The toppings are quite good and plentiful but the crust is bland. It's actually pretty disappointing. The pie is also pretty small for the price. The space is really cool and hip, the neighborhood is great but I would never seek this pizza out unless I was in Inglewood. Una is much better. The service was also pretty bad. Crazy slow for 3 tables in the whole place and our waitress forgot about us and even admitted it when she finally came to our table. Save the trouble and go to Una.

The pizza and meatballs were absolutely delicious here! They were served by a knowledgeable, friendly server who was efficient with taking orders and getting the food out.
He knew how to advise and recommend good options from the menu that would match up with the tastes of people who had never been there before.
The prices were good.
When deciding to come here be sharp as the restaurant is located on the 2nd Floor and the entrance is a little non descript.
The atmosphere is excellent when you arrive and adds to the overall fun experience.
PRO TIP- If you have kids and want them to be entertained, just sit on the stools at the front bar where they make the pizza. Your kids will be mesmerized. The staff are so great with children. They will interact and even do a trick or two for then while throwing the pizzas!
Remember, it is ok to put the pizza into a pizza box to take it home so you can have enough room for dessert! The Tiramisu is incredible! Made fresh daily!
You gotta eat here!

Dropped into Without Papers today and was very Happy I did! Had a Pizza The Hut with fresh arugula sprinkled after cooked for freshness... Tasted devine! The staff was awesome... The atmosphere was welcoming and clean! I recommend you go... The pizzas ars thin crust and can be rolled like burritos... So good! Plus a great collection of wines. A great place.

Came here on a weeknight and this place is bustling. We grabbed a seat by the kitchen bar, and it was super cool because you get to see the pizza making process up close. The pizza chef was also engaging which made our experience super fun! The service was also really good.
The pizzas tasted great although we all agreed that the shroom pizza was lacking a bit of flavour and was very plain. The cheese on the meat pizza was amazing! Our favourite was definitely the housemade arancini. One star off because the harsh music was just too loud to be enjoyable.

Ordered on skip the dishes. Had “the Pandemic”, Arancini & Cannoli.
Everything arrived warm, well prepared. I found the arancini a little flavourless, but great texture. The pizza was the Pandemic which has mortadella, jalapeño, honey, pistachio, garlic and cheese. That sounds super tasty and should have strong flavours - they were a bit weak but again well prepared. Perhaps being a bit hard, I found it tasty overall and would still go back - maybe it’s better to just have in store rather than delivery ?

The pizza is great. Flavorful and well balanced, though today's crust was a bit soft. The heat/spice level was just right - the server said "if you like sriracha, you'll like this." She was right. She was friendly and took the time to answer our questions despite being busy.
The only drawback for me was the noise level. I had come with two girlfriends for dinner and a chat. The music was so loud we were literally yelling at each other. So we only ordered one pie and left. Personally, I hate loud music in a restaurant - it can be energetic without being deafening.

We ordered Margherita and Tree Hugger. Liked the later one better. Open kitchen concept. Was super busy (and loud!!) on Friday night, got a take-out which did seem to be a mistake as both items got quite cold by the time we reached home. Prices are slightly on expensive side.

Without Papers is a great pizza joint in the heart of Calgary. Their pizza is savoury and flavourful, and their drink menu emphasizes local options. While the service wasn't the greatest, I quite enjoyed my margherita pizza with a pint of local craft beer.
