| - Holy god is the service here ever fast and is the pizza ever thin.
In my quest to try the all the "we do the best mushroom and truffle pizza" places in Calgary, I was at Without Papers on the weekend to see what their chefs can do with '00' flour, wild mushrooms and truffle oil. My pizza was at my table in less than 10 minutes.
Before food, a note on location: Had I not googled the address and followed my little map to the letter, I never would have found the place.
The sign is small and when you do think you have found it, one must stand in front of the door and decipher the words letter by letter because the type is so hard to read. Now, I'm not an 85 year old grandma, I don't wear glasses and English is my first language; but even I had a hard time reading this sign. I am a bit of a type snob and, I apologize Without Papers for the unsolicited advice, but you have some typography issues.
Once I did find it, get it, and apologize to my lunch partner for being 20 minutes late, starving, I ordered the Shroom pizza. Every pizza joint in Calgary has a version of this recipe. It's a simple formula: mushrooms of some variety + truffle oil + arugala + limited cheese + thin ultra, crispy crust. Without Papers' has studied their pizza math, because their formula hit the flavours spot on.
Through the flavour, the hint of truffle oil and the good price, there was one issue that stood out for me about the Shroom pizza. It's greasy. Literally, the pizza dripped.
Myself, I like a little grease, and sometimes even a little too much grease; but this was a little too much much grease. However, the flavour outshone the oil and I ate every last drop.
Now that I know where Without Papers is, I will be sure to go there more often when in Inglewood; with extra napkins and especially if I'm in a hurry.
