How close are you looking at?

If you want a pizza that is similar to UNA but not on 17th, try Famoso on 4th or Double Zero Pizza (4th Street between 7th and 8th AVE). http://doublezeropizza.ca/

Double Zero is nice because he has decent pizza that is comparable to UNA but the restaurant is alot bigger so you don't have to worry about getting a table.

For Greek I've had two great meals at Calypso's Taverna, 2010 Centre St NW.

Juree's Thai Place
On 16th ave where the old Burger King was, just west of 19th Street NW. It was reccomended to me by my friend who I traveled to Thailand with. I aggree with him, it is about as authentic we have had in town. Delicious. My fiancee and I went with another couple each ordered a main dish and shared, bill came to $35.00/ couple.

We will definatley be heading back.

The one negative I guess if I had to pick one. Minimal seafood, just prawns and fish. Many of my memories of Thai food is the crab and squid noodle dishes.

Thanks for the suggestions Trout and SupperMatt.....by the time you answered, I had already ordered from Vogglios. It was pretty tasty as well, but always good to have some options for the future.

Vogglio's is good and a great price since the second pizza is 50%off. Really can't go wrong with Vogglio's, UNA, Famoso, or Doublezero.

Spiros is good as well but is much different then the pizza listed above as it is the thick, greek style pizza.

Try Vogglio d'pizza (14th st 15th ave) sort of by Phils restaurant, and get the thin crust mexicana.
A bit expensive, but loaded with quality toppings and very filling and delicious.
The thin crust stays crispy even the day after.

edit: didnt' see your post

Yep, it was a good time. Tons of topping too.....usually I prefer only 1 or 2 on my pizza, but this had about 7 of them and still tasted pretty great.

Btw, has anyone ever been to Boyds Lobster Shop? It looks rather dirty from the outside, but my desire for good fresh seafood has me intrigued.

I haven't been in about three years, but I remember that I had a good meal of fish and chips and fried clams. Inexpensive, and the lack of decor isn't an issue.

on the north side of the river :

Italian : Da Guido ; awesome food, fair price
Take Out Pizza : Demitris
Pulchinella's good authentic italian style pizza
Jimmys AAA deli makes a wicked (and huge) shwarma

thanks for all of the other comments - this thread is helpful

Two best in the city IMO are Tazza in Bridgeland and Shawarma Knights on 14th ST and 16th Ave SW.

I like Sophie's near Westhills. We always get meat sauce and cheese pizza.

[yyc_flames]

I'd agree, we ate there once a few years ago, and while the food was really good, it was over priced for what we had. We basically left thinking "well that was really good, but expensive" For the price point we'd rather go elsewhere.

Double Zero is quite good - and a great atmosphere right downtown. I'm headed there tonight in fact.

Una is good, but I find it pricey (like many more casual Calgary restaurants) and the pizza crust bland and dry.

I also love pizza places like Odyssey or A Plus, which are those thick cheesy steakhouse style pizzas. So delicious.
