Getting a 25 or 33 bus from the UBC campus where I work, I alight either bus and walk down Cambie Street. The 33 bus being closest, makes this place easy to get to.

I have often walked by and looked through its front windows. Has a nice ambiance with decor in line with its name. Warm dark red and orange colors and a brick wall. Lovely paintings by the tables and thoughtful lighting. Nice music completes this friendly cafe.

The pizzas are handmade on ordering and baked in the firewood burning oven. The herbs 🌿 are a delight .

My first visit today sees me enjoying a delicious 10" Spanish gourmet pizza... ground beef, roasted onions, spinach and Roma tomatoes. Housemade tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese are on all pizzas.

10 inch pizza is small on menu, but ample for me. (They also do 12" and 14" pizzas. 💫🌞✨️.)

Staff are friendly and efficient. I feel I've eaten somewhere quite special.. I have not eaten a pizza with such a beautiful and unique taste.

Cost under $20.

I will return to sample another of more than twenty-six types of pizza, as you can have your own combination of toppings. Or perhaps try their fresh pasta?

Hope you enjoy visiting this...

BURNT Pizza with VERY LITTLE toppings while we PAID EXTRA for extra toppings and had travelled quite a distance to buy pizza from them. When contacted the store to let them know about the experience, they not only did not apologize, but also never offered to remedy the situation!!! They could have at least offered to provide us with a replacement or credit for future purchase, but instead they just asked for a number to get back to us and they NEVER did! When I contacted them again and told them that my sister had already complained and left her phone number, their excuse was that, "we have to first find out WHO had made the pizza and after some investigation, we will get back to you"! WOW! "investigation"! These people apparently don't know how to do business the right way and treated us with rudeness and bad attitude! You guessed right, they NEVER got back to us; and you guessed it right again, we are NEVER going to buy anything from this place ever again! Please note that they are bunch of cocky individuals; and forget about sitting there and eat in peace. It is crammed and way too noisy. Totally...
