| - #113 As a well-traveled American (shut up!, we do exist, though we are rare as a US hockey gold medal in the Olympics) whom has been living north of the 49th parallel for 2 years 1 month+, I have struggled to find a good pizza anywhere in western Canada (other than Lorenzo's Pizzeria in Calgary west to Vancouver) and only one good pizza place west of the Mississippi River in the United States (which happens to be in San Francisco's Castro District, at The Sausage Factory (http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-sausage-factory-san-francisco?ob=1)).
For several months now, we have had pizza delivered to our workplace, XACT Downhole Telemetry, Inc., in a mysterious white box either with numbers on them or a description of the type of pizza that is in each box. No flyers; no labels anywhere. No way to know whom made the pizza. Odd for a business not to have their logo anywhere much less everywhere possible but okay.
Then, today, as I boldly went where no man has gone before, I "caught" the pizza delivery guys in the act. I surrounded them forcing them to tell me the name hence this review. They promised to bring flyers on their next trip (since so many people here including myself love the pizza). I uploaded 3 pictures of the pizzas but not before my co-workers had already started eating the pizza!
My favourite is a deep dish Chicago style BBQ Chicken variety that has BBQ sauce, chicken, red onions, cheese (but not too much) (apparently, #25); I also like the deep dish Chicago style pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, beef, and red onion as well.
For those vegetarian types, they do offer that and that was present but I did not partake of that.
The delivery guys are nice and pleasant to deal with and pretty quick considering we ordered 10+ deep dish Chicago pizzas plus a vegetarian sandwich for the lone vegetarian.
So, for now, I have three total pizza places that I have graced the walls of my stomach and left it very happy:
The newly discovered Madison's Restaurant & Bar in northwest Calgary
Lorenzo's Pizzeria in the Mission/17th Avenue/Red Mile District in central Calgary
San Francisco's Castro District's The Sausage Factory
It's good to see the food fare in Calgary improving; I know Calgarians like to eat and party hard.
The one thing I cannot figure out is how someone found out about their delivery (and pizza).
Time to call Leonard Nimoy and go 'In Search Of'.....
