Delicious Panzerotto, one of the best pizza in town. Many friends recommended to try Dijo`s..Panzerottos are so amazing that I am addicted to it now almost every couple days. Try pizza one day, delicious; very good sauce; tons of toppings; enough cheese. Maybe a Italian pizzaeria is not run by Italian that makes people picky on it. They have pretty nice & friendly service too !
Panzerottos amazing! consistently delicious for 20+ years. I drive 50min to town for one off these. super basic. simply irresistible! pls never change!!!

Not cookie-cutter pizza. Dijo's Pizza is not the best in the world, but I'll give this joint credit for having its own style of pizza. They go for the New York thin-crust variety. The bottom crust is maybe 0.5 cm thick, not quite soft enough to fold over on itself the way you can with classic Little Italy pies. It was good when it was right out of the oven the evening I stopped there on my way home from a 50 km+ bike ride out to Port Moody. The crust on my second slice started seeming a bit hard and doughy as it cooled, but I was hungry, so I didn't care. There was a Noo Yawk amount of cheese on top, meaning not too thick, but not as stingy with the mozzarella as Australian pizza slice places were. Adequate amount of round pepperoni slices on top. Pizzerias in New York do it better, but I prefer Dijo's to the many places in Vancouver that buy pre-made crusts from Sysco and just put their own toppings on.
I also got a pesto panzerotto to take home. It's kinda like a calzone, only not as thick of a crust. The Italian version of a Cornish pastie, Argentine empanada, Aussie meat pie, etc. Every culture has its own kind of "fillings crimped into a crust." It was OK -- zingy flavour on the tomato sauce. I couldn't get the crust to crisp up even when I reheated it in my toaster oven, but it wasn't super-soggy, either. My only grip was the price, which was over $5, and that's too much for something which is only medium-sized.
