1. Via Tevere
Vancouver, BC V5L 4G5
(604) 336-1803
We arrived early enough to find a seat, although the place filled up fast. We ordered two beverages, two salads and a pie.
I always like to go with the Capriciossa (prosciutto, artichokes, olives salami, and mushrooms) as that has become my pizza…More »
2. Pizza Hut
It's hilarious that I'm the first to review this place. I might talk about how well I know pizza and then I go and order from...Pizza Hut?
But seriously, if you need quick, fast, yummy, fatty deep-pan pizza, this is the go to place. It's not the…More »
3. Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X6
(604) 251-2292
We finally were able to try this place out after a soft opening and private party night prevented us.
This is my new favourite "casual" pizza place in town. (Please not that Campagnolo and Campagnolo Roma are still the best in the city--but a bit…More »
4. The Bibo
Worst service for what was meant to be a casual anniversary dinner. (And yes, we tried La Quercia first; another time, another reso!)
The Don Draperesque waiter was certainly not a welcoming comfort to this place. I can't believe I wanted to go here…More »
5. Pizzeria Barbarella
Totally delicious pizza that's almost a five star! Everything we had was great. The crust was slightly thicker than those of the recent Neapolitan craze which wasn't a bad thing at all. The texture almost seemed reminiscent of a NY pizza-by-the-slice…More »
6. Campagnolo Roma
Vancouver, BC V5L 1V2
(604) 569-0456
Enjoyed CR again last night on the patio, on what was probably one of our last patio nights of the summer. They had blankets which was great since there are no heat lamps. Just watch that you get one without hair on it. Why do I always get the one…More »

7. Campagnolo
Vancouver, BC V6A
(604) 484-6018
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
Went here for the umpteenth time the other night, without a reso, and after the early movie. Were seated in the best seat in the house--with the "view" (as the host politely and humorously noted). No wait time! Yay!
Ate the pizza, the pasta and a…More »

This is one of my fave. places in the city right now. Go for any pie or pasta and the beet salad is… Read more »
8. Nicli Antica Pizzeria
Vancouver, BC V6A 1K3
(604) 669-6985
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Gastown
As an ex-NY'er, I know my pizza and Vancouver has been seriously lacking in this dep't for awhile (as it is with so many other cuisines here). But that's another story.
This is more like a 3.5 but I give a 4 for the service. I was really excited…More »
9. Verace Pizzeria Napoletana and Enoteca
Vancouver, BC V6B 6L4
(604) 669-5552
This was a delightful little place to visit for a casual pizza. It was in the middle of the Keefer piazza, just like a real Italian piazza--sans the Tivoli Fountain and loads of pigeons (which was probably a good thing). Parking was easy and…More »
10. Libra Room Café
Vancouver, BC V5L 3Y4
(604) 255-3787
I always forget to make a reso., and you can't do so upon your arrival. (Fair enough).
So, you start out, standing at the back, almost in the kitchen, and you gradually make your way forward as people leave, which isn't as bad as it sounds.
The place…More »
11. NOVO Pizzeria and Wine Bar
Vancouver, BC V6J 3H6
(604) 736-2220
When we walked in at around 7 pm on a weeknight we were seated immediately. Good thing, too, as it was filling up fast and a line formed shortly after we arrived.
Restaurant was pleasant enough and our order was promptly taken. Water glasses were…More »
12. Pizzeria Farina
Vancouver, BC V6A 2V8
(604) 681-9334
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Strathcona
Four stars for TAKE-AWAY only.
Really good, not-too-greasy pizza, but not a Friday night date spot, we discovered. We saw one semi-dressy couple get out of the cab, look in to assess the atmosphere...or lack there of...and leave.
We are "averaged" size…More »
13. Marcello Pizzeria
Vancouver, BC V5L 3X9
(604) 215-7760
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
Even post NY the pizza is always pretty tasty and the gnocchi with creamy meat sauce is the best if you like meat. Order a side of bread to pick up the extra sauce (if no one is looking) and yep, it's pretty standard that all of the Italian places…More »
14. The Za House
1-2 stars for the pizza, sadly.
If you've read any of my other reviews, you will know how much I love pizza! And while I am always suspicious of Groupons, etc., I thought that I'd give the Za house a chance. I was also suspicious after reading the…More »
15. Bella Pizza
Vancouver, BC V6H 2V2
(604) 732-6565
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
Rude proprietor. Shut down before closing hours on a Sat night. Served us cold pizza and charged full price for the last dregs of his frozen tasting pizza. Even after imbibing in a few bevvies, if I hadn't actually eaten in the store I would have…More »
16. Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar
Vancouver, BC V6B 1G1
(604) 678-8000
Categories:
Canadian (Traditional),
Gastropubs
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Finally got my check-in voucher but my friend did not, even though I made a point of emailing (twice) on our behalf.
With this much effort, and the worst frozen-tasting-pizza ever (that was recommended by the waitress) I will not return.
What a…More »

17. Scopa Restaurant
This might be my very favourite restaurant...ever...right now.
We enjoyed it so much that we visited it two nights in a row. I'm a regular in some Italian places at home, but this place is really as good as it gets. We paid about 1/2 of what we paid…More »
18. A 16
San Francisco, CA 94123
USA
(415) 771-2216
Really disappointed to read the negative reviews here. I was here in the spring, and they served us the top pizza and pasta of our lives. The service was as fine as I can recall. The wine was not to be missed. We were rushed as there was a flight to…More »
19. Spunto
Seriously, the best pizza place in NY. And did I mention that I'm not even a thin crust fan??? Yes, it is that good. The toppings appear as if they had added them after the fact, but they totally work!
Helpful and accomodating when trying to take…More »
20. Bleecker Street Pizza
Although Spunto is the best thin crust, this is the best by the slice in NYC in my op. And it's in an awesome location.
Get the homemade red sauce or the pepperoni one.
Great any time of day; friendly service, and it traveled well back to Vancouver.…More »
21. Johnny Farina Restaurant
Pizza and service were quite average, but fine for a family. I was a bit turned off at first as they seated only half our party while we looked longingly at the big empty table next to it. We were expected to seat ourselves once the hostess motioned…More »
22. UNA pizza + wine
Since I have had two days to eat the leftovers (no one else wanted them) and since they were actually pretty tasty, I have decided to add an additional star to this restaurant, overall.
My best advice is to see for yourself, but don't expect more…More »

Just a "Little" of Italy (29)Or a "lotta" Italy, depending on what your mood might be. I added a few from my fave cities in case you happen to be traveling. |
White Rock: A Little Piece of Paradise Close to Home (8)And closer to cheap gas, too. |
Starbucks (25)We all check them out...admit it! But do we have our faves? Do we know which ones to avoid? Here's my list thus far. |
For the Winers and Wineos (18)The best selections of wines in town |
Minutes in Maui (16)Well, that's what it felt like. Here's the "quick list." TBC. |
Casual Places to Perk up the Senses (38)For a little bit of food and a little bit of drink. This list pretty much applies to every average night. |
Fish no more! (17)Where the sea meets the table from high end to low end. |
Sogra. So-wha? That's right: the Granville-Broadway area. (22)Not to be confused with Granville South--otherwise known as Marpole. A quick glance at my "stars" will tell you that this just might not be the hottest part of town! |
