    One of the best Greek-style pies in the city. Love the crusty cheese and the touch of Cinnamon in the sauce. I drive across the city for this pie.

    THE WORST SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER!!

    I've been a LOYAL Atlas Pizza customer for many years and I've never received such horrible, low budget customer service in my entire life.  We had some family that had just arrived from Manitoba. After a 14 hr drive, what better idea than to treat them to some of our favorite pizza right???  WRONG!  I called in to place my order for 2 extra large pizza's and I was told that it would be 45mins to 1hour. An hour and fifteen mins goes by and still no food nor did we receive a phone call to update us on the status.  Our guests (which includes an 8 year old) were growing very hungry and impatient, so I did what any waiting customer would do....i called!  As I explained our situation to the waitress, she responded by telling me that they were busy and that I'd "just have to wait." I reminded her that she had told us it would only be an hour and that we didn't even receive a courtesy call.  She replied by telling me "look, we're busy and i'm just telling you how it is." "how it is" I repeated in shock? "well I don't know what more to tell ya" she replied.  I ask to speak with a manager and before I could even finish she put me on hold....a looooong 7 min hold.  The manager finally picked up and from his tone I could already tell he was on the deffence.  "how are you doing" I asked?  "fine" he replied.  I began explaining our situation and how we'd been waiting for (now almost an hour and a half) for our pizza's.  I also indicated that we hadn't even received a courtesy call and repeated everything the waitress had said.  I guess the saying "all poor habits start from above" is true because the manager did not care! He repeated the same cryptic message as the waitress did and really WAS NOT listening.  As a customer, ALL I wanted was to be heard and perhaps, PERHAPS just a little empathy.  I got nothing.  Not even an "i'm sorry." I wasn't looking for a free pizza nor was I looking for a discount.  All I wanted was to be heard and an apology. I work in the service industry and if I spoke with a customer the way both the manager and waitress did, I'd be looking for a new job.  It's rude and inconsiderate considering it's the CUSTOMER that keeps us in business!  Am I gonna miss the food? Absolutely!  However from what I experienced this last time, I'd rather bake a Delissio.  I gave them a 1 star, but I'd give them a ZERO if the system would let me.  Low budget NE establishment = low budget service I guess.

    Did it just get manly in here? Atlas pizza is a man's pizza.This pizza doesn't mess around. This pizza's got BALLS. In fact, instead of a man flexing on the front of the box they should just have a giant pair of nuts because this is the kind of pizza that puts hair on your chest and lowers your voice by a few octaves.

    I had Atlas' pizza delivered to a networking event I was at. I had never heard of them before, so I was initially leery of this mystery pizza. That is, before the pizza jumped out of the box and roundhouse kicked my taste buds into the year 2013, post-apocalypse. All that I saw was molten lava and dead bodies.

    What makes this pizza so manly? Well imagine the girliest pizza you can - thin, dainty, ornate. Now, reverse that, blow your own mind and imagine the manliest pizza you can. A thick bad boy with toppings piled high and more cheese than you should be able to comfortably digest. When you pick it up, your arms get a little work out. Be prepared - you're going to get a thin layer of grease on your hands - as if you'd been repairing a tank or something. Just roll with it.

    I ravenously devoured many flavors of pizza - Hawaiian, Pepperoni, Vegetarian and some other flavor that I can't even recall because by that point I was so full of testosterone I was sucker punching innocent bystanders for no good reason. The portions are large enough to feed a small army of hungry, sweat drenched coal mill workers.

    This is the kind of pizza that you eat after a day spent doing push ups and flexing. This is the kind of pizza that probably comes delivered via Harley Davidson. This is the kind of pizza that the great men of history would have demanded after building the pyramids and charting the high seas.

    I ate this pizza until the laws of physics deemed it impossible to cram any more pizza into my body without spontaneously combusting.

    Ladies, you CAN eat this pizza too. Just don't be horrified if you start sprouting a little bit of a beard and suddenly get an urge to play Call of Duty.

    For best effect, pair with beer. Any beer. Preferably, pour beer from a keg and crush the cup when you're done. Wear flannel and jeans you don't mind rubbing your hands on - because napkins are for wussy babies.

    And for heaven's sake, finish your crust. If you defile this pizza by throwing the crust away you deserve to be punted so hard in the nether regions that you feel it in your nostrils.

    I give this pizza four biceps out of a possible 5.

    The pizza reminded me of the stuff I used to get in the pub back home in small town Alberta. Nothing fancy with the toppings, just 33 variations of cheese, onion, mushroom, pineapple, pepperoni, tomato, green pepper beef, ham-you know, the way North American pizza used to be. An Italian sausage or Greek pizza are about as out there as you'll get here. And it's pretty gosh darn tootin' tasty.

    The bar itself is big, there's plenty of room and lots of TVs for you to catch some of that there playoff action. Caesars are on special ($3.95) on Thursdays, combine that with happy hour until 7 and you've got yourself a decent little hang out for the first half of the night.

    The absolutely best pizza in Calgary. I like their Hawaiian, and loaded pizzas. They put a ton of toppings on their pizzas, so generally one large is filling enough for a family. It is best to order delivery from them, as the actual location is a sports bar, and can be a little seedy.

    The only downside is that it is a little expensive though with so many other cheaper options.

    The pizza here is legendary. Great Greek-style pizza that's delicious and filling.

    To be honest, I've never eaten anything here *but* the pizza (except for the zucchini sticks as an appie which also make the cut) but if it's anything like the pizza, I'm sure it's great.

    Atlas also has a decent selection of beer (don't look for anything out of the ordinary) wine and spirits (including some Greek ones I haven't seen elsewhere).

    It's probably also the least in-your-face sports bar I can think of. Tons of TVs, all showing different games and sports but without the dull roar of the sattelite feed drowning out your conversation.

    If you're in, or close to the NE, Atlas makes a great "something for everyone" kind of spot.

    This place has the most delicious pizza ever, and at an affordable rate!!!
    They've literally been around FOREVER (my mom celebrated her 18th bday there 30 years ago and I celebrated mine there last year!) And the pizza hasnt changed!
    They also serve a wide variety of drinks and other foods, yet again at an affordable rate!
    Not the type of place you would want to get all fancy and dressed up for to go on a first date... Much more of a take-out scenario! But still absolutely worth going in to get!

    The pizza is extraordinary; they are very generous with the toppings and especially the cheese. Order beer, don't order the wine. If you want to hang out to watch a game or shoot pool, do it in the afternoon or early evening.

    Best darn pizza around. I love the way they have a nice thick layer of cheese on top of generous toppings, and how they make the top of the cheese crunch and golden. We always order the #3 - mushrooms, peperoni & green peppers. This pizza is too good --- i have to brainwash myself NOT to order it too often!

    I've been going to this place for over 20 years. Nothing in town compares to it. Great place for pizza. Lots of topping choices. They're very little liberal on the cheese and taste great. Decor/ ambiance needs some work but hey its a sports bar so no dress code needed. Highly recommended, reasonable prices too. I've introduced this to my gf and she loves it.
