Neighbour's Restaurant

I've been to Neighbour's Restaurant 5 or 6 times and I've never been disappointed. It's an Italian restaurant with a mom & pop feel and superb pizzas. It has also been featured on You Gotta Eat Here.

The location is pretty good as there aren't too many restaurants in the area and parking is free and fairly easy to find within a one block walking distance. The restaurant itself has a homey feel to it and they can take a couple of larger parties.

Service isn't bad, although it can be slow at times. Even when the restaurant isn't full, it can still take over 20 minutes for food to arrive due to all the take-out and pick-up orders that they have to process. When the restaurant is full on a hockey night, you can expect to wait 30 minutes as they work to keep up with orders.

The food at Neighbour's is really good. I always order a pizza because they are well made. The crust is crispy on the bottom (think Pizza Hut pan pizzas) but never too greasy and the crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They have a good amount of toppings which are fresh and reach close to the edges. My favorite combination of toppings is the Cajun Chicken, Onions, and Banana Peppers.

I've tried their pastas and lasagna which are both good as well. The pasta is never overcooked and the sauces are just the right thickness (if you've had pasta at a Chinese restaurant, you know what I mean by weak and watery sauce). There's a good amount of meat with the sauces and topped with a decent amount of cheese.

Their prices are very reasonable and on par with many chain restaurants. If you have the patience, the quality of the food is definitely worth the wait.

Summary
Food: Very Good. Pizzas are great and everything else is good as well.

Service: Average. Servers are nice, but the long waits can be irritating.

Setting: Good. Parking is easy to find and free. Restaurant interior is average.

Value: Good. Moderate prices but great food.
