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.
Pizza and beer go hand-in-hand and Pizza Brew at
Minhas Brewery offers a range of red and blonde pizzas
on your choice of regular, whole wheat or gluten-free
crusts. The pizzas, naturally, go perfectly with one of
Minas’ many varieties of beer. Ask your server for pairing
suggestions.

POW PIZZa
The first restaurant in canada to receive official
certification from the napoletana pizza authorities in
Italy, Pulcinella serves thin-crust pizzas that are meant to
be eaten with a knife and fork, just like they do in Naples.
Proprietor Domenic Tudda grew up working in his
parents’ restaurant, the legendary Stromboli Inn, which
was in the same Kensington location where Pulcinella sits
today, so he knows his pizza. Tudda also serves pasta and
Italian antipasti and makes his own in-house gelato.
calgary’s destination for Detroit-style pizza, POW
Pizza is a little walk-in shop that serves incredibly thick
rectangular focaccia-style pizzas loaded up with brick
cheese and both standard and decidedly untraditional
toppings, with a dollop of sauce on top. The thick dough
means these made-to-order pizzas take a while to cook,
so be sure to call ahead or be prepared to spend some
time relaxing in the outdoor sitting area in front of the
shop.
