About Us.

Our Restaurant Is A Collective Of Amazing People Striving To Build Delightful Italian Cuisine.

Welcome to Monkton's Pizza, a family-owned pizzeria serving the heart of Ottawa since 1978. Nestled in the vibrant ByWard Market, we began as a small slice shop with a big passion for authentic, mouthwatering pizza. Founded by John Monkton, a chef with deep Italian roots and a dedication to quality, we’ve spent decades perfecting the art of pizza-making.

From our signature hand-tossed dough to our fresh, locally-sourced toppings, every Monkton’s pizza is crafted with love and tradition. Over the years, we’ve become a favorite for locals and visitors alike, known for our warm atmosphere and classic flavors that capture the essence of old-world Italy with a modern Ottawa twist.
