When ordering pizza, whether dining-in at your favourite restaurant or getting a delivery, the hardest thing may be figuring out what size to get. You want to make sure you’ll have enough to adequately satisfy everyone, but you aren’t trying to feed all of Calgary! Nevertheless, at Tom’s House of Pizza, we think the best decision is to order a little extra! Why? Two words: leftover pizza.

There's a big difference between pizza made in conventional factory-like ovens and pizzas baked in Tom’s House of Pizza’s brick hearth ovens. We have taken the classic thin-crust pizzas born in wood-fired ovens of Italy, and adapted it to provide you with a unique North American thin-crust pizza baked to perfection in our own gas-fired brick hearth ovens. This allows you to get the best, thin crust, brick oven pizza in Calgary from Tom's House of Pizza any day. 

Craft beer has grown in considerable popularity over the recent years and is quickly becoming, for many people, one of life's little pleasures. Meant to be savoured and not simply chugged, craft beer is enjoyed at numerous establishments around Calgary, including at Calgary pizza restaurants such as Tom's House of Pizza.

The most commonly accepted definition of craft beer is that it comes from a brewer that is small, independent, and that uses traditional brewing methods. Craft beer is valued by millions of beer drinkers around the world both for its taste and even for its health benefits.

Every day pizza restaurants across Calgary are home to the lively debate of whether thick or thin crust pizza is the best. Taste is, of course, subjective so everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But we at Tom’s House of Pizza believe that thin crust comes out on top!

The fantastic thing about ordering from your favourite pizzeria is that pizza is not only delicious but it can also be quite nutritious. One of the most nutritious aspects of a pizza is the tomato sauce. Packed with vitamins A and C, along with some vitamin B, tomato sauce is also a rich source of the carotene lycopene, which plays an important role in metabolic health. High quality toppings are also vital as they can be great sources of fibre and other nutrients; what’s more, even your cheese provides a great source of calcium.

Many people these days are omitting gluten from their diets. But what is gluten and why are people cutting it out of the foods they eat?

Simply put, gluten is the common name for a combination of two particular proteins (gliadin and glutenin) found in wheat and a handful of other grains, including barley and rye. Besides serving a vital function in the propagation of baby wheat plants, gluten also has the wonderful quality of giving dough its stretchiness. So who’s avoiding it and why? There are a few possible types of people who benefit from going gluten-free.
