"Great Slice!"
Nicole
December 2011 — "If you are looking for a great slice of pizza in Calgary, you need to check out Michaels Pizza on 10 Avenue. This little hole in wall opens up into a two story restaurant crammed with tables to house the massive lunch crowds that fill this place every noon hour. The walls are decorated with memorabilia from all of the famous and less than famous people who have come to enjoy Michaels Pizza over the years. Fancy by no means, but comfortable and very homey feeling. The smells that fill the air do not disappoint. Their pizza is the best. Crispy thick crust and always fresh deep dish toppings. My favorite is Michaels Special, with pepperoni, mushrooms, beef, onions, ham, green pepper and shrimp. It’s all you need on a pizza. I don’t know if the servers are part owners of the business but they sure act like it. Very friendly and attentive and always willing to go the extra mile to make a customer happy."

"A hidden gem"
Henry
August 2011 — "Michaels Restaurant Pizza Bar is a bit of a hidden gem in Calgary's dining scene. If it had not been for a recent lunch with fellow co-workers I would not have came across this great little restaurant. It is hidden away on the second floor of an old building on 10th Ave downtown. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a full service bar as well as a great selection of delicious pizza. The prices were very reasonable as most of the items including large pizzas were between $10 and $20 each and big enough to share amongst several friends. The service was fast and friendly and there are plenty of beers on tap to choose from as well. The entrance is thru a small door on the lower level of the building and leads up to a big open area on the second floor. Recommended for a quick bite downtown."

"Soggy Pizza"
Jason
December 2008 — "Being in the mood for Pizza, I decided to try out Michael’s Pizza for lunch. The restaurant itself is relatively small and split into two different levels. The upstairs was bright with large windows and rather cozy. Since the word Pizza was in the restaurant name I figured the pizza must be good. After looking at the menu I settled on the Michael’s Special, which includes toppings of ham, pepperoni, shrimp, onions, green peppers and mushroom. We had to wait about 20 minutes for the pizza to arrive, but at least it came out fresh from the oven. Visually, the pizza looked very tasty. Lots of melted cheese, nice thick golden brown crust and lots of toppings. I was a little disappointed after biting into it though, as I found the bottom of the pizza to be moist and soggy. Perhaps from being overloaded with the toppings. The crust was dry and bland tasting. I was a little disappointed in the overall quality of the pizza for these reasons. The price was about $12 dollars for a small pizza."

"Lots Of Toppings"
Zoey
September 2008 — "I've had Micheal's pizza a few times and have always enjoyed it. The pizza is deep dish style and is loaded with toppings. If you love cheese, then this pizza is for you! However, I find after a couple slices the toppings can be a bit overwhelming, because they are layered on so thick. A couple of slices of Michael's pizza is a tasty and filling meal."

"Very filling"
andrea
October 2007 — "I work close to Micheal's and I've been here two or three times. This visit, we decided to share a house pizza and it was very very filling. Just two slices and I was done. The pizza itself is topped nice and thick, with feta cheese baked right in, not sprinkled on top (what most other pizza joints do when you add feta cheese). Yes, like the other reviewers noted, the pizza is very greasy, but it still tastes great. And I generally don't like greasy foods.
If you go for lunch, I suggest you go after the lunch rush, around 1pm. It's much quieter and you could actually hear the conversation at your table. "

"Mmmmmmm...Cheeeeese."
Wendi
August 2006 — "Okay, so the pizza is in fact greasy, but only because there is so much gosh darn cheese on it! If you like cheese, eat this pizza. If you are lactose intolerant, beware. The only other thing I've eaten at this restaurant is the ceasar salad which was good, but missed that bite that some salads have. Downstairs is a bit dark, but upstairs has a totally different atmosphere with lots of natural light coming in through large windows. The rooftop patio is sunny and sheltered and has always been quiet when we've been, assuring great service. Try the Moustache lager. It's cheap, it's cold, it's delish."

"A Little Too Greasy"Mike
August 2006 — "I've got to disagree with some of the other reviews for Michael's Pizza. While I do enjoy the pizza, I don't think it's exceptional (it's a little on the heavy/greasy side). Also, I think the restaurant is a bit dark and dingy. I guess I'll have to try the patio."

"Delicious!"Sarah
August 2006 — "Michael's might just be my favourite place to get a yummy, fully-loaded, greasy pizza in Calgary. Topped with lots of cheese and baked to perfection, I recommend the House pizza, which has a lot of different toppings on it, including feta cheese...yum! The restaurant also boasts a fantastic rooftop patio that is rarely busy. It's like a secret hideaway on the edge of downtown. "

"Great Patio, Great Food"Martha
July 2006 — "I work right by this place and have had their pizza many times. It is quite greasy but oh so good. Their house pizza is great - it has ham, feta, vegetables and some other stuff. Their sunny patio is tucked away from the crazys of 10th ave, and they have cheap beer...perfect for a summer day. "
