Calgary’s Best Pizza

Thin crust, thick crust and everything in between, when it comes to pizza, Calgary delivers.

Pizza can be a very controversial topic. We all have our preferences when it comes to crust thickness, crispiness, the type and distribution of toppings and where the cheese is layered in relation to the sauce. Pizza is personal, but whether you’re looking for a family pizza night or a sophisticated meal, restaurants on this list are bound to suit your pizza fancy when you’re looking for a slice in Calgary.

Azzurri Pizzeria

A little bit off the beaten path, Azzurri Pizzeria isn’t fancy but their pizza is a favourite amongst those looking for a tasty Italian-style pie. Owned and operated by the Ricioppo family, the restaurant makes Napoletana thin-crust pizza, with hand-stretched dough and traditional toppings.
Location: 2404 Edmonton Trail

Noble Pie

Noble Pie has become a local favourite and once Mike the Pizza Guy runs out of dough, he closes down shop. Despite that caveat, this super-authentic New York-style pizza is worth seeking out, thanks to its ultra-thin crust, Ezzo pepperoni and other carefully considered toppings. Noble Pie is set to return summer 2021.

Posto Pizzeria and Bar

Posto Pizzeria and Bar is right next door to its big sister, Bonterra Trattoria, which serves more upscale Italian fare. This casual chic pizza and wine bar consistently makes some of Calgary’s most delicious pizza, thanks to its airy thin crust and luscious toppings. The runaway favourite amongst Calgary food lovers is the gorgonzola, fig, potato, radicchio and rosemary pizza. If you’ve never had potato on a pizza before, you’re in for a treat, but everything on the menu offers a beautiful harmony of flavours.

PZA Parlour

Run by another member of the Tudda family, Tony Nicastro, PZA Parlour is a big family friendly dining room on McLeod Trail. The pizza is a little bit thicker than Napoletana-style pizza, but thinner and crispier than Greek-style. The toppings are mostly made up of traditional Italian meats and cheeses and are meant to be shared by the whole family.

Spiros Pizza

You can’t talk about pizza in Calgary without mentioning Greek-style pizza, by far the most ubiquitous style of pizza in the city until thin-crust took over in the mid-‘00s. Spiros Pizza is a Calgary classic, serving up thick cheese-laden slices topped with pepperoni, ham, mushrooms and other classic pizza toppings.
Location: 1902 33 St SW
 
 
 
 
And these are just a few of Calgary’s best spots. There’s always a pizzeria lurking around the corner, and as long as the pie is hot and topped with your favourites, you’re likely in for a great meal on the go.
