My son and I enjoyed a dinner date sitting at the bar. Bartender/server was skilled, funny and informative. We had classic margs and the Carne Pizza. Molto delizioso! The crust was to die for! Son's lucky to live nearby! read more

This is an amazing place for pizza. My favourite is the funghi. The sauce is decadent. I love the crust here. Their pasta is very well done and their caesar salad is a must have. The beet salad is a yes too. I also really love their panno cotta and can definitely have more than one servings. Amazing service always, it doesn't matter if it is the front or back. We have run into a couple of kitchen staff on the way to the washroom. Always smiling and pleasant. Definitely check this out esp in you are in the hood! read more

A hidde gem on fraser st for sure. Saw picts in IG and decided to give it a try. The pizza here is made differently no stone brick oven here for sure. Just a regular oven. A true neighborhood joint that you will go to on a regular basis. However, i must say they have the thinnest and sturdiest crust i have ever seen and experienced. It was able to hold up the toppings without compromising the integrity of the slice We tried the Serrano pizza and the capaccolo and smoked ham. The Serrano had a white sauce base and sprinkled with roasted pistachios. Both pizzas were great. Nice quality toppings, thin crust, and nice crunch. However, im sure it wont hurt to put more toppings on the pizza. We also tried the caccio e peppe and the smoked salmon spaghtetti. The caccio e peppe was spot on. Exactly like what you would have in italy. Very peppery though- fair warning to those who are not familiar with this dish. You can actually taste the kick and aroma of the fresh cracked pepper. The smoked salmon was also very unique. Altho slice salmon pieces was used instead of the smoked variety which you eat with crackers. Still good but nothing extraordinary. Reservations are a must, but if you walk in, they will try their best to seat you. One thing missing was the table side cheese service and olive oil. One thing to point out that this is not an italian restaurant. Its more like a corner pizzeria 2.0. Dont expect neopolitana or roma style pizzas. They have their own identity. Service here was excellent. They will try and answer your questions, engage you in conversation, and make sure you are taken care of. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

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. read more

I last minute made a reservation Friday afternoon for that same evening. Parking was easy and we got seated right away. Service was super friendly, perhaps a few too many frequent checkins. Tables were a bit small for what we ordered but we made it work. We sat by the takeout window which made it a bit chilly every time an order was passed through the sliding window. Would definitely recommend sitting elsewhere if you're dining in the winter as the breeze wasn't optimal. Smoked olives -- 3.5/5, these were good but I prefer more natural flavours to come through. Castelvetrano olives are my go-to but the buttery & creaminess was stripped away more than I would've liked Cacio e Pepe -- 4/5, pasta was al dente, well seasoned and cheesy Carne pizza-- 5/5, really enjoyed this pizza straight out of the oven. This one has a strong kick to it but I still asked for chilli oil as the crust was less exciting I would come back to try different pizza variations but wouldn't go out of my way for Italian food. read more

Deeeeeeeelish zza!!! We went for a date night Saturday and wanted to try this joint since we just moved into the hood. We saw photos of the pizza and they looked great. The menu also was alittle different from the usual which we liked as well. No reservations and we walked in at 5pm for Happy Hour (Sat) where we indulged in $5 wine and $2 off all zza. My partner got a negroni too for half off! ($14 down to $7) which tbh you never seen in this city!!! Great happy hour drink prices. We had no problem getting in either and got seated right away. Our waitress was awesome and attentive! Service was also really quick. Pizzas came out in less than ten minutes and piping hot! A few things I noticed right away was the integrity of the crust, holds all components nicely and with strength. It has a nice crispy bottom too and some charring on the sides which I always like. They also gave us hot chili oil for the table and chili flakes which I always appreciate. They're also extremely generous with the cheese! It was super melted and gooey and delish. The spicy salami was also so good and tasty! My partner also thoroughly enjoyed his margherita pizza. We tend to like our dough a touch chewier but all and all it was pretty dang good. Will def go back to try more dishes and pasta! Ambience is also solid for a date night! read more

We're visiting in Vancouver, and wanted an easy dinner since we had a late lunch and had been out all day. I took to the yelps and found this 4.5 star spot, and I'm a bit suspect. As you can see from the pics posted, the pizza is lacking on quantity, quality and toppings. Maybe it's because I'm used to Texas sized items, but a 4 slice pizza as a regular size? And the one peice of cheese per slice that slides off the millimeter thick crust is a bit lacking much like the few toppings put on top. The high ratings make me think they don't have much in the way of pizza around here. It cost a lot for so little. I ordered through door dash, and i will say they were timely and stuck to the schedule. read more

Excellent food and service! Our server and Kevin really took their time to make sure our dining experience was perfect. They promptly cleared our plates to make space for later dishes and answered our questions about their food and drinks whenever we had any. Food came quick and as they were ready just how we had asked for. We made reservations on the day of and they happily accommodated us with patio seating next to some lovely flowers. The drinks were delicious - my Aperol Spritz off the menu had a hint of bitterness to it and was not too sweet. My boyfriend tried the Negroni which had a kick of espresso before and after tasting. Very interesting combinations. Their pizzas were good, we tried the funghi and sausage and fennel but the star dish here was the tagliatelle bolognese, made in house. We also had the smoked salmon pasta and it was interestingly one of the first or few times I had smoked salmon with tomato-based red sauce. I would recommend trying more pasta dishes over pizzas but both are excellent. The pasta was so good I dove in to eat and forgot to take a photo of it - that is a rare occurrence! Not all pastas are made in house currently but their plan is to transition to this model in the future. I can't wait to come back and try the ragu! read more

Why did it take me so long to try this spot? Tucked away on Fraser street away this pizza spot is definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood. The have a small COVID-patio which they share with eggs and co. The pizza here is delish (especially the funghi pizza). The crust is amazing. (Ask for the chili oil if you like some heat on your pizza) . Also the Bufala salad is a must try. The service is quick friendly Food - Great Service - Friendly Ambience - Casual Worth the money - Hell yes read more

Conflicted on this review and will still try this restaurant again. This review is based on pizza alone and I was not able to eat it at the restaurant due to the pandemic. Staff was lovely on the phone and the delivery was pretty smooth. I am european and grew up near Italy so I am a bit picky about how pizzas are made. We ordered 4 margheritas on a Saturday night. For the price of the pizza, it was pretty small. The dough was not too bad but it was really hard to bite into it and was pretty chewy. It was not a bad pizza but nothing too special about it. I will still like to come back when we are able to come sit inside again but maybe next time I will order a pasta or something else on their menu. read more

I've only had take out here with my girlfriends. We ordered and our two pizzas and salad were ready for pick-up in 20 minutes. Paid and neighbourhood street parking is available. We ordered the Hawaiian, which had a twist on the traditional Hawaiian with some chopped up macadamia nuts - interesting but I think I like my Hawaiian sans nuts. The best pizza by far was the Funghi! Loaded with mushrooms and the truffle-oil i fused in was overwhelmingly intoxicating! Each bite got better and better with all its earthy, richness. The crust was thin yet had some chew to it as well. In the end, I would come back for this pizza over and over! Just a note, they cut the pizza into only four slices, so they were pretty wide - perfect since it was the four of sharing but if there were more, you'll need a knife. We also ordered an Arugula Salad, nothing too special but it was fresh and tasty. Overall, good crust but please come for the Funghi! read more

Had a very nice dinner here the other night! Very friendly service from the bartender. Had a great margarita to start. For dinner we had the burrata-beet salad and the Hawaiian pizza. Both were excellent! Hawaiian pizza was very unique with macadamia nuts on it, such a fun idea! Crust here is chewy and medium-thickness. Taking off one star because we didn't love the tiramisu we had for dessert, but maybe it was an off night. Will definitely come back here! read more

Mmm must come again. 2) Serrano ham pizza: not as good as the funghi pizza but still good. Thin crispy crust! 3) Hawaiian pizza: roasted pineapples, macadamia nuts. Yum! Best is still funghi read more

This is my favourite pizza place in town. It's a small place, but all the pizzas are made with distinctly fresh ingredients that you'll really appreciate. My favourite here is the funghi pizza, basically mushrooms in white sauce and truffle oil. I can't explain to you how amazing this one is - you must try it for yourself. We also ordered the Hawaiian and the Serrano Ham, both of which were good in that order. The Hawaiian is obviously not like the ones you can get from Pizza Hut, but much more refined. It's a little pricey for what it is at $19, but you're paying for that refinement and the use of quality ingredients. I'd say it's worth it. The Serrano Ham was also interesting. The ham was a little too salty, but it is balanced with the sweetness of the caramelized onions. I'd try something else next time though. Overall, the crust of each pizza was perfect in its thickness and bite. The service was prompt and there is even a patio now (it beats the heat of the pizza oven indoors!) I'm already a returning customer, and definitely will be returning soon. read more

Been here a few times now. The food and service is consistent. Food isdelicious and full of flavor. The service is quick, friendly and welcoming. I ordered the sausage and roasted fennel pizza. The sausage was juicy, the roasted fennel gave it a nice spring flavor and the arugula a hint of peppery taste. The place isn't too big, it has 2 high tables that can seat 8 people each and about 4 seats by the window so a total of 12 people. Its mostly for takeout as there is a constant stream of people picking up. read more

We decided on this place because it was 1. open 2. within walking from our Air BNB. And omgggg i could not rave enough about this place!

Next we got the Soppressata pizza & then quickly realized we needed another one and ordered The Carne and they were both amazing!! read more

Yummmmmmmy Pizzzzzzza!!!! ok this place maybe small but the offers up some mean pizza. After reading some reviews I knew what I was going to order before I even walked in the doors. I follow them on social media and been wanting to come check them out. I was out with a girlfriend and we were both craving pizza. Pretty cool small pizza joint. We walked in and no tables were available, we waited for about 10mins and we got lucky a couple left. The place seats maybe 20 people. Take out is an option but if you get lucky to dine in you get to enjoy your pizza in a pretty cool atmosphere. One friendly server working and two guys behind working hard making good food. We ordered Fungi and sausage and fennel. The crust is out of this world, I would eat that alone and olive oil and be happy. I loved the fungi with white sauce, creamy and the mushrooms are really tasty. The sausage and roasted fennel also came with white sauce topped with arugula. Also very tasty. I love the spicy oil you can add on top of your pizza. Both pizzas were under $20. They offer gluten free crust, and other appetizers, salads and desserts that I will have to try when I come back. read more

Kids wanted to have pizza instead of a seafood dinner that I suggested, well then. We don't want to drive to downtown, Yelp lead us to this good rating pizza restaurant in the east side of the city. I didn't have a high expectation, but the quality of the food was impressive. Fungi pizza was the most delicious, my house risotto was wonderful. Kids loved their Hawaiian pizza (Meh...) , Carne pizza was good but quite spicy. There's only one thing: Several young fellows were smoking pots on the street, just in front of the door, so it was not a good idea to bring kids there anyway. Again, foods were satisfactory. read more

The night we were here an article came out in the Georgia Street about Fraserhood area that omitted these guys despite them being one of pioneers 4 years ago. The fact is this area is becoming a real draw and Pizza Carano is dead centre in the South of King Ed" jurisdiction (the other being near Kingsway). The service was very hands on and friendly, explaining the whole place and concept. The food was good, the pizza I thought was going to be like just another Corduroy or Niccli pizza but the crust did stand out as different (more crunch, less dark burned parts). We actually ordered a pizza by mistake with no tomato sauce (I usually don't like non tomato based pizzas), but a testament to the recipe was that we still really enjoyed it and I changed my opinion of that a bit. Standard pricing for the more hipster places. Nice and cozy, perfect in Winter but I just plain like the location too,.. an area where you can still drive up, park for free and feel like you are in a sleepy neighbourhood, read more

The sauce on the pizza is very rich just like my Mama makes. The toppings are uber fresh and the flavour combinations are inspired. The Caesar salad was over the top amazing and completely made from scratch. My advice is try it all. Everything is delicious. You can pick up or order at the counter. Opening hours from 5 pm to 10 pm Tuesday to Saturday. Unfortunately they are closed Sundays and Mondays. read more

Mmm-magical! The best carpaccio accessible in this yoga town. Seriously, it's good. Razor-thin fresh beef tenderloin with a nice chimichurri drizzled on top + fresh arugula and sprinkles of grana padano cheese. It's melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness. I'm in *love* with the spicy coconut kale pizza! Who can I thank for this dream pizza? Oh wait, I'm sorry but I need to add meat to this pie. I need meat! I like to add sopressata, it works well with the spicy coconut kale combo - thank you for the suggestion oh-so-handsome Mark! This is Neopolitan-style pizza so it's not thick bready crap. The crust is tasty crispy goodness. They use these amazing cooling grills for each pizza plate that's delivered to the table, which keeps the pizza from turning to a sad wilted nothing. That bad man Trevor in the kitchen knows how to craft culinary pizza dreams. I really just want to eat this pizza every day. It's SO GOOD. I would like to give a massive props to Pizza Carano for existing, and being so cool and different - and having cool stools to sit on and wall hooks. Would be great to have under the table hooks for my purse. Carano is NOT your regular whatever pepperoni/hawaiian pizza joint. It's pretty special! Great place to unwind after work, eat some good pizza, drink a Moscow Mule and be happy. read more

This place is so cute. It's quite small but I kind of liked that. They only have high tables and stools which wasn't the most comfortable but that's besides the point. Because the pizza is delicious! I got the gluten free pizza special (with accommodations because I'm mostly dairy free too). The result was amazing. Probably the best gluten free crust I have had yet! The tomato sauce was extremely fresh and delicious. I had the spicy kale and artichoke creation without cheese, add parmesan! I crushed the whole thing! The service is also amazing! Our server, Mark, made sure to talk to every table! I will definitely come back! read more

First time in Vancouver, the ratings suggested Carano is solid. It is outstanding. Had the Funghi Pizza and Caesars Salad. Caesars has a nice zing of lemon, and rosemary in the croutons. Nice. Funghi Pizza rocked the house. Truffle oil spritzered on top made it outstanding. Highly recommend! Small place, family style seating. Excellent. Will be back when next in Vancouver. read more

I had high hopes for this pizza place but unfortunately I was disappointed. We got a quattro formaggi and a lemon dessert for takeout. Pizza was too salty and extremely oily. The lemon curd was way too sour and the biscuit tasted old. Physical distancing in the restaurant was minimal.

Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Taste: 10/10 Value : 9/10 We ordered the funghi, Serrano ham, and Hawaiian pizzas. My favourite was the funghi pizza because it was so flavourful! There was a strong smell and taste of truffle oil. The pizza is always cooked to perfection, and the crust is thin and easy to eat. The Hawaiian was my second favourite from that night, the pineapple was sweet and the prosciutto was good. The Serrano ham was also good, they had roasted pistachios on top which was interesting. I am definitely coming back to try more of their other pizzas. I also recommend sitting outside (or doing take out) during the summer times as it gets quite warm inside the restaurant. If dining in, order one pizza at a time so it doesn't get cold. read more

Friendly service and delicious and authentic pizza. Boy am I ever glad this pizza joint is in my hood. Never will I order from a chain pizza restaurant again! Well, that's not true, since I can be lazy, and Pizza Carano doesn't deliver:( I ordered the Funghi to go. It had a nice earthy flavor from the mushrooms. The dough was nice and chewy in the middle and had a perfectly crisp crust. The quality and freshness of ingredients was definitely present. I felt full after only two slices. Washed it down with some white wine I bought at the liquor store down the street. +1 star for being so close to the liquor store:) The gentleman who greeted me at the door was very upbeat, friendly and funny. I like this place! read more
