A couple of folks from my frisbee team suggested we head to Cafe 22 after our playoff game. The draw: cheap drinks and delicious pizza. For a dozen or so hungry players, that was music to our ears.
Cafe 22 was not what I expected. I figured we…More »
Famoso is not your typical Canadian pizza joint. Seriously. As the name suggests, it's a Neapolitan pizzeria. Be prepared for pizza unlike what you're used to (unless you usually eat Italian style pizza).
What's different? Well, the crust first…More »
Niko's has opened up where Fat Tony's used to be and it reminds me of the pizza place back in the small town I grew up in. Greasy, cheesy goodness.
Niko's has a few different pizzas on it's menu. You'll find The Classics (plain cheese, pepperoni only,…More »
*dive bar alert* And yes I'm giving it 4 stars. Why? Because you'll get an experience at Poco Loco's like nowhere else in the city. Not even Ducky's.
Besides having ridiculously good pizza, Poco's is host to karaoke night. I'm not sure if they're…More »
I'm torn. Really I am. I'm torn between the pizza for which I would've given 5 stars and the establishment. Wild Rose Pub is not the lovely brewery most Calgarians know, it's actually a little hole-in-the-wall pub in the Northeast. I yelpened (like…More »
Om nom nom nom nom! P is for pizza, it's good enough for me. Like Cookie Monster's love of cookies, I am fast developing an even deeper love of all things pizza (and must remind myself that pizza is a "sometimes food").
Might I say, this pizza spot is…More »
Coco Brooks... the way I figure personal-sized pizzas are meant to be. There's no full-size here, but there are a myriad of terrific toppings to be had on. My favourite? The Mile High. It's one club that's easy to be a part of.
As an order out option,…More »
A little on the top... a little on the bottom. Hop In Brew continues to be a steady fave when I'm in need of a brew with some buds.
From Festivus with the yelpers in December to meetups and just popping in for a pint and some pizza, it has its own…More »
Hop in Brew... oh Hop in Brew, how can I not love your little pub in a house? Upstairs and down,… Read more »
I love it. Love love love it. You wouldn't think this spot would be nearly as awesome as it is just by walking by it. Even coming up the stairs, I didn't know I'd be walking into such a spacious room-high ceilings, wooden floor, great lighting. It…More »
Alright, first visit down to Giuseppe's. How many more to go? I'm not sure, but I liked it enough that I'll be headed back.
A restaurant upstairs, and a market on the main level, Giuseppe's has a fun and casz style to it. We stopped in for a quick…More »
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…More »
Dear server, did you really just wrap my olives in saran wrap and bring them back to the table for me to take home? Yeah ya did! And with a goofy, helpful smile on your face. "We didn't have any boxes that small," you replied with a slight shrug.…More »
Another visit to Toque, and another positive experience. Previous places in this location have suffered the ill fate of no customers whenever I've gone in. Whatever Toque is doing, they're doing it right.
Today I tried out a new pizza they've got…More »
There have been a couple of bars preceding Toque's in this location since I've moved into the area a… Read more »
Mamma Mia! Itza new pizzeria! This stretch of 12th Ave is starting to get some really cute little businesses.
I was wandering around looking for dinner and noticed the sign for Gaga Pizzeria glowing red across the dark street. "Hmmm, I wonder how long…More »
