This is a pizza joint located in UBC, near the Ponderos Commons. Their menu consists of wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas as well as pastas and desserts. I had their Tortellini and an Al Pesto Pizza. The food wasn't fantastic but still good; the prices were quite reasonable. While this is not the best pizza joint that I've been to, but definitely a good choice if you're on campus.
Tortellini ($7.75):
3/5
This was in a cream sauce and is topped with parmesan. The pasta itself was a tad overcooked for me and didn't appear to have much filling, and was a bit bland on its own. I did quite enjoy the sauce, which was creamy albeit a tad bit underseasoned.
Al Pesto Pizza ($12.50):
3.5/5
This was topped with pesto, prosciutto, cheese, artichokes, and tomatoes. The crust wasn't very crispy, although it was thin and flavourful. There was a good amount of topping. The pesto was very flavourful, albeit a bit on the salty side; I really enjoyed the tomatoes, which provided a great tanginess. Unfortunately, I wasn't a big fan of the artichokes.
Summary:
Food: 3.5/5
Price: 4/5
Service: N/A
Overall: 3.5/5
Recommendations: Al Pesto Pizza
Great place to visit on the UBC campus. The prices are really reasonable and the service is quick fast considering the number of people visiting here for lunch. I ordered the pizza Bianca, which was this cheesy and slightly creamy pizza. I'm not a fan of pizza, but I was reasonably pleased. The pizza came in a nice and super convenient takeaway box, so you can grab it on the go too.
There's plenty of space to sit inside, and if not, you can sit outside. People can study here too!
My second time going to Mercante. The first time was maybe two years ago and the food was good but the food safety was bad… was hoping for a better experience this time!. Al pesto pizza ($11) – Pesto, proscuitto cotto, mozzarella, gorgonzola, artichokes, pickled tomatoes. I had the Al pesto pizza. For pizza that’s cooked in a wood-fired oven, it’s really cheap.
