    We had an incredible Sunday family get together for our sister's birthday celebration. The service was phenomenal as if you were going to your cool best friends restaurant but the food is extraordinary using fresh ingredients, piping hot dishes and definitely made with love. The head pizza chef was incredible....I literally watched him forming the dough to the pizzas and he did every one with patience and care as if he was making it for his own family to eat. I love how the owner(s) have hired excellent staff and enough of them so we never had to wait long. The pastas were incredible rigatoni with pork ragu had the perfect about of heat, 🍄 mushroom risotto had a nice truffle oil, cacio pepe minus the pepe was perfect for the kids ...my picky son asked me to order another order. There is so much good food I don't know where to even start....if you love a lemony garlicky Caesar salad /kale Caesar with the best homemade croutons ( love). Meatballs tapas were excellent and don't forget to order the homemade foccacia bread ( I was told the head pizza chef makes it) is a must and don't forget to dip in the meatball sauce. And of course the pizzassssssss...... The crust is just incredible. Light and crispy with the right al dente chewiness and the ingredients were amazing ..highlights for me were the sausage and fennel, Hawaiian with roasted macadamia buts and fresh roasted pineapple, spicy coconut kale was fantastic and it is spicy ...I don't think you can go wrong. Thank you to my sister 💕 for introducing this gem of a restaurant with cute outdior seating too...can't believe I have only tried it now . My side of the family has seen the photos and we are already gonna come back next week. ENJOY!! PS INSIDER TIPS ...ASK FOR THEIR HOMEMADE CALABRIAN CHILLIES DIP AND BLUE CHEESE RANCH TOP FOR YOUR PIZZAS. THANKS ME LATER. PPS DRINKS ARE GREAT TOO PLUS THEY USE GLASS STRAWS...BONUS!!!

    Yummy thin crust pizzas, a bit on the higher price range for the portions, but that’s Vancouver nowadays. Will definitely be getting the pizzas for a quick take out in the future.

    I loveeeee Carano and come here all the time with my boyfriend and our friends. The carne pizza is to die for with the garbanzo pizza dip. We also love the meatballs and kale salad! Wanted to try the panna cotta but it was sold out, so we had the lemon ricotta cheesecake which was so good. I also like the gluten free crust which is not like me because I love gluten lol. My boyfriend's favorite bartender works here as well. He's from Detroit and makes the most unique cocktails. I'm sure he's won awards too, and if not he deserves one! I love the staff here. There is always the same hostess and server when we come who is so sweet and kind. Love her cool tattoos too. I have never met the owners but I have so much respect for them because they were kind enough to donate a gift card to my work's appreciation party (the Acute Medicine Unit at VGH). One of the owners said he was married to a VGH nurse as well! Our staff were so grateful for the kindness and generosity!

    I forget where I came across this, but I heard that this place had a "spicy coconut kale pizza" and I knew I had to try it. I finally visited with a friend and the pizza totally lived up to my dreams. The flavours are pretty unexpected for pizza, but the aroma of the coconut cream with the nutty sauteed mushrooms and chili heat is heavenly. Their crust takes thin crust to a new level - it's almost paper thin but crispy and sturdy with nicely puffed edges. I saved a piece to take home, but one hungry person can definitely finish an entire pie. My friend got the Hawaiian and also praised it highly. Tiramisu is one of my favourite desserts so I also had to try theirs while I was here. We both really liked this too! Every bite was at first rich and creamy, and then the bittersweet coffee and cocoa flavour hit. The vibe here is great - our waiter was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We hung around for a while after we paid and didn't feel any pressure to leave. It might be a little too popular to really be a neighbourhood secret, but it definitely has that feel of a cozy and cool place that's a little hidden away from the world.

    Combo and spinach pizza. Surprisingly the spinach one was better because I can taste the fior di latte cheese along with the spinach. It's not oily. No dip sauce. Overall a solid place to get pizza. You can see two chefs hand make the pizza. From dough to placing the toppings. Took 15 minutes for both to come out though I didn't time it. There is a bar with large tv screen.
