| - I should have reviewed this establishment long ago living only a block and a half away.
Crown is take out only. It is owned by Kashmiris and if you have ever eaten Kashmiri naan, then you know full well what I mean when I say a treat is in store for you when you taste the crust of their pizzas.
Being originally from Toronto, I grew up in city where true Italian pizza is available. Calgary falls pitifully short. Pizzas are made backwards here in Calgary with the cheese above the toppings. As a result, your ham, pepperoni or whatever toppings you choose, do not carmelize and taste bland bland bland. It's like it is a plague. This city also has a facination to put enough cheese on one pizza to feed all the mice on this planet. I am sorry, but simply put, that is not real pizza.
Crown delivers and when they custom make it for you with the techniques used in Toronto, Montreal, New York or Naples, they get it right on the money. Deep dish pizza they do not serve and it is not Italian, it is American.
My favorite pizza is a delicate, but not thin, crust with spicy tomato sauce, light on the cheese with a blend of provolone, asiago, and mozzarella, topped with anchovies, mushrooms, ham, and onions and ABSOLUTELY NO CHEESE ON TOP. Crown caters to my exact requests and is close to perfect. I would give five stars if they would stop making the sloppy soggy cheese pies they normally serve. Pizza that falls in your lap or where the crust sags instead of remaining firm would start a war in Italy.
Crown cuts no corners, all the ingredients are fresh which means you do not have to put up with disgusting tasteless canned mushrooms.
