Reviews Summary

Pizzeria Gusto is celebrated for its authentic wood-fired pizzas with creative toppings and a fantastic crust, creating a cozy and elegant dining atmosphere. While many praise the delicious food and exceptional service, some reviews mention inconsistent meat portions on certain dishes and occasional service lapses during busy periods.

"Came for date with my husband. Staff was very friendly. Ordered two delicious pizzas that came quickly and were hot. The best cocktails we’ve had, William the bartender was super knowledgeable and friendly! Deserts were 10/10 as well. Will definitely be back!!"

Kellie Collyer

"This place has been on my list for a while to try out the pizza. We tried the diavolo (scallops) to start. They were okay, but the sauce was a little bland, and not many of the flavors popped, making the price point not justifiable. We then tried The Don and Terroso pizzas. The pizza crust is probably one of the best neopolitan styled crusts in the city. We loved the unique flavors or the Terroso. We did not enjoy The Don's flavor as much. The meat combination felt off. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try some of the other pizza's, the more wild the combination, the better it seems here."

Jacky Will

"Stopped in today for lunch with mom. Our server admitted that today was his first day, and it showed, but he did his best.

We shared the Caesar and chopped salads and the Don and Sylvia pizzas. Once ordered, everything was quick to the table, the right temperature and delicious!

A note to the manager/owners - new staff need trainers or someone to float with them. Our server wasn't aware of the beer choices, which ones were unavailable, etc. A trainer would have been able to help them out."

Where to Find the BEST Pizza in Winnipeg (for 2024)

With stylish decor and a cozy atmosphere, Pizzeria Gustois a River Heights favourite, and it was named one of Canada’s 50 best restaurants by Maclean’s magazine. Open for lunch and dinner, the wood-fired pizzas are the obvious draw – try the Ryall or the Sinatra, two of our faves – but don’t skip the primi dishes, the salads, the secondi plates, or the desserts, which are all mouthwatering, too. The candlelit restaurant is perfect for a date, a family dinner, or a celebration, especially as their authentic Italian pizzas are considered some of the best in the city.

Academy Road’s chicest room is where you’ll find visiting celebrities (they usually rent in the neighbourhood when filming) and Jets’ players on their nights off. The wood-fired pizzas are what first put Gusto on the map, although mains like the decadent seasonal mushroom risotto and new housemade pasta dishes are rave-worthy too. This is the cornerstone concept from Academy Hospitality, who’s portfolio includes The Merchant Kitchen and several spaces within True North Square.
