Premium prices for a below average food & service
Had a huge fly in my pizza that was needed / baked into the dough. Didn t charge me for the slice but charged me for my beer. Gave us a gift certificate for a free pizza but won t be back.
Always a great time at Piatto. As a vegan I love that they have 2 red sauced pizzas BUT would love to see a white sauced vegan pizza. Everytime I suggest it I get pushback which is a bit discouraging.
They do a fantastic job with the dough! Toppings are good but not great.
Great pizza, really quick service. Alittle pricey for what you get.
Amazing service and delicious pizza. Definitely a good dough and great oven-baked flavour. Thank you for an amazing lunch before we leave town!
Cozy atmosphere, hospitable service, delicious vegetarian pizzas.
We had a pleasant time in this lovely Italian eatery. The waitress Beth was super charming and friendly, we ordered what she recommended and turned out to be indeed delicious. Food
Always world class..
Great Margherita Pizza. Pricing was reasonable. Authentic wood oven. Atmosphere made the place. Team serving us were very friendly.
Danny was a great server, he matched my vibe completely. I had the burger with a draft beer combo and the burger was absolutely incredible Out of control spot, you need to try it.
Delicious food, lovely atmosphere.
Came here with my aunt and had a lovely time! Amazing customer service from Bri ! Will be back again! :)
These people understand pizza from Napoli. From the wood fired oven crust to the toppings everything was perfect If there you must try the Trio Tartine for dessert. 3 tarts with their own unique taste and to top it off they can make an espresso. Thank you for my best meal in St. Johns
Piatto has a relaxing atmosphere, great food and great service!
Just a great place to share pizza, great wine
This was our final meal in St. John s and an unexpectedly perfect capstone to our trip! We foolishly hadn t made a reservation despite it being Mother s Day. We were warmly welcomed and. with a bit of creativity, a table was found for us. Staff are extremely welcoming, accommodating, and generally went above and beyond. The food was fast and made from fresh ingredients. Again, the perfect finish to a our trip. When we move her later this summer, we ll definitely become regulars. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu plus staff paid particular attention to ensure my picky 7 year-old enjoyed her meal.
Waiting for 17mins to get bill
Simply outstanding food and service delivered by a fantastic group of employees who make you feel like family
I am still hard-pressed to find better pizza in St. Johns
Great food, awesome wine, service was good and friendly. Atmosphere was nice, some live music or some quiet music would help. But an awesome spot, we will be comming back.
To give you a heads up if youre grabbing a pick-up order check the bottom of your box. Dealt with a sticky situation thanks to caramelized pear and balsamic reduction all over my car seats... We went for The Stephanie this time, a pizza weve enjoyed in the past. Noticed though, the toppings have been a bit on the light side in our recent orders. We attributed it to shrinkflation, but its still a bit disappointing, especially when youre shelling out $25 for a thin crust pizza. On the bright side, the service was quick and on point. Showed up 10 minutes early, and I was back on the road in less than 5 minutes. Thumbs up for that.
Good food and great atmosphere! Try them out!
We love this place and always make a plan to go here when visiting the city. Great Napoli style pizza at a great price, in a cozy environment with good service. There are a few exceptional servers which make for a really great evening. I highly recommend this location.
Delicious Italian food in downtown St. John s! I d definitely recommend the pacchi di prosciutto as an appetizer, the barbabietola arrostita salad and my favourite pizza is the dolce E fumoso. The pizza is very thin crust and full of flavour! We sat at the bar and our server was so attentive and professional!
The service was a bit slow but the manager graciously fixed that issue. I LOVE this place
Excellent!
Super fresh and tasty. They bake the pizzas right in the front so you can see it being made. Really cutely decorated for Valentine s Day. Wish the service was more attentive.
Outstanding gluten free crust, one of the best I ve had. And it s fully gluten free - cooked on a separate stone. Delicious flavors, all around excellent.
Excellent authentic food. Excellent value.
Still the best fancy pizza place in town. Get the Bianca, and dont sleep on the arancini for an appetizer.
Great tasting food but a little overpriced. Also a bit of a wait and the restaurant wasnt busy.
Best wood fired oven pizza and calzone. Staff are top notch.
Vegetarian options: Yes Dietary restrictions: Yes Recommended dishes
Perfect attention and excellent food! See u soon.
Amazing wood fired pizza!
This was my first time dining at this downtown location. The food was amazing, our server Josh was perfect ! He had great suggestions and very outgoing ! making sure everyone was enjoying their meals and drink.
The food was great as always. We ordered the arrancini for our appetizer and a pizza each for supper. The pizza options make it hard to choose! The authentic fire stone cooked pizza makes for the perfect crust. Definitely a must have.
Food and service were amazing. Will def come back every time I m in the St Johns
Came here for the first time the other night. We were seated quickly, our server was friendly, it was clean inside. I wasn t a huge fan of the orange creamsicle drink. The tomato sauce on the pacchi di proscuitto was really tart. The Stephanie pizza was good and my smash burger was decent. I don t think it was worth $80 though.
Nice little space in St Johns. Was looking for some Italian food and Piatto hit the spot.
Piattos is an instutution on Duckworth St. I always enjoy going here. Excellent food and service.
Great pizza and great staff. I advise.
Definitely coming back
Their pizzas are truly DELICIOUS! The best one Ive ever had. Weve had the one with honey/prosciutto and one with blue cheese & mushrooms. Both were very tasty. You can really feel the authenticity from Italia. The pizzas are cooked in a wood oven which is great. The incredients on the pizzas are sparse which makes every bite taste different. The cooks seemed to be having fun and if youre seating at the bar, you can watch the preparation. We didnt try their pasta but they looked freshly made. You should definitely go Edit. I went again to try their pastas and wow. It was DELICIOUS. I had the rigatoni with the lemon ricotta (chefs kiss). LOVE this place.
The pizza was delicious, the staff is kind, and the atmosphere is very nice with the open kitchen area and the dim lighting & candles. Would recommend booking though as it can get very busy especially on the weekends. The bathroom is very clean too. Vegetarian options: They have multiple vegetarian and vegan pizzas which are clearly displayed on the menu.
June 15, 2023 Small, charming and friendly restaurant that welcomed us without reservation...What a delight!!! We recommend it! Josée & Monique (Quebec)
Good food. Busy evening dinner hour. New server who did best she could to look after our group of 12.
We were only in St. John s for three days yet we ate here twice. The food was that good
I love Piatto!!
Best pizza ever! Waiter was very efficient. We ate outside and traffic was busy so the exhaust from cars was not great, but the food made up for it.
Best Ceasar salad I have ever had. Pizza was pretty good but a little undercooked for my liking. Goat cheese truffles and warm honey with wood fired bread were spectacular. Patio out in front. Nice place. Parking: Can be difficult to park depending on time of day and events happening. Mostly okay though.
Downtown Piatto is our favorite restaurant in St Johns. Food and service does not get any better, 5 stars across the board
Incredible pizza, and wine flight are a great idea
Freshly made and delicious pizzas!
Great service, good food, not cheap.
A great spot for delicious wood fired pizza with interesting flavour combinations! Service was great and fast. Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options for my daughter!
Good food the gelato and tortino al limoncello was great pizza was filling and the spaghetti was good with a small kick to it it s good value would recommend if you want pizza! (The Stephanie is must get) servers where also really friendly
Beautiful terrace. Service not up to what we were told. Pizza OK, the rest not crazy. Be careful with the caprese salad, it s 2 slices of tomatoes!!!!
It was nice that they had celiac-friendly pizza. (I wish the vegan cheese was more like cheese, less like sauce, though.) I was still able to have a lovely night out and didnt have to worry about getting sick, unlike at other places Ive been.
Service was exceptional and the food was delicious!! We had such a blast here to kick off the night for a bachelorette party.
Very tasty! Service was excellent.
Great pizza. Best in town!
Great place for pizza and pasta
Pizza was excellent and the service was tops. Our waiter was really friendly and courteous, made sure we always had everything we needed. Would go again for sure!
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options. But sometimes it is cross contamination when they are busy. Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of tables with wheelchair accessibility
Good service. Small pasta portion. Window table was great.
Pretty good Za overall. Nice to mix it up and try a fashion pizza every now and again
Great food
This is the best pizza restaurant in St John s stop here and get a pizza for a great price!
Good pizza, good espresso, great atmosphere!
The food was delicious. Service was a delight. Would I ever go back ...
Went with a large group and had a private room. Room had tables of all different sizes shelf together which meant it was awkward seating arrangements. Also not enough room for everyone at the one table area so we were split between two. The water in the kitchen sinks didnt work. And everyones meal was put on one bill and it was a huge tangle to get them separated.
Truly excellent pizza, lovely atmosphere.
As usual the meal was very tasty and the service was very friendly and excellent.
Lovely place, great service, amazing food, worthy, good internet connection
Finally we are found real pizza here in St. Johns.
Great food and service. Had a lot of fun there. Vegetarian options: You can get plain sauce and meatless pizza. Caprese salad too. Vegan might be difficult with cheese on many items and might have egg in fresh pasta. Food : 5/5 |
OMG.. first time here. The calzone was soooo very good! Had to share with a friend because it was so big!
Dolce Vita burger is a new favorite. The Caprese, pizza and wines are out of my sight.
Lovely place to eat. The food was very good the service was excellent. The only small negative was the high set of stairs to get to the washrooms. All in all a 5 star experience for my first time here.
The food was great and our server was fantastic. We ll definitely be returning.
Fast service, good lunch.
Great pizza, all the staff was amazing except the main host, she was an older lady.the way she treated the staff was horrible, the glares and way she talked to them was unexceptable, she would put on a fake smile for the customers then quickly wiped it off if she had to deal with one of the staff. It was uncomfortable to watch.
Excellent service, food and atmosphere. The energy was great and all staff were all tuned into the needs of customers. Was an amazing experience. Loved it.
Came here for a business trip and found this amazing restaurant. The food and the service was phenomenal. I would definitely be coming back here when I m down for a business trip.
Pizza base and bread wasn t well made, No full menu selection. Good and friendly service. Food
So, Im celiac. As us celiacs know, every time we eat out, we take a risk. First off, the food was really, really tasty! If youre just on a gluten-free diet because, I would try this gf crust, its delicious. If you have no problem with gluten, definitely try this place out. If youre a sensitive celiac like me, maybe dont try it. It might have been the staff working the pizza that night, so maybe others wont have the same experience. Ill take responsibility for eating the pizza after watching how they handled it, which pretty much guaranteed cross-contact with wheat flour. (My brain just wanted to believe it would be okay, because other reviewers didnt get sick after eating here.) So, yes, they have the gf dough separate, and bring it out on its own pan. But then its thrown down into the counter creating a cloud of flour puffing up from the work surface. The cook didnt change his gloves after stretching out regular pizzas, then immediately reached into the bins of topping ingredients. After, it gets placed in the oven, still on its separate pan. But then, they use the same peel for every other pizza to slide it off the safe pan, onto the oven surface. Then use that same peel to remove it from the oven and put it on a plate. They had things in place to attempt to make it safe, but execution was a big fail. It might have been just the employees making the pizza that night, or maybe no one there cares. Im not sure, as I never went back. By the time the server was bringing the bill, I felt queasy and had to run upstairs to the bathroom. Luckily, I think I got most of it out of my stomach and was only sick for a day, instead of the usual 9 days.
Ok best food spot in St.Johns. I ve tried a lot spots in this city but by far this is the best food, pasta, pizza spot hands down! I m from Toronto and trust me I know good food especially when it comes to pizza and pasta, we got a lot back in Toronto. That being said this is up there. We had a margarita pizza with half pepperoni. The Pizza s crust is so thin and soft, the pepperoni curls up and the sauce tastes amazing. We also had their rigatoni bolognese pasta, the pasta tasted home made and fresh, the sauce was just delicious. We also had the tiramisu for dessert, it was the perfect balance of coffee and cream. It was not over powering and tasted great. The environment is cute and romantic. If you are coming here on a date it s a solid spot. Price is pretty fair and the service is quite amazing.
Expensive and overated, there was some errors on the bill. Obviously, happy hour is not for everyone...
Lovely night out for our anniversary. Lovely staff and food. Cozy warm atmosphere and the temperature was just so. Really gave the Christmas/winter vibe. My bfs first time there and he love it! Won t be our last!:) also loved our server! (Can t remember her name!)
The most perfect, quaint Italian pizzeria! The best pizza and salad Ive ever eaten.
Really enjoyed the lunch special. Any pizza as a 9 and choice of soup or any salad. Delicious!
My favorite pizza in SJ. Love the caprese salad and the arancini as well.
Maybe I had the wrong pizza places there, but genuinely when I was in Italy for vacation I found myself wishing the pizza would be as good as piattos. Such a gem, we are so lucky to have it in St. John s! Food
One of the best pizza weve had so far. Really appreciated the gluten-free option, it truly was delicious. Great ambiance and super nice staff. One of the place to absolutely try in St-Johns !
I absolutely loved the pizza! It is my favourite that I ve ever had. Highly recommended for sure! My boyfriend had pasta there and he loved it as well. I got the Margarita with added Pepperoni and I absolutely fell in love with it. It s so delicious, juicy and full of flavour. The best pizza I ve ever had in my life and nice atmosphere too. Highly recommended!
We just stumbled across this restaurant and we re really glad we did. Delicious Margerita pizza and aglio oglio pasta!
The pizza was incredibly light and flavourful, I can t wait to come back!
Worst service, indifferent. So many restaurants to choose from, why here?
Went there for lunch and had an excellent experience. Great prices for the lunch menu!
We came in around 4:30 and it was not crowded at all. It took forever to get our food. My partner approached the pizza cooking area and asked about our pizzas and they were just sitting there, uncut and getting cold. The pizza cook said they didn t know where our waitress was. We did. She was outside talking with a really handsome man on the patio for at least 20 minutes. The manager apologized 5 times and brought our pizzas to our table. Now we were ravenous! The first bite was okay but my pizza was definitely cold and after my 1st slice, not really all that appealing anymore. The manager asked if she could bring me something else. I refused based on my partner almost done eating his pizza. My pizza has very little in the way of toppings and barely a whisper of tomato sauce. The cheese wasn t even melted and nothing was browned. Several edges of the dough were quite burnt though. It was a very disappointing experience that cost us $65.00
Excellent customer service! Food was delicious. Certainly will be returning.
Great atmosphere and pizza. Best gluten free crust I ever had! How do we get this in Toronto??
Great service. Great atmosphere. Great food. We had the mozzarella balls wrapped in prosciutto along with a Margherita pizza. Both were outstanding. House white wine was delicious as well. It was truly a great experience!
Food was not as good as expected.
I was passing by that notice a sign about lunch deal, small pizza with the soup. I bought the deal and brought home seeing the soup they gave me is more than half empty, check out your order before leaving the restaurant caue there cheap
sooooooo good.
Delicious food, great service, lovely atmosphere.
There is not many wood-fire pizza ovens this side of the Cabot Strait. This is one if them and will not disapoint you. Pizzas are done with care, topings are good quality and the combonations they ofer are creative. If you are in St Johns and like pizza you should try Piatto.
Delicious food. Helpful staff. It was a little noisy - though we were there at peak dinner time. The Vegano pizza was a great vegan option. They were kind enough to give us a shot of lemoncello at the end of the meal - which was a kind and appreciated gesture.
Simple food, but fresh and tastefull! Great service
As usual, a fantastic meal with great staff and vibe!
Amazing service and great food. The ceaser salad was amazing
We havent made reservations so needed to settle for takeouts. Im sure the food will be marvelous if we dine-in with pizza freshly delivered from oven to table.
One of the best restaurant in st johns, food id amazing, service is always unreal, piatto is great for family dining or even corporate events
Visiting from west coast, I found this place with my friends and Its freaking good folks!!! The food its just appetizing with an excellent customer service.
Amazing!
