1. Antico Pizza Napoletana
Antico Pizza Napoletana is an award-winning pizzeria located in downtown Kelowna. Since opening in 2016, it has received numerous accolades, including being named one of the top three “pizzerias to try before you die” in Canada and ranked 14th among North America’s best pizzerias. With a minimalist interior and a beautiful patio, Antico offers quick service and delicious, mouthwatering Neapolitan pizza. The pizza itself is 100% wood-fired from a custom-built oven in Naples – it doesn’t get more authentic than this!
2. Pizzeria Tratto Napoletana
Dining at Pizzeria Tratto is like transporting to Italy for the evening. Handcrafted pizza paired with local wine or classic Italian cocktails, what could be better? The timeless Neapolitan pizza is made with imported double zero flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and fior di latte cheese. With minimal toppings, the pizzas have a balanced flavour, a lightly charred crust, and are slightly chewy and soft in the center. Next time you’re looking for top-notch authentic pizza in Penticton, make this your go-to.
3. Pane Vino Pizzeria
Sitting quietly amongst the rolling vineyards and orchards of Lake Country is where you’ll find Pane Vino Pizzeria. This family-owned farm-to-table pizzeria knows authentic Neapolitan better than almost anyone around. Locally sourced ingredients, handmade dough, and a traditional wood-fired crust, there is a reason why Pane Vino has gained popularity so rapidly. Pair one of their delicious pizzas with a handcrafted Italian cocktail, and you’re in for a treat.
4. Uncle Dave’s Pizzeria
Uncle Dave’s Pizzeria has been a popular pizza joint in Vernon for over twenty years and is most well known for savoury pizza, hearty pasta, and fresh salads. With a menu that includes unique pizza combinations like Deed’s Sweet Chili Chicken and Dave’s Belly Buster, as well as classic cheese and pepperoni pies, Uncle Dave’s has something for all cravings and preferences. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always ready to serve you another round, making it a great place to catch the game with friends. Oh ya, with the 2-for-1 pizza special, how could you say no?
5. DunnEnzies Pizza Co.
You can’t have an Okanagan pizza discussion and not mention DunnEnzies. With its beginnings as a small mom & pop pizza joint in downtown Kelowna in 2010, DunnEnzies has expanded into three locations and is one of the city’s most favourited pizza companies. Their handmade dough combined with a wide variety of creative toppings makes eating here a one-way trip to flavour town. Ever tried honey on the crust? We hadn’t either until eating here – and now we can’t go without it!
6. Yaki’s Pizza & Subs
A Summerland Classic. Yaki’s knows what it takes to create a hearty, flavourful, and filling pizza. With names like Caesar Chicken Delight, Popeye, and Pizza Burger Delight, it’s the perfect place to try something new. This family-owned local favourite takes pride in ensuring everything is made with fresh and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Our preferred way to enjoy Yaki’s is while watching the sunset from the beach on a warm summer evening, or as we call it, the Okanagan way.
7. Baby Rae’s Pizza
Our favourite place for quality pizza in Oliver. Baby Rae’s knows the importance of real food made directly from scratch, something obvious in each bite. From the classic Specialty pizzas to their creative and filing Supreme pizzas, there’s no shortage of combinations to suit every craving. If none of those stand out to you, build your own pie and customize it exactly how you’d like it.
