I just had an amazing two hour lunch at Without Papers Pizza with two of the favorite guys in my life and for a small town girl like me, Inglewood in Calgary is the place to go for great pizza.
Without Papers has just been voted the best pizza place in Calgary and we tried The Hutch, The Shroom and The Pollo Pesto planning on sharing and taking home the leftovers. There were no leftover, none, we ate it all, and then our fabulous waitress Karly came and convinced us that we should have dessert.
We ordered The Julie named after Julie Van Rosendaal and the person behind the wonderful blog Dinner with Julie. It was amazing and definitely the best dessert pizza we have ever had. The combination of ricotta, wine poached pears and nutella was perfect.
The fact that this restaurant carry McManus wine by the glass just made it even more special to me as that is one of my favorite wines.
I love restaurants that focus on what they are good at and keep it simple. It is a one page menu, it’s all pizza; no cheese burger on this menu, if you don’t like pizza, don’t go here. Simplicity extends to the kitchen too, imagine trying to have everything on hand, at any time when you have a five page menu, looking at this menu, not much kitchen/storage space is required.
Treating each child to some undivided attention is probably one the best things you can do for kids. This is not the kind of place to take small children but perfect for teen-agers and it is good to show them something other than fast food. We spent lots of time discussing the ingredients and combinations and we got our son to try something new. Despite the descriptive words like cacciatore, calabrese and bocconcini, his pizza was basically meat and cheese, but spicy.
I can’t wait to go back and try another 3 pizzas – who wants to go?
