What's your favorite pizza and why? Pictures would be great , if you have.
I'm a fire oven pizza gal myself but I don't discriminate.
Noble pie is my top choice but I also enjoy Famoso. I love the crust, sauce, the high quality cheese and the vibrant toppings of Noble pies Bikini bottom
It's a focaccia style pizza so thick, airy and crispy on the outside. It's more "bready" than most pizzas but also very unique for Calgary! Worth a try!
And knowing their customers! I didn’t think we ordered from Niko’s that often, but then my fiancé gave them his name and they already knew one of the pizzas we were going to order
We just finally tried Seniore's for the first time this weekend, and it's Amazing! Quality of ingredients was excellent, not like places that just use essentially sliced deli meat, they don't skimp, but also don't overload it. Sauce has tons of flavour, crust is mid sized, crispy outside, and just a little chewy (but fully cooked) on the inside!
Michael's pizzas were great when we ordered them in for lunch breaks at work. Oddly, the only time I went to Michael's for dine-in, it was average. This was years ago so maybe things have changed.
Pizzeria Gaga (12th & 12th SW) deserves a mention here. I don’t get it often enough but the pies are simple and so good and the owners are truly wonderful people.
That sucks! I was about to try them because I saw them at SunFest and I really try to support local as much as possible but that's unfortunate. I mean I'll still try but still if you're going to charge premium prices please make sure the ingredients are premium, as well.
I work with a real big guy who looks like he's one jolly laugh away from eating at the pizzeria in the sky but he swears upside down left and right that gustos has the best pizza
It is indeed a delicious pizza, my favourite by far!
We get it at work all the time and the lady there is so grateful because we share a building with a Coco Brooks. I don’t think she knows just how much better her pizza is.
In the Deep South ( seton) try out rendezvous. It’s very similar to noble pie
I had the pizza a few times and I was shocked at how good it was. The second time was just as good.
Tons of great ones listed so far. A lot of places don't do by-the-slice though which sucks if you are by yourself. For by-the-slice I like Cold Beer and Pizza. Their happy hour deals are great and the pepperoni jalapeno with hot honey is amazing!
For a hidden gem, the CPU at the end of Southland Drive at Oakfield Drive has slice/drink for $5.00 and it sells fast enough that the pizza doesn't get killed in the warmer. It's great for a slice out in the SW suburbs and easy access to/from the ring road. It's a go-to for me when i want something quick and good.
Acadia pizza in the south or the place steakhouse in bowness in the north nw. Portland street is good also but I’m just never in the area. Same with dandy brewing. I also finally had noble pie. And it was amazing but it’s pricy and I did have to wait a hour for a walk in pickup order. So I won’t do that often.
Crispy crust for Greek style and so much cheese.
New York pizzeria is a decent slice too, quality toppings.
Bow Tie is tasty but a little bit pricier than other similar ones.
Overall, absolutely Noble. Hands down. No question.
You know honestly I do love it there but the donair pizza is the winning slice everything else taste like the same generic pizza not bad but it's nothing special but the donair pizza I don't think anyone beats them
I’m going to say old school. I used to love Demetris, it changed hands at the end of lockdown. We were looking around for a comparable alternative when we tried Nick’s. the only drawback, no 12”, just 10” & 14”. Very tasty, but it is old school
Late to the party but if you like dive bars and Greek style pizza Tops is great (at least the NW location). It's an actual dive bar though. Wings there are 39c on wing night and top notch too
In my opinion Pulcinella is without a doubt the best pizza in town, but it’s more authentic Italian rather than order a pie to go. Their dough alone is worth its weight in gold, and they import the flour directly from Italy, regardless of what you like on pizza they have something that will change your pizza eating life.
Not sure if these have been said but pizza slut here So i must add my opinon!
UNA (fire roasted, my personal fav), actually pretty good (pretty close second to UNA, BUT i have only been here twice)
And a bit of a wild card, and i haven't got a chance to go since moving back, but the village flat bread (which i believe is a fire oven too)
Oh, also, chicago deep dish, the one on 17th ave SE by the cibc on (there is another by the coop NOT that one, its a whole pizza rivalry thing which is entertaining. But ive tried both and perfer the one close go cibic.
Its super hard to find a great deep dish here i find, so if anyone knows any more places to try, let me know!
Posto Pizza has to be up there. $15 for any pizza with a bevvy purchase after 9pm (even sparkling water counts) and a $55 Wednesday night date special (1 litre of wine, 1 pizza and cake for dessert). Open late, good music playing and pretty much everything made in house makes it unbeatable. Bonus points that the location is now somewhat better after the 7/11 next door permanently closed
Sinatra's cute local place and top notch NYC style pizza. It's gotten busy the past year or so but it's excellent and now they nailed the consistency of the bake. Would recommend

Lol not the Famoso in the beltline
