Was just reading Sperminator's ode to Donairs in the Lounge and wondered what you folks thought was the best Pizza in Edmonton?

I've been on the net a bit a few weeks back, looking for pizza nirvana, and 3 places kept coming up.

Vic's Pizza near the old Jasper Cinema.
Famosa
Rose Bowl

Your thoughts?

Tony's on 111 Ave and 96 St. Real NY Style Pizza.
Absolutely agree. Warning, do not ask for Pineapple Pizza. They only serve that to kids and on special request.

You meant "Famoso", right? If so, definitely the best pizza in town. It's right across the street from Revive so it's a great place to replenish the body after a carnal workout.

Steel Wheels, just off calgary trail and whyte. Of course I have only ever had it after a night of drunken debauchery, so take it for what its worth.

Call me old fashioned but in my mind for variety, new flavour combos and quality ingredients and service any Boston Pizza gets my vote.

Do they use the same recipe as the old Victoria Pizza?

If so, I'm on my way because that was the best.

Answered my own question

After reading about Vic's, I had a craving for Victoria's pizza. They are similar. Victoria Pizza was better, but Vic's is a close second. The sauce wasn't quite as good, but everything else was excellent.

I agree with you on Famoso, Funky Pickle, and Royal Pizza. They're good pizzas for what they are but they are deinitely not spectacular. I've never been to Rose Bowl but I love the pizzas at Capital. Capital makes some of the BEST pizza I've ever tasted--and trust me, I know food!
Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one.

Pizza is an interesting food, if you've traveled at all you will know that pizza in the country that is credited with its invention is COMPLETELY different from what passes for pizza in North America.

Royal is tasty if you are in the mood for artery clogging doses of cheese and dough. I am not saying that it is not good, I've eaten there many times and enjoyed it. Capital Pizza is awesome as well. Again your basic Greek run pizza place pizza. Jasper's L&W is also a fine example of this.

Tony's Pizza is NY Style from NY and is closer to Italian than a Chicago (deep dish) style pizza.

Damn all this talk of pizza has be hungry!

Enjoy all!

Have you tried Pizzerio Prego on 111th st on the south side. They have an unusual menu and great pizza. The majority of their biz is takeout as they only have seating for about 6 people.

Your going to have me up to 500 pounds by the time I eat my way around the city. Vics was so good I ordered it again the night after I had my first. I've ordered again since. Tonight I stopped in at RoseBowl for takeout. They cook it slow at a lower heat so I should have ordered ahead as it takes a full thirty five minutes to prepare. They sure do lay on the toppings though so be ready for pizza in the morning. Excellent pizza but I haven't decided if it is better than Vics, so I guess I have to go back for a second try. Vics may win because they deliver to my house. Looks like my next stop will have to be Capital.

From the Edmonton Sun

Dave Houseman’s pizza might not be the best in the world, but it’s awfully close.

The local businessman is returning to Edmonton Friday after winning sixth place in the International Pizza Challenge in Las Vegas.

Around 120 pizza makers from around the globe battled it out for the top prize of $10,000, along with bragging rights.

“It was very good,” said Houseman, who owns Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria, which has locations downtown and on the south side of the city.

“It was my first time competing in anything like this, so it was a big learning experience. A lot of people I was competing against have done this for years.”

He also beat out two other Canadians from Ontario to finish as the top Canuck competitor.

On Tuesday, the pizza makers whipped up pies to qualify for the semifinals.

Then on Thursday, the handful who passed the first test went on to duke it out for top spot.

The contestants had half an hour to make two pizzas: one for the judges and another for the audience.

They were only allowed two toppings. Houseman chose mushrooms and sausage to add flavour to his crust.

“A lot of what they’re grading you on is your dough and your sauce,” he explained before the contest.
