My partner and I have visited Pubblico four times now, once for the hot dogs and three times for the Brooklyn-style pizza. We had the pleasure of being served by the owner (Rod) during our most recent visit for pizza and some cold brews. He took the time to tell us the story of how the pizza served here was inspired by his multiple trips to New York proper and researching what makes the pizza so special (e.g., John’s and Di Fara). Not only do we love the pizza here, but the story behind its development/inspiration makes it so much more special! The service here is excellent, the food is outstanding, and the vibe makes you want to come back the very next day. Definitely a Westboro gem :)

You'd be forgiven for walking past this place. It's a narrow front and doesn't look like much from the outside but once you step in you'll find a sports bar vibe with many TVs, friendly staff and a number of regulars. Even better is the food. Sports bar pub grub with an upscale twist, expect to have house made chutneys and ketchups as well as twists on favorites. The parmesan sauce on the wings is enlightening and their grilled cheese is to die for. Highly recommended.

Have been to Pubblico on several occasions the last few months.Beer nice and cold.Happy Hour very good!Guy behind the bar terrific!Today we decided to take a pizza home.Thin crust, perfect, tasty!We will be going back more often.Great place Rod.Mike and Connie

Stopped in for a late lunch after getting a massage up the street. Had a large 4 topping pie which since it was Sunday was half off. Pie was delicious; fresh dough and ingredients. Would have happy paid full price. Beer was nice and cold; atmosphere was warm and cozy. Sorry we waited so long but will be back soon. Thanks for a great experience Pubblico; See you soon !!

Good selection of beers and cocktails but the best was the pizzas. Toasty crusty with a bit of a smoky flavour.

We ordered takeout from here NYE. It was delicious! We had the Caesar salad which had a delicious dressing and pancetta and croutons and some kind of yummy white cheese (not parm). Then we had the steak sandwich which had a really yummy grilled steak flavour and a super nice, soft Portuguese bun. Lastly we had the mushroom pasta which had a light but delicious cream sauce with a serious rosemary flavour. Not sure if the fettuccine was fresh but it tasted like it was. All in all really good. I’m sure in person it is even better!

This was my second time at Pubblico and certainly not my last! I had the Cony Island Dog. It was fantastic! Also had a NY Slice on my previous visit. Excellent pizza! Atmosphere is nice, homie & cozy. Service was really friendly and inviting!!

I like this place … food good, service attentive… cozy atmosphere …good prices… lots of potential…. But there is a BUT…. The music playing out of the sound system is BORING and way too LOUD… not conducive for a quiet relaxing end of day food&drink atmosphere …. Real turn off… might not go back because of that…. It’s too bad… it showed a lot of promise.sent email a month ago as suggested but have yet to receive a reaction.

Wow, what a bad experience. I ordered the publicco chicken parm and my girlfriend ordered wild mushroom fettuccine. They first came out with chicken fingers. Not what I ordered! While my girlfriend was eating, they were preparing my chicken parm entre. It came out as a sandwich, again not what I ordered. But get this. The chicken was chewy as it was raw! My girlfriends fettuccine was flavorless. I gave this place 2 stars as the ceasar salad exceeded my expectations

I got some food from here I wasn't to sure what to order and I asked one of the wonderful servers there, I believe her name was Jaz she helped me with the menu selection I ended up ordering a Ny style chicken pizza along side a Salad and a poutine by far the best fresh local food I've had I highly recommend this place good vibes and helpful employees ??
