Rocket Pie Pizza - Canmore

Let me tell you... I strongly disagree with those who have given this place a low rating. Why? Because I can confidently say that this pizza was outstanding. If you knew the high standards I have, you'd understand my enthusiasm. As for me and this restaurant, I have no hesitation in giving it 5 STARS. Yes, you heard me right—5 stars, and no hesitation whatsoever. The balance of pepperoni to crust is perfect, and their famous chili oil on the side is simply unbeatable. Want me to prove it? Just give me a call, and I’ll be sure to update you on my experience. Trust me. Rocket Pies offers exceptional service, cozy booths, delicious pizzas, and an all-around great vibe. That’s the bottom line. Thanks!

I would rate this restaurant between 4.5 and 5 stars. While it's not the best pizza I've ever had, it was still quite good. I have high standards due to my location in the states. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and cheerful, taking excellent care of us despite the busy atmosphere and being slightly short-staffed. We started with a shared plate of olives, which were delicious, and I especially enjoyed the red ones, which I hadn't tried before. We ordered the prosciutto pizza and the margherita pizza, and I preferred the margherita. The homemade chili oil was the highlight of the meal; I’m not usually a fan of chili oil, but this one was fantastic, and my friend even bought a bottle to take home. They also had a solid selection of local beers!

No doubt the pizza dough was excellent because the crust on its own tasted great. I was severely disappointed with the center area of the pizza though. The crust was noticeably wet at the bottom and flopped over immediately when lifted, causing THE TOPPINGS TO FALL OFF THE PIZZA. This was a huge problem with the capricciosa was that the ingredients were way too hydrated and heavy and just slid off the pizza and I HAD TO use utensils to eat it. Flavor was not bad. I like the ingredient combo but we got only like 1 prosciutto piece that spanned two slices. The Fungi was the only one and it stuck well to the pizza better (the toppings). Unfortunately, we didn 't really get the 'mushroom blend ' concept because it tasted like it was predominantly button or portabellos... one dimensional, and also lightly underseasoned. Idk why the base ended up so wet but it really made the pizza unenjoyable. These were 2 of the priciest pizzas too. Italian sodas (peach snd cream) were excellent though, and the waitress/hostess were very sweet. We didn 't get any water refills though just fyi but maybe there was a stand somewhere to refill. Idk. 6/10, would come again once in a blue moon... but would be hesitant to recommend.

So yummy!! The crust was nice and crisp and had a light layer of sauce which I love. My husband got the meatball calzone and it had great flavor too. Topped everything with the chili oil. Would eat here again. Chill vibe inside and friendly staff.

The hype is real. Believe the hype. Stayed in Canmore for just under a week. Got Rocket Pie for take out on night 2, had to come back for seconds. First night we got a margarita pizza, which was a 10/10. And the creamy garlic dip leveled it up. Second trip, we got a pepperoni pizza, the kale salad, and the house focaccia bread. Hands down one of the best pizzas we've ever had (we are from northern NJ, basically NYC-adjacent; we know good pizza). Go here if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.
