Una Pizza Pie
Una Pizzeria has taken the long, narrow space formerly occupied by the Wicked Wedge (our 3 a.m. post-bar spot) and turned it into a chic eatery with a well-edited menu inspired by the owners’ favourite international dining spots.
Appies like sautéed prawns ($9) and Serrano ham with olive oil and minted melon ($10) are made right at the bar while veal and pork meatballs ($13) and flatiron steak ($19) come steaming hot out of the kitchen. Go for the pies (from classic margherita, $13, or a potato with provolone and alfalfa honey, $15). While you nosh,check out illustrations by Calgary artist Wilford Barrington on the chalkboard walls; the sketches are of actual people roaming around the 17th Avenue neighbourhood, so you might just see yourself on the wall.
