Pizzeria Defina

Small, authentic Italian restaurant with a nice vibe. Food is excellent. Service is friendly. Great place to go if you're in the mood for "Italian."

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place after trekking up to the west end of the city. So happy we went inside. The food was amazing, even though I wasn't too hungry for a full meal, I ordered the earth platter (it's a charcuterie board with vegan cheese on it!) and our server was so friendly and nice. She explained what I could eat with my dietary restrictions and was even sweet enough to pick up some non-cheese bread for my dip across the street. The interior is super cute and I had a lovely experience, will definitely be coming back if I'm ever in the neighbourhood.

Fantastic little pizza shop on Roncesvalles in the heart of Roncesvalles Village. Authentic, creative, Italian style thin crust wood-fired oven pizzas. This place gets busy fast around dinner time, so go earlier than later. Friendly attentive staff with a decent wine list. Not cheap but not over priced either.

We arrived just after all the tables were filled so we had a long wait ahead of us! Waited for an hour, luckily with good company that flew by!
The service was incredible, we were checked on routinely and the absolutely lovely server provided us with complimentary dessert which was a lovely surprise!
The pizza was absolutely incredible, unlike any other pizza I have had and absolutely reinforced my love of pizza (not that it needed reinforcing!)
I will most definitely be returning, and soon!

6/5!! The food, the atmosphere, the service. Absolutely zero complaints. Lauren accommodated us in every way from our tight schedule to our lactose allegory. She didn’t forget one detail. The most pleasant lunch experience. Thank you Lauren and everyone else at the restaurant :)
