Nice atmosphere, decorations. Friendly staff, and prompt service. Pizza was fair. Im not a fan of thin crust pizza, and was a bit soggy. Was disappointed that its called "Rally pizza", but when there are only a handful of pizza designs offered. I was looking for a basic Canadian bacon and pineapple, but to find they dont have the design, and furthermore, no pineapple, period. I was able to add toppings to an already designed pizza, but 2 toppings (green olives, and Canadian bacon), costs me $4, and $3 to add. 7.00 bucks for 2 toppings, outrageous! Crispy potatoes were tasty, family liked the camp fire sundae, and the pumpkin pie concrete. Finally, my biggest disappointment is the tipping standards for the restaurant. On the receipt, that the tips are shared by everyone. Meaning, waiter/waitress, cooks, and the others. Myself, coming from the service industry, working as a waiter in restaurants, casual, and fine dining on cruise ships. I am disappointed that someone other than the person, or persons that serves me is making decisions on how, or where my tip to them is dispersed. That choice, after I give the tip, should be at the discretion of the waitperson that I give it to. It could be that, the service was GREAT, but, the food was poor... Or vise versa. It gives more incentive to the waitperson, to work for the tip, and appreciate the tip, if they know that it will be going into their pocket. And if they choose, which many do, they give a percentage to the others. But that s their choice. Myself, if the food is well cooked, I personally will tip the cook, as well as the waitperson. But it shouldnt be the owners decision, especially when, the wait staff are taxed on the tips, and many are included as part of their wage. Overall it was a good experience. A review is just that, someones opinion.

Great to have a true Neapolitan pizza joint in Vancouver. We just stopped in for a light meal, but will definitely return for more. Ordered the polenta and a margherita pie. Polenta was good, but needed a PINCH of salt. Salsa verde had a nice herbacious quality to it. The pizza is great. Thin crust, nicely cooked, good char on the crust. Tomato sauce is simple, straightforward, and bright. Topped appropriately. The crust had that beautiful slow fermented tang to it, and great flavor and texture. I would have liked a bit more rise, and air pockets in the crust, but pizza can be finnicky even for the pros. Rally cap cocktail was a nice option. You dont see a lot of vermouth based cocktails around Vancouver. Refreshing, but needed a touch more campari to balance the sweet. Beer list was uninspired and too monochromatic. 3 IPAs on a 5 beer list? Cmon. You need a kolsch, pale ale, or basic lager on there guys. Not everyone drinks overhopped IPAs. Overall, the best pizza in Vancouver. Give them a try, and embrace Neapolitan pies. Dont listen to the bad reviews talking about burnt crust and stingy toppings. Those rednecks dont know what Neapolitan pizza is. I look forward to supporting these guys on a regular basis.

This is the pizza that Ive been hoping Vancouver would finally get. Im talking about dough thats been made with love, and makes a crust thats full of flavor and crisps up beautifully. Toppings that are packed with flavor and leave you wanting more. Pizza that is balanced with the amount of toppings so the crust and sauce isnt drowned out or masked by a boatload of toppings. This is easily the best Neapolitan style pizza in Vancouver. You will pay a bit more, but you will get much more flavor with high quality, fresh, seasonal ingredients. Once youve had your amazing pizza, you will be tempted to call it quits there and leave with a happy belly- do not fall for that trap! Thats amateur hour! You need to rally (get it?) and get one of their frozen custard concretes. You will feel slightly bad for your gluttonous decision, but that will be made up for by how amazingly delicious your dessert is. Now you can leave for home on an even higher note and fall into a happy food coma. Ive only been once so far, but I plan on going back many many more times. Based on my first and only visit, this place is a true gem in Vancouver. Make sure you do yourself a favor and experience their awesome take on pizza.

This has been my girlfriend and Is Monday spot for a month straight. First time, we got this really great special pie with bechamel and mushroom, as well as the calabrian sausage pie. Next visit, we had the roasted veggies and the pepperoni pizza. The curried cauliflower with the chutney and the lebneh was off the charts. My girlfriend really dug the potatoes with leek and romesco. My girlfriend still talks about the pepperoni pie when were thinking of what to have for dinner. Third time, we got the crispy potatoes and the little Gina pizza. We also sat at the bar this time, and the potatoes went great with a brother ass ipa and fortside ipa. The hits dont stop! Just finished our 4th time here: started with the Caesar salad and the pork and duck. PORK AND DUCK IS A MUST NOW. Caesar had great flavor, our only comment was that the breadcrumbs could be a bit bitter at times. But better than croutons! Ordered the margherita and added mushrooms to it, so tasty! We decided to go for dessert this time and ordered the coffee in my clouds. The chocolate coffee pudding was fantastic, and the vanilla custard was so smooth. Overall, yeah this place is a 5.

I was so excited to see this place coming in so close to my house. My family most often makes the trip across the river for quality food. Given the background of the chef and his experience at Kens in PDX, we had high hopes. Our experience was disappointing. After an incredibly long wait before being seated, we ordered the roasted vegetables. Yes, they were tasty but meager and overpriced. The pizza was mediocre and unevenly cooked. The thing that makes Kens and Life of Pie (another family fave in PDX) so amazing is the wood fired oven, something that even MOD Pizza offers. That addition would have heightened the quality and justified the prices. Even the beer is overpriced. My advice... go two doors down to Bens Bottle Shop for a cheaper beer and a lot more choices. I guess well still be making the trip over the bridge for gourmet pizza.

Lifelong pizza fan here: have-the-pizza-oven-from-Florence, have read and recreated the Neapolitana DOC standard at home. Rally pizza is terrific! I ate there with my date, we had the San Daniele, crispy crust that droops perfectly at the very tip but otherwise stands up under its toppings well, the sesame seed crusts were a hit with me and my date and she normally leaves her crust but ate it all. The Pinot Grigio I had was a little less sweet than I expected but good, the Caesar salad was superior to any Ive had in town and whoever works the oven has great control of it! The music was too loud, and the place was too noisy, and we had to wait longer than wed like for a check but for a place still sorting itself out, I give it a hearty round of applause and wish it every success!

First time. Will never go back! I would not even give it one star but it makes you to be able to write a review! We saw this place on TV this morning so we thought we would try it. Once we got our pizza, there were very little toppings, we had the piggy back and there was 4 small slices of jalapeños 2 small pieces of bacon and four pieces of Canadian bacon, the pizza had no flavor and the crust was chewy! WAY TOO OVER PRICED! $18 for a pizza that is maybe a medium size is not worth it! Do not go there! Go to Blind Onion, it is way better!
