Calgary's Best Restaurants

Best places to eat by food category

Best Pizza 🍕

Calgary's pizza scene used to be lackluster, but in recent years the competition has really picked up, which really benefits us as the consumer!  There are lots of good choices, but here are some faves.

Noble Pie

Connie & John's

Connie & John's

noble pie calgary pizza best

Noble Pie started as a small pizza pop-up within Eighty Eight brewing but quickly took on a life of it's own. This New York style pizza is truly delicious. Expect big floppy slices of heaven. They now have their own digs downtown Calgary, you can't stay in but you can order pick-up or delivery.

Connie & John's

Connie & John's

Connie & John's

connie and johns pizza pepperoni calgary

Connie and John are famous local chef's who we already know because of Charcut, Charbar and Alley Burger. They've now added pizza to their repertoire, because why not?  This pizza stands up the Connie & John's name. It's cheese and greasy in the best way possible. Get it to go from Charbar or pick-up from their new Blush Lane location in Marda Loop.

Posto Pizza

Connie & John's

Posto Pizza

Posto is one of Calgary's faves. Expect delicious crusts and fresh toppings. You won't be able to get enough.

Best Mexican 🌮

Who doesn't love tacos!? Hard shell tacos are old news as everyone wants delicate soft shell tacos that are filled with succulent slow cooked meats.

Native Tongues

Native Tongues

Native Tongues

Native Tongues is part of the well known collection of restaurants that make up the Thank-you Hospitality Group.  Known for their small, juicy, soft-shell tacos and margarita collection Native Tongues is a go-to taco destination.

Moose & Poncho
