What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Aardvark Pizza & Sub is a long-standing Banff establishment praised for its unique pizza creations, friendly service, and late-night availability. While many rave about specific gourmet pizzas and appreciate the value, some long-time locals note a decline in quality and consistency over the years, particularly with slice availability and even pizza cutting. Despite mixed reviews on food consistency, its reputation as a reliable spot for comfort food, especially for late-night bites, persists.
"TOTALLY A FIND! Nevermind the negative reviews. I was staying in Banff and wanted a quick bite. This litteraly little GEM was across the street from my hotel, so on with the snow boots and off I went. Let me make this 110% CLEAR... THIS PLACE ROCKS! Ordered the 4 choice pizza, thin crust, creamy pesto sauce, chicken, feta, mushrooms and green olives and TONS of it all. This was by far one of the BEST pies I have ever had! Worth every penny too! DON'T HESITATE! If Pizza is what you want, RUN, DON'T WALK! You won't be disappointed!"

"Awesome New York style slices! Good dough and gravy! Cheapest thing to eat in Banff and tastes great too! Just a few seats available to eat there but easy enough to eat a slice on the run."

"👍👍🍕Highly Recommend...
After a frustrating walk from restaurant to restaurant with 30-60 minute wait times we stumbled across this hidden Gem.
Best toasted Assorted Sub I have ever had. (I was too hungry to take pictures 🤣🤣) The shop is quite small, but there were 2 large picnic tables outside to eat there.
The next day, after a long day of glacier and Lake exploration, we stopped into Banff for a quick bite and went directly to Aardvark Pizza for pizza 🍕 this time.
I HIGHLY Recommend this little hidden gem for a quick bite to eat and to avoid long wait times at overpriced restaurants.
(Only regret was no picking up a t-Shirt🤣)"

Definitely the Best Banff Pizza Shop
They beat every other restaurant in the National Park at providing the highest quality food and at a price that is far less than any of their competitors. I was looking for a place to have lunch this Sunday when we were mountain biking in Banff up to Lake Louise but didn’t want to stop at any of the franchise places or one of the tourist trap places on mainstreet. I was heading down a side street that I had never been on before and came across this place.
