Well... we went to pick up pizza for dinner coming from Banff. We ordered to go. Quoted 15 minutes for pizzas. Definitely took longer than 15 minutes. And. Unfortunately. It looks like the pizza was done in 10 minutes. I'm just wondering where we went wrong. Less than a dozen customers. Somehow the pizza was burnt around the edges. Maybe it just wasn't our night. read more

Rocket Pie - Caprio-something. Actually. Looking at this one. It seems burnt in the same upper left. Maybe an oven issue? - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

This restaurant is a great choice for Neapolitan style pizza. The service was very fast and friendly. We ordered the vegetarian capricciosa pizza. The crust was thin and crisp, the sauce was flavourful, and both the quality and quantity of the vegetables was excellent. I like spice, so I added some chili oil to enhance the flavour of my pizza. read more

A spacious pizza place with functional decor and a view of the ovens, should you wish. I ordered their Marinara with anchovies as a paid topping. Service was great. They didn't have the beer I wanted, so they substituted a more premium brand for the lower cost. Also very friendly. The pizza was thin crust, not Neapolitan. The garlic confit added a nice subtle flavor. The crust itself had a good chew and a heartier taste than I've had with other places. The tomato sauce was rich and savory. The anchovies gave a nice unami and salt kick, without making it too salty. However, I didn't really see or taste the advertised oregano. But i liked their house chili oil, floral and not too spicy. Price was decent. I would definitely return the next time I am being a tourist. read more

Continuing our search of good pizza in Banff/Canmore, we decided to try rocket pie while exploring downtown Canmore. The restaurant has the fast casual vibe and recycles used San Marzano tomato cans as pizza stand which I found pretty smart and cute. We got the Diavola pizza to-go. The pizza was made to order and took about 25 mins. At first glance, the crust is not as airy as what you'd expect for a Neapolitan pizza, and our first bite confirmed the suspicion. While the flavor of the topping was solid, the texture of the dough is closer to a bar pie or chains, and the undercarriage had a bit too much char for my liking. Given the price point is the same as other nice sit down restaurants with 5 star pizzas in Banff, Rocket Pie is not quite worth it. read more

Rocket Pie - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

We were hanging around Canmore, walking the local downtown area and decided to try Rocket Pie for dinner based on the reviews and few available options in town. We got one of their pizza's to go; for $27 CAD, it was a bit below expectations. We came in to place the takeout order and it took around 25 minutes to get our food; this is good because it means it was cooked to order (like it should be for a pizza spot). Just this week, we've tried pizza pies at Pizzeria Sophia and Lupo (both located in downtown Banff) at roughly the same price point. In terms of quality of the ingredients and the level of crust/ dough, this was the weakest of the grouping considering all three spots target the more gourmet level of pie. The dough at Rocket pie was a bit disappointing and closer to a chain pizza dough than a 00 flour Neapolitan style dough and crust that you'll expect from a gourmet pizza spot with a legit oven. Not sure how to describe it but the dough tasted more pre-made than a freshly done Neapolitan style crust. The toppings were fine and the red sauce was pretty good. But again, comparing apples to apples and since the price point is about the same, we were expecting a bit more from the pizza. read more

Yelp says they close at 9 PM, but I'm glad I called. They actually close at 10 PM. Great service, casual vibes, I love that they do half orders of salad. Unfortunately, I don't think the pizzas are consistent since our pizza looked nothing like the photos on Yelp. (See photo). read more

Rocket Pie - Our dough was sad. - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Stayed walking distance from Rocket Pie while we were in Canmore! Loved everything we had here! The kale caesar was great! And the pizzas were fantastic! Crust was perfect, sauce was spot on and toppings were fresh! My son and I loved the Margherita! The fiance loved his funghi and we also ordered a pepperoni for the 3 of us! Pepperoni was filled with lots of pepperonis on top; they really don't skimp on ingredients or toppings! We over ordered for 2 adults and a toddler but hey, YOLO! We were stuffed but didn't regret it one bit! I can see why the locals come here and pick up pies to-go! read more

Highly recommend! And that's high praise coming from someone who doesn't *normally like pizza. A shout out to Donna -- caring, professional, and prompt! We actually came back to Rocket Pie 3x in the span of a single week, because our initial experience with Donna was such a strong positive impression. Here's what we ordered: * Focaccia - Crispy crust, soft insides, and a delicious garlic-y taste. Like all of their "breads," this was top notch. * Funghi (vegetarian) pizza - We ordered marinara sauce on the side, and the two together were fantastic. I mentioned above that I normally don't like pizza. I even *more so don't like marinara (normally). But marinara here isn't nearly as sour or tangy; instead, it's got a nice sweet taste, and I'm a huge fan. * Pesto di Pollo pizza - The star of the show in my opinion. I can't wait to come back for this specific pizza. I doused this in the chili oil they leave on the table, and gahhhhhhhhh. So cheesy. So tasty. This is my favorite pizza at Rocket Pie, and it's easily one of the top 3 pizzas I've ever had. The only other pizzas I've appreciated are "meat lover's" style -- so for such a 'simple' pizza, this is a high compliment. * Tiramisu - This reminds me of the more "watery" tiramisus in Japan. Creamier and softer mascarpone and less structured than what you'd find at a typical Italian restaurant in the US. Overall, big big fan. It's a cute restaurant, with amazing food, and even better service. Thank you Donna! read more

We ordered from this place twice within an hour. First we ordered in person. They told us to be back in 10 mins. We came back 15 mins. Not ready and made us wait another 8 mins. They were apologetic. They honored the 10% discount for Worldmark Guests. The 2nd time we called in for pick up. The lady who took the payment was NOT nice. She outright denied they have the discount. In total the first order was $36 - A whole pizza (Capriosa I think) plus a foccacia and a garlic sauce. 2nd order was same whole pizza plus meatballs. Reason we had to run back was because of a teenage boy who swallowed the entire box the first time. Leaving crumbs for the rest of us (3 more folks)! Total $54. Pretty hefty for pizza. We don't mind. But the service and whoever took our order the 2nd time Around 8:15 pm was memorable in that she defied the Canadian niceness and politeness we loved and appreciated so much but No discount. The only reason we went for pizza night was the discount. Of course, we told WORLDMARK to remove Rocket PIE from their list of local eateries. Just too sad read more

Overall a good experience. A cute place with a friendly staff. The server was very was very helpful in helping us decide what to order. We ordered a half Kale Caesar salad along with a Diavola Pizza. I was glad we only got a half order of the Salad, even for two people it was large. Personally, the Kale Caesar salad was a bit too chewy for me but the flavor was good. I really enjoyed the Diavola Pizza. read more

Let me first say a male employee/owner/manager said to me after I asked if they take reservations "yeah if you want to book several tables and pay me $500"! What? He was super rude. We were asking for a table for 4 people and they had an empty booth. The hostess was kind and within 20 minutes had us seated. Our waitress was awesome. Pizza was delicious. So thankfully what started out not so well turned out well. read more

Crust is thin and cooked just right. Recommend ordering extra cheese. A good casual spot without much of a wait on a Saturday night. read more

Went in and asked the bar if I could place a to go order, they directed me to the front of house. FOH took my order and one of the workers actually delivered it next door to the first call tavern. Great! The pizza was good and from the pictures you can tell it has a heavy helping of cheese and pepperoni, no need to pay extra for either. Adam the restaurant manager was next door first call tavern and was very hospitable and accommodating when it came to orders. 10/10 would recommend.. read more

Rocket Pie - Pepperoni pizza with added sauce that's slightly spicy. Like a bread dipping sauce...think olive oil - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

If you find yourself hungry in Canmore, do your taste buds a favor and stop here! We were seated at an open bar and the bartender/ manager? waited on us and was extremely friendly. We enjoyed chatting with him while we ate our pizza. Which was INCREDIBLE... (sooo much flavor)I ended up eating my whole pizza, no leftovers there. The manager was accommodating to my modification request of adding garlic confit to my pizza. My fiancé's pizza didn't come out at the same time as mine and they made up for it by adding prosciutto free of charge, which is great customer service. Overall we had a really good time and if I could I would go back again tomorrow! I didn't try the appetizers or dessert but they looked really good! read more

I'd rate this place between a 4.5-5 stars. It's not the best pizza I've had but it was pretty good. I also have a high bar because of where I live in the states. Our waitress was super friendly and upbeat. She took good care of us, even though it was busy and they were a bit short staffed. We split the olives for an app. They were really good and the red ones were new to me. We split the prosciutto pizza and margherita pizza. I liked the margherita one better. The chili oil is the star of the show and my friend bought a bottle to take back. It's made in house and I'm not a big chili oil person but this stuff was delish. They had a good beer list of local beers as well! read more

Not only is the whole experience of dining in at Rocket Pie phenomenal, but take-out is also absolute perfection! I am a huge fan of their style of pizza, not too thick, not too thin and the toppings are generous. Their famous chili oil adds a kick to any 'za and their drink menu is stacked with heavy-hitting cocktails, wine, an inspiring craft beer selection, and non-alcoholic options including Italian Soda. What's not to love? Can't wait to go back! read more

Yummy individual Napoli-style pies with a side of house made chili oil (not really spicy, just flavorful). Service was friendly and they did a decent dine in and hopping take out service on a Sunday evening. Pizzas were well made and I enjoyed it read more

The hype is real. Believe the hype. Stayed in Canmore for just under a week. Got Rocket Pie for take out on night 2, had to come back for seconds. First night we got a margarita pizza, which was a 10/10. And the creamy garlic dip leveled it up. Second trip, we got a pepperoni pizza, the kale salad, and the house focaccia bread. Hands down one of the best pizzas we've ever had (we are from northern NJ, basically NYC-adjacent; we know good pizza). Go here if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed. read more

How in God's beautiful green Canada is this place rated so highly. That was the mushiest, most tasteless abomination of food that I have ever ordered. If Yelp allowed for negative reviews that would be highly appropriate here. Two 12 inch pizzas for 60 dollars and we straight up threw them away. If you are reading this comment you are probably thinking you will get high quality wood fired Neapolitan pizza. You absolutely will NOT. I had one slice of each pizza and it's clearly pre made and frozen pizza thrown into a pizza oven. Save you hard earned money and go elsewhere. Literally go anywhere else. read more

So good, We ate here 3 times while in Canmore CA! We had the pepperoni, prosciutto, margarita, Diavola (make it Otto ) and the veggie lasagna. All of them were really great! Service was super friendly and recommended one of the best pizzas ever, diavola otto. So freaking good! Great ambience. Music was a great mix and the beer was good too! Happy pizza loving family! Would highly recommend this pizza joint if you remotely close. read more

No doubt the pizza dough was excellent because the crust on its own tasted great. I was severely disappointed with the center area of the pizza though. The crust was noticeably wet at the bottom and flopped over immediately when lifted, causing THE TOPPINGS TO FALL OFF THE PIZZA. This was a huge problem with the capricciosa was that the ingredients were way too hydrated and heavy and just slid off the pizza and I HAD TO use utensils to eat it. Flavor was not bad. I like the ingredient combo but we got only like 1 prosciutto piece that spanned two slices. The Fungi was the only one and it stuck well to the pizza better (the toppings). Unfortunately, we didn't really get the 'mushroom blend' concept because it tasted like it was predominantly button or portabellos... one dimensional, and also lightly underseasoned. Idk why the base ended up so wet but it really made the pizza unenjoyable. These were 2 of the priciest pizzas too. Italian sodas (peach snd cream) were excellent though, and the waitress/hostess were very sweet. We didn't get any water refills though just fyi but maybe there was a stand somewhere to refill. Idk. 6/10, would come again once in a blue moon... but would be hesitant to recommend. read more

This restaurant gets 3 stars...not for the quality of the food, but for the general experience. The pizza is very good quality and tasty - but WAY overpriced for the size of the pie and what you get. $25 for a small Margherita pizza with three small leaves of Basil torn in half so that 1/3 of the pie had no basil on it at all...and basil is what a Margherita pizza is all about. Counter to that, they literally give you dozens of pieces of pepperoni on the pepperoni pizza so I just don't get it. The staff is very friendly, but they are frantic as the place is busy with not much seating - and there is a general feeling of chaos when you enter. They treated me well when one of my pies had the wrong topping so their heart is in the right place. It all just needs work...and more generosity with the basil. Thanks! read more

The pepperoni pizza is absolutely drool-worthy(wiping my chin as I'm writing this).

I would say the flavors, other than pepperoni, are a little too crazy for us but the calzones were right up our alley. read more

Rocket Pie - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Rocket Pie Pizza Canmore 2 out of 5 stars. Let me start by saying I wanted to love this place...and it has potential. But dang, what a disappointment. Let's leave the best for last shall we, as I always like to leave on a high note. Let me set the stage - we are the only table in the restaurant as the other was leaving. Cool. I dig it. We're early eaters for this reason. We seated ourselves, and then the wait began. We waited for our order to be taken (15min) .... Then we waited for our drinks to arrive (15min) - which only 2 drinks of the 4 arrived and the other 2 took another 10 minutes to arrive after (?). So now it's taken 40min to get a full set of drinks to our table with a lot of staff standing around on phones or hanging out. Odd. Still pumped to be there.... We got our pizzas fairly quick compared to the beverages - we ordered the formaggi, diavola, and pepperoni. Flavors were good, we could tell the toppings were better than your average pizza stop. However, the chore to eat them: bad. The toppings slid off as soon as we picked up the pizza. I tried the ol' 'fold it into a sandwich' trick and it still all slid out the middle with one bite. Note for first dates: a wee bit of 'za is on your face. I'm married. Don't care. We love each other even more with the 'za on our face - hey, don't judge our standards. Next my husband had his first beer - please recall the 40 minutes wait on bevvys - and no one came to his thirst rescue. He had to flag down the waiter and ask for a drink, he left not even asking if anyone else needed a refill... remember folks, only table in there. I'm a slower sipper so I was fine but, face palm this service. To my silly mistake of not ordering with him, we finished the pizzas and my drink was gone for a while and I realize 'damn, I'm thirsty'. I then embark on flagging down service (everyone was on their phone so it looked a little like a dance to get anyone's attention, and I'm NOT a good dancer). I place my well earned drink order. Again, drink came way after we were ready for the bill. Lastly of this rant, the lady at the front of house came by and asked we give her all the cutlery we hadn't used and promptly left - this is the same lady that asked if we had a pen handy for our kiddo as she didn't want to waste bringing a coloring sheet and they had no crayons (her words). I'm honestly shocked, as I thought they would've had crayons on hand for their Mickey Mouse service (ok, that was catty). Finally, we had to ask for the bill and finally got a whole sentence out of our waiter - 'how was everything' ... Not cool. Finally! The good! Flavors were alright. Nothing to go back for but, maybe I would've tried a cpl different menu items if I had the 'time' to come back. 2 stars because I had hopes and the flavors were good when you could actually get all the ingredients in your mouth. Should've been one star, but the food pictures so well. read more

If you're looking for amazing pizza in Canmore, Rocket Pie has you covered. Rocket Pie is located in a newer commercial development on the east part of Canmore, closer to Highway 1, and is a quick drive or manageable walk from the hotels/rental condos in the area. Rocket Pie is thin crust pizza, and is absolutely fabulous. The crust is chewy and the toppings are fresh and plentiful. I went with my husband and we had great service and a fun dining experience. Two pizzas left us full and with lots of delicious leftovers for lunch the next day. Highly recommended, and I will return on my next visit to Canmore. read more

Rocket Pie - Top: Diavola bottom: margarita - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Best pizza outside of Chicago, northern Italy, and NY (in that order). So good, we ate there twice. The first time upon our arrival in Canmore as a stopping-off point to Banff and Jasper, and then again while passing through on the way back to Calgary. I got a pepperoni/sausage pizza....the pepperoni was crispy, and the sausage delicious. Crust was awesome. My daughter and wife both got one with prosciutto. Bartender gave us a tip to dip our pizza into a combination of chili oil with honey. Absolute flavor bomb. Would def return if we were ever passing through the area again. read more

Rocket Pie - a slice missing from the pizza - Pizza Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

We tried the Formaggi ($25), Diavola ($23), and the Fennel Sausage ($24). The Diavola pizza is the most recommended pizza on Google reviews. Just an excellent combination of quality cheeses, spicy sopressata and fresh tomato sauce. The salami was on point - each piece was so flavoursome. I loved how the pickled onions and chili flakes added a pleasant crunch and pop of heat. I loved the sweet, salty, and savoury notes from the blend of mozzarella, fontina, gorgonzola, pecorino ramno, parmigiana Reggiano and local honey in the Formaggi. The crust is so lovely - crispy, thin and airy. The dough is light enough to let the blend of cheeses and honey shine, but substantive enough to carry the strong flavours. Next time I'll add the prosciutto ($5) to the Formaggi. The Fennel Sausage Calzone is my favourite. This is the first time I tried a calzone that I enjoyed. Too often, calzones remind me of pizza pockets. The crust was different from the two pizzas we tried. The dough puffs up like a a pastry and the crust was almost buttery in texture. The calzone was stuffed was tons of mozzarella, ricotta cheese, fresh spinach, and house made fennel and sausage. The sausage tasted clean and bright, the meat wasn't oily or heavy. I loved the charring on the dough - the crust was blistered enough to give off a smoky flavour. The calzone is big enough for two people. Freaking fantastic and worth the calories. What sets Rocket Pie from all the other pizzerias is the crust. This dough is perfection. This is the most delicious crust I have ever eaten. You need to try this pizza to taste what I'm saying. Some flavours can't be described in words. All pizzas come with complimentary chili oil. The oil is moderately spicy and nutty. I could really taste the richness that comes from a proper toasting of the chili flakes. We took exactly half our food home and ate it for lunch and dinner. Pro tip - bake the calzone in the oven on 400 on the bottom rack for 15 minutes to get the bottom crust crisp. Rocket packs the calzone full of ingredients, and the fresh spinach releases a little water overnight. read more
