Review from Matthew L.

I had been hesitant to try Royal Pizza, despite its relative proximity to my house. As I was expecting a only a slight improvement over the standard delivery variety, the costs deterred me.
But as I had yet to find a crave-worthy pizza for delivery here in Edmonton, I decided to give Royal Pizza a call. Yelp reviews were positive and there's always a crowd inside.
So I ordered a large pizza with Broccoli, Pineapple, and Mushrooms, along with an order of Garlic Cheese toast, because Sarah and I were just that hungry.
And a half an hour later - the pizza arrived - on a Friday night no less. While the bill set me back $38 including tax and tip, we had leftovers, which usually does not happen with Pizza Hut.
Royal Pizza's crust is the star - it's thick (probably about 1/2 inch), dense, perfectly seasoned, filling, homemade, and didn't come from a frozen ball. And to top it off, it holds up well when delivered.
My only complaint was the lack of flavour in the pineapple, but that's a small one.
And while the prices may be high, I think I'm going to make Royal Pizza my default pizza delivery option. -
Review from Aditya R.
All these years I've been falling out of love with greasy American pizzas and here we go again, with Royal Pizza. Don't get me wrong though. Royal actually has some very delicious pizzas. I like that they also have pastas (mainly in spaghetti form) and some accompaniments to go with their pizza.
So, let's start with the crust. The fact that the crust is thick and crispy gives for a delicious and crunchy bite into the pizza. Their crust is again old school and perhaps not the healthiest, but certainly enjoyable on the grease adventure that all humans subtend to, every now and then. Next, we have a look at the sauce, cheese and toppings. I like the taste of every bite and I appreciate that they have a decent serving of sauce on them. The pizzas are nice and cheesy too, while the toppings are also generously applied.
Let's make one thing clear:
ROYAL PIZZAS ARE THE BEST PIZZAS TO EAT OUTTA THE REFRIGERATOR.
Their gourmet pizzas are a fine list and definitely give panago and other chains a run for their money. However, talking about money. The pizzas here are unusually expensive. A medium (10") gourmet pizza is $20 which certainly isn't the case with Pizza Hut or even Panago. I guess their pizzas are quite delicious and I would pay the extra bucks every now and then but it makes me feel like it's something I would do only on a special occasion, like having a girl over for movie night or something (yes, I'm a cheap guy).
I don't like that they're so expensive when they're really just like a pizza chain. It's not like they serve organic pizzas or some form of exquisite pizzas that aren't found anywhere else. To make a clear comparison, their 10" gourmet pizzas are comparable to a pizza + salad at da Capo (near Garneau).Listed in: Let's get take out tonight

I'm not a pizza lover, but I love Royal Pizza. I will admit that I personally choose not to eat the pizza itself, but I do enjoy quite a few other things on the menu. I prefer the pasta as well as many side dishes here to the same stuff at many other Western "a bit of everything" restaurants.
The place is comfortable and chill, and open fairly late. I bring people here all the time and have always had good feedback. The staff are friendly and the service is efficient. I have never had a bad experience at this location. -

I have to confess that I have a soft spot for Royal Pizza and this location in particular. It made the first pizza I ever ate.
This is old style pizzeria pizza. Make no mistake, pizzerias like this are totally a North American phenomenon, not Italian at all, and they've developed their own kind of Italian cuisine. There is a noticeable difference between pizzas made here than those made by Pizza Hut, Boston Pizza and Panago. They make their own dough and have a great tangy roma tomato sauce. Best of all, they use quality ingredients for their toppings: fresh mushrooms, cured ham, pepperoni with zing and crumbly italian sausage. It's also thick crust mediterranean style pizza, which is much more common here than Italian/New York thin crust, not Chicago deep dish but definately substantial.
I'd also recommend their pasta dishes. It's pizzeria pasta, not tratoria, so pitch your expectations accordingly. Their spaghetti and meatballs, however, baked in cheese, is just comfort food goodness.
This is a good family restaurant. Admittedly, you pay a little more for quality food, but it's hard to beat the friendly atmosphere and just eating in a pizzeria. -

Royal Pizza is a great place for pizza lovers! I happen to be one myself!
If you like quality pizza and don't mind paying for that quality, you have to try Royal Pizza. It is yum yum yummy goodness!
Royal Pizza is one of the few family non-chain restaurants left in our city. I always prefer to support the local businesses over the huge monopolies.
Another great thing about Royal Pizza is the room. They have a lot of seating so even when it's busy, you aren't cramped and uncomfortable. In fact, it's a very comfortable place to eat. The only thing I'm not really fond of is the lighting. It's pretty low. Some people like a darker eating atmosphere, but I'm just not one of them.
Quality pizza. All pizza lovers must try it! -
