Fresh Salads

Simple. Made Right. Full of Flavour.

Available in Small ($7), Medium ($12), and Large ($17)

Fresh greens, quality ingredients, and house-made dressings crafted from scratch. Whether you're pairing one with a pizza or enjoying a lighter meal, our salads are built with the same care as everything else on the menu.

Corfu Salad

Spring greens, green pepper, red onion, Kalamata olives, and feta, all tossed in a tangy balsamic vinaigrette. Mediterranean bliss in a bowl.

Simply Salad

Spring greens, house-made croutons, and fresh Parmigiano Reggiano, lightly tossed in a lemon garlic vinaigrette. Simple ingredients, done right.

Caesar Salad

Crisp romaine, creamy house-made dressing, Parmigiano Reggiano, and handmade croutons—a fresh, flavourful take on a classic.

Why Our Salads?

We make our dressings from scratch, use quality olive oils, and believe salads deserve the same attention as pizza.

Because great ingredients don't stop at the crust.

House-Made Dips & Aiolis

Don't Skip The Dips

Individual Dips & Aioli's — $2.25 each

Pomodoro

Our house tomato sauce. Simple, bright, and packed with fresh tomato flavour.

Honey

Golden, gooey honey sweetness you can dip into.

Big Red

Our rich Pomodoro, spiked with just the right amount of fire.

Chipotle Aioli

Smoky, spicy, and irresistibly creamy. Chipotle aioli done right.

Danger

Lemon Dill Aioli

A fresh blend of lemon and dill. Creamy, cool, and bright enough to wake up any slice.

Roasted Garlic Aioli

Dip Flight — $7.50

Pick any four.

Creamy, tangy, spicy, or somewhere in between.

 Drinks

Good pizza deserves something good to drink.

From cold craft sodas and local ciders to thoughtful wines, well-chosen beer, espresso, and tea, our drink menu is built to pair with pizza and keep the conversation going.

Cold Drinks

Craft sodas, sparkling water, juices, Italian soft drinks, and non-alcoholic options. Cold, refreshing, and ready for pizza.

Beer

Cold, well-chosen beer that actually works with pizza. Clean lagers, pilsners, local favourites, and other food-friendly options.

Wine

A thoughtful wine list built around food. Some bottles are natural, some are classic, all are chosen because they taste great at the table.

Ciders & Seltzers

Light, crisp, and dangerously easy to drink. Ciders and seltzers for when you want something bright, cold, and refreshing.

Hot Drinks

Coffee, tea, espresso, cappuccino, and lattes. Hot, strong, and here to keep things civilized.

Our Story

Pizza That Never Played By The Rules

When Night Kitchen opened in the summer of 1999, the goal wasn't simply to create another neighbourhood pizzeria. We wanted to build a place where quality ingredients, creativity, and a willingness to challenge convention could come together around great food.

What started in a tiny hole-in-the-wall on a shoestring budget has grown into one of Peterborough's most distinctive dining experiences. Along the way we've remained independently owned, stubbornly committed to quality, and passionate about doing things our own way.

Why Night Kitchen?

From the beginning, we believed pizza could be more than pepperoni and mushrooms.

While others followed the rules, we experimented with local ingredients, global flavours, vegan options, gluten-free options, natural wines, and combinations that some people thought didn't belong on pizza at all.

Some ideas worked immediately. Others took time. But the philosophy has remained the same:

Taste matters. Quality matters. Creativity matters.

Our motto has long been:

Be Strong. Be Wrong.

Not because we enjoy being wrong, but because trying new things means occasionally taking risks. That's how great food evolves.

More Than Pizza

Night Kitchen has always been about more than what's coming out of the oven.

It's about the farmers who grow the food, the winemakers and brewers who fill our glasses, the coffee roasters who keep us going, the staff who bring energy to every shift, and the customers who have supported us for more than two decades.

We're proud to work with local producers, passionate craftspeople, and a growing network of collaborators and co-conspirators who share our values.

Still Going Strong

More than 25 years later, we're still making pizza by hand. We're still searching for great ingredients. We're still finding new ways to surprise ourselves and our customers.

Some things have changed since 1999.

The commitment to great food hasn't.

Whether you're joining us for a quick slice, a bottle of wine with friends, takeout on a busy night, or catering for a special event, we're grateful you've chosen to spend some time with us.

Thank you for being part of the story.

A hidden gem in ptbo. This original pizzeria is one of a kind and definitely worth a stop for their large selection of toppings, fresh dips and a killer thin crust. They also do vegan.
