After reading all of the reviews of Pulcinella online, I finally decided to try it out and boy was I pleasantly surprised! These reviews are completely blown out of proportion,

First off: these are artisan pizzas, which mean every single pizza is going to be different every single time. The crust is thin and chewy and the amount of ingredients as well as the shape of the pizza differs with the piazzioli (certified pizza maker) that is making it.

Secondly: the pizza is cooked in a wood burning oven, which is an age old traditional baking method that chars the bottom of the pizza actually enhancing the overall flavor. Incidentally, this baking method is explained in detail on the front cover of the Pulcinella menu.

Third of all: curious about the whole canned mushroom issue I proceeded to ask my server. I was interested to find out that 1. Because if the extreme heat of the oven (1000 degrees) the mushrooms must be moist otherwise they will just burn off and disintegrate.
2. All of there canned products are specially selected and imported from Italy.

And lastly, this is a truly unique experience so I recommend that if you are going to try this pizza, go into it with an open mind not expecting the typical North American pizza. I actually commend Pulcinella for bringing in something that has never been done before and changing the food landscape of Calgary…Bravo!!!
