Have you ever worked in the food industry? If so, avoid this place at all costs to avoid the massive frustration you will encounter when you watch them attempt to build pizza. This sounds trivial, but it took us 37 minutes to receive two half pizzas, and the primary reason was very poor build workflow. Most of the time, it seemed like they were confused about what was supposed to be on a pizza and were constantly taking things out and putting it away. 37 minutes is far too long for a food truck to deliver the goods. There was also a great deal of confusion as to when someone's order was up, as they also failed to call out names on a number of occasions. I watched the chef not call a name and put the pizza on an oven, only to later have a group that was standing there for some time finally go inquire. Turns out the chef had been keeping the pizza on top of the oven for no reason the entire time. He had not called for them. Pretty disappointing as I think they had been there longer than I had! A few positive points; topping selection is excellent offering some legitimately impressive variety from artichoke hearts to pine nuts. The sauce tastes home made and compliments the toppings well. I am told the majority of it is gluten free, which makes this a home run for those allergic--but not necessarily the average food-truck-goer. Crust is an integral part of wood-fired pizza, so the crust truly falls flat on its face here, as it is gluten free. It has an almost cardboard-like taste and is incredibly tough, thin, and homogeneous. Of course, this won't matter for celiacs (and I'm sure it's actually quite good from a gluten-free perspective), but I wasn't impressed. Ultimately though, I was happy to just finally receive my pizza. Maybe it's growing pains, or new staff. Maybe I'll have to give it another try. But unless you are allergic to gluten, and especially if you're on a schedule, I simply cannot recommend it. read more

Nice little restaurant with good gluten free pizza. Friendly staff, clean environment. Not the best GF pizza I've ever had but good. The crust was thin and crispy, the topping were fresh. read more

Not very good pizza. The meat on the pizza did not taste very well. The restaurant claims to use natural ingredients but they did not taste like it. read more

Sorry, but this pizza is terrible. I don't know why food trucks in this city insist on trying to offer specialty items. Why can't someone just make really good pizza? does it have to be gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan....all of which equate to being "flavor free" to those of us just interested in buying a normal meal. There are still more of us "non-allergics" out there than there are people with sensitive tummies, so why not try catering to us? There crust is terrible - I'd rather have eaten the box it came in. I don't know if I accidentally got a gluten free one, or if they've just bastardized their recipe so as to offer a gluten free option, but it was aweful. Their New Yorker was supposed to have bacon and parsley, of which I had neither, so I was stuck with the most flavorless pepperoni and cheese that was clearly not "good, melty pizza cheese". Again, I don't know if they started getting "regular" cheese from their lactose-free supplier or what, but how hard is it to make a pepperoni pizza that's decent? I've had better Pizza 73 at the movie theatre, and that's sad. My husband had the butter chicken pizza, which tasted nothing like butter chicken, but more like one spice in particular (coriander?), which I think was coming from the drizzle of mango "chutney" on top. Normally chutney implies chunks, but this was blended up and tasted of little else than that spice. He didn't even finish it, and he never leaves anything on his plate. He ate my last piece of pepperoni and then threw his away. Sad. I think I'm over food trucks, as I have yet to have a good experience, yet I try not to give up hope. And why the hell are food truck prices so expensive? You have no overhead, all you pay for is ingredients, and you're not offering good food! read more

My co-workers and I love this place - we order often for office events. I love that you're getting a treat, but with healthy, fresh ingredients. The Guru and Picasso pizzas are amazing! read more

What an amazing find! Before heading to the airport to fly home, I used the "Find Me GF" app to locate some good food and Avatara was a top it! Not only that, they also have dairy free and soy free options. The owner is very friendly, knowledgeable about food, and aims to support sustainable practices. Complete win in my book! The pizza was delicious - thin, crispy crust, fresh veggies, and hormone/antibiotic free pepperoni. Eating clean and healthy has never tasted so good! read more

All up, we were very happy with our pizzas. We ordered The Buddha, T-rex Meatzilla, Italian Stallion, and Mauie Wauwie. All the flavours were there but maybe the crust was not the best we've had though the whole point is that it's 100% whole wheat. You can also get gluten free, Vegan, lactose or dairy intolerant pizzas. I really liked how they used the bio degradable round boxes with lids to take home. The decor is friendly with an open kitchen and a view into the huge pizza oven. Hung on the walls are painted representatives of each pizza. And as you may have guessed, mine was a Buddha. read more

Happy Juanuary!!!!!! :) .......some may get this, haha. Anyway, after work my gf and I decided to get together for a girls night but we were both pretty tired from work and both too lazy to prepare some dinner. Amanda mentioned that there was a pizza place that she was able to order from as she has a newly discovered list of dietary restrictions. She was going to place the order while I was on my way to her place so I quickly looked at the online menu and saw "pepperoni, BACON..." and decided to go with the New Yorker ($12) on whole wheat which was Tomato Sauce, Mozza, Pepperoni, Bacon, and Parsley. Amanda went with the Mauie Wauie ($13) which had Tomato or Rebel BBQ Sauce, Ham, Mozza, Pineapple, Bacon, Parsley with gluten free crust. We got comfy because we ordered delivery. Delivery charges vary, depending on where you are but ours was $9 and of course you can go and pick your order up as well. They offer 100% organic whole wheat, gluten free, lactose free, dairy free, & vegan options. It felt like forever when finally our delivery person came....it must have felt long as I was super hungry. Anyway, he came with two boxes and a portable debit machine. After he left I was super excited to dive right in. I opened the box and saw a very thin crust pizza that looked silly in the box, I even pondered to myself if whether the pizza should be bigger or the box should be smaller. Amanda mentioned that her Mauie Wauie was a version of Hawaiian and she very much enjoyed her pizza. At first bite, I found it to be really salty, the bacon is bacon bits...I was hoping for pieces of bacon!! Overall, this is not the pizza place for me because my perfect pizza has thicker crust, loaded toppings and when you bite into the pizza there is melty cheese that stretches from your mouth to the pizza.....mmmm. BUT! for people with dietary restrictions, I'm sure they satisfy that pizza craving! EXTRA EXTRA! There will be a location opening up in Marda Loop right across from the Shoppers Drug Mart within the next year or so! read more

I really like the pizzas here, they are not traditional pizzas... But they are great!!... Those I have tried are really good.. The price is average and the service is not bad... I would go back, to try some pizzas that seem to be interesting... read more

Easy online order for an all vegan meal delivered. I appreciated the zero waste containers and cutlery. Plus kombucha! Couldn't ask for more for a plant based option for a tired traveler. read more

For once my husband and I could eat the same thing. He's got zero allergies and I have all of them. It was great sharing a pie that was legal for me and my sweetheart could also enjoy. I was also impressed to see kombucha in the fridge. Bringing home the other half to watch a movie. read more

Many GF DF options. Love many of the specialty pizzas, esp. the Picasso. Favorite pick up pizza place in the city.

Amazing! I went here while at Xfest and was blown away! Had the Maui pizza and orange lemonade. Both were delicious and I was pleased while ordering that they were knowledgable about the product and were able to answer my food concerns. I was able to eat pizza without feeling guilty and my husband actually enjoyed it as well. I'd stalk this truck any day! read more

I haven't had a pizza in 10 years. After visiting this place with a non lactose friend of mine both of us agreed we will be regulars. Even if you aren't celiac try the gluten free crust. Absolutely amazing experience from service to product. read more

Very good pizza! Quite thin crust and creative toppings. Love the gluten-free option!

It's great that they have vegan options (daiya). Pretty lame that it costs extra for the vegan cheese (not advertised). I would go again, it was tasty, just nothing to get really excited about. read more

I used to like Avatara's whole wheat crust, although it could be a bit tough and bland. I REALLY don't like new "multi grain" crust, it's basically just white bread. The last two times we've ordered pizza, it tasted very undercooked. Maybe it's because the crust isn't a chewy, typical pizza crust, but is a more dense, bread like one. It's got that raw bread taste you get when you take a pizza out of the oven too soon. Sorry, Avatara, won't be back. read more

$50 for two 12 inch pizzas that tasted worse than grocery store. What a major rip off!!

Fantastic gluten free pizza. Crust is light. Flavored are good. Very fresh ingredients. Started with the spinach salad - excellent. Bruschetta is very good. Love it. Doesn't look like much from the outside but everything is fresh, organic and flavorful. read more

Avatara Pizza - Fantastic pizza at Avatara. Organic and gluten free! Great salad and bruschetta. - Pizza Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The crust is dry and stale. dough is not longer made in store, and you can taste it. Pizzas got smaller and more expensive. I'd suggest going down the street to Pizza Bob's! read more

Gluten free dought bought and made in calgary from a bakery.topppings where frozen and the price of the pizza to high .but most of all the owner was very rude J tried breaking the ice and talking to him but he seemed not to want to talk to a guest....I always say if you can't smile don't go in business....asta lungo amico read more

Love the thin crusts,. Italian Stallion is my favourite, like the Mediterranean one too. Also enjoy the Jones Colas. Only part I don't like is the Vegan Daiya cheese. Wish we Vegans had more cheese choices, ie. Basic Roots or The Light Cellar's gorgeous nut cheese. Or the incredible range Kite Hill (US) offers. read more

As someone with Celiac, this place is pizza heaven! My girlfriend doesn't even have Celiac and she loves the pizza. We also love getting the chicken fingers. They don't even taste gluten free! I highly recommend this place for those on a gluten free diet. read more

REALLY sad. . . I phoned to see if they were open Christmas day and was told yes. I arrived at 6.33pm and they were there, lights on, but locked door. I asked him to open and hoped he would sell me a ready made base so I could still give my children their promised pizza on Christmas day. He was very unfriendly and rude and said he'd closed the till. - I could have paid cash - It was a shelf product He had a CHOICE on xmas day, to help or not. He chose NOT to be helpful. I too am in retail and know he had a choice. They have seen the last of my money . . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am 'updating' my review from a 1* to a *** and to add that I was personally contacted by the owner and he was really great. I received a heartfelt apology, he took ownership of the problem, related to me what had been done to address it and asked me if I would accept a voucher and give them another chance. He thanked me for my review and concern. Kudos to you Chris... read more

They have pretty good pizza and its a win that they have veggie options. But the don't hold true the hours, I have tried to order pizza a few times now only to have the guy tell me on the phone "nahh we are closing, it was not a busy day" clearly the reason you are slow is that you are disappointing your clients and they go else where. Like my friends and I did. read more

Horrible. I guess gluten free means it should taste like crap. Little Caesars is better surprisingly

I guess it's good if you're celiac or vegan, but otherwise, it's not enjoyable pizza. The crust is stale and cracker-like. The tomato sauce, I will grant them, is pretty good. Very rich and flavourful. However, the rest of the toppings don't live up to the standard set by the sauce. The cheeses lack taste, and the herbs and vegetables essentially act as exciting-looking air. All in all, it's like you're eating baby food topped with decent tomato sauce. If you have severe dietary restrictions, sure, this may somewhat satisfy your pizza cravings, but for the pizza enthusiast, Avatara pizza has none of the fun and vibrance of a good pizza. read more
