oddBar.

I recently visited OddBar in St. Catharines and loved their Detroit-style deep dish pizza 🍕—the sauce on top was a delicious touch. The Buffalo Garlic Parmesan pizza was also awesome. While the decor might not be everyone's taste, the friendly service and outstanding food make it a spot worth visiting.

Oddbar We came here after searching high and low for a decent dine-in pizza joint. We noticed that most of St Catharines is peppered with take-out only places. The online menu at Oddbar beguiled us. Inside, we were off put by the stark, urban-decay decor, but it didn’t take long to realise that the interior was merely there to accompany the stars of the show: pizza and beer. Let me explain that I’m a light beer guy. Coors Light and Corona fill my cup. Hence I chose the first beer on the extensive list of local craft beers - one described as a light, blonde lager. The 5% alcohol content pushed it past my comfort level, but the taste was spot on! It went down easily. For my second pull of the same, I mixed in some Sprite - I told you that I like them light - to help take it down a notch. The staff members we met were friendly and chatty, and we felt less like we were loitering in a disturbed back alley than when we first walked in. I studied other guests as they first entered through the doorway, and their body language mirrored my own mixed feelings when we had arrived. Now, we switched gears to choosing a pizza each. There are two main categories offered, Detroit-style square, and regular round style. And within these two options there are variations that you must first make a decision upon. The assortment of recipes was astounding and I remembered what had first cast its spell upon me when doing my initial Googling. We studied the menu for ages, turning away the server, for “just another minute” a couple of times! Tough decisions had to be made! After much deliberation, I chose the “Pear ‘Nduja” regular 12” round, and my partner the “Drunk in Windsor” 12” regular round. We were given clean plates, cutlery, napkins and red chilli flakes when our hot pies arrived, and just as well, as these beauties commanded a delicate consumption. The slices were too hot to grab by hand and stuff in our mouths, so we chipped away at them instead. My masterpiece had tantalizing bites of pear, spicy Italian sausage chunks (‘Nduja) and Gorgonzola and Mozzarella streaks. Every bite was better than the preceding! My partner exclaimed, out loud, that she could tell that the Mozzarella was fresh, just by the aroma, and that the crust was perfect. She later summed it up by stating that her “basic pepperoni pizza, was anything but basic!”, with the tomato sauce being fresh and flavourful and the pepperoni shreds (not slices) going down easily! I had eaten, probably, the best pizza I’ve ever enjoyed and we’ve put Oddbar on our “must return” list!(Do not confuse this place with their sister restaurant Oddbird) If like us, you find the interior to be a tad overwhelming (think graffiti’d parking lot behind a waste recycling plant) then remember you are here to eat and drink! The smiling staff members will soon put you at ease and “the boys” in the kitchen will make your taste buds sing for joy! Well done all for an intriguing combination of jarring and charming!

The pizza and wings are really yummy here! We decided to try oddBar after a great meal at oddBird the night before, and although the two are very different, the food is just as good. They were very accommodating to our young children, and both the deep dish style and regular pizzas were a hit with the whole family. They also have a good selection of drinks.

First time trying OddBar today, excellent service over the phone, as well as in person. Very kind and welcoming. Ordered the Detroit style pepperoni & buffalo wings. Paid 46$ Pizza crust was 5/5 The sauce was flavourless needs more spices. 3/5 First time seeing seeds instead of cornmeal, the texture of the sesame seeds on the top and bottom of crust, was a no for me. Wings are okay, but not a lot of meat on the bone. Could be a manufacturer thing.

Who does love pizza. The sauce, the crust, the cheese, and whatever else you want on it. Well, this is a real pizza joint. Except the pizza is delicious. We shared the square Detroit Style Pepperoni Pizza. I don't usually like thick crust, but this one was light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The tomato sauce was fresh, sweet, and full of natural tomato flavor. The pepperoni was on top of the cheese and had the edge curl. It was really good. First we went inside to eat because it was very hot outside. But, it seemed that their a/c, if they even had any, could not handle the heat between the oven and outdoor temperature. So we sat outside. I recommend you wait until this heatwave breaks before eating inside. The service was good considering the heat and the condition she had to work in. There was only one person serving. But the pizza is well worth it all. This is a must try if you are in the area.

Honestly one of the best pizza spots in Niagara Region! For me as a picky eater i could find a good variety of the pizza . You are able to moderate and substitute some items yourself ! Really liked an ambiance, service and food quality! Don’t know the name but as well our server was helpful and attentive (blond girl)

First time a couple of weeks ago and have already been back twice. Their pizza is delicious! Crust is gently blistered and very light. Great choice of toppings. Size is perfect if you don't like to share but if you do, you can sample more than one.
