Pizza 73 a franchise“joint venture” style take-out/delivery pizza chain that has been a favourite of ours in Calgary for many years.

The pizza is at best mediocre, it’s edible, but certainly not fantastic and you can do much better for the price, although if you get lots of their cheese dip, it helps. So why is it a favourite?

One word: Wings.

I haven’t found any other pizza delivery place in Calgary that has even half way decent wings, and especially not breaded crispy wings that stay crispy by the time they show up. The hot wings are somewhere between good and great depending on the day, although nothing a bit of extra hot sauce won’t fix right up.

Best of all, online ordering at pizza73.ca.

Apparently Pizza 73 was bought out by “Pizza Pizza” in 2007. Who knew?
