It’s probably the most popular food in Banff: Pizza. There are seven dedicated pizza restaurants in town, and then there are four Italian restaurants that also serve pizza. Are you in for a copious dinner with melted cheese, luscious dough with a rich sauce and any toppings you can think of? Then this guide is for you.
Banff has more than one hundred restaurants (see the post the ultimate guide to Restaurants in Banff), some high-end, some are in-between and, sure, there’s lots of fast food as well.
But sometimes you don’t want to eat typical fast food and yet not spend too much on eating out. What better choice than munching on a delicious pizza for dinner?
Below I listed all the Banff pizza places and what to expect. You’ll also find a handy table including the address, whether the restaurant has gluten-free options and more. Indulge!
Banff’s Pizza Places
In the table below I neatly served up all the necessary information about the pizza joints and restaurants I described below. The ratings are all derived from Google.
The criterion I used is 100 ratings or more. Only Pizza Pizza has no rating mentioned as there were fewer than 100 ratings on Google when I compiled this table.

Aardvark Pizza & Sub
Probably the most famous pizza place in town. Aardvark Pizza & Sub has been around for decades and is known for its amazing pizzas, subs, tacos and poutine. It’s conveniently located at Caribou Street, edging Banff Avenue, right in the middle of town.
It has the classics, like Margherita, Pepperoni and the Hawai pizza. And then there are pizzas with illustrious names like Frank’s Donair Pie, Veganator, Acropolis and Aardvark.
The latter is the house’s specialty, of course. With ingredients like Italian tomato sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushroom, green pepper, tomato, onion and black olive, absolutely a pizza you should try. Of course you can also build your own. Oh, and you can buy your pizza by the slice here.
This colorful place oozes passion for the yummy food they produce. Dining in is not really possible, except for the stools near the wall shelf. But in summer, Aardvark has a nice patio that allows you to eat your pizza on the spot.
They take the last pizza delivery call at 3 am. In case you get hungry in the middle of the night…

Regarding their pizzas: they come from a huge brick oven, producing finger-licking pizza products like the Godfather, Big Bird and Wheeler Hut. If that’s a bit too extravagant to your liking, not to worry. You can also order a good old pizza Margherita or a pizza Hawaii.

Pizza Pizza
Most Canadians are familiar with Pizza Pizza as there’s one in every single town (or so it seems). Americans or people from other countries might want to try it out as Pizza Pizza is an exclusive Canadian franchise. Expect more of a fast-food vibe here, just like Domino’s and, to a lesser extent, Boston Pizza.
It serves the famous wrapped Calzone pizza, among many others. This pizza place is the cheapest in Banff. It’s situated on Lynx Street, a bit further away from the center area, but as Banff is very compact, it’s still close to Banff Avenue. You can dine in and take out your pizza. Whatever pleases you. Try it out if you don’t want to shell out too much money and you absolutely crave pizza.

Una Pizza + Wine Banff
Want to eat pizza and drink wine? Una Pizza + Wine Banff is an excellent choice. Not because of their name, but because they live up to the promise their name holds. The restaurant is conveniently located in the modest Town Centre Mall on Caribou Street.
Una Pizza + Wine is part of a franchise formula with several restaurants in Calgary and one in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
This pizza joint has a cool selection of twelve pizzas for you to choose from, including the Margherita and Pepperoni. They also have a local pizza, aptly called the Banff Ave pizza, which comes with smoked bacon, fennel sausage, smoked mozzarella, maple syrup (!), and cracked pepper. For sure gotta try that one!

LUPO Italian Ristorante & Patio
Conveniently located in Wolf Street in downtown Banff, LUPO Italian Ristorante & Patio is an excellent choice if you crave pizza. It’s located at the second floor and their menu boasts five pizzas like the Classic Pepperoni and the pizza Margherita.
They also serve a pizza with the rather sinister name of Uncle Morty. It comes with white sauce, mortadella, pistachios, fontina, truffle honey. Although I must admit I haven’t personally tried it, it seems like a pizza worth trying!
By the way, if you’re company doesn’t fancy pizza, this restaurant has lots of other mouthwatering Italian dishes.
LUPO Italian Ristorante & Patio is conveniently located across Banff’s movie theater Lux Cinema. I’d say: One and one is two!

They have interesting names like the Double-Double, The Big Bird, and The Godfather. In case you wanna know the ingredients of the ominous sounding last one: prosciutto, confit garlic, olives, herbed panko, truffle oil, grana padano, mozzarella, and arugula. Sounds tasty if you ask me!
