Hey good news! Your pizza could soon cost less!

Cheaper Pizza For Canadians On The Horizon

Of course all our dairy and poultry could cost less without marketing board control.

We may see that yet, with the pressure from other nations who block us from trade agreements being a factor.

This is exactly what a country in a processed food epidemic needs!

If you mean cheaper "raw" food, such as milk, cheese, chicken, etc. then I agree!

As long as the animals in Botswana are treated by vets, aren't abused and fed the same grain/protein/oilseed feed as ones locally, it makes no difference to my mozza.

I was being sarcastic about the article and its scope.
Yes, cheaper raw food would be nice, but, it wasn't really discussed in the article.

It's not possible to get good pizza in Canada.

Oh pish! I challenge you to go check out Tony's Pizzaria in Edmonton, chow down one of their Classic Sicilians, and tell me you can't get good pizza.

He's obviously never had pie in Regina.

I love Canada, but I've had pizza from Vancouver to Halifax. You guys don't know what good pizza is.

This is plenty of baked puke on flatbread out there, I'll agree to that but there are strongholds of proper pizza here and there.

I was using the cheaper cheese item as a springboard toward cheaper dairy and poultry.

I've had pizzas in Rome. They were delicious in their own right. But I've had plenty of great pizzas in Canada.

There are lots of different styles of pizza in Canada. Find one you like and stick to it. If you can't find one, you're not looking hard enough.

Which Canadians? Which pizza do you like?

Because Tony's is run by, and serves, Sicilian hand tossed thin crust pizza like you'd get in Italy. If you're after a deep dish pizza, yeah, you'd be sorely disappointed.

I do love some melty mozzarella cheese, so woo hoo!

And there is excellent pizza in Canada, if you stay away from the chains that is.

Neither have I!

What I have found though is that there is a pizza out there for everyone. Canada is rife with diversity.

And if you're not a pizza fan persay, then hit the Lebanese pita shops. They've got some interesting concoctions.

very, very few people venture past the chains.

Famoso- small chain- good pizza.

Sad for them, but that means I can always get a table then.

Actually I'm always looking for the small, little 'gems' that pop up here and there, whether pizza or other type of fare. I know we have some amazing Italian restaurants, not chains, but just long time family owned restaurants here in London. A few Greek and Portugeuse ones too.

Dammit now I'm getting hungry, lol.

If you like Famoso, hit Tony's Pizzeria. And if you have young kids in your life, take them with you, there's a platform where they can stand and watch the men toss the crusts.

Not a pizza chain, but Sammy's Souvlaki is, I think, based in London with small "franchise" (they may even be extended family that own them) locations throughout the city and a few outside (beach areas I think). Amazingly good souvlaki and, hands down, the absolutely best poutine I've ever had in my life.

AB has the highest rate of chain start ups in the country. Then you get the packaged crap- I like seeing a pizza I ordered made where I can see it.
And I like home made pizza- I use 2 old cast iron skillets for deep dish pizza- 3 or 4 different cheeses- all fresh veg and such. And a beer.
