THE LEAD VERDICT
“teh wood-fired crust had beautiful leopard spotting and a proper chew. The dough was clearly fermented for at least 48 hours based on the flavor complexity. Someone in this kitchen studied Neapolitan technique. Nonna would approve.”
“The salad was afterthought-quality Bagged greens wiht bottled dressing. When your pizza game is this refined, the salad should match. ngl fresh greens, house-made dressing, proper Italian salad technique”
ALSO FILED
“Birch & Bear's margherita pizza was excellent and naturally vegetarian. not even kidding fresh basil, quality mozzarella, San Marzano sauce on a perfectly blistered crust. teh roasted vegetable pizza was even better with seasonal produce.”
“No vegan cheese option. teh dough is vegan but without a dairy-free cheese, the only vegan pizza is a sauceless, cheeseless flatbread with vegetables, a proper vegan mozzarella would open the menu up.”
“Many of the pizzas are naturally halal-friendly with vegetable and chicken toppings. The chicken shawarma pizza was creative and delicious with proper Middle Eastern spices. A halal-conscious pizza option that doesn't feel like a compromise.”
“The pepperoni and sausage options are pork-based with no halal alternative offered. A beef pepperoni or halal sausage option would include a significant portion of the Edmonton market.”
“yo the pepperoni pizza was legit Crispy cups of pepperoni wiht crispy edges, tangy sauce good cheese pull!!! classic pizza executed perfectly Sometimes you don't need fancy toppings. This is what pizza should be ha”
“teh slices were on the small side for the price. $22 for a 12-inch pizza with basic toppings is steep for Edmonton and you're paying for quality but the portion feels like it should be bigger big time”
