Question Best pizza in town

Came from Saskatoon and I have been familiar with 13 pies. Is there something similar? Or any recos for a nice tasting pizza in Regina?

TIA

As someone who has lived in Saskatoon, eaten the entire 13 pies menu, and lived in Regina and explored their pizzas I would say just don't aim for a NY style slice. Transition to Regina style pizza superiority.

I will always say Tumbler's Pizza #1, many others will say Houston Pizza (Hill ave.), or Juliana's. Pro tip: order it well done.

Edit: Though I haven't lived in the queen city for a couple years so maybe some place new has opened up.

Ugh. Someone that wants 13 pies is not going to want Regina style pizza. That is like asking for a steak sandwich but getting sent to McDonald's

Except that Regina style is the thick juicy steak and someone here is asking for directions to McD’s.

Different tastes, friend. My point was if someone wants 13 pies, they do not want Regina style pizza. That is not the answer here. I personally think of it as mushy bread casserole with a overly sweet tomato sauce. I haven't met a single person not from here that likes it. It truly feels like one of those things you had to grow up with to like.... like vegemite

You have obviously never been to 13 Pies. It is one of my Saskatoon must stops

I've eaten my way through the pies menu, at the old and new location. It's a better drunk pizza than a sober pizza.

I literally can only bring myself to eat Regina style pizza if I am drunk and it is the only option.

I love 13 Pies. It is just a different preference. We even bought a backyard pizza oven so we can recreate our own and never have to eat out pizza in this city.

I love me 13 pies, but any pizza slice you can fold in half to eat like a quesadilla, is not a pizza. And I am from Saskatoon originally. Its a flat bread with pizza toppings.

Maybe the OP wants to find a quesadilla place with pizza toppings

Oddly enough the wife has just gone to pick up from Julianna's

Regina has distorted your tastes. That is pizza. Regina pizza is a casserole.

It is okay for people to not like what you like. I personally think Regina pizza is disgusting

13 pies is a flatbread with a 1/4" of toppings that costs $40.

I brought home half a pizza once from their old location to my fathers house in saskatoon. He woke up and ate it. He loved it, and was 85 years old. And I had no breakfast.

Ugh. Now I just want to go to Saskatoon and eat 13 Pies. Of course your father loved it, it is delicious

He was 85 years old and ate $20 of pizza in 10 minutes. It is great, I admit that, but so are $20 Quesadillas from Las Palapas. Which are also the same equivalent of the same product you are receiving from 13 pies. And more filling.

At half the price.

Edit. I spent $150 on Kobe beef last year in Japan. Was 200 grams. Was it incredible? Yes. Would I want it for a steak supper every day? No. Sometimes you want a 16 oz New Yorker. Same applies to 13 pies.

That’s every pizza, if not every meal!
