Atlas Pizza

I’m not sure where to begin so let’s start with the good. The staff were friendly, the establishment was spacious with a good layout and appeared very clean. They also stayed open right until their posted hours 2am despite it being quite slow all night - which is very rare in Calgary! Now, the not so good… Both of the pool tables were in very rough shape. The rubber bumpers were coming apart on both tables preventing the balls from bouncing properly off of the cushions making bank shots impossible. They were also far from being level. Additionally, there was only 3 pool cues between the 2 tables and only one was worth playing with. My friend and I were extremely hungry and asked for a menu. Our server strongly suggested we try the pizza so we went along with her recommendation. We wanted thin crust but that was not an available option quite strange for any business with the word “pizza” in their name. When the pizza arrived, the crust had to be close to an inch thick! There was an absolutely ridiculous amount of cheese resulting in a sloppy, greasy mess. The “traditional” pizza sauce we opted for, tasted like some sort of generic marinara sauce not pizza sauce straight out of a can. It was quite flavourless and didn’t seem like it belonged on pizza. It weirdly tasted like there was cinnamon and possibly brown sugar in it??? Overall, it just seemed like the unhealthiest version of pizza I have ever had. It makes sense why most of the 4 & 5 star reviewers on here all look to be morbidly obese. I noticed the owner’s response to another review stating that Atlas has been around for 45 years so “they must be doing something right”. Perhaps that’s true but McDonalds has been around for nearly 70 years and I would never eat there. Unfortunately, I’ve been to Italy too many times to think that this - in any way - resembled pizza. I’d say it was closer to a lasagna in appearance. Likely, will not return.

So I stopped in on Saturday night to grab some dinner and watch the hockey game. I ordered a medium #16 ham, pineapple, mushroom with extra sauce & well done and a pint of Guinness to enjoy with the pizza. The pizza was amazing and the beer was cold and fresh. If you don’t like Greek style pizza then this might not be your thing, but if you do like Greek style pizza you should definitely check out Atlas Pizza. The crust is thick and chewy, and most importantly cooked all the way through not doughy like some places that serve pizza, the toppings are fresh and piled on thick, the generous amount of mozzarella cheese is baked golden brown with just the right amount of crust on top, and their pizza sauce is tangy with just a hint of sweetness. The beer, as I said before, was icy cold and fresh. My waitress was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed and kept my beer topped up I had 2 pints. Overall a great dining experience and a perfect place to catch a game lots of big screens tv’s mounted throughout the bar. Thanks Atlas Pizza! Parking: Lots of parking available, especially if you drive a larger vehicle like I do.

Wow! Amazing amazing amazing pizza. A group of us were in Calgary for work and someone local recommended we try Atlas if we felt like pizza because in their opinion it was the best pizza they'd ever had. We all went and had the pizza and would agree that it is some of the best we've ever had. Service was fantastic too. Highly recommend.

Atlas Pizza is the best pie in Calgary, period. I can't think of any other restaurant that has been around forever and still has the reputation and outstanding quality they bring to the table, the staff are awesome, some of which have been around for decades! Try the lasagna or wings as well, they're delicious.

I placed an online order , email verification came back after 20 minutes notifying that the pie was ready for pick up. Got to the location . Was told from the first server that our ticket was misplaced or lost, the first server then told us to give them 20 more minutes. At that point i was irritated. Came back after 20 minutes and the second server told us to give them another 10 minutes at that time I was even more irritated with the service. After the 10 minutes the third server told us to wait another 5 minutes. They kept on giving us excuses after another, totally unprofessional on how they handled the matter. The service that I had received on that day was not acceptable by any means. By the time I got my pie I had waited more than an hour . Please let me know if that is acceptable by any means for a pie. I would not even rate this place 1 star out of 5 stars. I would’ve given it a 0 star if I had the opportunity to select. I would not recommend this place to anyone based on service.

Some of the very best pizza in the city! They’re always a great place to visit and the staff have a personal touch! Multi-cheese and the madigan special are my favorites. Another great visit, thanks again for providing such an awesome environment to watch the game and have a slice!Recommended dishesGreat Pizza

The staff and patrons are always friendly and it's a good time. The pizza here is always at the top of our takeout list and we like to try out the slot machines here once in awhile. The washrooms are clean. I highly recommend eating in or take out from here.Food: 5/5

Just got home from my very first time eating here. I live in the far south of Calgary. All I can say is that I’m looking for an excuse to make the drive again. Great staff, excellent seating , the Cesar is perfect and the large pizza is huge! Ohhh and the pizza WOW!

Eat here all the time. The food is amazing. Unfortunately on the night we chose to go the service was dreadful. Brought friend to pub to try it and everyone was incredibly disappointed. Waitress rarely visited the table and when we finally got to order I suspect she held onto the order before entering it. Had asked the waitress what was going on she immediately defaulted to “you can talk to the manager” so we agreed. Manager came out and firstly accused us of not putting our order in ahead of time, then said they were overrun with take out! When asked why they don’t look after dine in patrons first he stumbled then said they do. We ended up cancelling all food and left. We came back later as we still hadn’t eaten and sat other side of pub hoping for better service. Food was and prompt this time. Service was not that great and we watched as server continually wiped her nose over and over again played with her hair and scratched several body parts. We never personally watched her ever wash her hands either. But to sum it up this place is worth the food for sure. Has been great for us every time we have eaten there except this time. And kitchen staff extremely backed up and confused from what manager stated. But will definitely go back and suggest you try if you haven’t already. Just some fine tuning needed. Thanks Parking: Plenty of parking.

Was nice to stop in. Grew up near by and the pizza was just as good as I remembered.Food: 5/5
