Top Tags:

Pizzeria Gusto is an extension of my dinner table, where friends, family and loved ones gather together to share conversation, laughter, food and wine. The aromas and sounds are a constant reminder of centuries old Italian traditions, which instantly welcome you to the family.
We believe that pizza is the perfect food. A blank canvas that has unlimited possibilities in both taste and texture. By using fresh local produce and authentic Italian ingredients your experience will surely have you saying "Bellissimo"!
Our wood burning oven comes from Reggelo, 20 km from Florence. The Valoriani oven is hand crafted by a family of artisans that has been perfecting their skills for 5 generations. Its domed brick roof and 650 degree temperature is the perfect vessel for creating the perfect pizza.

The ambiente is nice and the noise level was very high when we were there. Service was good. However the pizza's we had were not anything special and they got cold very fast. So I had to request it to warm them up again. Value for money? I would say overprized.

Service was awesome, our Host Mark was very attentive. Loved some of the new options on the menu Ravioli was delicious 🤤 would like the roasted Brussel sprouts or calamari as an appetizer option. The B Day desserts 🧁 were outstanding and not a speck leftover

The ravioli was very tasty, a little over salted though, but there was only like 4 tiny raviolis. Like, for that price I’d expect more than a portion for a mouse. I finished my lunch in about two bites and my friend was still eating her salad for another 20 min.

Didn’t love the new salads on the menu. The pizza was good, but not as good as I remember. As always we don’t have the wine as it is so overpriced. We did have a wonderful apple pear tart with whipped salted caramel which was amazing. I still enjoy going to PG but I feel like it’s in need of a little more zip in the menu.

We were seated at the table for 20 minutes before anyone came to even offer water. Staff kept walking by, literally ignoring us. When we arrived, there was one other table, prior to anyone visiting our table, another half dozen tables were seated and received prompt attention. Further, I ordered the Vongole, which was off the charts salty. I am Italian, I am very familiar with this dish, and make it myself. In my opinion, massive fail. On the other hand we shared the Chopped salad for the table, which was delicious, but perhaps a little heavy handed, for my liking, with the chilies.

Our food took a surprisingly really long time to come out for a Tuesday evening. The Waterloo pizza is the best pizza I’ve ever had. However there was a hair in my husbands pasta.

It was fine...Three small to medium size scallops for 42 dollars, veggies good, radicchio bitter for dish..good but nothing great. Pizza crust great...toppings good...service was nothing special slow start, no menus, hostess and support staff great (seating, filling waters and what not), main waiter saw maybe 4 times...just ok. cocktail just ok...in the end 2 drinks/2 meals for $160 dollars...special occasion noted on reservation but nothing mentioned by waiter...Not in any rush to return.

I love this restaurant! It's the perfect place, the best place in the city, to grab a couple pizzas and a salad. The food is first-class and beautifully presented. I'm a beer person myself - but, the cocktails look great, and get rave reviews. The service at this location is beyond compare in Winnipeg (Gusto North service, not so much) - prompt, considerate, knowledgeable, helpful. I love the look and feel of the place - both inside and the patio. Just a great, great restaurant!

One of our favourite places to eat out. We have never been disappointed with either the food or the service. We have been going there since they opened and have enjoyed watching them grow and evolve, yet maintain a consistent level of quality and service. Kudos to Gusto!

We missed your Grilled Caesar salad which was unique and delicious however my wife did enjoy the newer version still. We all liked our pizza. Music drowned out our table conversation. We must be getting old.

This was the second time we had pizza and salad at Pizzeria Gusto. The salads were nice but the pizzas were not as good as the first time. We also like a pizza with a cream sauce but all the non-tomato sauces were nut-based which we could not order because of allergies.
