Cold Beer & Pizza has quickly risen as a standout gem in Calgary's vibrant dining scene. Located at 1019 17 Ave SW, it artfully combines a relaxed bar atmosphere with delectable food offerings. The hallmark of this establishment is undoubtedly its Shorty Pizzas, which deliver a tantalizing blend of unique toppings and an expertly crafted crust. Reviewers rave about the fluffy, airy texture and rich flavor profile of the dough, complemented by fresh ingredients and exceptional quality. Patrons like John Geick and Mustafa Saeed highlight the delightful pizza varieties, including the Greek Freak, often enhanced with indulgent toppings like beef salami and hot honey—a personal favorite for many. The laid-back vibes and friendly service, as noted by Olivia Goemans, create an inviting space perfect for social gatherings. Whether you're taking a break in the afternoon or unwinding after work, Cold Beer & Pizza offers a comfortable setting, reminiscent of a dive bar yet impeccably clean and well-lit. The drink menu is approachable, making it easy to enjoy a cold beer alongside slices that are simply unforgettable. With everything from crispy side items to mouthwatering sandwiches, this establishment deserves its place on your list of must-visit spots. I can't wait to return for more delicious creations and a refreshing drink, especially when the patio opens!

Reviews For Cold Beer & Pizza

Cold Beer & pizza is easily one of my favorite pizza places in Calgary and definitely one of the most unique pizzas in Calgary. Everything is a 10/10. The dough is amazing, super light and flavorful, crispy and soft. All the ingredients are fresh and exceptional quality. Service is different but still very good and the staff are very friendly. But at the end of the day the food is the star.

By far my favorite pizza in the city. Great vibes and service. The crust looks thick but is very airy and light. We had the Greek Freak and added all beef Salami with hot honey drizzle on top. I'm hoping for more locations around the city soon!

Wow. What a great pizza. It is uniquely its own, and in the best way. I can’t imagine someone not liking their style, regardless of what type of pizza they enjoy the most. Airy and flavourful crust, fantastic sauce, fresh toppings, good cheese. If you’re wondering if you should try it, do it! I’ll definitely be ordering again. Easily on my list of top 5 pizza joints in the city. Can’t speak to the service and atmosphere as I ordered online.

The pizza crust is top-notch. Fluffy, soft, with a crisp crust. It's delicious. While I can't speak for the nightlife, this venue is pretty darn great in the afternoons. Comfortable, slightly industrial, a hint of dive bar - yet clean, with lots of seating, and good lighting.

This place is a fantastic addition to 17th ave! The pizza was delicious, the drink menu was approachable and the service was great. This place really nails the laidback vibe and is a great option for catching up with people and splitting a few pizzas. Not over the top, not ridiculously priced and the service is top notch without being in your face. Can’t wait to come back when the patio is open this summer!

I stopped by Cold Beer & Pizza in Calgary and had the Diablo pizza and wow, it did not disappoint. If you like your pizza with a bit of a kick, this one hits the spot. It had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, with a crispy, slightly chewy crust that held everything together beautifully. The toppings were fresh, and the heat from the spicy sausage and peppers gave it that extra edge without being overwhelming. The vibe of the place is super chill, a great spot to hang out with friends or just grab a slice and a cold beer after work. The staff were friendly and quick, and the beer selection was solid, with lots of local options. Definitely coming back to try more of their pizzas. Diablo is a must-try if you’re into bold flavors.

I’ve been coming here since it opened and the quality has never changed. The best pizza in the city in my opinion. Absolutely phenomenal. Everything on the menu is great but I’d recommend the Greek freak with the beef salami! Amazing vibes and service! Owner and managers are super sweet too!

Came here on a Saturday evening with my boyfriend. We were able to get a table right away. We got the 1/2 meter diablo pizza as well as a house salad. The pizza is absolutely delicious, and the crust is so good I could just keep eating it all day long. The salad also tasted great and super fresh. The staff are really nice, friendly, and welcoming. The place is clean and well-kept. Overall, we had a wonderful time! This is one of the best pizza places in Calgary for sure and it’s become one of our favorites! I already can’t wait to come back and I told all my family and friends about it hehe.
