This week’s entry in my search for the best pizza in Edmonton is one that a lot of you have anxiously been waiting for, since Tony’s and Ragazzi were probably the most frequently recommended to me. Both are doing New York style pizzas, and both have long histories of pizza making in Edmonton, so who […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #5- Royal Pizza vs Dallas Pizza
The search for Edmonton’s Best Pizza is in full swing, with another couple of thick crust pies on deck for this week. These 2 contenders have been around a long time, and I tend to think of them as the benchmarks for this style. I’ve eaten both numerous times over the years, and I’ve got […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #4- Parkallen vs Slice Pizzeria
This week’s match-up features a upstart pizzeria in the far SE corner of the city vs a longtime staple of the Edmonton food scene. Both Slice Pizzeria and Parkallen Restaurant are thicker, more atypical-crust spots that I haven’t been to before, so I was anxious to see who would come out on top. Parkallen Restaurant– […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #3- Beer Revolution vs Leva
I’m back on the hunt for delicious thin crust pizza’s this week, and it was a welcome reprieve from last week’s heavy-duty pies. The 2 places I visited this week are both places I already love for other reasons – Beer Revolution for their beer, patio, and $2 pretzel nights, and Leva for their […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #2- Monty’s Pizza vs Coliseum Steak and Pizza
After last week’s battle of thin crust pizzas, I really wanted to try a couple of thicker crusts for this edition of the yeg pizza odyssey. Luckily a friend was having a housewarming on Saturday pretty close to Monty’s, so I had a built-in excuse to head to an area I don’t normally frequent. Monty’s […]
YEG Pizza Odyssey #1- The Rock vs Parlour
I’m kicking off the search for Edmonton’s best pizza with a battle of wood-fired pizzas in the classic, Neapolitan style. Delving into what constitutes a true Neapolitan style pizza is much more complicated than you’d imagine, so for simplicity’s sake let’s categorize it by these few defining characteristics: Cooked in a wood fired oven, directly […]
A New Year; A New Odyssey
Last year at this time, I was wondering where to find the find the best burger in this fair city, so I went on a journey – The YEG Burger Odyssey – that took me to all 4 corners of Edmonton and even pushed out a bit further. In the end, after many burgers (and many new notches […]
3 Edmonton Food Trucks Doing Sandwiches Right
Sandwiches rank pretty high on my list of favourite foods. I never get bored of sandwiches, and though carbohydrates seem to have reached a villainous status these days rivalling Somali Pirates or Justin Bieber, you’ll have to tear my grilled cheese sandwich from my cold, dead hands before I give it up. The explosion of Edmonton […]
Top 5 Edmonton Burgers From the YEG Burger Odyssey
Well the time has come (actually it’s long overdue) to assemble a list of my “Top 5” burgers from the YEG Burger Odyssey. The burgers in my top 5 all have one thing in common- They are all burgers I’d drive across town specifically to have. I debated trying to pick an overall #1 Edmonton […]
YEG Burger Odyssey #15- Select vs Cha Island Tea
This episode of the YEG Burger Odyssey features 2 more burgers recommended by you, the readers. Neither Select, or Cha Island Tea were on my radar screen until the suggestions, proving again that soliciting suggestions from all of you is a worthwhile endeavour. Select- 10018- 106st Select, formerly Cafe Select, is located on a quieter […]
