    More toppings doesn't always mean a better pizza, but I think it does at Vogglio.  They really load it up.  I tried a thin crust Chaparral last night (chorizo sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, oregano).  It was covered in sausage and was all the better for it.

    I'll probably try a more unique set of toppings next time, but I don't think this place is getting by on offering interesting pizza, because the traditional one I had was great.

    I've had some OUTSTANDING pizzas here, and also some pretty terrible pies. Things were great when Luis was making the pies, but then he hired some kids to do it and things really went downhill after that. If Luis happens to be making the pies when you order, it will be excellent, but if someone else makes it it could be pretty "meh." I haven't ordered here in some time, due to this inconsistency and I'm not sure what kind of quality I'll be getting.
    The mexican pizza there is the BOMB though!!!

    I don't know. I came back even though I got a weird $80 credit card charge from them one night in 2009 when I recall paying $20 or so. I ended up getting a full refund, so I was willing to try this place again so I can get another free pizza after I report the discrepancy to my credit card company.

    I was told 40 minutes for pickup, I show up after 45, they say they need another 10. K whatever. I get some pie with avocado and n other toppings. And a Hawaiian. The ingredients were good. I suspect they used "fresh" (ie: non canned) pineapple. They went really cheap on the cheese. The sauce was alright. The crust I take issue with. The original crust was not  crust. More like thin crispy flat bread. Definitely was not pizza crust. Too crispy. It was like eating a tostada. Tostadas are great, but not when I order a pizza. Meh. Not worth the $30 I paid. And the request for tip on the credit card machine during this pick up transaction was just tacky.

    Uptown doesn't really have much for pizza.

    Unusual flavours, fresh pizza and three different kinds of crusts, you can't go wrong at Vogglio.

    I walked in for a Friday night treat. Fernando recommended I try the Mexicana. After I agreed to order a small, he adds " you can get one more for 50% off" with a little wink. How could I resist? The Fantasia got added onto my order.

    Fernando told me to come back in 25 minutes to get my pizza. He took down my cell just in case. 30 minutes later my phone rings "Wendy, it's more than 25 minutes. Your pizzas are ready!" A reminder to make sure I get 'em while they're fresh-now that's service.

    Two small thin crust pizzas for around $25. The Mexicana was delicious. I think I might go without the shrimp on The Fantasia next time. Either way, Fernando, you've got a pizza fan in me.

    I'm not usually a huge fan of pizza. I don't get what the big deal is about a greasy triangle of bread slathered in tomato pulp and processed cheese, but I won't begrudge anyone for being a fan of it.

    Vogglio's, however, is damn near good enough to change my opinion. There are a large variety of pizzas here, and they load them up with generous toppings. There is really something for everyone, options include fresh broccoli (I have a bit of a broccoli fetish, so this is near-heaven for me), shrimp, and a variety of meats. They even offer a pizza topped with Prunes and Bacon, which I refuse to eat or serve to any guest who may later be using my restroom, but please feel free to try it and let me know.

    The prices and wait times here are a little higher than normal, but for the love of God, it's worth it.

    First off, this place isn't Mexican, it's Columbian (as the large number of Columbian flags would probably indicate).

    This tiny mom and pop (literally a husband and wife team) pizza place serves some of the best and unique pizza in town. ex. the Fruit Fiesta.

    There's also solid more traditonal choices as well.

    The most important thing about Vogglio D'Pizza is the crust. Know what you want. There's everything from paper thin New York style thin crust to brick like thick crust.

    The thick crust usually only takes one to two slices to fill most people and is great for a moving party.

    Since it's a two person operation be prepared to wait a little longer than usual. ex. if they say it will be ready in 25 minutes, it will actually be ready in 35. but the quality and unique choices make it worth it.

    One of my favourite pizzas in town. Interesting creations. Passionate pie maker. Try the Southern.

    I heard great things about Vogglio, for example "it is the best pizza in Calgary".  However, my hopes were too high and I was let down. While it was a perfectly good pizza, it was nothing special.  I would never go out of my way to go get a slice.

    Voggio, along with Pizza Bob's, is the absolute best pizza in Calgary.  Fresh high-quality ingredients with a traditional thin-crust.

    Try a thin-crust pizza with bacon, spicy chorizo sausage, prunes, pineapple, jalapenos and fresh tomato.  You won't regret it!

    The Mexicana pizza is amazing and the rest of the menu is also pretty original. I wouldn't come here to get normal flavors. My major complaints are the prices and the wait time
