Q: How does this place work?
A: You may choose a signature pizza from our menu, our monthly feature pizza or create your own.
If you are making a “Custom Pizza” (a Basic Cheese, One Top, Two Top or Three or more Top) you choose your crust, sauce, cheese and pre oven toppings. Your pizza goes into the oven and on the other side you can choose up to 3 post oven finishes as well as any drizzles or spices from the finishes bar. Any additional pre oven or post oven toppings are an additional charge.
We also have two signature salads to choose from that are made to order.

A: Our signature size pizzas are about 6” wide by 17” long, equivalent to a 10” or 11” traditional round pizza, they are cut into 6 slices. Our kids cut for those 10 and under are about half that size.
Our "Big Love” size pizzas are 14” round, a typical traditional large pizza size, cut into 8 slices.

Q: How do you ensure your gluten free is kept gluten free?
A: We keep our dough and pans that we use for gluten free pizza assembly in a separate area on the line that does not come into contact with gluten. We use an upside down tray to raise the pan off of the counter. We use separate spatulas to spread the sauce on the gluten free pizza and we use separate tongs and cutters to remove your pizza from the oven and cut it on your tray/box. Even with all of these steps, we are a pizza restaurant that has flour so we can not 100% guarantee no cross contamination for extreme gluten intolerances. Our disclaimer on our menu states this as well.
Q: I am allergic to nuts, is there a risk to me at your restaurant?
A: All ingredients on our pizza line are NUT FREE including our pesto sauce. We have walnuts in a covered insert on our salad table. The risk of cross contamination is very low.
Q: I am vegan, can I eat your pizza?
A: Definitely! We have traditional and organic whole wheat options, Daiya mozzarella and our vegan ingredients are marked with a (v) on the service line and menus. We have a wide range of delicious options!
Q: Is LOVEPIZZA a chain?
A: LOVEPIZZA is a four shop restaurant company which started as a corporately run, family business by husband and wife team, Gavin and Braede. We are proudly an Edmonton based company that is now starting to grow our brand with the right people through franchising. We sold our downtown restaurant to our first franchisees in May of 2019. In September 2020 our second group of franchisees opened the Rabbit Hill Crossing shop in SW Edmonton in their neighbourhood. In October 2020 our third franchise group opened the West Centre shop in Spruce Grove - a few minutes from home. All of our franchise partners are local families who love their communities, and pizza! And so, our LOVEPIZZA family grows!
Q: Is the story on the wall true?
A: Yes, Braede and Gavin had their first date at a local pizza shop in downtown Edmonton, fell in love, got married and shortly after having their son, opened the first location on 109th Street and Jasper.
