Lorenzo’s Pizzeria

Great pizza at a great price. The crust was delicious and you get what appeared to be a quarter of a pizza per order. I would highly recommend coming here if you are in the area.

Amazing pizza. Late night delivery and super hot pizza. Amazing flavor and great customer service. Impressed by everything about this place and will be my go to pizza place in Calgary.

One of my favorite pizza places in all of Calgary. Lorenzo’s looks underwhelming from out front, but the food is top-​notch. Pizzas are a bit pricey, but HUGE so it’s worth it. They come overloaded with toppings, so prepare your appetites and your napkins. The Balsamic BBQ Chicken is one of my faves, but I’m slowly working my way through the rest of the menu. Staff is super friendly and provide great customer service, but pizzas typically take 25+ mins to make, so don’t call if you expect food right away. This is the perfect stop if you’re looking for very traditional delicious take-​out pizza, and an essential for Sunday football!

Love Lorenzo’s pizza… It tasty not greasy.
Want to eat all the time.
Chicken wings is perfect cook.
Tried many different kind of pizza. Love them all.
They have a new menu. Will try it soon!
Highly recommend!

Don’t be fooled by the others writing reviews here. The people who work in this place are extremely rude and pathetic (with the exception of the cashier, she was really nice throughout). The rest have zero customer service. It took them 45 minutes to make our pizza and they gave us attitude once we finally got our food as if they did us a favour.
The owner said «oh don’t worry, once the pizza comes in you will forget about the wait». Well I’m sorry, the customer service world does not work like that. A crappy experience is crappy no matter what. The food was good but the arrogance from the employees ruined the experience for me. Learn how to talk to customers and how to treat them properly.
One of my friends told him that we are from Toronto and we are used to having our pizza made faster and that ticked the guy off further lol! He told us to go the airport and leave right away since Toronto sucks at everything (throw in some swearing on top), just adding more fuel to the fire. After this point he continued to speak Arabic with his Co workers and laugh while looking at us which is something I’ve seen elementary school kids do.
My experience here seems consistent with the other review below. These guys are short tempered and immature and have no idea how to treat customers.

Some of the best delivery pizza I’ve every had. Great ingredients, awesome crust. Just wish delivery was a littler faster. Next time I’m in Calgary, I’ll be ordering for sure.

So 23 days later I receive this Unilocal «Compliment» from Lorenzo’s, disputing my review:
«Mam. We have a order everry night to the casino poker room at 4 am and the driver was gonna be late delivering that order. So when he came back at the shop it was 3:45 I think your timing was really wrong. But we are sorry for any misbehaviour. As what we say the customer always right»
I have the call history recorded in my phone, it’s clear as day what time I was called, and what time I returned those calls (well before 3:45 a.m.). I also really appreciate the psuedo-​apology for ‘misbehaviour’, when in fact, their driver swore at me in a voicemail message. The customer’s always right? Even when you tell them to f*** off? Class acts.
My Original Review:
Worst service ever. Ordered online through skipthedishes tonight, and were quoted a delivery time of 3:15 (an hour after the order was placed). No problem, we’re up. Miss the apartment buzzer and the driver’s call by four minutes (at 3:03 am). Call back at 3:07, and am told by the driver that he’s already back at the shop (pretty impossible to get from inglewood to 17^th in four minutes…). Call the shop to let them know how rude the driver was, and the person answering the phone proceeds to argue that they tried to deliver over 15 minutes ago (impossible, it’s now 3:10, so my first missed call was now 7 minutes prior), but could send the pizza again if we really want. Having now been treated like complete garbage by two different people, I tell him he can keep his pizza. I then check my voicemail to find a profanity-​laden message from the driver (again, left 7 minutes ago). I’m really not the type to leave negative reviews (there’s enough negativity out there), but I’m completely shocked at the complete lack of professionalism from Lorenzo’s. It’s one of the few decent pizza joints open late, but I’d rather eat lousy Pizza 73 than be yelled/​sworn at by their staff.

While I haven’t eaten here yet, they’re bookmarked because of their excellent customer service. Organizing some catering for our clients in Calgary, they know what they’re doing — just give them a budget, how many ppl, and they’ll make it happen. Seem to service the corporate world quite well.
Deliver all day, and to most parts of Calgary.
and if Unilocalers here have already contributed to over 100+ photos, that’s a positive sign.

Pizza is my all time favorite food and I like them all (thin crust, deep dish and …)
On a drunk Friday night, I decided to visit Lorenzo to answer my pizza craving. We ordered large Prosciutto Pizza and large bacon pizza (almost 22 $ each). It was more than enough for 8 hungry guests. I also got the garlic bread, which was nothing special. Not my favorite part of the dinner.
Both pizzas were delicious, However, my favorite was the Prosciutto. Highly recommended. The pizzas are heavily covered with toppings and the crust is crispy on the outside and soft inside. Exactly the way I like it. There are a lot of tables so a good place for large groups, However, they are not licensed. So if you are in beer and pizza mood you should go for the take out option.
Most important of all, they are open till 3 am. So next time you are craving late night pizza, give them a try. Usually, the quality of food drops rapidly after midnight on 17 ave. But Lorenzo, can be your salvation for a late night dinner.

I love the food here and eat it WAY too much. I usually get ham, pineapple and green peppers but last night had a deluxe calzone with a side of tomato sauce we also got an order of meatballs and everything was crazily good and we were stuffed. The tomato sauce and garlic sauce are my favourite so order a side, its worth it. Also there are a ton of leftovers, you will get 2+ more meals out of it. I am 100% loyal to Lorenzo’s for my stuff my face delivery food needs!

First time I got their pizza — plain margarita it was delicious and I told people to try this place! And the benefit for me its so close. I have since tried it (twice!!!) since then and both times the pizza was inedible, so soggy and a total waste of money! Both occasions I ordered a large as had friends over and it was very disappointing. I don’t know if it was way too much sauce and cheese for the thin base but won’t be ordering again considering the amount of restaurants you can order and pick up from around 17^th!

The pizza is good (could use more sauce IMO) but doubt we’ll order from them again as we waited an hour and 45 minutes for pizza to be delivered tonight. Because it was a busy Friday night, the girl said to expect pizza 45 min — 1 hr… Had we known it would be twice that long, we would’ve cancelled our order. A discount should’ve been offered but was not.

We went to Lorenzo’s in the hopes of great pizza and we were not disappointed! The pizza was delicious, with a nice ‘in between’ crust, not too thin or too thick and doughy. The pizza sauce was good and even though we stuck with a basic pizza (Quattro formaggio) it was tasty. Since we stayed there to eat the pizza was piping hot, and the cheese still nice and melty. Minus one star for the condition of the washroom.

I am thankful to Lorenzo’s for being open late on the thanksgiving holiday. After finding my «go to «place was closed, I saw the glowing reviews of Lorenzo’s and called them up for pick up. The young man who answered the phone was very pleasant when I asked him about his menu. We settled on an extra large BBQ Balsamic Chicken pizza. The guy who helped me over the phone opened up the box to let us inspect the pie when we came to pick up our order.
The thing was massive! He assured me we’d have enough for lunch the next day, and he was right. Two pieces of the Chicken Balsamic and I was defeated. The slices had lots of toppings and the balsamic shone through, not being over powered by the BBQ sauce. Roasted red peppers were a nice touch that was a little unexpected as well. Definitely would go back to try some of the other choices on the menu.

Awesome pizzas! All the pizzas are great! I loved the Lorenzo super special with pesto sauce! That’s the best… All other pizzas were delicious as well. My second favorite would be the 4 cheeses pizzas… But all others were great too… The only improvement opportunity is the waiting time (only because of that I am not going to give them 5 stars) … It is certainly worthy, but I think they could be faster… Other than that everything was great… These are real Italian pizzas and I would love to go back there soon. I just will call to order before arriving, if I am hungry…

I am starting to think I have a pizza problem.
The problem is that I can’t stop eating it.
I was introduced to Lorenzo’s Pizzeria at the July Unilocaler’s party, where I couldn’t stop exclaiming over how good the piece of pizza I was jamming into my mouth was. I promptly grabbed their menu and vowed to visit the hub of this magnificent pizza glory.
I have now been twice to Lorenzo’s, they have quite a large space, so if you wanted to eat in you have the option. Theodore took my order over the phone the first time and we started making Wedding Singer references (Julia Gulia). He was very friendly both times I have been in and makes a heck of a good pizza.
Nice crust, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The pizza is covered in ample toppings. I would recommend the prosciutto pizza, where each slice has a full strip of meat and complemented with Gorgonzola cheese. Also the Funghi pizza is excellent, mushrooms AND a full strip of prosciutto on each slice.
I will be trying more of their delicious pizza creations.
They also are open all the time and quite late, so if you need a delicious pizza pie, I would recommend Lorenzos!

I’ve been west of Austin since 2007 and the only good pizza until Monday, 8 July 2013 was The Sausage Factory in San Francisco’s Castro District, 517 Castro St, San Francisco, California 94 114. That’s a long drive from Calgary just to get a good pizza. But if you’re in SF, this is the place to go for a good pizza. Hit the Hot Cookie if it is still there and don’t forget In-​N-​Out Burger as well.
Okay, back from the now obvious food coma, I was at Unilocal!event at the Endeavor Arts Gallery & Event Space for which Lorenzo’s Pizzeria was there along with the Springbank Cheese Co, Jameson’s, and Epiphanie Chocolate. The gathering was a fundraiser for Neighborhood Link.
I noticed there was free pizza and since I was sort of hungry, I though, eh, what the hell?
I got a slice of the Canadian I believe it was which had Pepperoni, Mushrooms and Bacon. The sauce was a perfect tangy mess. Such full rich tomato taste. The crust, perfectly cooked and not doughy at all. I thought I was in SF except for the spirit of Calgary in the air which brought me down to earth. When I returned, I realized now I could drive /​walk about 2 km for a good pizza instead of 2100+ km.
So, leaving at 8:30pm from the event, we decided we wanted to get a full size pizza. Got the small round pizza (12 inch/30.5 cm) which is 2 for $ 24.95 with 3 toppings each. One with pepperoni, bacon, and onion and the other with pepperoni, olives, and something else. This took about 30 minutes but you could not ask for a better pizza this side of Austin or anywhere north of SF.
My previous pizza joint, Canadian Pizza Unlimited, is so hit or miss for quality that I had given up on pizza. Now, I have Lorenzo’s which is closer to my residence, delivers late, and taste great but it is more filling.
This goes to show you that attending Unilocal!events does pay off even if it’s free for attendees and the business provide free goods. See you next week, Lorenzo’s!
