After a long day of hiking, skiing, or exploring, few things satisfy like a great pizza. Banff delivers surprisingly excellent pizza — from wood-fired Neapolitan to loaded gourmet pies with wild game toppings. Here's every pizza spot in town, ranked and reviewed.
Bear Street Tavern
The undisputed pizza champion of Banff. Bear Street Tavern makes thin-crust gourmet pizzas with creative toppings that go far beyond the ordinary. The dough is made fresh daily, and the flavour combinations are inspired — duck confit with caramelised onion, pulled pork with house BBQ, and a classic Margherita that's hard to beat. The craft beer selection complements the pizza perfectly.
Must-try: Duck Confit pizza. Price: $18-24 per pizza. Atmosphere: Casual, lively, local crowd.
Tooloulou's
A newer addition to Banff's pizza scene, Tooloulou's brings a creative, Cajun-influenced twist. The pizzas are generous, the flavours are bold, and the vibe is fun and relaxed. Good for groups and families.
Aardvark Pizza
Late-night pizza that's saved many a post-bar evening. Aardvark serves big, loaded slices and whole pies until late. It's not gourmet, but it's exactly what you want at 11 PM after après drinks. The pepperoni slice is a Banff rite of passage.
Best for: Late-night cravings. Price: $5-7 per slice.
High Rollers
Combine bowling with pizza at High Rollers in the Fairmont Banff Springs. The pizzas are better than you'd expect from a bowling alley — thin crust, quality toppings, and a fun atmosphere. Great for families and rainy days.
Banff Ave Brewing Co.
While primarily a brewpub, Banff Ave Brewing serves solid pizza alongside their craft beers. The wood-fired oven gives their pies a nice char, and the beer pairings are natural. The IPA pairs beautifully with their spicy sausage pizza.
