Pizza 73 (26 Ave NE)
A 26 Ave NE store covering Marlborough and Rundle, in a quadrant where the independent halal pizzerias mostly close earlier than this one does. What "halal" means here, exactly Pizza 73 runs a real halal program rather than a rumour: halal pepperoni as a distinct product alongside its original, a halal-friendly menu at participating stores, and a second brand — Halal Pizza and Wings by Pizza 73 — that this address runs on the delivery apps. There is no separate shop behind that name; it is this kitchen with the halal menu forward. What the chain does not do is certify. Its own store pages say beliefs about what counts as halal vary and ask you to confirm in store, which is an honest position for a franchise whose halal and conventional toppings share a kitchen — and it is not a certification. Three questions settle it at the counter: is the halal pepperoni in stock, is the chicken halal, and are they kept separate from the conventional toppings. A store that answers crisply is telling you something; so is one that does not. If your standard is a fully halal kitchen, the independents in the pizza guide need none of these questions asked.
