Have only ordered takeout from here so am not sure what it looks like inside. Took 50 minutes at 9pm on a Friday night, seems a bit long to me. Ordered the XL cheese pizza since there was a group of us. At $27 for one pizza with no toppings seems ridiculous. Was a decent tasting pizza but would not be paying that price again.
Been living in the neighbourhood for 5 years now, and Volos has been our staple pizza place from the moment we arrived. Every now and then we'll try something else that's close or newly opened, but always go back to Volos, disappointed from veering away for something different. It's family owned, family run, and they live in the area. They get to know you and are always friendly to deal with.

Exquisite pizzas - pricey though. After reading the numerous positive reviews for Volos, we decided to give it a whirl.
We don't live too far from Volos (10-17 min drive), laziness got the better of us and we opted for Volos' delivery option. Since we were outside of their 'free' range, we had to pay an extra $2 (nominal charge).
The person on the phone was pleasant, and happily took our order. We were informed that it would take between 45 - 60 min, and sure enough it was close to an hour before we got our pizzas.
We ordered 2 XL pizzas, a hawaiian and ham/pepperoni. Upon delivery, the pizzas were still piping hot, and the smell was intoxicating.
Both pizzas were superb, I really enjoyed how Volos cooked the pizzas so that the cheese developed a nice crunchy exterior, but still retaining some gooeyness/stringiness. The crust was impeccable, the bottom was crunchy and 'burnt' (I use the term burnt in a good way) - it was slightly dark golden brown, not burnt tasting but had a very nice solid crunch yet a nice warm bread like interior.
I felt the toppings were a little skimp, but the sauce more than made up for it.
About the only thing that we didn't like was the price, 2 XL pizzas, delivery, tip to driver came to over $50, so it was expensive for 2 pizzas. On the other hand, despite the cost the pizzas were really good and enjoyable.
This is one of the best pizzas in town. We use to live behind this place and enjoyed the fact that the best pizza place was in our backyard. We now live in Cochrane and will still once in awhile drive in just for this pizza.
Very Good. Volos is very good "greek" style pizza Its a family run business....jfmanzo reveiw is very accurate imho so i wont repeat...
Simply the best pizza in Calgary.I have been eating this pizza since the 1960s.My favorite is the Little John. I drive 12 kilometers to get this pizza to bring home. I highly recommend it to anyone.
Best in the area. Good pizza never soggy and always great. 8/10
You will not find a better pie in town least I have yet to find one.. Not to mention run by one of the nicest families you will ever meet.. Recommend Hawaiian with banana peppers go with the large...
Bankview's best pizza. I've lived a few blocks from Volos for more than 10 years but today was the first time I've had their pizza. Wish I hadn't waited so long- it's really good. I got a "large" (that's 12") ham and mushroom. Beautifully assembled pie with a crust that's at once thick focaccia (aka, in Calgary, "Greek") style but is also incredibly crispy. I've never had a crust quite like, just delectable. Toppings were plentiful but not over the top bar pizza, which is fine by me.
Volos isn't the world's best but it's damn competent pizza and a great little institution in Bankview. I'll definitely be back.
Confidential to "Frenchy": Stop making comparisons to Italy or NYC or where the hell ever else in every one of your reviews. It makes you look like a poseur douchebag.
Very good Greek style Pizza. Recommended if you like Greek Style pizza, it's always very good, but not my absolute favorite. They are a little pricey, toppings are a little light, and they're not open on Sundays.
Friendly, quick and good quality pizza. We prefer to order from these nice folks because they are neighbourhood people and a one off operation with good food. Friendly on the phone, no muss no fuss. I think family are delivering the pizza hot and tasty to the door with friendly delivery. Spinach aand Feta and the Hawaiian are very good , made with high quality cheeses and ingredients. You want cheap the size of your Ram truck hood? Maybe call one of the big chains where accountants choose the ingredients.
The Best Pizza!!!!. This was great neighbourhood find! Always good, great service, The Medium is perfect size for a really hungry person. Try the Little John or the Mexican they are both to die for, well done guys!
Excellent pizza, best independent pizza joint that I've tried in the city. The larger pizzas are a little pricey, but the 8" is good value. Delicious.
Amazing. Absolutely delicious. I usually have the Hawaiian pizza and sometimes just cheese. There isn't a thing about this pizza I don't like from the sauce, to the crust to the family that has owned and operated it since I was a young child.
If you haven't had it give it a try, it's well worth it!
Best Greek style pizza in the city. Try the "All Meat", you'll thank me.
Decent pizza.... It's really hard to find good pizza in Calgary... I've been here for almost 6 years now and still haven't found "the place" for pizza.
Volos is good, it's not terrific, but it is better than most other places around where we live.
After having authentic pizza in Italy (thin crust with the simplest of ingredients, always fresh and always organic), you become overly critical of some of the establishments around this city. In some ways, it's an unfair comparison, but I still think Calgary needs to have that kind of place.
We will definitely order from Volos in the future.
