Avatara Pizza Ltd.
Halal wood-fired pizza counter on 3 Ave NW in Parkdale, known for its gluten-free and vegan pizzas. The kitchen is celiac-safe, and there is a second Avatara on Macleod Trail SW. What to order The gluten-free thin crust is the one to get, and a 12-inch pizza is enough for two. The New York with green pepper is a good one to try. The gourmet cheese sticks come with homemade pasta and bruschetta sauces; you can ask for extra cheese for a small fee. The chicken fingers go well with the plum sauce, and the chocolate cake is the dessert to finish with. Good to know Often one person runs the whole shop, and the service is still attentive. Prices run a little higher than a typical pizza counter, and the chicken is hormone-free.
