Opening: Nicli Antica Pizzeria

[Photo courtesy Scout Magazine]
When I visited Vancouver, B.C. last year, I went to the food boards and asked locals where to find the best pizza. Most of the posts directed me to Marcello, which was a crushing disappointment. But then I heard about a place that was going to open soon that was going to be Vancouver's first authentic Neapolitan pizzeria. That place was Nicli Antica Pizzeria in Gastown.

Well, I just received an email from owner Bill McCraig that Nicli opened today, Tuesday, February 7, 2011. They'll be open from 5pm to close, no reservations (even though there's a reservation form on their website, oddly enough). An early review from Scout Magazine is very positive, so now I can't wait to get back up there to try it!

    Had dinner there tonight. Lively room, modern room with a nod to Italian tradition. Excellent traditional southern Italian pizza executed just as I've had it in Naples. Tiramisu refreshingly light on the custard and heavy on the booze! Worth a visit and be ready for a line-up if you don't show early. There was a queue in the rain by 730 this evening!

    @Anonymous: Nice! Thanks for the report.

    If anyone wants to send me photos they've taken of the pizza here, I'll post them above.
