Double Zero Pizza

Having booked several corporate lunches and after work parties here, service is great but it’s very loud and hard to have a conversation across the table. You will be shouting. Atmosphere aside from volume, is dark and minimalist in a comfy way. Pizzas are great if you like thin crust– which I adore!!! I have tried every single pizza on the menu in addition to fennel salad, the beets and and the basic caprese salad. All were tasty. The prosciutto arugula and mushroom pizzas are yummy. I also like the chicken bacon but it’s a tad salty. The pepperoni does have a spicy kick and the meatballs are average to me in flavour and texture. I’m married to an Italian and have found meatballs to be a measure of true greatness and simplicity while being a cornerstone of childhood memories. My fave meatball in Calgary is at Scopa. But that’s an entirely different review!!!

Since the first time I visited, I go back to this place as often as I can. I’ve even brought new friends with me every time! Delicious, thin crust pizza, cold beer and great atmosphere. What more could you want? The Polynesian Princess is a must try — an intriguing take on Hawaiian. A little bit spicy, sweet and salty. So good!

One of my favorite places to go, just love their pizza’s time after time. If I had to pick one downfall it would be how loud it is. Sometimes it is hard to hear others at my table. But over all, I keep coming back because the service and food is awesome!

It was a birthday gathering with a party of 15. Our server was Antonio. It began with a slow service, took forever to wait to get him to take orders. We had 11 people sit altogether and two people that was in another table being separated by a small gap. So to have a more inclusive environment, friends merged the table and Antonio said that there was a reason to not put the tables together. His reason was so that it would be easier if anyone needed to get out to go to the washroom. But even so, that would be something that we would deal with and in fact no one had to get out. So being told that we can’t have the tables merge when we are willing to move if someone needed to get out, was shocking.
Friend ordered calamari, the 4 people around her heard her say that she wants calamari but Antonio said «no you did not order calamari, you did not say that you wanted calamari». Rather than being defensive, would it not have been better for Antonio to apologize? He then asked if she wanted to order it and yes she indeed wanted to. It was what she wanted in the first place before the pizza.
Antonio had a very passive aggressive attitude, rude most of the time. He would get upset if we merged the tables even after we finished eating and were just sitting there.
I specifically told Antonio that we had people coming a bit late, but he failed to acknowledge and cut the cake into only 10 uneven pieces. Leaving some people without cake. It’s a birthday celebration after all.
Antonio was very rude when it came to not allowing us to change seats during the meal. It’s understandable so that it’s easier for him to print the bills. But again, we do not need to be babysat and need someone to figure out the bills for us if it is all just going to be printed off individually anyways.
The jokes that he said were not funny, they are rude and sometimes offensive. We were a diverse group of people, of all ethnicities and we value respect highly so it was very disrespectful for a waiter to disregard any of that.
I have had multiple large group gatherings at Double Zero before and this is the worst experience I have ever had.

Came here with my husband and another couple. We were seated at the bar on the high top tables. The place was super hard for all of us to find but we found it, across Holts. You walk down stairs to get to the restaurant.
We ordered the antipasto platter to start for 2, it was huge! Fed all 4 of us, that was $ 24. We also ordered the Caprese large salad $ 15. Everything was great and REALLY big portions. For mains we ordered the Waldorf salad, Pepperoni pizza and the grilled vegetable pizza (I believe) Everything was good and nice sized. We will definitely be returning!

It’s a popular Pizzeria in downtown, and you won’t be disappointed. their thin crust pizzas are always yummy, the service is good and the prices are reasonable.
Don’t go if you are in a hurry, since during busy hours sometimes your order can take easily 30minutes to arrive.
For weekdays lunch time, be sure to book on their website or by phone otherwise you might end up waiting, or being seated at the bar…

With a $ 5 happy hour from 3 – 6, Mon-​Friday, this is a great spot to wait out the C-​Train rush.
Hold that thought. Double Zero Pizza is good place to eat for many occasions, ESPECIALLY if you want pizza!
While it’s located in the The Core Shopping Centre, there is nothing «mall» like about Double Zero. Personally, when I’m looking for a nice place to chow down on fine food and hang out with friends a mall food court is pretty low on the list. Double Zero is NOT this… so what is it?
Descend the stairs underneath the CHICAGO style lightbulb Double Zero sign and you’ll find your place in a classy yet comfortable, «come as you are but you probably came from your office job,’ Neapolitan Pizza, wine and quality beer bar.
Heavy wood tables, bare bulb lights, bookshelves with hosts of canned tomatoes, Village Brewery growlers and a few white ceramic pig mascots make Double Zero a good place to unwind while you’re in the core, but don’t want to feel out of place because your’e still wearing your business blazer.
I rocked a mortadella pizza and managed to stuff the WHOLE thing in my face. Thin crust with puffy edges so you can pick it up with your hands, a tasty tomato sauce with a fair bit of basil goodness, piled high with mortadella and… pistachios? Weird, huh. They were also my favourite and the most standout part of the pizza to me. I loved loading this sucker up with the fresh parmesan, chilli flakes and chilli oil that comes with it.
If you’re hungry, you could probably put down ¾ of a Double Zero pizza. This works perfect if you’re a group of 2. Order a pizza to share and then a side or two to go along with it. If you’re really hungry, yup, you can do a whole pizza! I did. ;) *brag brag brag*

Came here for dinner before catching a show downtown. We were seated right away, and attended to right away by our fabulous server James. He was super friendly and personable, without being annoying. He was quick to let us know about the serving style of the restaurant (family style), and what to expect portion wise so we could order accordingly.
We were hungry, but didn’t want to have to carry leftovers into the theatre, so we split a small Caesar salad and the sausage pizza. Although the salad was «small», there was plenty for 2 people. It was a little fishy for my taste, but nice and fresh. The pizza was excellent. Nice thin, crispy crust, topped with sausage, green onions and artichokes. They also provide parmesan, chill flakes, and chill oil on the side. It was very tasty, and just the right amount for 2 people.
Overall this is a great restaurant with a fun, casual vibe, excellent food, and great prices! I will be back!

Was here for happy hour.
$ 5 wines (red/​white/​sparkling)
Happy hour calamari was meh… The batter totally did not stick…
Margherita pizza was pretty good, crust was crispy bottomed and not soggy.
Server was friendly and quick.

It was time for a Wednesday night ladies’ night and we needed to decide on a place, so we turned to our food guru, Christine. Christine chose double zero because she mentioned there was happy hour from 3−6pm daily from Monday to Friday. Happy hour consisted of $ 5 selected house wines, bar snacks, draught and bottled beer. Christine and Jaime met up around 5pm and I was running late so I arrived closer to 6.
Normally, looking for a parking spot down in the core is pretty difficult but I got lucky as I found a spot right across the street from 00. I walked down the set of stairs to meet up with my girlfriends who were sitting at a table in front of the bar. Double zero is a place you hit up after a long day of work to let loose, shoot the shit and have a couple beers, or… a couple glasses of Prosecco for us ladies. Since I arrived later, Christine and Jaime shared some starters and ordered some $ 5 Prosecco. Thankfully I didn’t miss happy hour as Christine ordered some ‘00’ meat balls and a glass of Prosecco. We then ordered a mushroom pizza to share. I found the mushroom pizza didn’t have enough toppings for my liking, although it tasted great… I was wanting more cheese and mushrooms and less crust! The Canella, Prosecco di Conegliano Superiore was sweet and bubbly… just the way I like it! Lastly, anybody that knows me, knows that I have the biggest sweet tooth so I decided to order the chocolate torta which was chocolate mousse, raspberry, hazelnut praline. I found it very rich, silky smooth and tasty. Gahhh I love sweets!!! It was pretty much divine.
Overall, the service was wonderful and very attentive, ensuring that we were enjoying everything and everything was indeed great! I would definitely recommend double zero if you like $ 5 snacks and prosecco! :)

Double Zero is my go-​to happy hour spot when in the downtown core. All you need to tell me is $ 5 wine and prosecco and I don’t care what it is, I’m there. I’ve been to this spot when it used to be Tangerine Supperclub, but somehow for a restaurant it doesn’t quite work. It’s dark, it’s loud, and it’s small. And those stairs to get in? Scary in heels. However, I’ll eat and drink in a broom closet for $ 5 glasses of wine and prosecco.
The past few times I’ve been here, I’ve ordered food off their happy hour menu as well. The first time I was impressed, the meatballs and calamari were delicious, albeit small portions. The second time was disappointing — the waitress was persistent as hell (clearly, we were catching up and had a lot to talk about, yet she kept popping in every 5 minutes to ask if we wanted something else, or if we had decided on food, etc) — and the food was below average. Our calamari was SOGGY — not crispy at all. I did enjoy the prosecco as always and our bill was delightfully cheap.
I know I’ll be back for happy hour, no doubt about it. I just hope they improve the food quality because soggy calamari is a big no-​no. I don’t mind the noise, but don’t come here if you want to have a great conversation — you’ll be yelling across the table at each other.

I really liked this place, and I especially loved the $ 5 happy hour (house wines, appetizers and delicious prosecco)! The ambience is lovely here, it has kind of a rustic feel, which makes it feel totally authentic. The pizza I had was delicious and the dessert was pretty good as well. I was stuffed after this meal, but this is normally the case when I eat Italian food. Simply put this place is great, a wonderful date night or a great place to hang out with the ladies. Definitely check it out!

Classic Italian style pizza, the perfect lunch for a Friday afternoon at the office.
I was quite impressed by Double Zero Pizza. Normally when you hear a place has gluten free pizza crust you don’t expect much. It over powers the pizza and drowns out all of the flavors and really distracts you from the fact that you’re eating pizza. Double Zero does it right though. I ordered the mushroom pizza on gluten free crust and was not disappointed. The toppings were about the perfect amount with a delicious sauce. The size of the pizza was about the amount for a really hungry person (I should probably only have ate half but it was too good). Service was also great and the food was ready very quickly even though it was pretty busy.
You’ll see me back here especially for this $ 5 happy hour (3 – 6 PM Monday to Friday).

The one and only time I was at Double Zero was for lunch, and it was ridiculously loud that I didn’t really enjoy my experience there.
When my girlfriend suggested happy hour there, I figured I’ve give it another shot. We arrived shortly before 5 o’clock and it was pretty full (and LOUD) already. We got seated at the bar which I honestly didn’t mind because then we were sitting beside each other and I could hear our convo.
The bartender was quick to get our drink orders, and we contemplated over the menu. Remembering there was a happy hour menu online, I went back to the hostess to ask for one (I’m not sure why she didn’t give it to us in the first place). We decided on calamari, caprese salad and meatball panini.
I was mesmerized by the bartender’s skills, he was pouring beers and mixing drinks so efficiently — I think this is a rarity nowadays, good on ya bartender dude!
Our food came out pretty quickly, the calamari was crispy (although the sauce was at the bottom of the bowl so the end pieces were pretty soggy), the salad had nice helpings of tomatoes and mozzarella and the meatball panini was really savoury.
I noticed that the entire dining/​bar area is too open concept so people are talking over each other in addition to the music so it gets excessively loud. They need to add some sound barriers (divider walls maybe?) to help this problem.
Would I be back? The food is definitely a draw for me, however I wouldn’t go with a group because I think trying to listen to everyone talk over the surrounding noise would drive me insane. Although I wouldn’t say no to another one-​on-​one with a friend here if the opportunity came up.

I had a friend in town last night and we went by Double Zero to have a few drinks. We had the opportunity to speak with Chef Rob while we were there and he suggested a few things to us, so we ordered them up. We started with the 00 Meatballs which were very fresh and moist, like Mama used to make back in Little Italy Ontario. We also had the Roasted Cauliflower, jammed full of chick peas, capers, raisins & cheese, even though my counterpart was nervous about it. It was a real hit with both of us and so good and we were racing to get the last bites of it. We ended with the Spinach Potato Pizza which was also good, but I think I prefer the Confit Chicken which I had a few weeks ago.
It’s a nice space on all sides and very comfortable. The staff was also very personable every time I’ve been. Great spot.

I liked the pizza (Chicken confit) and the wines they had available were quite good. I like that they have a lot of wines AND a lot of beers and cocktails so there is something for everyone. The pizza is fresh with delish ingredients… it was hard to choose which one we wanted to try. I like that the food is no fuss no muss but tasty. It means you can focus on who you are with. It seemed like regulars were well recognized by staff and treated accordingly which was nice to see.
One complaint… when it is busy it can be a bit loud to have a conversation or hear yourself think. So it may not be a great date spot unless you are at that stage in the relationship where you enjoy each others silence.

Neapolitan style pizza that’s got a good thin, toothsome crust and bulbous edge. The toppings are high-​quality and the saltiness just right. The grilled lemon provided adds a great zing when sprinkled on the toppings. I’d give this place 4 stars, except that it’s a bit pricey for the size of pizza you get, putting it a shade below other Neapolitan-​style joints like Famoso. Of course, you pay for the central location with 00. The house wine is quite drinkable at $ 7, and $ 5 during happy hour. The main area where they could raise the bar is appetizzers like the arancini, which while decent would be better «al telefono» (with a mozza cube) or even better «alla bolognese»…you know, a little treat in the middle to make it seem worth 4 for $ 12.

oh my glory, this is good eats.
I finally had a chance to go to double zero, and to be honest I’m sad I waited so long!
Came in on a whim on a Saturday night, and I was actually surprised by how empty this place was. We opted to sit at the bar. We had a fennel and orange salad as a starter and what a delicious way to start things off.
I don’t remember what pizza we had but I know it had arugula on it and I know we loved it. Rarely do we eat more than half of a pizza when we go and with this one we just could not stop. We even carried on to have dessert, a strawberry shortcake I believe it was — and it was to die for. It was all I could do not to lick the plate.
The service was great, friendly and attentive and the food. I have to come back again to see what the consistency is like, and I have plans to bring some out of town company here for the experience.
Love.

Double Zero, named after the flour that is (properly) used to make the crust, does an excellent job at crafting true Neopolitan pizza. The crust, as many have mentioned, is possibly the best and most authentic I’ve ever had in this segment. The toppings are generous (for the style) and fresh. The prosciutto is lightly smoked to perfection, with fresh arugula, mushrooms, and top quality cheeses.
The service is quite good, serving the corporate downtown quite well. It’s friendly if not a little bit sterile, but good nonetheless. The water is not free, but instead uses profits as charitable donations which is cool with me.
Because they appear to adhere to the Napoleana rules, the diversity is somewhat restricted in their pizza selection. However, if that’s what you’re after, Double Zero will not disappoint! It’s my go-​to for said style.

I can only speak for the bar section, coming right down from the stairs of the front entrance. Great reinvention from Tangerine, the spaces are edgy and dark, true pizza joint orange lighting, TV’s to the front and back of the bar to catch all the sports action.
Bar nibblets from $ 5 are amazing, and I recognized the Tree brewing beers right off the bat. The pizza IS DELICIOUS. They advertise a gluten free pizza base yada yada I forget, anyways suppose to be really good for you, but the point is, CRIPSY to the bite and CHEWY in your mouth. We ordered the italian sausage and it was amazing. Simply delicious.
Would I recommend this to friends? Yes. Will I be hanging here more often? Oh hell yes.
