This is a great little restaurant and one of the best pizza places in the city. We’ve been coming every Thursday for last few months and have always enjoyed it. In addition to the great pizza, the service is also excellent; especially Ealat, she is the best. If you are looking for a hidden gem in Bowness, this is “The Place” to go.
The place is very cozy. I ordered the veal cutler and steak cutlet. It came with garlic bread,salad and fries as sides. The server was very friendly and overall it was a great experience. Will definitely recommend this place
I have ordered here a few times I have never been disappointed they make very crispy wings with the sauce on the side and their lasagna is to die for definitely a plus plus for me
Great local spot for a family meal! Classic pizza, steak and baked pasta like the old school steak houses, you can't really go wrong if you stick to these items. Atmosphere is welcome and the staff are great. No complaints, it's going to become a regular stop for us.
**UPDATE ** been in Bowness for a few years now, and The Place is STILL a regular stop for us. The staff are super friendly and hard working, may not always be the quickest but they are earnest and try very hard. Food is delicious, always. Supporting local business is easy with places like this around.
My wife and I love this quaint little restaurant and come fairly regularly for the delicious pizza. The service is always great and it's a very welcoming atmosphere. Would recommend!
Delicious and excellent service!. We were a party of 4 and I had the chuckwagon steak which was excellent. The Ceasar salad was also great tasting. Friendly and attentive service as usual ! For Calgary, the prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is homey and comfortable. We will return !
Best Veggie Pizza Ever!!!. Ok, it's not fancy, but I LOVE the "Slim Jim" vegetarian pizza!! So good!! They've got great steaks and pasta as well....super awesome staff at a cool old school restaurant....check it out!
Awesome!!. My parents are visiting from Ontario and we thought we'd try The Place. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the food is great!! I'll definitely go back.

Delish Food. The atmosphere and food at this neighborhood establishment is good. I have had the pleasures of a few visits and that in itself is a treat. My take out pizza was fresh and cheesy and the take out service deserved a good tip. My in house stay was pleasant and
I enjoyed pasta with seafood tortellini. The seafood and customer dervocet was abundant. I strongly urge yoy if in the city make a special trip to The Place in Bowness it is great food and the decor is of a treat back in time! SERVICE IS WONDERFUL Thanks to Ray!
The Place gives Matador a run for it's money!!!. Woo Hoo! Finally, after looking for what seems forever, I've found a place that gives Matador in Varsity a run for it's money! Incredible pizza, low prices, and...they DELIVER!!! Not only to your door, but in service and quality as well. I encourage anyone who's eaten at Matador to check this place out. I like it sooooooo much better!
Have eaten here many times - all of it has been great. A nice pizza with lots of choices, steak and pasta all done properly and the onion soup is flavourful and not overly-salty like it is at so many other places. Good-sized portions and the sides aren't neglected either. Wish they had a better beer selection, given the incredible array of Calgary breweries. But good food and good staff make The Place a nice, friendly place to come to.
Cute little hole in the wall place. Very clean. Service was great. Server took care of us, but was not overbearing. Food was fantastic. I had a steak, it was cooked right, and tasted good. We also had a pizza, and it was good as well. If back in Calgary, would definately go again.
Great service and good food. Steak we had was slightly tougher than we'd like but cooked right, good flavour and portion sizes are enormous. Great value, large menu and outstanding service. They gave the kids freezies free of charge after the meal. Was our first time there and will be back. Thank you for some much needed family time.
Great local restaurant!. Went here for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised. My girlfriend and i each had an individual sized pizza and shared the potato skins for an appetizer. the individual booths with lots of privacy is a nice touch and the service was prompt and kind. Definitely some of the best pizza i have had in a while with fresh ingredients and a nice tomato sauce .my daughter really enjoyed the baked fettuccine. i will be back to try a steak and highly recommend the pizza!
Very friendly staff!! Very welcoming, and they greeted all their locals by name as they came in and left which was nice to see. Excellent service, and my steak was cooked very nicely! Reasonable prices too. It seems like a real neighborhood staple!
We’d driven for 11hrs from BC, checked into our hotel and needed a late dinner. Pre-Covid hours online said open till 11 but when we got there they were closing in 20min at 10. But they didn’t turn us away - super friendly, we ordered dinner to go & sat comfortably while we waited. Salad & pizza were just what we needed. We appreciated the great customer service, friendliness & yummy food. 🙂
The stumbled on The Place looking for a place to dine in as many places do not offer dine in service during this Covid 19 event. We sure are glad we went. Don't let the 70's steakhouse decor deter you. For us it enhanced the experience! The staff are truly excellent. Friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and served piping hot. So nice on a wet Sunday evening. We would not hesitate to go back. Places like this are becoming more rare, so please check this place out and understand why this place still exists in an age of craft beers and single origin coffee.
