This pizzeria may have hot pies, slices and cold beer, but it’s the beachfront killer view that has guests talking. One look at the menu and it’s easy to see what Wave is all about –– the pizzas (and even the sandwiches) all carry delightful seaside names. We especially like the sound of Blackbeard’s Revenge: pepper, jalapéno, sausage and red onion. Now that’s hot!
The Good Pizza Company

Don’t let its deceptively simple name fool you –– The Good Pizza Co. has been voted Best Pizza in Vancouver by Vancouver Family Magazine. Aside from its creative menu (the Sante Fé Taco Pizza features refried beans, enchilada sauce, seasoned taco beef, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, green chilies, tortilla chips, shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, olives and red onion — whew!) the company is known for its 99 cent slices. And oversized they are — for less than a buck, customers get one-sixth of the company’s extra large cheese pizza!
