Had to see what the fuss was about. Since Edmonton is rated in the Conde Nast top 10 pizza cities in the world - Rose Bowl also was mentioned. At first glance I thought the pies were way to pricey, the Hawaiian pizza did not disappoint. Very good bang for your buck. Thick, old school deep dish with very tangy sauce. Perfect blend of tasty ham and pineapple. Definitely recommend. Delivery took over an hour but I think you can't rush a good thing. Will have to dine in next time!
Pretty good! Pizza was fresh and delicious. We sat on the patio and it was nice. Service was lacking a bit near the end of our stay but overall it was really good. I would recommend it and I will return.
One of the best pizza places in Edmonton! The waitresses are always friendly. The only thing is it's always quiet in there and we're usually the only customers, which makes it kind of weird.
Surprise! The pizza here is actually very very tasty. Everytime I have visited it has not been so busy so it has been a nice place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a delicious pizza.
First time here. I ordered the lemon zest and crack pepper five-star chicken wings and they tasted great! I must say, esp the size of the wings is better than lots of other restaurant. Order the rose bowl special and chicken pesto pizza. The cheese was yummy. There were only a few people there at Friday night and a good place to chat with friends.
Great hospitality. Love the pizza.
Chef's mistake is the best!!!
Usually not that busy. Perfect if you have a group since they have a more private section.
Great pizza!!. Just went there yesterday. Pizza was fantastic. Will definitely come back again for more.
Was recommended the "Chef's Mistake" with extra sauce and no olives. Everyone needs to try this.
Service is slow so be prepared to spend a good two hours here but man is it ever worth the wait! That sauce n crust can never be replaced honestly the best pizza ever! Always order the chefs mistake and the wonton shrimp. Please don't ever go out of business!!
BEST PIZZA. Why haven't I been here before? Seriously? I've seen it. I've heard of it. I've walked by it, but never entered until last night. I went because a friend told me about poetry night, and I was curious about it. I heard about Rosebowl pizza being really good from someone who lived in the area and ordered it frequently. I was craving calamari but wanted to try their special pizza, so I was able to compromise and get a Satorini thin crust pizza. The toppings are fresh tomatoes, calamari, and shrimp with tzatziki and Spanish onions. It exceeded my expectations. Generous toppings, and a generous portion so I was able to pack it up for lunch today. They had a good selection for draft beer, and the service was friendly. I will definitely be bringing my friends back here for a chill night out. Oh and also I heard that the owners are opening up a 25 + crowd bar called BLVD. It is where PublicHouse was on jasper ave.
Yummmyyyyy!. Best pizza in edmonton! had the Rosebowl classic pizza and it was amazing!! Great food and even fantastic service
Best in the city. Been here twice and both times the pizza exceeded my expectations. Perfect crust and a generous amount of toppings. Highly recommended.
So many toppings! Expensive, but very filling and tasty

Pizza of my dreams!!!. Was on a diet the last 6 weeks and was craving a pizza so bad i would dream about it. This pizza from rosebowl was the pizza from my dreams lol. Best pizza ever!!!! Never ordering anywhere else again!!! Rosebowl made my finding the best pizza in Edmonton conquest complete now I will be telling everyone i know to go here!!!! :-)
This place is on my 'must eat here' list whenever I visit Edmonton. The traditional pizzas have certainly stood the test of time and never disappoint with a nice crunchy, greasy crust and just the right amount if toppings. Their thin crust versions are pretty good too though I wish they would stop playing around with the menu trying a little too hard to class things up. A couple of years ago they had a Korean (I think) themed pizza that was to die for but seems to have vanished, sadly. Still, the pepperoni one we got was certainly worth eating. The beer available on tap is a bit disappointing but their patio is pleasant and the service gets no complaints from me. I'll keep coming back as long as they don't mess with their core pizza line up.
This place is simply put a chill place to go. There's music but not to loud that you can't talk. And daily specials as well as events. Derrick Anderson is awesome on Monday nights as well as the many people that come. Loved the skips. Can't wait till they come back. Tuesdays is poetry night, my favourite. And the special on their "best you'll ever have" thin crust pizza. Vegetarians. You must try the orient pizza. Simply amazing. Get extra arugula on it! Sooo good. If you like comedy and cheap wings come on Wednesday for FREE comedy night and half price wings. Like really can you get any better? And there's stuff the other nights but sadly I don't live upstairs or I would come every night. ;)
Go check it out
You'll be sorry if you don't!
I come to the Rosebowl pretty often, started about 3 months ago and now I am hooked. I read other posts about if being dirty but I haven't seen this yet. As far as I am aware the management has changed and it definitely shows. Amazing pizza, bruschetta, and calamari!! I recommend going on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday for one of their specialty nights.
Great Pizza. Really fantastic pizza. Get the standard crust - the thin crust is good but different. Unless you're up for something different. Anyway, I got the regular meat lovers pizza (not called that) and the thin crust seafood pizza. I LOVED them both. Price is high. And it takes basically 30 minutes to make. But I think it's well worth the wait.
I ordered the 16 incher. Every bite tasted fantastic. I heard so many great things about this place over the years. The crust has a great texture and is succulent. These guys are not cheap on the cheese either. Overall great experience.
Just like everyone else says, best pizza in town! Recommended this place to everyone I know!
Best Pizza for sure. We went to try it as we heard it was Great and must say i was impressed.
The service was pretty good once we found a place to sit. I am still not sure if you are to seat yourself or if they seat you as there was no offer to do so. We sort of had to walk in and out a few times until noticed.
The pizza was really , really , really good.
i was surprised to hear this place has been here forever as it appeared to be a trendy newly renovated place.
So for service i give it 7/10 for Food 10/10 and for overall value 8/10.
i will be back soon
Best pizza In the city hands down! It was our first time eating there and we will be back. Great job on helping us choose our pizzas. Thank you
My wife and I and a couple of friends walked by and decided to stop for a drink. We saw some food comming out to the tables and couldn't resist to try it. We though we were walking into a small neighborhood pub / pizza joint but we defenetly were wrong. Our waitress was serving us like if she actually cared!!! My wife who is the worst critic regarding service was hands down impress by the overall experience. We can not remember the last time we went to eat out and were 100 percent happy with everything. The pizza was nothing like a regular pizza. It took a while to come out but once it did we understood why! Will defenetly be back and I wish there would be one on the south side.
Chef's Mistake. 32+ year old recipe. The best. Onions, pepperoni, mozzarella, ham, green pepper, mushrooms, black olives, pineapple and bacon.
A Keeper!. The wings were the best we've had in a long time, obviously more expensive than on a wing night, but well worth it. The pizza was excellent as well! lots of topping and yummy stringy cheese. So glad it's been reno'd, very nice atmosphere! we'll defiantly be going back!
Love the Pizza. I live in southern B.C. and I actually want to keep going back to Edmonton (haha), just so I can eat @ Rosebowl. The only thing that really annoys me is the fact that I have never had a pizza delivered in under 2 hours. Not kiddding. I usually stay on 103st, just off Jasper. How come it takes soooo long to get a pizza?
Will never order chain pizza again!!. I was tired of ordering the big chain pizza's as they didn't have any ... heart. Toppings are getting less and less so I decided to try something new and researched Pizza restaurants in Edmonton. Rosebowl was listed in almost every search ranking I found so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did!! Lots of flavor in the crust, sauce, and plenty of toppings. Cooked to crunchy perfection. No delivery that I know of, but well worth the trip. I recommend to anyone to try it and see why they are rated highly amongst consumers.
Been coming to rose bowl since I was a kid! Still the best pizza in city!
Mrs. Pailer. My family absolutley loves their pizza!! We drive from the west end just to have it!
They have the best pizza sauce in the city not like the bland ketchup style sauces other restaurants have.
Meat lovers and Rose Bowl Special are the two best pizza's.
Great Pizza and Wings. I was impressed. The pizza is great, slow cooked and crunchy crust with lots of topping so it is very filling. The service was also great (thanks Kelly) though the place is looking a little run down. I would also recommend their wings, especially the salt and rouge. Be warned that the pizza takes a little while to come out, about 1/2 and hour, as it is slow cooked.

Rose Bowl has a new look, but same great pizza!. It's been a couple years since I was here, and the last time I was here it was honestly a dive, but still had awesome pizza. We went there recently for a birthday dinner and when I read the sign on the door that mentioned some sort of dress code... I thought "ha ha.... funny" and then I walked in and they sure spruced the place up. Everything is new and very chic. But fear not... the pizza is very delicious. It's been over a month since I was there, so I can't recall the menu, but I know they have new pizza choices that are more "exotic" when it comes to pizza, and their non-pizza menu had a lot of choices I thought I'd like to back another time to try. And as everyone else says... you do pay for the quality. But it's well worth it.
Will I go back? Absolutely!
Great pizza. If you enjoy thick crunchy crust pizza with lots of topping, this is a great place to visit. I went there for my friend's b-day and we ordered a Chef's Mistake pizza. The pizza took 45 minutes to arrived. The long wait is because Rose Bowl's pizza are think crust with heavy toppings It needs to spend more time in the oven. When the pizza arrived. It tasted delicous.
Recently, my bf ordered the Mediterranean/ Chef's Mistake pizza for take out. I thought the pizza would turn soggy by the time he gets home. It turned out the crush remain cripsy, and tasted as good as dinning in.
I totally recommend this place to everyone.
Great Pizza. I've been a Rose Bowl faithful for several years now. A couple things first off: unless you live nearby, don't get delivery, and if you do live nearby, pick it up anyways you bum :)
To be honest, this pizza is great. The crust is thick but not overly so. They take care when making your pizza and don't cook it in a hurry (expect the pizza to take 30-35 minutes even when they aren't busy). They simply choose to cook the pizza longer at a lower temperature, and the results are amazing.
The secret of course is all in the sauce. But don't be discouraged, all the toppings are fresh too.
Expect to pay a fair amount for the pizza though, it isn't your typical 2 for 1 Pizza73 grub. I always order the vegetarian and I can't say that I've found a better pizza in Edmonton (though from what I hear, Pizza Boys is amazing as well).
Bon Appétit!
Rose Bowl has been a favorite of mine and almost everyone I've known that has had their pizza. The establishment has been renovated over the past couple of years, however the attention to their gourmet (thick crust) pizza still remains intact and second to none in the city. I recommend ordering your pizza with their spicy sauce. If you like thick crust pizza loaded with high quality toppings this place is worth the visit.
Rose Bowl. A long standing tradition in Edmonton. The secret is in the sauce...its flavorful, fresh and has such a nice zing.
I have only ever had their take out pizza at lunchtime. it is pretty good pizza with lots of toppings.
of course with this kind of pizza and lots of toppings, it will end up a little heavy and somewhat greasy with all the meat.
they seem very busy though, you need a relatively long lead time if you want pizza during the busy times. but if its busy, that must mean its good, right?
i have had their takeout a couple of times and would get it again.
