The tiki bar is such a cool ambiance, with so much to look at in each area. The pickle waffle fries were unreal (and I don't really even like dill pickle) and the basic pepperoni pizza was amazing! Consistent food and service - highly recommend checking it out, my also recommend making a reservation ahead of time.

A prime example to never judge a book by its cover. The best pizza we've had in a long while. The decor and the staff's style adds to the experience. The drinks are well poured and tasty. About the pizza again, amazing. The crispy outer edges of cheese is a genius pairing to the toppings and gooey cheesy goodness. The topping combinations are really thought out. From the pepperoni type to the size of the veggies. Will return for more. Well worth the trip.

Korean wings are an absolute must! Crunchy and full of flavor. Just a little heat on the back end. The pickle pizza was fantastic (you have to love pickles and mayo) and the pizza crust is blow your mind good. Definitely will be back again. Staff were amazing.

A unique place! Don't let the plain exterior prevent you from going in. The interior is an amazing eclectic collection of tiki artifacts and fun lighting and sound. The pizza is absolutely amazing! 2 pieces and I was full...but I still had a third! So delicious! The place has real atmosphere and even better food. I will be back!!

Service is great, staff are welcoming and helpful.Cocktails are fun they really put effort in their appearance but also taste.A top pizza spot in Hamilton, food is delicious even the apps outside their signature deep dish pizzas are delicious.I recommend reserving a table ahead of time as it can fill up quick when busy.

A top 3 pizza I've ever had from anywhere in Canada. 9.5 / 10Awesome spot. Great vibe and Tiki decor. The best pizza in Hamilton. Big and strong drinks. This is a top 3 restaurant in the city, without a doubt. Perfect for guests, small events, and date night. Would love to see this go head-to-head with Descendants in Toronto for the Detroit deep dish crown.Pizza: 9.5 / 10(1) Spicy Pepperoni(1) Pickle PizzaCrust: 9.5Basically perfect Detroit deep dish style crust. Thick, crunchy, chewy, fluffy, perfectly crisp and greasy.Sauce: 9 / 10I was surprised by the simplicity of the red sauce, but very impressed. It's light, not too chunky, but has a fresh flavour and thick consistency. It makes a great marinara style dip, too.Cheese: 9 / 10Tasty. Quality. Lots of it. Nothing really to say other than it was very good.Toppings: 9.5 / 10Both pizzas were excellent. The pepperoni is the smaller cup style that chars so nicely. The pickle pizza was very good and nicely different. The sauces drizzled on that were also delicious. Definitely premium toppings all around.

Loved our visit! Fresh, yummy crafted food. Placement and ingredients and taken into serious consideration.Drinks are strong and worth the heavy price tag. We loved the embellishments and I appreciate the bar and our server, both who were awesome, for making me a mojito.The vibe was excellent. Each booth had a theme and the lighting was low but not too bad. Some of the other patrons were loud from drinking more than they should have but the place doesn't let anyone get rowdy.You have to go several times to really experience this place. Despite the shady part of Barton they have made their home, this place is a real gem.

“Glorified Gourmet Pizza Hut”The second you open the door from Barton and walk in it’s like walking through a portal to anywhere but Hamilton. Absolutely nailed the tiki vibrations, I seldom drink but absolutely got the energy in there to just drink cocktails vacation style.Very unique setup and decor, it really makes for a perfect pizza outing, it makes it feel like a festive meal/ celebration with pizza; hats off to that!The dough : the pizza was 1 1/4” thick, plenty of dough to play with. Beautifully crispy along the edges and very buttery soft. Having said that, the dough and crust is just about identical to Pizza Hut, if I were to put money on it I’d say the ingredients/ recipe for both is the same. The grease/ oil was distinct and I recognized the smell/ taste immediately. However this was pizza huts older brother pizza mansion.The toppings: I got the basic pepperoni and the secret pickle pizzas. The pepperoni one was good, no skimping on the peps and were mildly crisp, they were about 3/4” diameter and con-caved in a slight pool shape. The sauce was just fine, if you like tasting the tomato in the sauce this was very organic to that. It did however remind me of canned tomato paste, very unadulterated tomato flavour.The pickle Pizza was SUPERIOR by far. This was a first time taste of a pizza like this and I applauded it after my first bite. So just picture how I explained the dough earlier and then add a perfectly melted but still tough to pull apart cheese, pickles, perfect little red bacon pieces and then the garlic mayo… this was the thing driving the car. The consistency of the Mayo had a very high viscosity and almost cheese like absolutely wonderful feel. Was extremely impressed with this one.Drinks: I never like judging a pizza place based on their drinks because well…. It’s a pizza place. However, my wife had the dark and stormy and it was top notch, classic dark and stormy taste with a Perfect hint of lime to give it that tropic feel. Seeing other people cocktails as well I’d say their drink game is on the ball.All in all, will be back to try more pies because it seems they’ve really crafted some unique flavours into their craft.

WOW! What an awesome space to be in, the vibe is like your transported away. The wings we ordered are cooked and seasoned to perfection. The meat just slides off the bone. Flavourful and fresh house salad was exactly what I needed with the wings. The pizza crust is deep dish and the crunch on the edges was de-lish-ous! Fresh ingredients and don’t forget the super fun goblets that arrive when you order a thrilling drink! Service was so on point and friendly. Thanks team - what a fun experience dining here!

Great service, great food, great drinks, with a cool setting!Easily some of the best pizza I've ever had. Even though the dough is thick, it still has a light and airy taste to it. The tomato sauce used on the pizza was delicious. The Taiwanese dry-rub wings were also incredible, super crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Also tried the dill fries, classic pep pizza and the garlic pizza. Everything was amazing, including our drinks!The restaurant itself has such a cool vibe also. Will definitely be back!
