YYC PIZZA Fest
Nick’s has been a proud participant since 2019, and over the years our creations have earned awards like Best Thick Crust, Most Popular Pizza, and The Baker Award. This festival is all about pizza, community, and charity, with proceeds supporting Calgary Meals on Wheels.
Nick’s has a proud history at YYC Pizza Week and YYC Pizza Fest. In 2019, our Diavolo Pizza won Best Thick-Crust along with the Baker Award, which at the time honoured community spirit. Our Morning Glory Pizza won Best Thick-Crust in 2020, and in 2021 our Kardiakafti Pizza repeated the double, taking Best Thick-Crust and the Baker Award. In 2022, we won YYC Pizza Fest’s Most Popular Award, and in 2026 our Nick’s Perogi Pizza brought home the Baker Award, now given for the festival’s best crust.
Winner of the 2026 Baker Award for Best Crust!
Our winning entry was the Nick’s Perogi Pizza: a cream sauce base loaded with seasoned diced potatoes, bacon, onion, mozzarella and cheddar, finished with sour cream, green onions and cracked black pepper. A perogi lover’s dream, on a crust Calgary couldn’t get enough of.
Available Oct 2–18, 2026 only. Thanks to everyone who came out to try it!
Stay tuned for YYC Pizza Fest 2027 to see what we cook up next!
OUR AWARD WINNING PIZZAS
The Grill Master
We’re bringing our AAA game! Nick’s charbroiled AAA Alberta top sirloin with fresh mozzarella cheese, roasted green & red peppers. Perfectly seasoned with our famous special blend of herbs and spices.
The Kardiakafti
Experience a taste of Nick’s history with the Kardiakafti Pizza. Named after the village Nick grew up in, this Greek-inspired Gyro pizza will give you the chance to taste the authentic flavours of Greece.
Morning Glory
For the second year in a row, Nick’s is the winner of the thick crust category! Breakfast has always been the most important meal of the day, and Nick’s Steakhouse has made it glorious.
We searched far and wide for Alberta’s spiciest ingredients, and combined them with our world-famous homemade crust to create a winning devil of a pizza.
While we’re proud of our creations and the awards they received, we’re even more proud to have participated in raising awareness and funding for Calgary Meals on Wheels. While Pizza Week is fantastic, this incredibly caring and compassionate organization can use your help year-round.
