Tom's House of Pizza

Ever since moving to Calgary I had noticed Tom's. There are 3 locations I know of in the city, and they all reside alongside shitty little bars. So is this a shitty little pizza place? I had heard good things and bad things, but recently I got to decide for myself.

This place rocks! Nice snappy thin crust with the cheese UNDER all the toppings. It is the anti-thesis of the typical Calgary pizza. Even the pepperoni is on top, which I have never seen before. But since the pepperoni is on top, there is nothing really holding the veggies into place. This posed a slight problem to the mechanics of eating, but the toppings were so fresh and lovely we really didn't mind. Actually, that's not even pepperoni on our pizza. It's "Italian salami", and it is much better quality than your school lunch variety salami. Yum. Three of us sat down and consumed this $20 dollar pizza, making noises of delight and surprise at how good it was, and what a nice alternative to the Greek style pizzas available everywhere in Calgary. It is even a lovely addition to the other thin crust places in town, which can often serve floppy "authentic" Italian pizzas. Tom's isn't trying to be anything. Standard but quality pizza toppings arranged in a somewhat unusual manner. We loved it and we will be back.
