Leva
11053 86th Avenue NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 0X1It makes sense that this café, located near the University of Alberta, serves pizza. After all, isn’t pizza a food group for university students? But, it’s not just students that flock to Leva Café for their gourmet pizzas. The pizza menu is simple but to the point, and as with the rest of the café’s menu, it may change seasonally. That’s because many of the ingredients, like the fresh basil, are sourced locally. It all adds up to a decadent pie that pizza lovers of all ages can agree on.

Beer Revolution
11736 104 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5K 2T7Despite the fact that Beer Revolution is a pub, they actually have really great gourmet pizza. Each thin crust pizza comes with tons of toppings.

Their namesake, the Bend Deluxe, is piled high with marinara sauce, mozzarella, ground beef, pepperoni, capicola, mushrooms, onions, green onions and amorosa tomatoes. At $15 a pie, the prices are pretty reasonable, making up for the limited choices in toppings.
Steel Wheels
10307 85 Ave Nw, Edmonton, AB T6E 6N7A Whyte Avenue staple, especially for the late night crowd, this graffiti-covered spot is known for its eclectic mix of pizza and Korean food.
