Barney's Pizza & Subs is a straightforward, family-run spot in the Dumaurier neighborhood of Ottawa that’s built its reputation on consistent quality and a no-fuss dining experience focused on pizza and Italian flavors. Rather than a trendy hangout, this place serves as a reliable local go-to for anyone craving a solid, well-made pizza without the fuss of fancy presentation.

The atmosphere here leans toward casual and comfortable—think relaxed takeout or a quick meal with family rather than a long sit-down dinner. Many locals seem to appreciate the freshness that goes into each pie, especially the balance of natural ingredients and that well-known homemade-style sauce, which gives the pizza a homey feel without being overly greasy or heavy. The crust is often mentioned as a highlight, striking a good balance between chewy and crisp.

Barney's finds its sweet spot with families ordering in or picking up dinner on a Friday night, as well as anyone who wants a straightforward, quality pizza at a reasonable price. It’s the kind of place people return to year after year—one longtime customer has tied this spot to raising their kids, which speaks to its neighborhood staple status.

  • The small Pepperoni Pizza is a crowd-pleaser, especially for those who appreciate a generous amount of cheese made from quality Saputo Gold.
  • Customers note the sauce tastes fresh and homemade, complementing the crust and toppings rather than overwhelming them.
  • Pricing is reasonable, which makes it easier to customize orders with extra cheese or opt for half-and-half toppings without guilt.

While it doesn’t compete with bigger chains on flash or gimmicks, Barney's sticks to the basics done right — fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and a consistent product. If you’re around Dumaurier Ave in the early evening or craving a thoughtful takeout pizza that reflects local tastes rather than broad commercial appeal, Barney's is a dependable bet.

I just brought home a large half pepperoni, half combination with extra cheese and it was delicious. I used to be a fan of Gabriel's back in their glory days before they expanded but they've lost quality control due to franchising and not what it used to be. Barney's is quality pizza at a much better price point. Natural ingredients, flavorful sauce and I don't break the bank for adding extra cheese. Very down to earth staff btw. It's located in a low income neighborhood and I"m thinking their great prices are strategic to make the food affordable for the locals. If that's the case, good on them and good business practice.

I have been getting pizzas from here since 2011! Great service and delicious pizzas. The order is never done wrong, the prices are reasonable and affordable. The employees are great and they offer a good customer service. I remember seeing someone complaining that one slice only was "burnt" when it clearly was not, but the employee decided to make him a new one anyway. They have a good selection of drinks and sweets too. One thing to mention, it is not an environment for families. The neighborhood is not the best. It is however great for dining in with friends or pick ups.

I got chicken wings and a cheese pizza from these guys! Best pizza and wings in this area! Pizza isn't greasy and the wings are coated beautifully in their mild (BBQ and hot) sauce and the wings are not dried out. I've been trying to find my new pizza place since moving to the Bayshore area and I found it tonight! Thank you!

Been coming to Barney’s since the 90s. The quality has remarkably remained the same. Impressed by their ability to continue to offer thick crust pies with generous topping amounts.
