Avatara Pizza (Macleod Trail)
The south branch of Avatara Pizza, on Macleod Trail SW - a wood-fired oven, a small cosy room, and the same gluten-free and vegan pies that made the Parkdale original a celiac destination. Listed as halal on Zabihah with the original. What to order The sauce is what every review ends up talking about - reviewers who have eaten pizza around the world put it near the top. The Taco Fiesta with pineapple and spicy avocado sauce, the lasagna, and the gluten-free chicken fingers are the orders named; one table ordered two pizzas and then a third. Staff know their allergens, which for the vegan-and-gluten-free crowd is the whole reason to come. Good to know Closed Mondays; 11:30am to 9pm otherwise, 9:30pm on Friday and Saturday, from noon on Sunday. Small for dining in; takeout and delivery; good for children with a children's menu, vegetarian options, step-free entrance, free parking. Rated 4.5 from 200 Google reviews.
