Best pizza Duncan hands down, he told me everything was fresh and he was 100% right. Great food, great service. And I’m pretty sure he gave me my wings for free. Absolutely blown away

Best pizza on vancouver island. Very specific recipe that hits like ninja turtles in the 90s. Dough is crazy good and hand tossed. Get extra sauce you wont regret it

Best authentic Italian pizza in Duncan. Very friendly and never enough cheese. This pizza was made by the cheese gods. Never order double cheese or you will end up in a cheese coma. My go to for traditional authentic Italian pizza. Grabbing a pie now!

Why show a pic of half a pizza? Because it smells, looks, and tastes so good. Good quality ingredients, well made, friendly service.

Great Crust , real cheese, perfect char on the edges and bottom. Very nice owner. Fresh and flavorful toppings. 2 large 58 dollars taxes In. The menu on the site is 5 years old, so don't be shocked. of course the price reflects on today's prices everywhere, and I'd rather pay for quality than quantity. This guy makes real pizza and it's worth every penny. If you like fluffy rolled thick bread type crust, stick to the chain stores. If you want authentic pizza, give this place a try. I'll be back for sure.

Reminded me of pizza you would get at chuckie cheeses. Cheap pepperoni, lots of cheap rubbery cheese to rot your gut, bland sauce and bloody expensive. Ate half a slice and gave my dog what he would call the best meal of the month.

After an afternoon spent volunteering in the community, we had two families hop over for a quick lunch. The owner Nick was extremely courteous and friendly. He made us pizza that was made on fresh handmade dough, served piping hot with lots of authentic cheese and fresh ingredients. It was so good that there was silence at the tables....everyone was thoroughly enjoying their slices. He wasnt even opened yet...thanks Nick for good conversation and awesome pizza!

Simply the best pizza in Cowichan! Small business with high quality ingredients and excellent pizzas. Traditional flying dough, fresh vegetables, high quality local meat, high quality cheese (not pre shredded non sense). There is a delivery charge and if you order too late they may run out of dough.

So they screwed up our order (of course realized after the driver got a 10.00 tip!) I asked for no mushrooms and I got mushrooms. Called to ask them to send a new one and id give them the wrong one back. The owner had the nerve to argue with me (customers always right??) and accuse me of looking for free food! We only ever order the authentic, which I KNOW has mushrooms, I always say no mushrooms. He tried to repeat the whole conversation back to me (leaving out my request of no mushrooms), my husband was sitting right there and heard me order! I told him all I wanted was a new Pizza without mushrooms, would give him back the untouched one and he still wouldn t admit it or fix it!! And after we tipped the driver 10.00 for a 2 minute drive!! Never again. He actually hung up on me!

Pizza is decent. Its nice to know youre getting a pie that isnt made with low quality ingredients. But I wasnt remotely impressed for any kind of wow factor on Italian flavoring. It tastes good, but to me its more average. Also they dont take foreign Visa because it takes 2 weeks to clear?? Money is money, I really hope the business isnt that fragile since locals love it. Locals probably know its a good place for pizza kids like.

Simply the finest pizza anywhere! Great quality ingredients, secret family recipes and more love, care for quality and unmatched attention to detail is just some of what makes this the best pizza on Earth! If you find a better pizza it will be from another planet and made by some strange alien species that lives on a steady diet of strictly pizza because nobody on planet Earth makes better pizza than the wonderful folks at Authentic Pizza! Ive had more kinds and brands of pizza than most people have even heard of and nothing even comes close to the quality, taste and general appearance of the pizza made and delivered at Authentic Pizza! If you can show me a better pizza Ill show you a liar, Ill simply stand you up infront of a mirror! Ive managed a Pizzeria, worked for several restaurants that specialize in pizza and once I found Authentic Pizza Ive been unable to find a comparison, not even in the same league let alone ball field. Authentic Pizza simply is the best! Dough made fresh each day, sauce made from scratch, toppings cut and sliced throughout the evening to ensure maximum freshness and uncompromised quality in each and every bite! Youve had all of the run of the mill, generic pizza available and these franchises keep coming up with gimmicks like dipping sauce to keep you ordering but when its as good as it is at Authentic Pizza you dont need dipping sauce or other gimmicks youre just so satisfied with the pizza you wouldnt want to spoil it with a dipping sauce!

This is hands down by far the best pizza in Canada! The dough is made fresh daily, the cheese is graded daily with an in house combination producing the perfect blend. Vegetables are hand cut as required, everything is fresh and of superior quality. The sauce is also an in house creation and is made from quality ingredients. The dough and sauce are both family recipes passed down for several generations. The food cant be beet and they offer delivery and dine in options. You wont be disappointed if you order a pizza dont expect it to be quick, to make something this good requires time. A family run business of the finest quality.
