Red Ember Common

One of the best pizza spots in Winnipeg! Red Ember Common at The Forks never disappoints. Their wood-fired pizzas are absolutely delicious — perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and amazing flavour combinations. The service is fast and friendly, and the quality is consistent every time. We tried the ‘Bacon & Mushroom’ and the ‘Margherita’ — both were fantastic! A must-try if you’re visiting The Forks Market.

I had the pizza here recently and was blown away by how good it was. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the toppings were super fresh. You can really tell they care about quality.

Today I bought a pizza for my son, and saying that I’m shocked is an understatement. There was almost no cheese, just tomato sauce, and it tasted like something from a supermarket. I’m speechless. I was extremely disappointed — $22 for this? This pizza is worth at most $10. I’m very upset, it’s the worst pizza I’ve ever ordered. Don’t waste your time and money on this place.

Was really good pizza. Simple and dcious. Maybe a little pricey for the size but it was good and is worth a try

Their pizza never lets me down! must give it a try if you haven’t. This is exactly how pizza should taste they kept everything simple and tasty. Must give it a try if you haven’t.

Their margarita pizza is seriously delicious and the strawberry lemonade is addicting! The pizza sauce was very rich and flavourful. The cheese melted in my mouth and the tomato’s were a delightful burst of flavour. The crust is very soft and on the thin side which I prefer but if you prefer pizza with a thicker crust this probably isn’t the right pizza place for you.

Delicious. Each pizza I’ve tried has been delicious. Lots of flavour, fresh pizza dough (great chew), and quick service. Always a pitstop for me when I go to the Forks.

The pizza is no different from any other. It is tasty, the dough is well-baked and crispy, and there are a lot of toppings. If you're in the forks and you're craving pizza, this is the only place you can go and you won't be disappointed. One of the few dishes that you can take away in a box and eat outside, e.g. on sunbeds. In my opinion prices are little bit too high..

I thought the person I was with ordered The Crete-Za which has dill walnut pesto and goat cheese and pickled onions. The onions were not bad but I really love goat cheese and it just wasn't very flavourful or very strong tasting in this pizza. Goat cheese is usually very strong tasting. A very strong cheese. The pizza overall was okay in a mild cheese pizza kind of way but I prefer cheese to taste like high quality cheese. Maybe another option would have had more authentic flavours. Service was normal but a bit terse/tense.

Red Ember makes some very good pizza tops, but they sure don't make good bottoms. The flavors above the dough are excellent. I loved the meats, sauce, and oils I had. However, the dough was extremely flimsy, soft, and literally soggy when served. It clearly needed to be cooked longer or somehow firmes up. This is otherwise a five star review, but I can rate this higher while the bottom needs work. For $20 that should be the last thing needing correcting.

The pizza here was a true surprise. The dough is a bit thicker than traditionally made pizza but it turned out to be what makes their pies so good. They put in the effort to proof dough; no shortcuts and no hurry. A shiny electric oven that reaches over 800 degrees is what brings out the flavors and makes the fresh ingredients so good. Honestly, I can say that this is some of the best pizza I've had in Canada.

The pizza is pretty good, but the staff are not super friendly. I left a big tip and didn't even get a thank you for a takeout order.

This place is the best. The "Hot and Honey" and the "Twist and Sprout" are delicious, unique pizzas that you can't get anywhere else. In the summer, they do a tomato salad with mascarpone and mint that I wait all year for, and we always get an order of their olives with honey and lemon. The staff are always very sweet, and the food is done in under ten minutes, which is a relief when you're sitting there salivating over the thought of dinner!

+.5 for service The opening of Red Ember Common in The Forks Market was met with huge fanfare, as Red Ember is a popular pizza food truck in Winnipeg. I've also been looking forward to this place ever since I tried their pizza at ManyFest and really enjoyed it. Their menu isn't too extensive, but all your Red Ember staples are available here. I had the GOB pizza, which I had when I went to ManyFest. There's still some teething issues when it came to the cashier, which resulted me in not paying taxes for my pizza. Huh... The pizza actually came pretty quick, considering the popularity of this place. While the size of the pizza looks quite big, it's actually quite puffy, therefore it's not really that big at all. Although the pizza was delicious, it was unfortunately burnt in a few spots. The price was reasonable, if not a little bit higher than expected. Regardless, Red Ember Common is a fantastic addition to the bustling Forks Market. It's not a place I'll go religiously, but it's another option in the list of places I'll go to when I'm here.

Third time going here for a pizza and it's always great food! Our favorite is the GOB

You have to work really hard to ruin a simple pizza. I ordered a pesto pizza; the pesto was mostly low quality oil with green food coloring little parsley and defiantly no pine nuts or walnuts. There was so much pickled onion that it became the base flavor. I asked the server to bring some red pepper flakes - never happened, I can't blame busy I was only one of two people sitting at the counter. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay, it had turned and was closer to a sparkling wine. Did I say anything no, why bother these were nice kids just turning a buck - they'll get paid wether you eat there or not. The food court has lots of options, try something else.

pretty great pizza all around. I had one gross piece but that's bound to happen with pizza, not all pieces will be good. Anyway fast service and i got my pizza within 8 minutes of ordering. vegetarian friendly and it isn't disgusting.
