Specializing in wood-fired gourmet pizzas that boast a delightfully thin, crispy crust, Gotcha Cafe Pizzeria elevates a simple Margherita into an art form.

Loved this place the minute I walked in. Great outdoor seated area under the trees. Friendly staff, excellent service. As of the pizzas are next level tasty. I love a wood-fired thin crusted base and this is exactly what you get. Generous portion of toppings without overdoing it. Great vibe on a Friday afternoon.

Had our 1st meal at Gotcha Cafe Pizzeria. Staff friendly, good variety of meals. Prices reasonable. Sangria the best I've enjoyed by far. Pizzas were delicious. Will most certainly return. Can recommend it.

It should be illegal for pizza to taste this good. Best pizza I've had in a very long time.

I love the location, almost feels like you're eating a delicious pizza in someone's backyard. I ordered the polo gourmet pizza. Crust is nice and crispy, flavor is good. Definitely need to go back and try the other ones. Not completely blown away by the flavor but it's still a very good

My friend and I landed up in this Linden Gem by mistake looking for another place to have a bite. We didn't regret stopping here at all. Dylan thank you so much for your excellent service, we were well fed, the atmosphere was pleasant and warm. Hope everyone experiences this place like we did. Thank you Gotcha, see you soon.

Had a lovely evening at Gotcha Cafe Pizzeria. Pizza are made in wood fire oven and they are not stingy with the toppings no matter which one you order. When you order multiple pizza’s you also get a free Magarita pizza and the staff are all very friendly!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is really comfortable and cozy, the milkshakes were really good! The pizza was outstanding, there was so much flavour and so much toppings, usually pizza's now a days lack toppings but there was plenty. Absolutely delicious. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. I would recommend for a family outing. Well done
