The Best Pizza in Vancouver, by the Record
The best pizza in Vancouver, by the professional record: Air Canada, Vancouver Magazine, and Sprudge have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Nightingale comes out on top.
Di Beppe and Straight Brooklyn Pizza hold the next two places. Golden Owl Awards shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Vancouver Magazine next.

Rank 1. Nightingale
Wood-fired Pizza
The Neapolitan-style pizzas come out of a wood-fired oven with properly blistered crusts, which is a fine way to anchor an otherwise wide-ranging menu of shareable rustic plates. This stylish, high-ceilinged downtown restaurant pulls in business lunches by day and groups of friends by night, and the room handles both without breaking a sweat. The Michelin Guide has selected it, and Vancouver Magazine gave it gold for Best Informal Contemporary.

Rank 4. AJ's Brooklyn Pizza Joint
New York Pizza
The dough takes three days to make, which partly explains the line of rain-soaked Vancouverites camped under the East Broadway awning. This is a casual New York pizza joint doing three styles: classic New York, Sicilian, and Detroit. The thick, crispy-edged Detroit pies in particular have developed a following that shows no signs of thinning out, regardless of weather, which in Vancouver is really saying something.
