We did a pizza bar hop yesterday, and my friends said we HAD to include Cowagunga. “The best pizza we’ve had” they said. Maybe going in with those expectations affected my opinion. I wasn’t too impressed with the dough or the sauce. I found my slice to be overall quite salty. The dipping sauce helped tone down the salt with the creaminess (very good garlic dipping sauce). I love a more contrasting tomato sauce (when it’s more sweet than acidic against the salt). The pepperoni cups are perfect. Also had a good cookie! This definitely wasn’t the kind of pizza you could eat a lot of, more on the heavier side. I’m more into the Neapolitan style right now.

Cool trendy atmosphere and service, but the pizza is just GREAT!!!! Closet thing to NY style pizza, I have tasted in Ontario. Will come back for sure. Hamilton apparently is considered the pizza capital of Canada, fighting for the title with Windsor. Will be exploring more pizza joints around.

Cowabunga Pizza in Hamilton is absolutely amazing! The pizza is perfectly cooked with a golden, crispy crust and fresh, flavorful toppings. The wings are juicy and well-seasoned, and the Parmesan fries are pure heaven, crispy, cheesy, and addictively good. Every bite is full of flavor, and the portions are generous. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, Cowabunga Pizza is a must-visit for anyone craving incredible pizza, wings, and fries. Truly a standout spot in Hamilton!

I checked out Cowbunga after hearing about their award-winning pizza, and I can see why there’s so much buzz. I ordered the Margherita pizza, and it was genuinely delicious, the crust was perfectly crispy and had that satisfying crunch, and you could tell it was made with care. It’s a simple, classic pizza, but it was executed really well, which says a lot about the quality of the place. I also tried the Lemon Pepper Plus boneless bites. The chicken was juicy and crisp, not soggy at all, but the flavour itself was just okay, nothing special. I wish they offered a wider variety of flavours for the bites since the texture was great. The restaurant wasn’t crowded when I went, and there was plenty of seating, which made the experience comfortable and relaxed. The service was quick and friendly, and the staff member I spoke to was super nice and gave great suggestions. Fun fact — Cowbunga actually won “Best Cheese Slice in the World” at the International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas, which definitely caught my attention and made me want to try it in the first place! Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. The Margherita pizza was the star of the meal, and I can’t wait to try their other pizza flavours. If I’m ever in Hamilton again, I’ll definitely stop by for another slice.

I came here with friends during a day trip from the GTA because we read online that this was ranked one of the best pizza spots on the planet. Well, I came and it definitely wasn’t. I had better pizza at Pizza Hut. It wasn’t bad at all though. We got a few different pizzas, and it was pretty good actually. The all veggie with one the broccoli and all wasn’t good at all. The cheesy one was super good. It was a bit steep in expenses but the outdoor patio was nice and the patrons were very attentive and helpful to us. Orders came after about 35 minutes or so because it was being made fresh. Would I come back? Probably not, but it’s not bad food. It’s just not that out of this world good either.
