Cool place! Nice and open seating with lots of natural lighting. Service was lovely! Ordered the antipasto plater to start which states that it feeds two people but easily fed all three of us. Ordered a Otto pizza and it was amazing! We've never had pizza crust so good! Crisp but chewy all at once! And the fresh toppings were just perfect! We had the Italian doughnuts for desert... I don't have words actually! THEY WERE TO DIE FOR!! I would strongly recommend this little place for business lunches to date nights and even family get togethers! If I had one suggestion for them it would be to offer the Doughnut Desert to start and finish the meal!! Nothing bad to say :) read more

I would be very careful not to assume the PZA Parlour on Macleod Trail SW is related by ownership to the one on Sirocco Drive (even though they have the same name and the Sirocco Drive location is using/posting the same website). I went to pickup my Skip the Dishes order 6:07pm the other night but there was no such restaurant at the address. No one answered the phone number (which I might add wasn't even on Skip; I had to track it down on Door Dash). I contacted Skip customer service which was atrocious (took 95 minutes to resolve, all I asked the agent for was to give me the phone number to the restaurant so I could find out where they were, nope they couldn't, they must have tried finding it ok their database but realized it wasn't on file). 2.5 hours later I get a call from a Manitoba area code asking if I am coming to get my pizza. Seriously. SMH ;/ So PZA Parlour Macleod maybe serve them with a cease & desist using your trade name (if it's registered). read more

Great PZA‼ Little over priced compared to comparable restaurants with the same quality product. Fresh pineapple is way better than the canned at all others. Chairs are noisy scraping along the tiled floor. Needs an overhaul on the vibe, cold and noisy... Definitely recommend the PZA except the price, don't recommend the meatballs or the calamari at all... read more

This place is generally a good pizza restaurant. The service is great and they have a lot of great recommendations. My server did recommend pineapple on my Pizza which was a great idea so I said yes however I have a feeling the kitchen forgot to put pineapples in my pizza so they just stuck pineapples at the top towards the end and charge me $3 for it. I think the pizza would have tasted so much better if the pineapple was cooked in the pizza with all the other toppings. Rather than putting it at the top. Other than that we enjoyed our pizzas. Just a heads up, the restaurant really likes to upsell you. They have so many recommendations, and they were really pushy which we didn't appreciate. Just a heads up. read more

This pizza joint was adequate in that the pizza was enjoyable, the ambiance was comfortable and relaxing. Service was cordial and unrushed. Yes, I will return at the next opportunity. It was a challenge to carry on a conversation across the rather large table (a table for four). I observed that all tables were somewhat large. read more

Visited this place two times, the first time we received excellent food and service. The second time was the exact opposite, the restaurant was 'under new management' our waiter told us, which should have been a red flag I guess... We ordered identical food both times, Pepperoni Pizza and Chicken Alfredo. This review covers the second visit. The Chicken Alfredo was left under a heat lamp long enough to make the pasta tough and chewy and to let the butter separate from the sauce, for this to happen it takes quite a while, extremely disappointing dish to say the least. The pepperoni pizza was so greasy that it was almost impossible to pick each slice up and we had to use two hands just to hold each tiny slice. I had to ask for extra napkins to sop up all the grease. It took so long for the pizza to arrive that we could not even send it back as we had another appointment later that day. The crazy thing is, there were only a few other tables with customers in the restaurant as it was mid-afternoon, around 2:30pm, when we arrived. I read about pasta sauce separating like that (runny butter at the bottom of the bowl) and found out it takes an unusually long time for it to happen. So, either they reheated a plate that was made the day before or it sat under the heat lamp for almost an hour. Either way, I would rather eat my own shoe than attempt to eat that pasta again. Terrible food and horrible service, then, to top it off, the waiter actually complained about his 10% tip, which I always give as a base tip and add to it only if the food and/or service is exceptional. (The first visit we tipped 25% which is extremely generous) read more

Arrived but was not as pleasing as in the past. Calamari was cold and mushy not crisp. Carbonara was one big chunk of noodles all glued together. 1/2 bread paid for with the carbonara as an extra fee wasn't there. Were they rushed? Was the portion size smaller since last time (yes). read more

I have been to this restaruant several time and the food and service are great. My comment is on the chairs. They are the worst, most uncomfortable chairs ever!! they are metal, hard, and shaped oddly to cause discomfort. it is so bad my frinends and i talk about it and have agreed this would stop us from going there. Please update your chairs!!! read more

I have been here many times for get togethers with friends, my cousins birthdays, etc. One time I especially remember coming here was in February for the Hot Chocolate competition in Calgary and they had a delicious hot chocolate! This year they also had a booth at "Taste of Calgary". At "taste of calgary" they had: - Pancetta Frites - Arancini - Ciambelle It was all very delicious! read more

Beautiful new restaurant in the South just off Macleod Trail that screams modern but offers hints of nostalgia everywhere. The word PZA is a fun and creative play on the word pizza, parlour plays homage to the owners childhood spent with his Nonna and her passion for pizza. Since we were in the south (around the corner) for an appointment, we stopped in for lunch. Wanted to check it out and try the pizza. Always looking for new pizza places to love. They offer a large selection of pizzas available in two sizes. Plus salads, entrees and other bites if pizza is not your thing. They tell me everything is house made including Ciambelle (deep fried doughnuts) which were super delicious - get the doughnuts!! An espresso machine allows you to finish your meal with an espresso, latte or cappuccino if you so desire. We enjoyed our experience, the service was great and we will definitely be stopping by again in the near future. read more

With all the extremely mixed reviews we've read we thought we would give PZA a try and find out for ourselves. Interior is white and bright and appears clean. Our server (Tyler) was extremely pleasant as was the server working at the table behind us. Food quality was extremely good. We had Johnny G pizza, kids cheese pizza and Caesar salad. All were very good. I'm particular with Caesar salads and I'd definitely reorder it. My husband and kids all loved the pizza. The crust was excellent ( light and airy) and toppings plentiful. When we are in the mood for pizza and don't want takeout this will be our spot. read more

Well here goes. The service here IS in fact, not top notch. It's a laid back environment and I kind of dig it. We got two pizzas that turned out really good. Subtle flavour and nicely balanced. It's not Pizza Hut so the idiots in the previous reviews should refrain from voicing their half assed opinions. Everything was well cooked, balanced and fresh. The beer on tap was also great. No dirty lines here. Worthy of note is that the 'barista' here needs a crash course on the difference between a latte and a cappuccino. I can be discerning at the best of times, but when a waitress tries to tell me 'that's how we do it here", it's very difficult for me not to lose my shit and start hulk smashing structural walls. As luck would have it after sending back my bubble bath latte, the manager discretely rolled up his sleeve and made a proper beverage. A good flogging occurred of the bartender that made the original disaster, and all agreed a training session and 10 hail Mary's were in order. Nice save. All in all I would return. They have a good sense of humour and the good is good from what I've seen. The Nutella doughnuts will blow your fucking mind. Enjoy your coffee. read more

This place has great potential! I love the interior and feel of the place. But it needs improvement in several areas, the biggest one being the pizza. I came here with my family. We all ordered our own pizza. I got the "Not so Vegan". I was very impressed with the variety of pizza there was to choose from. I love a pizza that looks like it came straight out of a vegetable garden, which the NsV did. Unfortunately the pizza itself was missing something. The crust seemed to taste as though it was previously frozen. And the sauce was really bland. Like most of these modern Italian pizza restaurants, they only have chili oil. I would have loved some sriracha or even tabasco to add some flavour which it desperately needed. One thing that was a bit strange to me is that it costs the same to add any extra toppings to your pizza. So adding spinach is the same as adding shrimp. That doesn't really add up. It would be awesome to see them lower the price for adding veggie toppings. Service was just OK. I get that it's a new place so it's understandable. Server seemed like she was new to the industry. She didn't know the specials and was very unaware of us. It was a struggle to get the bill. The chairs were fairly uncomfortable. And with the high tables there's no where to put your bags. I had mine hanging on my knee for dinner. Not a huge issue, but it would be awesome if they installed some bag hooks on the table. In short, the biggest improvement PZA needs to make is adding flavour or "pizzazz" to their pizza. Or at least get some hot sauce, it might not be "that kind of restaurant" to do so, but who cares. If it makes customers happy why wouldn't you? read more

Ive come in to here two times now first time was good, second time was awful, the first time the food was on time it was good the pizza is very greasy though the Alfredo was on point, second time they waited for the Pizza to cook and just left the Alfredo on the counter! Second pizza was literally soup so I would recommend if you like New York style greasy pizza but otherwise no don't recommend. read more

Best pizza in town, it is incredible and cooked to perfection. The salads are amazing also. The gluten-free pizza is good, but the regular pizza crust is even better. Great atmosphere. read more

Great family owned Italian restaurant. The food is so fresh. Amazing pizza & pastas. This place is huge so it's been great for large parties and the patio is great in the summer time ! read more

Grabbed pizza on the way home tonight after work. They were not too busy in the restaurant as people are probably figuring out Covid-19. We got salads and two pies to take home. They were both killer. Mozzarella had that perfect snappy bite and the crust was super light and airy. Totally nailed it tonight. read more

Ordered the tre... it was tre bien! Perfect amount of pep on the pizza..I could taste and see the melting cheese...the crust was super light yet crunchy. So far the best pizza in Calgary. If anyone has a better recommendation plz let me know. I sat at the bar, bartender was super friendly and on point... NOT annoying.. I was the only person at the bar btw so it's not hard to spot any needs I had. Overall this is my goto for a pizza fix. Thanks, and I'll be back! read more

Came here after work to celebrate a work colleague's retirement. I had the not-so-vegan pizza, and while I really enjoyed the variety of veggies (hello yummy olives!!), the tasty crust was a bit thicker than my preference. I got over it because the toppings were fantastic. We were in the private room and it actually was very loud, with music from the restaurant filtering in and overpowering any speeches. Service was great and staff were very attentive. If I was in the area again, I would consider returning to try other options and giving this place more chances to impress. read more

We stopped in for lunch and sat at the bar while out doing errands, we live in the area and my boyfriend would list pizza as his favourite food, mine would probably be beer. He had the prosciutto arugula pizza, it looked awesome (as a former chef I'd say I've never seen arugula so green and fresh). I opted for a bottle of Sofie, the Belgian style ale, one of their specialty beers (765mL, but I still get to say I only had 1 ;) Nice smooth beer, great pick for lunch. I've been here once last week with a girlfriend of mine but we only shared a bottle of nice wine because we had already eaten. The restaurant is cool, herbs on the wall, Vespa in the middle of the bar to hold the alcohol, owner stops to make sure food was good, and hockey on the tv. I'll come back to any place that has great beer, food, great service, and plays sports. read more

Tried this pizza restaurant on the weekend. The atmosphere is very Italian, with some interesting decor going on. My wife and I ordered an appetizer of bruschetta. It was excellent!!! We each ordered a single pizza, my wife ordered the "DUO" (ham, pineapple, tomato sauce and mozzarella ) and I had the "PEI Wedding" (lobster, potato, charred corn, caramelized onions, beschemel, mozzarella and truffle oil). Both were the small (10") and were also excellent. They have some other pizzas with some very interesting combinations. We highly recommend this restaurant and will return in the future!!! read more

Stopped in here on a drive by as was rush hour and better having dinner then on road. Nice atmosphere and staff menu is what they promote: pizza and pasta. Staff is friendly and attentive. I had the veal parmigiana which was a disappointment (description was better than meal) wife had the cannelloni and enjoyed it. Overall average. Highlight was the house Sangiovese great value and good! read more

I come from a city that is known for making great pizza, so when I moved to Alberta I started looking for a great pie. My search has been going on for apx 3 years and I never found anything great till now! PZA makes a great tasting pizza, my wife and I both loved the pie and the appatizer (house made sausage with caramalized onions) was great. This is the first great pizza we have found in Alberta ( from Ft Mac to Calgary and everywhere between). We will be eating here again, and highly recomend it. read more

It is what my Italian friend calls "mungiacake Italian", or mock Italian. So, if you are looking for a true Italian experience look elsewhere. Now, let's start with the decor. The space is nicely decorated, and has a nice patio and bar. The staff were fine, but rather uninspired. On the plus side, PZA did have Moretti - a nice Italian beer. The pizza was solid, but not exceptional. It was closer to Domino's than true Italian pizza. Better pie is nearby at Il Centro. My wife has the veal parmigiana and did not care for it. She is not a picky eater, and the dish did not look that appealing. So all in all, a nice setting but the food is so so. PZA is relatively new, so it has the opportunity to improve and may well do so. read more

First you lure me in with a restaurant name that contains letters used in pizza. Then you trick me into drinking a tasty Italian beer meant to appeal to my love of pizza again. Peroni beer? Peroooni. Pepperoni? I'll have 10! The pizza was tasty, but the chili oil really topped it off. Great addition to the 'pie'. Service was good, location is good. The decor was sleek modern, which doesn't tickle my fancy, but it was clean. read more

So the lady and I decided to do something spontaneous and drive to look for somewhere to eat, no plans, no expectations, just one mission, food. We drove down Mcleod trail to see the new PZA lit sign and said, hey we'll give it a shot! Upon entry, we found the place to be clean, modern, and have the feel of eating outside in a beautiful picnic setting, all INDOORS. The details of the environment were vast, and I was happy to take it all in. The server greeted us, and was soft and eloquent, I felt she was sincere and happy to take our order. Have to admit it's been a while since I had top notch customer service. Funny how great service can make or break a place (or review), she was amazing with checkin on us, making polite conversation, and being knowledgeable. The food, here's the important part. We ordered the Portobello appetizer, which was grilled to perfection and in a butter cream sauce that really woke up my palette. We ordered the Johnny G pizza I believe, and on first glance you can't really judge a pizza since they all look relatively the same. I was underwhelmed when it came to my table as the small was 9 inches, and I can eat that in my sleep (I thought), and maybe I was hoping the pizza was going to look different, in my head I was thinking "meh". We had our first bite, and well, at this point my lady and I actually made eye contact and had a moment of selfishness, where we were contemplating who can eat faster and get more of it since it was incredibly good. The ingredients tasted fresh, the sauce was the perfect amount, and this "dry" crust that I've read in other reviews, well, I had no issues. We saved a bit of room for dessert as we have a sweet tooth, and while I can ALWAYS finish my dessert, we ordered the LOVE cake and it defeated us. It should't be called the LOVE cake, it should be called the BATTLE cake if you're sharing because like the pizza, we were politely but rigorously alternating forkfuls into our mouths. I remembered to write this review today because I literally just finished my leftovers of that same 9 inch that fed us last night and relived the glory. This place is a family eatery by day and a modern young professional's meeting place for drinks and good light food by night. I will definitely be back this week to continue to stress test the establishment by trying other menu items. I have a feeling they will not disappoint on subsequent visits and am enthused to watch the neighbourhood jump on the PZA bandwagon. Well done PZA, you've scored a top spot in my fave places to eat at. Whether you remain there will be up to you when I come next! :) read more

Great addition to the neighbourhood! The space is beautiful, the service was great and (most importantly) the food was delicious and interesting. Highly recommend: 1. Bruschetta pizza - Really flavorful while still light and summery 2. Spinaci salad - Great mix of textures and flavors. It's a salad that's actually worth ordering 3. Gio pizza - Pear and gorgonzola... lots of gorgonzola. Blue cheese lovers rejoice! Blue cheese haters beware. I want to recommend the Ciambelle doughnuts but if you're like me and have zero willpower around hot, fresh delicious doughnuts then you'll probably eat the whole order yourself and have to live with the regret (ugh.. too delicious to resist). read more

Service was very good, but after having this recommended to us, we wondered why. It was ok, but not great

We ordered delivery from here, and were really happy to have the option of some quality pizza for delivery near us. It arrived promptly and was excellent quality. We ordered the super fun ghi, tre diavoli, and the dieci. They did warn us that the Tre Diavoli is quite hot, but we eat food with a lot of heat regularly so I figured we would be fine. We were not, and ordering it was a huge mistake. Neither my husband nor I could finish one piece, and it was truly horrible. I question whether there is anybody out there that would enjoy this pizza as it was so hot that there wasn't a discernible flavour. It felt more like the type of gimmick a cheap bar would have for a wing night than a dish constructed to taste good. The other two pizzas were lovely though! read more

Want a great patio and delicious food and drinks (specifically the spritzers)? It's a good gem with a great location. Pizza feeds 4-5 'big kids' perfectly. Salads are great too if you aren't concerned about making friends. The decor makes you feel like you are outside which on a rainy day helps with the blues (but drinks do that too). Give it a try! read more

Great pizza and Caesar salad and an awesome patio as well as staff. I have been twice and two great experiences. I think they are working on bringing more IPAs on tap to enjoy. Definitely check it out read more

My boyfriend and I split a small pizza and a pasta and had food to take home! Both were extremely good despite not sounding like we'd totally love it from the menu descriptions. We happened to come on a day where the special was half off pasta (I think it was a Tuesday or Wednesday) and the Alfredo with spinach pasta was one of the more amazing pastas we have ever tried. It's not too heavy and since coming here this first time, I've come back and ordered the Alfredo just for myself, no sharing this time! The pizza we had was the 'Sei' it had ham, sausage and salami. They DO NOT skimp on the toppings! I actually had to pull some off because there was just so much meat. The focaccia bread is very good but I say skip that and save room for your regular food. My only reason for knocking off a star was because the wait staff leaves you alone, and I mean really really leaves you alone. At times it was hard to get the bill, or a box for our food. They were still very nice but it would be better to not have to sit around and hope you see your waiter around. Definitely going back, and definitely not sharing read more
