Random pizza place in the middle of a random mini strip mall on Como Lake by a residential area. Seriously, there's nothing else here other than a gas station. Had no idea this place even existed until my friend told me of its existence. The name means "double zero" in Italian.
Parking is plentiful in the strip mall lot. I heard it can get full though, in which case there is street parking nearby.
The place is new and modern, like the rest of the building.
Staff are very friendly and professional. Definitely a nice touch. Special mention. Buddy and I felt quite welcome throughout the entire dinner.
As an appetizer, they provide small slices of foccacia bread with the usual fixings (lobster oil, chili flakes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar). That got gobbled up.
As of the time of writing, they were part of a multi-restaurant pizza competition. Doppio's entry (not on their current menu) is a carbonara pizza. Pizzas here are neopolitan (thin crust) style. Not sure what was in it other than sliced ham and what I assume is mozzarella. The staff come by and grate dried egg yolk on top as well. It was pretty decent.
I also tried their contest winning boschetti pizza from last year (2023), which is now proudly included in their menu. Italian sausage (prosciutto?) slices, tomatoes, and other cheese goodies. Best to just read the menu.
Both pizzas were a bit on the salty side, but that may just be because of all the cured meats. The bigger issue was that the pizzas were a bit wet/mushy in the middle - the cooking time needs to be slightly increased. Buddy and I had trouble moving the slices onto our plates without destroying the slices.
Lastly, we also tried the (mushroom) ravioli tartufati (Italian for truffles). This was a recommendation from our server, and it hit the spot. Normally I'm leery of vegan dishes, but this was surprisingly good. Only complaint is that the dish is definitely on the saltier side, so I got super thirsty while eating this thing. Oh yeah, the mushroom sauce probably consists of 50% butter. Try not to think about your arteries clogging. The sauce does make a really good spread for the appetizer bread I must say.
Overall I am quite impressed at the level of service and quality of food, other than the excessive saltiness. Personally I would place the pizzas a touch below the quality of Via Tevere and Marcello (both in Vancouver). In other words, can't really go wrong with this place if one is in the area, but there are other (better) options around town. With that said, I would eat here again. read more
