Red Rock Pizza Canmore — Restaurant in Alberta

Tourist trap depending on uniquely named pizzas with creative topping combinations that disappoint when you actually taste them and realize the extremely low quality ingredients. Almost every part of the pizza seemed to be the most low quality and inexpensive version of the ingredient.

The crust is likely a par-baked premade crust. It's the first time since the pandemic that I've come across a crust that wasn't enjoyable on its own. No flavor. Poor texture. The air pockets were very similar to basic white bread.

The sauce at least didn't stand out in any way. Likely because the disappointment of everything else overshadowed it.

The pepperoni taste and texture were identical to cheap pepperoni off a frozen pizza.

The bacon was at least not objectionable.

The sun dried tomatoes just seemed cheap and tougher than normal.

I'll stop rambling but if you're serious about pizza and appreciate good ingredients please don't subject yourself to this. I have to go back to 2020 to think of a worse pizza experience. It was pretty comparable to most frozen pizzas except for more variety in the toppings. I've for sure had better frozen pizzas.

Oh, and we picked up the pizza after a day of 15km of hiking with 1000m of course elevation. Normally anything would...

As my coworker and I were battling the tundra (well...not really, we were driving in a heated van listening to slayer) we both agreed we needed sustenance in order to continue our journey onwards. A quick search brought us to Red Rock Pizza, we checked out the menu, phoned in an order for pickup about 20 minutes ahead. Upon our arrival the pizza had just come out of the oven, the staff was friendly, yet obviously and understandably busy. Even in the brief time it took me to pay and pickup our pizza it was obvious this place was busy for good reason. There was almost a constant stream of other costumers flowing in and out picking up their orders and the delivery guy was high in demand, thus it would be wise to stand clear so he can do his job like a boss. When we opened the box in the van it was glorious... the entire van was almost instantly perfumed in the aroma of this masterpiece...which we devoured within minutes. It was everything we hoped it would be and fulfilled our cravings, we then set forth... back into the tundra...until...

We used to love Red Rock, but we have stopped ordering from them after seeing them so blatantly ignore the public safety measures put in place to protect us all. When I picked up an order the other day, 4 of the staff working there were not wearing masks at all. One staff member had his around his neck but not covering his nose or mouth. They are actively preparing our food without wearing masks and even the person working the cash register and interacting with customers wasn't wearing a mask. That is simply saying that our safety is not important enough for Red Rock staff (and management) to do their part and stick to the rules. Especially at a time when Covid is really hurting a lot of people in the Bow Valley. Before posting this review, I sent a DM to Red Rock asking if there was any reason for this behaviour. The message was read, but they did not reply. You can see the message I sent below. We are now looking elsewhere for a new pizza joint, and encouraging others to...
