Quintessential Calgary Restaurants
"Another pioneer of Calgary’s modern restaurant scene, UNA Pizza + Wine was instrumental in starting Calgary’s thin-crust pizza craze and continues to make some of the best pizza in the city. With a no reservations policy, there is often a queue, but classics like the prosciutto pizza and the kale Caesar salad or bar snacks like the walnut-stuffed medjool dates are worth any wait. If you need your pizza pronto, there’s also a takeaway shop next door with a hidden wine bar in the back."

"Opened by husband and wife Kelly Black and Jayme MacFayden after their pizza experiences from trips to San Francisco, UNA Pizza + Wine serves Californian inspired, thin-crust pizza on stone deck ovens. I really enjoyed their thin crust pizza which was crispy on the bottom and chewy in the middle. I tried the Beltline Pizza because I found the use of maple syrup as sauce was quite interesting."
