Review from Andrew G.

I have worked in several different locations all around Calgary and I find the same thing happening time and time again. Lunch consists of the same stuff every day and it all just becomes too played out for existence. But with this great little pizza spot I've seen the light! I could eat off of there menu day after day and it still doesn't feel played out.
The service always comes with a smile and I'm very rarely left waiting for my order. The pizza is top notch for a quick order pizza joint and i have yet to be disappointed by the flavors in any of the countless choices.
I've seen a lot of fellow Yelpers criticizing them for placing religious stories on the inside of the box. Now I'll be the first to tell you how very non-religious I am, so should I be offended that somebody wants to write a religious story on my pizza box?! HOGWASH! Its like somebody being offended that another wrote about a food that they're allergic to. If it would really ruin your day to read something religious while you enjoy one of the best quick order pizzas out there, then just don't read it!
All in all I will be returning there over and over again till I've carb loaded myself into a delicious pizza coma..and I'd recommend everyone does the same!
Cheers and happy Yelping!! -

I actually went to the Kingsland Farmer's Market location but I'm too lazy to add it to the list. "Tsk tsk Heather, half a job" - my Dad whenever I'm 'too lazy' to do something.
So I work in marketing and I've done the occasional naming exercise, whether for products, or lines of business, or even businesses themselves. Before I found out that Coco Brooks was a pizza place here's what I might have said....
Hmmm....Coco...maybe they sell coconuts? Or chocolate? Or strippers? Oh, well then there's Brooks in there confusing me....I know Brooks is a sporting goods store but that doesn't seem to fit with Coco. Maybe it's a brook like a river, or it IS a last name, but I didn't think that strippers even had last names.
NEVER in my wildest dreams would I have thought it was a pizza place. And, never would I have guessed that they would use the packaging on their pizza to attempt to impart godly wisdom upon pizza eaters.
I bought 2 pizzas, the Big Al's (aka meat frenzy) on a traditional crust and the Sicilian on a gluten-free crust. Now, I'm not a scientist (marketing, remember?) but I do understand proper experimental design. And originally I thought I should probably cook both at once and evaluate them side by side. Well, I was too lazy to do that so I enjoyed them on different days. (Tsk, tsk.)
Big Al's - Fantastic pizza. Guilty pleasure pizza. Maybe there's religious stuff on the box because you're likely to feel guilty after eating it. Whatever. You can put whatever you want on the box as long as long as that's as far as it goes. I had to restrain myself against eating the whole thing. (I should be clear here that while this is a tasty pizza, it's not high quality ingredients that make it tasty, it's the fat and carbs working their magic on your wired-for-survival, evolutionary-slow-to-change brain - sorry creationists.)
Gluten Free Sicilian - Horrible. I've had many GF pizza crusts before and this is an awful crust supporting an even worse cast of toppings. I ate one piece and the rest is still in my fridge.
Final thoughts - don't get confused by the name like I did - this is a PIZZA place. -

Decent pizza, but too much religious crap!
Coco Brooks makes a good Greek-style pizza, but you have to be careful what you get because the "pepperoni" is sliced from very low-grade pepperoni sticks, and it tastes like hot dogs hahah! Also, I can't stand all of the religious crap printed on their boxes and stuff... stop pushing your silly creation myth on me already!Listed in: Best Pizza

I came to this location for lunch. No problem finding parking or seating, granted we arrived after the noon-ish rush. There's ample seating for those who want to dine in. One thing I found was that while waiting for my pizza, I was always in the way of someone... either trying to reach the drink/supplies on the right-hand side, or people delivering/picking up pizzas, or waiting to order.
Coco Brooks pizza is good. Not great, not amazing. I know a lot of people think it's to die for, but I still wouldn't go out of my way to grab some if there was something else available. Sorry! :) -

I've dined in once at this location and today I had take-out. Can pizza be light and fluffy? That's what comes to mind with the four personal sized pizza's my two friends and I sampled. We had Pepperoni Mushroom, Italian Sausage, Mexican and BBQ Chicken. It was all good and I noted that the Mexican was particularly spicy, which I enjoyed. The pizza is somewhat greasy but it also stayed quite hot for a long time.
To be honest, I could easily mow through at least one personal pizza by myself if I'm hungry and could probably eat close to two if I wanted to get ridiculous. I try not to eat pizza often but was reminded that the prices seem reasonable. -

The best place in Calgary for a pizza lunch. Their selections are great, their staff is friendly, and the seating area is always clean. I think their only fault is that there isn't enough parking for the business lunch crowd during the week.
