Great pizza spot. Worth the visit. Took the kids there for lunch while visiting Victoria and was worth the long walk from downtown. Great service and recommendations from the waiter on pizza choice. Recommend going there if craving some pizza. read more

Pizzeria Prima Strada - Wood fired oven that births delicious - Pizza Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This was a nice pizzeria for quick eats. I love a wood fired pizza and this one was pretty good. I went with pepperoni and added chili oil.It was good but I wish I asked to add oregano or some other seasonings. My favorite item from this trip was the blueberry basil soda. I regret not buying the syrup to bring home. Also- staff, super friendly and attentive. I'd try them again but would probably go with one of the daily specials next time. It was sold out, so it must be pretty good. read more

Good food, great coffee, great service. We sut outside as we had a dog with us. One star less, because parmesan wasn't on our pasta, which we thought it's very strange and was not an olive, oil I would like to put on my pizza. The server was very pleasant. We would be back for some more experience. read more

Pizzeria Prima Strada - We did enjoyed our evening! - Pizza Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Stopped here in desperation with my kids on a Victoria trip - my picky daughter was starving to death on foodie-heaven Vic! They seated us right away. Drinks and food came promptly. Ambiance was cozy and warm. The pizza was DELICIOUS. My kids don't usually like wood-fired style, but they gobbled it up. Picky daughter got the kids pasta and devoured it! We also got gelato for dessert - amazing! The only gripe I have is I ordered a cocktail and it was WEAK. But overall this place is a gem and I would come back! read more

I've eaten here several times The service and pizzas are great. My favorite is the funghi. The prosciutto and mozzarella plate is delicious too. I would skip the insalata. $16 is steep for a large plate of lettuce with sprinkled cheese. The serving is too big and challenging to eat without getting it all over the table. I'd suggest they half the serving and price or add different veggies to make it of value. read more

Incredible pizza. I can't believe how much tomato sauce can be put on a woodfired pizza and pie not be soggy. It's cooked through, crispy on the bottom and extra crunchy on the crust. We loved Diavolo pie with salami, mozzarella, parmigiano, red onion and homemade tomato sauce - tomatoes from a local farm. Added chili oil to take the spice level up. With a Driftwood Fat Tug IPA - this was a great combination. I'm nominating this pizza for a James Beard award, oops, that's a USA thing! Eh! Oh Victoria! Luv ya'all pizza! read more

Another one of my favorite spots in Victoria--I wish I could eat here every day! I'm obsessed with their pizzas, meatballs, and salads. The dough, the crust, and everything about it is just perfect. You can't go wrong with any pizza or calzone. It's great for takeout, but dining in is super cute with the cozy, romantic vibes and their fake pizza oven. It's so authentic, and there's nothing else like it. Seriously good pizza! read more

Everything about pizzeria Prima Strada was wonderful! Our whole family was on vacation and we stopped there for lunch. My Grandaughter loved the pizza! We also loved the beets salad, the service was awesome. The drinks were great and the ambience perfect. If we ever vacation again in British Columbia, we will be returning to pizzeria Prima Strada read more

My husband and I came here on a date night. We were staying from out of town and weren't sure what to expect. We were so happy to have a fabulous experience from the wine to the pizza to the dessert and even the incredible service. We sat at the bar which was so fun as you can watch the food staff create the beautiful pizzas and pull them out of the wood fired oven. This is a small restaurant with limited seating but we didn't have a hard time walking in without a reservation on a Saturday night. We ordered an Italian bottle of wine per the waitresses recommendation and the insalata della casa to start. This salad was STUNNING. The dressing was drinkable and the greens were so fresh and crumchy with a dusting of parmigiano all over. When the pizza arrived the crust was crispy with bits of char (not too little, not too much) and the toppings were perfectly balanced. We ordered a margherita as well as the pizza special at the time. To finish our lovely meal we had a scoop of gelato each which was perfect, creamy, and not too sweet. Would absolutely love to come back when we are in the area! read more

If you love pizzas and are craving for delicious pizzas, Prima Strada is the spot to be! In my opinion, it serves the best wood-fired pizzas in Victoria! Period! You need to go! The pizzas are phenomenal - the tomato sauce and dough are just perfect, creating a delicious combination of flavours. I appreciated the ambiance as well. Great vibes! The service was great, and I loved watching the pizzas being made in the wood-fired oven. We had the Funghi & Margherita Pizzas and they were excellent! We shall return, and we highly recommend this place to anyone who loves delectable and , authentic wood-fired pizzas. In addition, they now sell frozen pizzas and other Italian foods to go which is great for you to enjoy at home. I didn't buy any but I shall return for their fresh pizzas as it's the best. You will not be disappointed! read more

Authentic Neapolitan style pizza. Tasty. Got the insalata della casa, pepperoni and funghi supremo. All very good. I'd go back again.

I love everything about Pizzeria Prima Strada!! The pizza tastes delicious and I always enjoy eating here!!

We were craving pizza during one of our nights in Victoria and a Yelp search led us to Pizzeria Prima Strada. We got takeout and even on a weekend, service was super quick - about 10 minutes from ordering to pickup. Pizza was fresh and with good flavour! We got the Panne e pancetta and the only complaint I have is that I wished there was more meat. Great place for pizza in Victoria! read more

Pizzeria Prima Strada - Panne e pancetta - Pizza Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Staff was nice but the pizza was subpar. The sauce is too watery and not the best taste. The crust is also too soggy as a result.

Interesting! Picking up a piece was reminiscent of a limp d__k! Undercooked, soggy dough with no pizzazz! Green salad was just that.. a plate of greens with a bit of cheese over the top. Dressing needed a bit of help, consistency of glue. Beer was good which elevated the rating from one to three stars. Try harder read more

Was not too impressed with the pizza- including the crust and the toppings. Very average pizza. Would not come back soon.

Super-enjoyable meal! Service lagged slightly at the end of the evening, but we could have requested the bill sooner if we really needed (or wanted) to leave. Comfortable and contemporary interior around a charming wood-fired oven. Friendly staff. Superb food. Highly recommend! read more

Almost died here, and not because the thin crust pizza is to die for. Had what appeared to be a heart attack and they were nothing but kind and helpful. Going as far to get on the line with 9-1-1 and ask me questions about my eyesight and what year it was. They were nothing but friendly and the pizza, which they gave to me for free, was delicious. Ate it in the hospital and I was rather satisfied. The ambiance was lovely as my vision and hearing slowly began to fade. Appreciated the dim lighting. read more

The food was extremely delicious. Our kids split the Bambino and two adults split the Salsiccia Piccante. Just the right amount of food for a lunch. The server was very nice and allowed our kids to watch from the counter while their gelatos were made. The basil pesto sauce is a must! read more

We sat at the bar facing the expert staff make pizza after pizza. It was so cool to watch the efficient dance and interleaving of clearly skilled folks. Pizza was tasty. The house salad was simple but great! Decent beer selection which was very cold when served. Great on a hot day. We did not succumb to the temptation of the Nutella calzone but the family next to us did. :-) read more

One of the hardest parts of running a great pizza place is: 1) finding a good dough recipe 2) finding a good brick oven to cook it in 3) finding someone who can cook #1 in #2 Prima Strada has done it. The guy working the oven knew what he was doing and seemed to love doing it. The dough was perfect on the bottom without being burnt. All of the toppings were evenly spread and overall it was a lovely meal. If we're back in the area, I'm sure we'll be returning here. read more

We had the insalata della casa salad, it was fresh tasting, the honey balsamic dressing really good. Also had the margherita pizza with pepperoni. The peporoni was a bit salty but the pizza was great! We also had the house chili oil which we poured on the pizza. Yum, so good! Four stars because service was s l o w ! But the outside ambiance was great, people and fig watching was great! read more

More like 3.5 stars. The pizza is good. Your fingers trace the flour on the bottom of the crust. The oven marks leave character. The flavors are fresh. The sauce is good. I would just add a little more cheese please. The thing about is going to a restaurant is customer service makes all the difference when you feel like paying money to be fed versus just cooking at home. AMIRITE? It took our server a long time to take our drink order and then a long time again to come around for our pizza order. After the pizza came she realized she needed to bring us some plates before our food got cold. I feel like we were the rotten stepchild table that she would much rather neglect. My drink was fine but nothing spectacular. I wish she came 'round again and checked on us more so we could settle in here. It's annoying to wait for this and then wait for that and then wait some more when all you want to do is eat. Other than that; it's a great place. read more

Delicious pizzeria. The crust was cooked to perfection and nice and thin. The cheese was good quality as well as the other ingredients. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 was that the pepperoni wasn't very good. It was very thick and fatty. Overall great place. Fort street location is great for kids too. read more

Overall our group enjoyed Pizzeria Prima Strada. The location was nice with both indoor and outdoor seating for small groups. The interior is fun with tables and bar seating that overlooks the pizza prep area and oven. We ordered 4 pizzas and were glad we got a variety since the pizzas we thought we were going to like ended up actually being our least favorite. We all unanimously agreed that the pepperoni was our least favorite. While the dough, sauce and cheese were great, the meat tasted like a hot dog. Nothing close to traditional pepperoni. The flavor of the meat alone ruined the pizza. Our top favorite was the Diavolo with the spicy calabrese and onion. This is the flavor we were expecting out of the pepperoni. A fantastic and delicious pizza. We also ordered the pancetta and arugla which we thought needed some slight dressing on the greens, and the sausage and red pepper. The sausage pizza was on the sweet side which I didn't enjoy that much, but half of our group liked it a lot. Service was good but the original estimated wait time was off and we ended up waiting longer. read more

My favourite place for a nice dine in experience. Every flavour pizza we've tried so far has been excellent, with nice wood fired thin crust, high quality toppings, and great flavour combinations. We also regularly order the appetizer plate with bread, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and olives and it's a great start to the meal. It's bustling, and usually pretty busy, but worth the wait. You can also sit at the counter and watch the experts make the pizzas if you like. Friendly service, haven't been disappointed yet! read more

We went here recently for our wedding anniversary. Billy had been before but I hadn't and when he suggested pizza, I was kinda like meh. I was pleasantly surprised! It's really nice and cozy inside. Causal yet classy. The waiter was really nice - he gave us two glasses of delicious and local sparkling wine for our anniversary. We ordered the meatballs and bread for an appy- they were huge and full of flavour. We ordered two pizzas which are made in a wood fired oven, in case you didn't already know. So thin crust with a nice flavour. One was the Diavola and was spicy with a red sauce. The other was the chicken pizza with the cream sauce and smoked mozzarella. That was my absolute fave!!! So yummy!! We also had a couple local beer. Great date spot!! Can't wait to go back! read more

Fabulous food! Fabulous atmosphere!! Fabulous service!!! In spite of being SUPER BUSY, we loved this restaurant. Ate so fast, forgot to snap pics of our pizza. Four of us each ordered a different one to share. If your on foot, it's a lovely walk from downtown, and worth it. We were definitely hungry when we arrived. read more

I'm sure there must be better pizza places in the area. While the service was friendly, the rest of our experience was not good. The pizza here is sub-par. Crust was soggy, tasty was pretty bland and it was not even hot by the time it got to us. Worse than that though are the limitations the place puts on their "customers". They don't do split pizzas, many of the pizzas listed have "no substitutions", did you want crushed red pepper on the pizza before they cook it? Nope, "it's on the table". Fresh tomato slices available? Nope. And you pay for all extras, including if you ask for Parmesan (which is generally on the table for free at pizza places), you pay $3 CAD for literally less than on ounce of what appears to be Kraft grated Parmesan. Sad that the folks have to call this a good pizza place!! read more

Had the opportunity to try some Neapolitan pizza during our day trip to Victoria. The service and atmosphere was great. It's located in a less tourist area and didn't have to wait although expecting a line at 730pm on a Sunday. We ordered the red lager, blueberry soda, bruschetta caprese app, calzone and funghi pizza. Both calzone and pizza were a little undercooked by none the less decent pizza. I think we were starving and at that point would even eat anything even if a little undercooked. I would recommend asking them to cook the pizza a little more in the oven than usual because after looking at the photos noticed that majority of their pizza photos were a tad bit undercooked. All in all, I would recommend this place. read more

Very nice dinner here late on a Saturday night. No wait for a table around 8.30PM. Friendly, comfortable atmosphere (other than it being pretty warm inside). Got the carne pizza and the verde (olives, basil, mushrooms, artichoke hearts). I found the verde a bit of a miss - lots going on and the mushrooms were button mushrooms cut into big pieces - not great flavour and kind of hard to eat. Really enjoyed the carne though - ham, fennel sausage, pepperoni - great quality of meats. Crust itself was excellent, loved the chewiness. Very friendly service and fast, too. Great pizza spot! read more

When you walk in and see a nice big stone pizza oven, your expectations are already set pretty high. And you won't be disappointed. Pizza is NOT American cuisine. It's NOT meant to have caked cheese-like goo holding it together, and it should NOT come with free cinnamon rolls, a dried crust or a 6 pack of pop. And keep your deep-dish, Chicago... we want our crust thin like (insert waif like super model name here). And Prima Strada knows this. The pizzas we ordered (Diavola and Pepperoni) were as they should be. Soft in the middle, a bit crisp on the outside, and topped with just the right mix of ingredients; Spicy where they needed to be, fresh as they come. I'd go back. Heck yah. read more

Pizzeria Prima Strada - My pizza's going into the oven! - Pizza Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

My favourite pizzeria on the island, hands down. I have been addicted to Primastrada's deliciously stretchy dough, baked to smoky perfection for about 5 years now. It's a bit of a problem...a delight So we have gone over the dough. Caputo flour 00, the real deal. Next, the tomato sauce is juicy and tastes noticeably fresher than most pizzerias'. Add your favorite toppings, and watch your pizza get baked in their hand-crafted forno (oven). They even imported the bricks to build it from Italy. If you are looking for a smoky, thin-crust slice of perfection, welcome. In terms of favorites, I'm sure all the pies are incredible, but I have a personal affliction for the rucola e crudo - parmaggiano reggiano, proscuitto and arugula. The diavola is also incredible if you like a little spice, topped with hot pepperoni and thinly sliced red onions. Pizza heaven. read more

Pizzeria Prima Strada - The rucola e crudo. If I could marry this pizza, I would - Pizza Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

Honestly best pizza I've ever had. Maybe I don't have a huge breadth of experience trying different pizzas but from what I have tasted, this one demolished all others. We kept it simple with one pepperoni and one housemade fennel sausage and they both were fantastic! The best thing for me personally about these pies was the focus on the well seasoned and perfectly balanced sauce. Time and time again, it seems like so many pizzas are drowned in too much cheese and too many toppings so when you take a bite, you just have this bland taste of too many things in your mouth and it just isn't satisfying. Here though, the cheese and toppings complimented the pizza instead of overpowering it so I was able to really savor that wonderful sauce while still enjoying just the right amount of mozzarella paired with the pepperoni/fennel sausage. And speaking of the toppings, both were fresh and exceptional. Thick cuts of pepperoni and good sized chunks of fennel sausage made it one for the taste buds and one for the books. Sometimes more is not better and these guys nailed it when it comes to pizza. Our waiter was also incredibly kind and easy going while answering our questions as it was our first time dining here. Warm atmosphere, kind people, delicious pizzas. Can't ask for much more than that. Highly recommend eating here, even if you have to wait. We had a 45 minute wait but it was so worth it! read more
