| - I was in Calgary last month staying at the Holiday Inn. My friend and I usually get Trio's Pizza, when we stay here, but I was completely disappointed, when I learned that it had closed down! They had, hands down, the best pizza ever. And I stayed in denial for at least 15 mins, looking in the phone book to see if maybe they had moved or something. I didn't know what to do, because I was starving, so I looked in the Holiday Inn guide, and I saw an ad for Manies Pizzaria.
The ad said that Manies Pizza was voted #1 by readers of the Calgary Sun, so I figured it must be good. I ended up ordering a pepperoni, mushroom, and green pepper pizza. I questioned the guy on the phone, when he told me the total price was $18.50, because in the Holiday Inn guide it said it was only like $15. He said that it was a really old menu. They should seriously get that changed.
The pizza took a while, but the delivery guy was really nice. I was surprised that the pizza box was so heavy, since it was only a 10" pizza, so I thought it must have really thick crust. I was wrong. The pizza had a fairly thin crust, but it was piled with LOTS of pepperoni. It was thickly cut, deli style pepperoni that tasted quite good, but it was way too much meat for me. If it wasn't for all that meat, I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more. The pizza wasn't greasy at all, but the bottom of the crust was soggy; I guess from being inside the box.
Overall, it was okay. It wasn't so good that I am craving to have it again, but next time I stay at the Holiday Inn, I'll probably order it again--I'll just go for a veggie pizza instead.
