Hey foodie fam,

If you’re a pizza lover, then you must have your favourite pie joint. We are so blessed to have so many different styles of pizza in town. Are you a fan of New York style? Or Neapolitan? Do you prefer thin or thick crust? What are your favourite toppings? Are you a meat lover or all vegetarian? Let us know at [email protected].

We love all pizzas in all shapes and forms. My favourite would have to be chicken and mushroom with LOTS and LOTS of cheese!

Stay cool and stay hydrated,

WHAT’S HOT

La Ruota is the place to go to get that perfect slice of ’za

Who says a classic Neapolitan pizza slice has to be a margherita?

La Ruota in Coquitlam has one of the most extensive menus we’ve ever seen for a Neapolitan pizza shop, with everything from baked potatoes to artichokes to smoked salmon and so much more. We counted a whopping 35 possible pizzas that you can order on La Ruota’s signature crust, and that’s not even getting started on the near limitless possibilities presented by the create-your-own option.
