62 East Cordova Street, Vancouver (Gastown)
I was definitely in the mood for pizza all this week, and to finish off the week I went with my friend Douglas to Nicli Antica Pizzeria on the edge of Gastown. Though the area around where Nicli's is isn't really my first choice to hang out, the interior of the restaurant completely made up for it. Super modern with sleek white furniture, brick walls and hardwood floors made the place look upscale and homey all at once - not to mention the smell of freshly baked pizza coming out of the ovens in the back corner of the restaurant. After being seated, Douglas and I pored over the menu, failing at the pronunciations of all the menu items but eventually settling on items that we could vaguely translate. Douglas had the Pesto BBT pizza which had pesto, bacon, tomatoes and fresh basil, and I had the Cavolo Nero E Funghi, which was a white pizza that had three kinds of mushrooms and kale. Each of the pizzas are "individually sized" with the intention that each person has their own. Depending on how hungry you are, you might be better off sharing a few pizzas and appetizers, but Douglas and I were able to finish our own pizzas over time. The trick is to definitely pace yourself, making time for good conversation in between bites. The pizzas were delicious, and definitely on the higher end of the price scale. Despite the price, the pizza is worth the splruge and you won't regret it. Also, make sure you check out the "secret pizza" that is found on the back of the menu! Yelp tip (which I unfortunately did not notice until I left the restaurant) - check in on Yelp and get 10% off your purchase! :)
