Not your usual pizza, but very delicious. If you're looking for your standard pizza, try the Hutch. It's got some kick to it, with spicy genoa salami and other cured meats. My only complaint is there is never enough cheese, which I find to be a common complaint with all these new "hip" pizza and wine joints.

Without Papers might be the worst restaurant experience I have had in Calgary. My parents told me it was terrible but I though I would try it myself. We had pretty bad service, but I can excuse that because the waitress was new. I ordered a pizza with three ingredients: arugula, prosciutto, and bocconcini. About a minute before the pizza arrived I was told that they had run out of arugula and I would not be getting any. Bummer, but I wasn't thrown off yet. When the pizza did come it has no bocconcicni. After about 25 minutes the waitress came back and I complained that my pizza had only one of the advertised three toppings (33% is a bad score for any test). She came back minutes later and argued with me that there was indeed bocconcini on the pizza and that the taste was masked by the prosciutto. Eventually I told her that I grew up in an Italian house and I know what cheese tastes like. It doesn't count as a topping if the slice is so thin that I cant taste it. My companions also had bad pizza. The highest score goes to the mushroom pizza - 5/10. None of us will ever go back.
