History
Established in 2015.
We’re a small family run business, only three of us; that specializes in thin crust contemporary pizza Napoletana! We’re locally owned and operated and our restaurant roots date back all the way to 1988 when our father first opened up his very own Italian restaurant here in Calgary! We have a strong tradition in Italian cuisine and our pizzeria a pride and joy to what we can offer our customers. We hope you enjoy our pizza as much as we do and would love to see you come down!

Growing up in an Italian household and traveling all over Italy, I finally opened up my own place that specializes in pizza Napoletana and homemade traditional Italian pastries. This is a dream come true for me and I would love to pass this onto my customers. When you step inside my Pizzeria I want you to feel like your in Italy! With great food and service you’ll love my pizzeria! Thank you for supporting a small locally run family business, this means the world to me.

“””””””””””””””By far my number one place to indulge in pizza! I have tried many of the neapolitan style pizzas in Calgary, and I always return here for the best of the best. “”””””””””””””””The Ten”””””””””””””””” pizza has now become the gold standard to which I compare all others….and nothing comes close!! I couldn’t recommend Azzuri enough!!”””””””””””””””
We’re from Colorado, just visiting and found this place on a whim. Amazing pizza and great service! The vibe was also fantastic. Highly recommend
I can’t say enough about this place – Azzurri makes the best pizza I have ever had! It is all very authentic, fresh, and the dough hand tossed right in front of you! This is a small family business and they work very hard to deliver a fantastic product and experience every single time. If you love authentic pizza you need to try Azzurri!
“””My favourite pizza place in Calgary no doubt! Seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve had since having “”””legit”””” pizza in Naples. Tried a couple of different pizzas here but my favourite is The 10. The prosciutto is soo good, seriously! They don’t cheap out on the toppings either – they put so much cheese and prosciutto on that we couldn’t even see the sauce haha. The dough is thin and delicious and the sauce tastes super fresh and authentic. The desserts here are awesome as well – one of the best tiramisus! They have some other desserts that they serve and switch up but if you have to pick just one, I recommend the tiramisu 🙂 I almost didn’t want to write a review for this place because it’s a cozy little place with a limited amount of seats but I felt too guilty to not share the best pizzeria in town.. If you are planning on trying this place (especially on a weekend), call ahead of time and make resos to not be disappointed! Service here is really great as well – we’ve only been twice but the owner recognized us on the second visit. Friendly and casual atmosphere, love this place!”””
One of my favourite places for pizza. The ingredients are super fresh. I saw the owner shave the cheese and meat for my pie. The crust is stellar. Just the right thickness and with a pleasant crunch for happy chomping. Prices are very reasonable, cheaper than other pizzerias in Calgary but higher in quality. The only thing is that there are few seats, so it can be challenging to go with friends. If you’re lucky you can get a small table. If you haven’t been, this is one gem you ought to check out.
