Whether you crave traditional or inventive, their extensive selection has something to tantalize every palate. The Greek Pizza is a standout, boasting crisp, vibrant veggies paired with savory cheeses that create a fresh yet indulgent experience. For those with a meat craving, the All Meat Pizza and Double Cheese Double Pepperoni and Mushrooms Pizza deliver generous, flavorful toppings on a perfectly crispy crust that’s both chewy and golden brown.

Beyond pizza, Gus’s offers a variety of mouthwatering dishes like the hearty Baked Tortellini Mama—rich, baked pasta layered with comforting cheese and savory sauce—and the tasty Barbecue Chicken with Ground Beef Pizza, which brings together smoky and savory notes for a memorable bite.

    We ate here this past weekend and our only regret is we didn't try it sooner. We enjoyed everything from the nice atmosphere, Cassidy our great server, and the delicious food. We had the French onion soup, chicken and pesto pizza and pistachio cheesecake. Everything was fresh and tasty. I wasn't expecting the cheesecake to be so good, but it's worth returning just for that. Needless to say we will be back. Also, don't worry about parking, you can register your license plate for 2 hours of free parking.

    My mom used to work in the building so I have fond memories. There's a reason Gus's has been around since 1991. Note that there's free parking if dining in so don't pay before you go in. Pizzas are still amazing. French onion soup was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. There's obviously regulars that they have rapport with. If you need a break from hospital food or you're nearby Gus's is a must try.

    We had the best server who was so attentive and kind! Truly a delightful experience thanks to her professionalism. The food was great, especially for lunch Fehr. We had the chicken Caesar salad salad and a pizza. Excellent value, good quality, but the excellent serving staff really was memorable!

    The pizza was really good. The littles enjoyed the Pasta and Meatball sub, as well as the wings and dessert. I liked that the wings were baked and not overly sauced. Service was great. Also if you plan to eat at the restaurant, they will validate your parking, so no need to get a ticket ahead of time. The place wasnt busy, but was non stop take out orders.

    Second time visiting Gus’s. Last time was 6-8 months ago. Tonight we were deciding where to go for pizza, and remembered that Gus’s was pretty good last time. Well, tonight our pizza was outstanding. We had vegetarian, Gus special, and a pepperoni for a fam of 4. Toppings were generous, veggies crisp, crust was tasty and crispy, and the cheese was perfectly browned on top. Best pizza I’ve had in recent memory. Server Riley was pleasant and attentive. Place is a gem.

    Just dropped in for a late dinner. Even though it was late (8:30pm) the pasta (Lasagna and Manicotti) tasted like it was just made! And as a Wednesday special was 1/2 off a bottle of wine…. we had a very nice Malbec! Service was informative, friendly and as speedy as fresh pasta takes to make. Definitely recommending Gus’s Pizza if you are in Calgary!!

    Lovely place to sit and enjoy your pizza! Yummy pizza, everyone should try this place out if possible. One doesn’t need to pay for the parking if dining in or for take out. Location is near the hospital and a very busy spot.
