Trendy, casual-fine dining experience serving Italian-French cuisine and a large selection of pizzas from a wood burning (al forno) oven. Heritage House Pizza Co. is closed on Mondays.
BUSINESS CLOSED
Wow.
The pizza is amazing, the ambiance is unbelievable (I drove by the house every day and would NEVER suspect the interior to be as impressive as it is!), and the service was outstanding (they mixed up our pizza order so they brought us a second Large to correct their mistake! yum!).
We hadn't left yet and were already planning excuses to return and compiling a list of friends we wanted to share it with.
A perfect place for a casual, romantic evening...sip on a glass of red wine, enjoy some classic italian style pizza and finish it all off with some chocolate fondue...all at a price that leaves money in your pocket for a thoughtful gift. ;)
...enjoy!
I've been here twice with my two kids and will return on Tuesday or Wednesday because twice we have waited about 30-45 minutes at the weekend for our pizzas and I have a problem of impatience with my children. The server explained that the wood itself takes up quite a bit of space in the oven leaving room for 3 or 4 pizzas at a time. We still order from Me & Eds sometimes but mostly because they deliver.
The interior of the restaurant is dark with wood floors and ceilings/timbers. Nice mood lighting and black/white silent films.
On the negative side, this is not a cheap restaurant for younger kids and they don't have a kids menu.
I have eaten here a few times with friends and my husband and this is definitely the place you want to go for good authentic Italian pizza and entrees. The service is not 5 star but the food is excellent. You can tell that the ingredients they use for their pizza is fresh, right down to the mozzarella. Do not miss out on this place!!
Very cool ambiance that we like to take friends.
Been there a few times now so decided to try a few items other than pizza, not a good idea.
The pizza was vey good, traditional brick oven style with fresh taste and not oily.
The pasta dish, seafood linguini, was waaaay too salty and the noodles were very poorly overcooked.
The noodles had all fallen apart and were mushy.
There was mention that their former Chef had left them, hmmm....
It was on of the best places I have been in a long time. The ambiance was outstanding and looked grand. I had the Greek Pizza with a sherly temple. The pizza I had to say could have used more feta cheese but the rest was amazing. For desert I had the Chocolate Fondue. This was a great value and had tons of fruit. The service was great and fast. I loved the way the preserved the dumb-waiter and the other heritige aspects, but with a modern twist. .
My husband and I checked this restaurant out last night and I have to say that it was well worth the 30 minute wait. I was delightfully surprised by the modern yet cozy decor of this heritage home turned restaurant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a romantic, casual place to dine with excellent food. Pizza and wine are a 10 out of 10!
We ordered one large and one medium pizza and two appys and one dessert. Bill came to almost $100. Price is not bad but the value that we received was not quite there. I have more toppings on my hand tossed pizza at Panago than here. Yet, and the ingredients aren't as fresh compared to other fine dining pizza places that I have visited.
Service and ambiance is excellent. But the food is very slow even though there were only 4 tables eating. This is a very small scale restaurant. Not suitable for big parties. If you want better pizza with more toppings I suggest taking a short drive to vancouver's little Italy on commercial where it's more authentic and portions are bigger.
My wife and I took our children to this restaurant on a busy Saturday evening. We had a great time. The food was impressive. We strongly recommend the chicken pesto pizza and the penne carbonara -- they are delicious. We ate downstairs which is quieter than the main floor and enjoyed both the Charlie Chaplin movie and the frenzy around the pizza oven. A good place for a couple to chat and enjoy dinner and a glass of wine.
Two thumbs up!
We went to the restaurant because it was recommended to us. I have to say my meal was excellent (chicken, pesto gnocci) but my dining partners meal was too spicy. She ordered the buffalo chicken pizza and it was exceptionally spicy and she enjoys spicy food. Our server refused to allow her to order another item, insisiting she pay for the pizza. He said he checked with the kitchen and they said they would not allow her to return the pizza.
Based upon the several recommendations of our friends, we tried this resturant last Friday night. Joining us were my in-laws who were celebrating their 41st anniversary. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by the host who indeed look liked David Susuki and escorted us to our table. Once seated,he mentioned that the entree special features of week was Buffalo Saltimbocca and the Crab Ravioli which is prepared by their 5 Star Chef-Dominique.
My husband decided to go for the Saltimboca and for me the Seafood Canneloni.
The in-laws went for the Seafood Ciopinno and the Grilled Chicken Pesto.
Prior to our entrees, we went for the Antipasto and the Prawns Romaneques
The overall presentation, taste, and quality of the meals were simply outstanding. Nothing we would have expected for a Tricity dining establishment. It is more reminiscent of the expensive restaurants in Vancouver.
For our desert, we were recommended to try the Chocolate Fondue which was delicous.
The service was professional and attentive, our wine glasses were refilled at the appropriate time.
The decor and ambience of the place is amazing. The mood lighting and music background just made a perfect combination.
It was a perfect night for us. It sure made an impression on my in-laws who are very hard to please to say the least.
Thanks for a lovely evening. We will be back.
My husband and I moved to Port Moody from Vancouver a year ago and had been quite disappointed by the food offerings in the area. We had heard about Heritage House from some of our friends and decided to try it out last Friday. After being greeted by the maitre'd (who bore a strong resemblance to David Suzuki), we were told the wait was going to be about an hour. We were surprised and grateful when he asked if we lived close by and offered to call us when our table was ready. A quick 45 min later (and a glass of wine on our couch) and we were off to enjoy one of our best evenings out!
Our server was friendly and attentive (and recommended an excellent Zinfandel to compliment our meal) and the decor was funky and rustic (very cool Reno’s). We shared the antipasto platter and prawns to start (both excellent) and decided on the, Boeuf En Daube and Grilled Chicken Breast for our mains. We were blown away by the food quality, and the flavours were reminiscent of more expensive Vancouver restaurants. Our only regret is that we didn't try the Pizza! We recently told some of our Vancouver friends that they have to try this hidden gem, it's worth the drive!
We tried going to this restaurant on a Saturday night at 7pm. The host looked at as like "How dare you come here without a reservation", he could seat us at 9pm at the earliest. Okay, so we left. The next Friday night we called for a reservation. They don't take reservations between 6 and 8 pm. (So how could we have had one at 7pm Saturday?)He took our reservation for 5:45 and would hold the table until 6pm. We showed up at 6 and he said he didn't have record of the reservation (We just made it at 5:30!) but he reluctantly gave us a table. We had a table beside the bar where all the waiters are coming and going. It took 10 minutes before we were offered a drink or menus. The selections of wine by the glass is poor at best. The menu is a contradiction. Is this a fine dining restaurant or a pizza place? I don't think they know. Most people at our table ordered pizza which was mediocre at best. My teenager did not finish hers. How bad does pizza have to be that a teenager won't eat it? Another person at our table had Cioppino which had no flavour. Our waiter obviously had no experience in serving or with the menu. He couldn't even identify the pizzas as they were put on the table. They also have a big screen which was playing silent movies. It was a Canuck playoff night. I think most people would rather have the game on. All of the above coupled with no parking anywhere near the place will insure we will not be returning.
Our family decided to give this new restuarant that just recently opened up in our neigborhood a try. We decided to go last weekend and was informed by the host-there would be at least a 30 minute wait for the pizza. We were also informed that the pizza is created fresh daily and they create there own tomato sauce. This is good news as I'm Italian and prefer the REAL DEAL.
It was worth the wait and most definitely different than any other pizza's in the Tri Cities. I ordered a Carnivore(all meat) my wife had the pesto Chicken, and my other two young teeners got the Da Bomb and Salerno. Food overall,was simply outstanding!!!
My family really loved the atmosphere! Something different for Prt Moody. Design of the restaurant interior is something you see in trendier places in Vancouver. This is a nice change indeed.
Service was great and attentive and the host(David Susuki clone)regularly checked the room. He also approached us to ensure that we were pleased with
our pizza's. For our desert, we decided to go with the Chocolate Fondue. No regrets, as it was so delicious and finished everything.
Next time we come by, we will have to try the Chef's entree presentations. The table next to us were raving about the Orgnic Grilled Chicken Breast and
Artic Char. This is definitely not typical pizza joint. It is much better.
It is the best hidden gem. We'll be back....
We wanted to try out this new restaurant for it's pizza and called for take out. As there are only 2 adults eating this, usually a medium anywhere else is more than enough. When my husband called to ask, they suggested a large and good thing they did!!! When we picked this up, it was in a huge New York style box and the pizza only filled half of it. There was only 2 pepperoni's and green peppers on each piece. The cheese was good but could have been melted longer and there was a lot of dough and it came to $27 for a 3 topping. I was just disappointed as my husband loves Pizza Hut but I had to agree with him tonight that it would have been the better choice. The interior of the restaurant looked great and I would like to try their other dishes based on the other reviews but have to say I'm a little wary.
My girlfriend and myself have eaten there twice. The pizza is very good but they don't serve draft beer. Pizza without draft beer doesn't work. Any of the great pizza parlors in Canada and the States all serve draft beer. Check out the North Fork Brewery and Pizza Shrine on the Mount Baker Highway. Pizza and draft beer are each given equal status. So please get beer on tap and I dont mean Molson. A good lager and a good pale ale will do. I've really enjoyed The Heritage House both times but it puts me off going knowing I wont be getting a pint with my meal. I hope this will change. Thanks
The good: Lovely establishment with excellent decor and ambience. Friendly and eager service. Reasonable wine choices and prices.
The not-do-good: This is not a place to order pizza. The crust outweighs the rest of it, though the crust WAS cooked nicely, there is insufficient sauce on the pizza making it quite dry, the toppings are meagre, and on the pizza we had, there was no mozzarella, thus making it not a pizza, IMHO. On top of that it was well overpriced. I think an attempt is being made to offer "gourmet" pizzas, an oxymoron. Their offerings belie the name Pizza Co.
There was a screen above our table showing silent movies, and throughout our dinner, people were constantly looking in our direction and laughing at Charlie Chaplin. This was quite disquieting.
If we didn't sit where we sat, and if we had ordered something other than pizza, we might have had a completely different experience. We will give it another try.
We just finished our evening at the Heritage House Pizza Co. and wanted to write a review so others that are wondering what it's like might get some insight. You can reserve a table early in the evening (they will explain that when you call) and we're glad we did because we have two small kids and we wouldn't have wanted to wait outside. Also, the wait time for the food is a little long when you order pizza and the kids needed to eat earlier than later. It's not a restaurant we would take the kids to again because there weren't small portions for them, but they were happy eating our pizza so it worked out well. We loved the atmosphere! It was dark, warm and inviting with fantastic mood lighting. We also liked the volume of the music for an intimate dinner (perhaps a little loud for a larger table). We only ordered pizza because that was what we came for. It was definitely different than any other pizza we've had and it was very tasty. We don't like gobs of toppings and the pizzas had just enough of everything so the flavours blended very well. Overall, it was a great treat to have a quality meal with very fresh ingredients and we'd go back again to try some of the other dishes. We wouldn't take the kids again (it's not worth spending that much money when they like peanut butter sandwiches as much as anything else!!) and we might think twice with a large group (the restaurant is very small). We had a table of eight and the reservation came in handy, but we wouldn't want to eat that early when it's grown-ups only. We would recommend giving the restaurant a try especially when you're tired of the same old thing around town. It was very fresh, very clean, had a great feel and the food really did taste great.
