At Matador Pizza last night for Jade (Bumblebee Baskets) and Rich (Splash It Painting) Xmas get together. The absolute best pizza, ever!! I'd drive up there just for the pizza I enjoyed it that much. Also, the lady serving that crowd last night did a phenomenal job. Didn't miss a drink or a plate and so nice too. Thank you.
I like the pizza, a lot!! And I normally like thinner crust pizzas. But they are very generous with the cheese and the toppings at Matadors.
I prefer their pizza over their pasta, but I've always enjoyed my meals there.
They also have wonderfully friendly wait staff.
Ordered a pizza and short ribs tonight. ABSOLUTELY amazing. Pizza was perfect and all requests followed...short ribs....INCREDIBLE!!! best food I have had in SO long. HIGHLY recommend. Do not miss out on this gem.
This place has one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I love the style of pizzas and the quantity. If you're in around varsity area and craving a pizza forget about going to a chain.
Very good restaurant and good service. We ordered steak and meat spaghetti and bbq ribs, portion was reasonable for their price, salad was fresh, steak was cooked just right, and the ribs were huge. We would definitely return.
Thick heavy pizzas at its best. Loaded with cheese, loaded with a creamy red sauce and loaded with toppings, these are filling and satisfying pizzas.
Of the broad selection of pizzas, my favourite is the Meat Lovers packed with Italian red meats including Spolumbos sausage, thick salami and house-made ground beef. The amount of meat makes the pie really juicy. A close second is the Matador Special packed with a good balance of meats and veggies.
With the packed toppings, the crust can become a bit soft and wet if you leave them to sit, but right out of the oven, they're pretty amazing. Soft and doughy with a firm crust, if you like pizza bread, this will give you a good amount.
Matador has been around in Calgary's Varsity area for a few decades and has become a trusted neighbourhood spot for getting a good meal. There are other steak entrees and pastas to choose from, but I've only ever ordered the pizzas. They do it well and for a family restaurant they're a reliable spot.
Best take-out lasagne in the city! I haven't dined in but if you're feeling Garfield and live in the north this is pasta-crack. Love finding neighbourhood gems like Matadors.
Good standard restaurant of this type. Crazy busy for supper. Must be good.
My steak was very good.
Pizza looked fantastic
Salad was fresh
Matador is great. I can't think of a bad meal here. My personal recommendations are the ceaser salad, Hawaiian pizza and lasagna. Shame there is no delivery.
Matadors is FANTASTIC. Awesome food, very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and the food is consistent. Great spot to regular for great pizza, pasta and an exceptional Caesar Salad!!
Not rushed!! Nice atmosphere. We came here for our anniversary dinner. My partner got the ribs special. I got the Matador Special pizza. My Pizza was huge & loaded with ingredients. Perfect amount of tomato sauce. My partners ribs were delicious. It was not a busy night when we went. We were not rushed. No pushy attitudes at all. Wonderful place to go!!
Never let me down. I`ve never been let down by Matador Pizza & Steak House! I can always be confident to find friendly staff and food that`s consistently delicious! You can always count on it. I`ve introduced many new and happy customers to this restaurant over the years. Unlike Tony Roma`s at Crowfoot... bad service, bad food. Go read their reviews if you want to get depressed. But come back to Matador, it was refreshing to come to the page for Matador. Read all the positive feedback for this outstanding restaurant. They know how it is done. Keep up the great work! I`ll be over for lunch this week, bringing a friend for her birthday, it is our tradition.
