Mmmm pizza! Who doesn’t love a good pie (as they say)?
How about when you make it yourself, YOURÂ way?
We have a weekly family tradition at our house where we make our very own pizzas, I buy flatbread or other pre-made stonebaked pizza shells and of course tons of fresh veggies. We throw on some music, gather in the kitchen and create pizza magic in our own unique ways!
Za Pizza Bistro let’s you do that too, except their awesome staff take care of the creation, and you just tell them what you’d like!

This fabulous franchise opened their first location in Winnipeg in May 2015 on St Mary’s Rd, since then they have opened up at City Place and most recently on Ellice (March 16, 2017).
The Za Pizza Bistro tagline is Custom. Fast. Fired; and they are true to their words! The whole experience is all with the customer in mind.
CUSTOM
- Crust (original, whole wheat or gluten-free – made fresh in house)
- Sauces (7 different kinds)
- Cheeses (7 different types, including vegan)
- Veggies (over 25 options!)
Big difference between ordering a pizza over the phone, you get to see each and every option right in front of you, while it’s being crafted.
FAST and FIRED
Awesome right?
I was at the media preview for the newest location on Ellice and let me tell ya, it’s gorgeous!
Hanging out at Za Pizza Bistro’s newest location on Ellice with a few of my media peeps!
It has a very open concept, with a trendy design. There are tv’s showing music videos or maybe even the latest Jets game.
They even feature a Coco-Cola freestyle machine offering customers a choice of over 130 flavours!!! I don’t ever want to hear my kids say “there’s nothing to drink” when we come here, haha!
Getting back to the customer experience, they truly have it all with fresh great tasting pizza at the best price. I am still savouring my creation – Chicken Spinach Veggies on Whole Wheat Crust with Spicy Red Sauce:
Don’t worry there’s more than just the ‘za! There are salads, wine and beer, and other tantalizing options like their dessert pizzas, which I honestly cannot describe without drooling!
Although the St Mary’s Rd location is close to home, it’s truly a fast casual experience because it has a smaller footprint than Ellice. I can see myself bringing the whole family to the Ellice location, or having a girls night out, or even a date night with other couples. It really caters to everyone.
Have no fear Winnipeg! Other locations are coming soon. Their 4th location will be on North Main and the 5th location will be where I grew up, in Transcona.

Layers of fresh veggies – Roma tomato, green pepper, onion and mushrooms nestle under a generous covering of a blend of mozza-cheddar cheese. Pizza perfection!
