I tried to make a relatively large order(8 pizzas) and Pi would not work with me. I needed them at noon on a Wednesday, so I called Monday afternoon to give them notice. They said I’d have to call Wednesday morning to see if they could do it, and even if they could, they wouldn’t start making them until noon! As well, they said that if they could accommodate us, there would be an automatic 15% gratuity! For picking up pizza! Another time, my wife treated me to a night out and the owner was extremely rude and condescending to us. The pizza was okay, but not worth the owners bad attitude.

This is like a pizza place taken to the next level of amazingness. Stylish inside, great service and if you can’t find a pizza that blows you away, then something might be wrong… with you. I had the draft IPA, caesar salad and szechuan chicken pizza. All amazing. Highly recommended this spot.

Amazing gluten free pizza crust, thin and crispy :). I did pick up and it was ready on time and the service very friendly, will definitely be my neighbourhood pizza place!

We loved our dinner at Pi! The décor, theme, attentive staff and friendly owner were all amazing. And the pizza was incredible. Highly recommended!

Pizza is great but wear shades! I absolutely thought the pizza was delicious. We had the Fibonacci(a sweet pizza with caramelized pear with red onion, walnuts & gouda cheese) and another pizza with basil, oregano, tomato sauce and mini meatballs that was an award winner. We were divided at our table as to which one was our favourite they were both so good! Trips to the bathroom were not so impressive. This place needs to close for a day and just get cleaned up, seriously! Food on walls, dirty windows, floors and artwork falling apart.

Pretty good pizza, I prefer a wood oven pizza over gas oven. I’ve been there around 10 times since they opened; flaky service every time I’ve been there. IMO Piatto has better pizza and service.

On a cold night in St Johns i returned to Pi to see if it was as good as i remembered from my last trip. And it was definitely worth it. I had a great thai chicken soup as an app and followed it up with a Pascal pizza. Both were good but the pizza was excellent. Good service and a nice beer made a quiet dinner on a business trip a nice evening.

Pizza can get boring quick. It’s usually all the same if you’re used to delivery from the generic spots. Not the case at Pi. Here I found a great, colorful and comfortable dining room. Super friendly staff who are just as laid back(although not slacking on the job!) who make the entire experience more real, relaxing and enjoyable. The wait was little to no time from what I was expecting. And just after a few mouthfuls I looked to my dinner date and stated how we had to return in the near future. If you’re one for desserts(unlike myself.) I’m sure you’ll be happy to see how their cheesecake is always changing flavors. You’ll never get bored! Excellent restaurant, they may brag a little about how famous their pizza is. And they really mean every last word.

I’m not too adventurous when it comes to food, so I didn’t try one of their many specialty pizzas… just pepperoni & Italian sausage. Overall, it was a good pizza. I walked in and placed my order to go, and it was quickly completed and I was on my way. Staff was very friendly and great to interact with.

After my tasty frozen yogurt at Fat Nanny’s, I continued my St. John’s vacation adventure with a trip to Pi. It was an overcast late afternoon, and I was ready for some take-out pizza in bed(don’t judge! I was on vacation). I pulled out my trusty iPhone, and found Pi close-by and with decent reviews. While not all positive, the negatives seemed like not a big deal — I just wanted good pizza! I arrived a few minutes before 4, and was greeted by a friendly employee on his way in. Seeing I was a few minutes before they opened(4pm on Sundays!), I took a walk, picked up some Newfoundland Chocolate Company treats to bring back home(yum! That’ll be a separate review :), and made my way back about 4:15 or so. After viewing the menu online, I knew the Kevin Mcallister was for me(Home Alone cheese pizza!). It was $ 14 for a small, and was ready in about 10 minutes(or less, the time went by quickly). It wasn’t busy, and they were still getting set-up. The hipster vibe was fun, and the staff were nice. A few minutes later, I had my small pizza and the perfect end to a Sunday of sightseeing. Lots of options including soy cheese for special requirements(I just had the regular, but lots of options for sure).

Well thanks for NOTHiNG! Visiting from Vancouver, Unilocal says open until 10. We called to make sure seeing as it is a Sunday night, and Labour Day weekend. Answering machine says 930. We got there before 9, closed up tight, no lights. A fine how do you do. We are here for a week but won’t bother again.

Fantastic pizza! A wee bit pricey but worth it! Their thin crust is awesome & the staff specials on the chalk board are awesome!

Pi is an adorable little pizzeria located off of Duckworth. When I called, they advised me to make a reservation for two for 8pm. Honestly, it was kind of unnecessary. When we walked in, the place was half full. But we were still made to wait in the doorway for a good ten minutes while the servers completely ignored us. When we finally sat down, I decided to order a small Fibonacci(roasted garlic and olive oil base topped with compote of caramelized pear and red onion braised in port, baby greens, toasted walnuts and gouda cheese.) While my friend opted for the Sir Isaac Salmon(a sun-dried tomato and avocado cream cheese base topped with smoked salmon, sweet potatoes, red onion, fresh tomatoes and feta). The small pizza sizes are about $ 20 each and more than enough to satisfy a hungry adult. The pizzas are not baked in a brick wood oven, but with gas. This kind of surprised me because the décor of the pizzeria is reminiscent of a cozy Italian café. The small space is covered in bright eclectic art and they’ve highlighted the ceilings with the numbers of Pi. Nevertheless, the pizzas were really yummy. Some of the best pear compote I have ever had. I just wasn’t too impressed with the servers. They seemed cold and distant. I don’t know if they were overwhelmed by all the customers but I felt neglected. I would definitely revisit for the yummy pies, but hopefully, someone else is working that day.

This place rules. As a gluten free vegan, you can imagine how excited I was to find that I was able to actually go out for pizza with confidence and not have to make any sort of compromise to my diet. And it wasn’t no ordinary messily cracker crusted saucy pizza, this was literally one of the best GF crusts I’d ever tasted, piled high with veggies and even the soy cheese was delicious. Shocked the hell outta me how similar it tasted to mozz. I live in St. Johns in the summer and this will now be a staple spot, no doubt.

On our second last evening in St. John’s, my travelling pal Claire found Pi online when searching for vegan options for me. I have to say, St. John’s was the last city I expected to find such a rad place. After experiencing a drive-by-nerf-gun-shooting walking down Duckworth to get here, I was immediately soothed by the cool aesthetic and awesome post hardcore music playing in this little nook. My friends and I shared an order of garlic cheese bread with… SOYCHEESE. What’s that? Somewhere in Newfoundland serves vegan cheese on their menu? YES. YESTHEYDO. And quality soy cheese at that; none of that secretlyunvegancaseinstuff, or grosslysweettapiocadaiyacheese. Following this, we each ordered our own pizza as I was with one carnivore, one vegetarian, and was the loan vegan. I had the veggie life with vegan cheese. High fives to this pizza. It ruled. Following our delightful meal, my one friend ordered a piece of hot fudge cake, which happened to be vegan. I tried a bite and wasn’t really taken by it, but I am also a vegan baker myself so am super picky. If I lived in St. John’s, I would order pizza from here everyday if it weren’t so pricey. :)

decent pizza, interesting/unique combinations for toppings. A bit pricey and if you’re used to either NY Style pizza or Chicago style pizza you will be dissapointed. Decent atmosphere :) :) :)

At this little establishment, I ate some of the yummiest pizza I have ever had in my life. What a surprise! I wasn’t expecting to find that in St. John’s, after having been to NYC, but there you go! In fact, this place was so good that we ate here twice in the seven days we were in town. The décor of the shop is also just adorable. It’s bright, clean and funky with some very cute artwork(and some poetry volumes in the bathroom!) The staff were a little bit slow, which the first time we went in was perplexing as we were the only people there. When we returned, it was a busy Friday night and the service was much faster. Go figure. But the real star of the show here was the pizza. Drooool. Now I’m usually a girl who likes her big, deep dish pizza, but this flat-crust was absolutely perfect and so light! The first time I had the Archimedes which was quite good. I was especially impressed with the crust. We also had dinner at Piatta, another pizza shop while we were there, and I found their crust to be doughy and glutenous, and could not be eaten without a fork and knife as it had no firmness to it. But this place, the pizza was thin, but firm and crisp. Just about perfect! The next time we returned, i had another pizza… I can’t recall the name of it now, but it had pesto, goat cheese, bacon, banana peppers, red onions and roasted chicken(and a sprinkling of really killer fresh parm). Now this pizza was something else. It was SO flavourful, crisp and fresh — by far the best thin-crust pizza I’ve ever had and rivaling best pizza I’ve had period. If you are in St. John’s, do not miss this spot. It’s clear the owner(who was there both times) cares a tremendous amount about what she does and frankly — she kicks ass! This place is a gem… if only it was on my side of the country. Can’t have everything I guess!

Ok, in Houston where I live, this place would have been 4 stars. But in St Johns, where everything is over priced, it’s a tiny town, the cheese tastes funky, and everyone wants to shove fried cod down your throat… This place was a godsend. I had a really yummy pizza with lots of delicious toppings, the crust is awesome for thin crust, and they have many options besides tomato for a base(i went with pesto). Found out later in the week they are closed on Tuesdays, which is a bit random but fine. The pizzas are not as expensive as some of the other posters are making it out to be… especially in comparison to anything else in the town. The place also has a really cool vibe.
