One of my favourite places on the west side and i am so happy they’re part of the junction constantly improving food/ drink roster. Friendly staff and you must try the donuts. Best chocolate donuts I’ve ever had! They only make so many so get them early. Pizzas are great. Fries was bit burnt the couple of times I was there. Will definitely go back without the kids so we can try more of their 30 beers on tap.
Excellent experience all the way around. Food was delicious, brought home donuts and scones that were amazing. Loved the music too - actual albums from the 70s/80s. Waiter was on his own and service was still fabulous. Definitely recommend.
One of those places that makes it so great to live in this neighbourhood!! Incredible staff likely because the owner is such a nice guy and the best bagels outside of Montreal :… probably shouldn’t write a review because I’d hate for them to be sold out every day but somehow this morning at 9am I was wishing they were open so I could grab bagels for my sleeping family and felt I had to :… Thanks for being such a great spot!!!
Vintage! Had the eggplant pizza. It was very delectable. Excellent service.Recommended dishesRicotta Eggplant Pizza
Amazing spot! This place is from the good people who brought you Hole in the Wall, so you know their street cred is on point. Similar style visually to the Hole but on a much larger scale. They have these cool little alcoves right by the front windows that are cozy as hell! At the back is an amazing open view of the kitchen and a massive pizza oven. Just like the Hole, there are plenty of great food and drink options but I need to make special mention of the pizza. The pizza is the real deal. Right there in style and quality as the big names like Libretto and Defina. Trust me, you’re going to want to make this your pizza place. I absolutely will be back!
Soon after The Junction became our home, Botham’s became a steady presence in our lives. While lockdown restrictions limit their ability to deliver on their full potential, we can say for certain that they’ve “made the pivot” and are killing it nonetheless. The Sunday roast beef special is absolutely to-die-for. Generous servings of succulent, tender medium-rare roast beef accompanied by a killer Yorkshire pudding, insanely delicious roasted potatoes, three kinds of roasted veggies and an absolutely off-the-charts wine gravy and always a surprise dessert make this a steal of a deal at $60 +HST. It’s worth noting that the roasted potatoes were some of the best we’ve EVER had. They had this insanely crispy texture to them that was oh so very addictive. We’re considering ordering just the potatoes and eating a whole tray. This has us very curious about their Saturday fire roasted chicken dinner for $45. We’ve not had it yet, but we’re gonna - and we know it’s gonna be great! Their wood-fired sourdough crust pizzas are some of the best we’ve had in Toronto. Great sauce, high quality toppings and a perfectly fired sourdough crust keep us coming back for more. And the two for $25 special Mondays - Wednesdays always makes us feel like we’ve committed theft whenever we take those home! Because we’re trying to control ourselves these days we always have leftover pizza for breakfast, and it’s equally delicious the next day either at room temperature or gently warmed over. The pepperoni pizza has superb meat and cheese. Their Arugula and Cherry Tomato pizza with sundried tomatoes is amazingly fresh tasting and perfect for a Spring/Summer mid-day meal. On top of these hot dinner options they have a well stocked, creatively curated and reasonably priced market. We’ve tried a number of the products and everything has been first rate. Some highlights include: pre-prepared frozen pizza that’s ready to eat after 15 minutes in a 450F oven - way better than anything we’ve gotten from a grocery market; superb beef broth; delicious hickory smoked BBQ sauce - we love it on chicken and ribs ; potted cheese OMG!! - great on a bagel; and, frozen cookie dough OMG x 2!. Throw in a small but really well thought out bottle shop - and delicious pre-mixed cocktails get the Negroni - trust us on this one - and you have everything you need to help lift the lockdown blues. Oh, we just about forgot: to top it all off they make absolutely first rate, wood-fired sourdough bread, and scrumpdillyicious baked goodies like doughnuts including doughnut holes! and cinnamon buns. What more could you ask for?
I wanted to share my experience. I had a terrible Ubereats driver originally who had delivered my Margherita pizza at my door upside down and had torn off all the cheese. Bothams immediately had their Chef Diego make me a brand new one and even hand delivered it to my building! I must say that they’re amazing to try and authentic given that they’re a junction must! I have to give Diego a personal thanks for being so kind and coming over to deliver this. I will definitely pickup in the future and not use Uber Eats. To anyone living in the junction, definitely try Botham’s! I will definitely come back and I also wanted to mention the taste of sourdough in the pizza is excellent! As someone who makes sourdough at home, I can taste the difference and this was !
This is an amazing spot, welcome to the neighbourhood Botham’s! The margherita pizza was perfect. Thin, crispy crust with simple and flavourful toppings. Very reasonable prices for the area. Quite busy for having just opened and not having a website. Will definitely be back.
We've come here a few times since moving to the neighbourhood, and each time enjoyed our visit. Service is always friendly, and they have a great playlist. Good selection of craft beers on tap, great fish and chips, and some solid pizza. The two pizza for $25 deal they run early in the week is such a fantastic deal too. Go here!
Hey Bothams. Just ordered a Vegetarian dish from you guys "Gnocchi with truffle cream sauce" and this is what you sent me. Soggy Gnocchi with a regular meat sauce. Good job.
