    the outside of the restaurant

    My daughter and I were wandering around downtown with a friend, trying to decide on a place for dinner. We ended up at Pizza Garden and all agreed to share a large Margherita pizza. I'd heard rave reviews about Pizza Garden from more than one friend of ours so I had high hopes for this place. The pizza had a wonderfully crispy crust and was more than just decent. It was an awesome pizza. Perhaps I set my expectations a bit too high though, because as good as it was, I don't think it was as mind blowingly good as people had made it out to be. Still an excellent choice for pizza downtown though, and I'd still highly recommend this place! Service: Good Parking: Paid parking Location: 675 Smithe St., Vancouver

    Hair was not a topping I ordered!

    This pizza was actually quite terrible. We usually order from our favourite pizza place but they were closed Christmas day, so we thought we'd try this place. To start, there was hair on the pizza....not a topping I ordered. (see pic) Another thing I noticed was that their dough was most likely not fresh and frozen. How could I tell? Well....the dough was incredibly soft. When frozen dough is thawed...the locked moisture from the freezing is released within the dough during cooking and therefore renders it soggy. So....there's that. Also, another decorative piece on the pizza was the leftover charcoal soot from whatever source it fell from onto the pizza (see pic).....not good. Mostly, I think with this place and our experience were issues of hygiene, which it seemed were completely disregarded and ignored. Yeah, I don't think I would eat their pizza even for free just because I'm not sure about their hygiene and health measures practiced.

    As a VSO subscriber over the years, Pizza Garden has been my cafeteria over the years. Intermission is 20 minutes, if you can time it right. It is doable to duck out for 2 slices and a soda. I've always appreciate their stream line of payment and sauce counter. This location is meticulous with stocking napkins and sanitisers on every other booth. On to the crust, Pizza Garden serves Neapolitan Style Pizzas, and I do appreciate their crust. I would consider their combo a light meal.

    We ordered a few pizzas for delivery for an office lunch and they were all delicious! I like that you can get half and half pizzas so you can try more flavours. We had the Pollo Excellente, Ruchetta, 4 Cheese, Supremo and Potato Gorgonzola. The crust is very thin and light.

    Fantastic grilled chicken & spinach pizza

    Absolutely delicious Pollo Exccellente pizza! Fresh as ever and seasoned to perfection. Friendliest delivery drivers as well. Thank you Pizza Garden Smithe Street!

    We stayed in Downtown Vancouver at the Moda Hotel which is 1 block to Pizza Garden. After a full day of hiking through Vancouver, we went to Pizza Garden at 10:15 for a late pizza party. The pizza was hot, crispy and flavorful. We tried the garlic Ali and it added a nice zing to the pizza. Thanks PGS!

    The reason we went back those other two times was because we were impressed by the food the first time. Unfortunately, that was the only time that we were impressed though. The second time after 20 minutes we went back only to find out that the pizza maker and the cashier gossiping, and our pizza was not even made yet. When finally, she made the pizza and got it out of the oven, she flipped it upside down in the box resulting in a mush instead of pizza. We still went back for the third time. This time she was on the phone and resolving a matter and on the computer. I asked the cashier if she was going to make the pizza, and she confirmed. I just hoped she washed her hand and lo and behold, she did not! The pizza was also carelessly done, but I guess if you are coming from Granville after a couple of beer glasses, you just don't care.

    Ok, so unlike us, we ordered delivery from the unknown while spending the Valentines night at our hotel awaiting our Thursday Buildex day. Having been on our feet all day we didn't think we were getting an "A" reservation so why not watch the 'Nucks rock the Panthers (or not) and order in. Last year we were here and couldn't get delivery. Luckily this year was different from the "Garden", and boy were we happy it was. It's tough to get drop off in the downtown core because of all the full service options presented. Our pizza arrived within the time outlined in spite of the front desk check in, and thank you Pinnacle for checking out the move in, and out The pizza included real kalamata's as advertised, was delivered on time and hot! Not something you're typically seeing, a good sized hearing about on pizza but oh my was that a delicious offering. So to be far from brief, if you're looking for a delivery in the downtown core you cannot go wrong with the "Garden"

    Finally, another option to Megabite or Numero Uno. Parking here sucks. 'Nuff said. Slices here are $2.50 at night, which unfortunately is the going rate these days. The slice I had probably would've tasted decent if they didn't burn it. Sigh.

    Pizza by the slice.
    Stephen H.

    Stopped here for the 1st time and I was impressed. Ordered one slice and it was $3.50 with tax. Very, very good. Awesome crust. They take your slice and put it in the oven to heat up with the pizzas that they're making for everybody else who are taking full ones away. The flavour was fantastic but if you're really, really hungry I wouldn't recommend getting 1 of these. It's all about the flavour not about the mass. I'm sure I'll be back. Cool staff with really swift service.

    Pesto pizza
    Denise W.

    Firm ordered lots of pizza for everyone. So had the pesto pizza and the Hawaiian pizza. The crust is a bit thin (its so thin, you can fold it up) and well I do like it that way. But again you can taste the burnt taste. Yes as you can see from my pictures my pizza is a bit burnt. Its not just the two slices I got are like that. Its every pizza (we ordered at least 25 large pizza and everyone is like that. Maybe they made it too quick. We got it delivered and its a bit cold. I mean you can heat it up in the microwave and its still fine. The pizza are big and I really mean bigger then its competitor. In terms of toppings, its ok. Not like its really loaded. Its a bit missing on the cheese. When I get pizza, I expect lots of cheese. Guess my firm will order from here every Thursday until April 30 LOL. (must be my colleague Fav place)

    Half is Pollo Pesto and the other half is Pizza Magic.

    Best take out delivery pizza I have ever had! Real thin crust Neapolitan style pizza that is cooked to perfection with some great real ingredients. Pizza perfect!

    Regular slice
    Marc D.

    * NY style slice * This inexpensive little pizza joint right off of the Granville entertainment district was a really pleasant surprise. They are using a Wood Stone open oven, and producing a very VERY respectable NY style slice for a reasonable price ($2.25/slice, or $5.50 for 2 slices and a drink). The key here clearly is getting whatever is coming fresh out of the oven, as the slices sitting in the warming tray did not look anywhere near as good. Luckily the friendly guy behind the counter was just taking out a basic no fancy schmancy toppings pizza from the over so I got to enjoy my favourite - a regular slice. The crust was very good, with just the right chew while still being crispy and light. It folded perfectly. The bottom had a nice leoparding with a slight char. The sauce was rich and flavourful, the cheese just right, and there was a little bit of olive oil on top just like in NY. I would have loved to have a shaker with some oregano, but a guy can dream. Photo: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/0YioR9H49FkkggyEiijcyQ?select=IjSDzPKkyL79sSSvwbAmyQ I'll definitely be back and keeping an eye on that open oven to see what is coming out fresh!

    Ambiance & setting: A+ Service: excellent…read more Food: amazing We ordered: 1. Beef tartare ($28) 2. Brussel sprouts ($18) 3. Truffle mushroom pizza ($28) 4. Fried chicken ($24) surprisingly really good, and probably one of the best fried chicken I've ever had. It sounds basic, but the honey glazed flavor was amazing. 5. Lobster spaghetti ($65) 6. Wagyu steak ($65) 7. Lemon tart ($16) 8. Pot de crème ($14) Everything was worth getting, but I'd probably skip the tartare next time. Overall, great food at a cute dinner spot with beautiful high ceilings, candlelight's, and a nice bar.

    Nightingale is from the owners of Hawksworth, which I thought was a very good but not necessarily…read moregreat restaurant, but I really like Nightingale. It's a two-story space off of Hastings with a bar downstairs that has table seating and a somewhat quieter upstairs dining area where the kitchen is. I prefer the upstairs area, but both are fine. Don't be misled by the fact that reservations for the bar don't mean that you have to sit at the bar. It could mean anywhere in the downstairs area. The menu is a combination of surprisingly upscale food and straightforward dishes such as pizza, but the pizza is just not ordinary pizza, even though it's reasonably priced. In fact, it's one of the best pizzas in Vancouver. The appetizers are varied and extraordinary. We had the hamachi, which let the fish shine through, and the kanpachi, which was a complex preparation that we particularly enjoyed. Another surprise was the cauliflower hummus, which was much more layered and intricate than you might expect. Service was excellent, and there is a thoughtful wine list plus an enormous selection of liquors such as whiskies and even Amaro. In fact, they have tasting flights of different whiskies and Amaro, which I always particularly appreciate.

    Stopped by Nook on Denman Street for a casual Italian comfort food dinner…read more The Food The kitchen turns out straightforward, well-executed classics. We shared a pizza and the Rigatoni Boscaiola. The pizza crust had great leopard-spotting and a chewy, blistered edge, with the tomato sauce tasting bright and fresh rather than sugary. The rigatoni was cooked properly al dente, catching plenty of that savory, creamy mushroom-and-sausage sauce. It's thoroughly satisfying, though like many rich pasta dishes, the sauce leans on the heavier, saltier side toward the last few bites. We finished with a slice of their house tiramisu, which was airy, nicely soaked with espresso, and not overly sweet. The Service Lively, attentive, and down-to-earth. The staff handled the dinner rush smoothly, we were greeted warmly, menus were dropped right away, and wine recommendations were casual and honest. Even with a queue forming near the door, we never felt aggressively pushed out, though the pacing of the plates is definitely brisk. The Ambiance Snug, energetic, and very much a classic West End neighborhood joint. It's a tight room with warm lighting, rustic wood accents, and a bustling open kitchen/bar area that fills the space with good cooking aromas. Because tables are packed closely together, the noise level climbs quickly once the room fills up, so it feels more vibrant and buzz-y than quiet and intimate.

    Woefully sub-average. It is best I can describe this place…read more Entered the place on a Monday afternoon whilst three East Indian men chillaxing in the dining area. They quickly jumped at my presence and returned to their stations as if they're caught slacking off. First idea was to order a deep dish but a few moments later upon entry I decided otherwise. I opted for 2 slices and a pop. Meatloaf and cheese. The sever didn't bother to warm them. They were dry and like old pizzas. Taste is okay/sub/average considering the price but very unlikely I will return.

    Ordered two pizzas from here on Uber Eats…read more My friend and I wanted to check out the local deep dish scene, and this seemed to be one of the few places that offered it, so we decided to give it a try. I didn't have very high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the pizzas here. They offer a variety of veggie and meat pizzas that can be made with regular crust or deep dish style. We ordered a small deep dish margharita ($19.99) and a medium deep dish butter chicken ($23.99) pizza. Both weren't true deep dish pizzas, but the crust was nice and thick. I'd recommend the pizzas here to anyone who likes a breadier crust. My only minor complaint is that the pizzas didn't have enough sauce to complement the thick crust. The pizzas kept well for leftovers too. They tasted just as good the next day heated up in our toaster oven.
