A fresh perspective on how pizza became Canada's favourite comfort food
When we think about Canadian cuisine, pizza might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, this beloved dish has woven itself into the fabric of our food culture in ways that deserve closer examination.
From the east coast's seafood-topped creations to the prairie's heartier, meat-focused interpretations, Canadian pizza tells a story of regional diversity and local ingredients.
