It can be said without reservation that pizza is one of the most beloved foods on earth. This humble pie is not only one of Italy’s national treasures (the other of course being pasta), it is an international phenomenon.

If you’ve never had the opportunity to travel to Napoli to sample the real thing, you’re in luck. At Gastown's Nicli Antica Pizzeria you can bite into a slice of Neapolitan pizza that tastes so authentic, you’d swear you were sitting in a bustling piazza in the heart of Naples.

Nicli Antica Pizzeria’s owner Bill McCaig went to great lengths to make sure his pizza tasted like what he’d experienced in Italy; going so far as to have his popular eatery be the first certified Verace Napoletana pizza in Vancouver. (Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (VPN) evaluates the authenticity of Neapolitan pizzas around the world.)

Bill explains: “Under the VPN rules, an authentic Neapolitan pizza should have characteristics such as hand-made dough, ingredients preferably from Campania, sliced cheese as opposed to hand-sliced, and pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven for 60-90 seconds.”

Originally from Ontario, Bill went from running the family’s waste management company to attending Le Cordon Bleu Ottawa Culinary Arts Institute, before heading to Naples to learn pizza-making from the masters.

“I could never find that perfect pizza, so I decided I can’t be the only one here craving Neapolitan pizza … that was the start,” says Bill.

Hit these Happy Hour hotspots in Vancouver's Gastown 'hood

Known simply as the “Half Price Pizza and Beer” deal, this offer at Nicli’s Next Door is the perfect Happy Hour combo for thirsty (and hungry) folks in Gastown. Offered daily from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, the deal explains itself: enjoy a full draught beer alongside an expertly cooked thin-crust Margherita pizza (with an onslaught of add-ons available, if you wish) for right around 10 bucks. Set aside some time (the pizza is not available to go), sit down and dig in.

Nicli Antica Pizzeria on Cordova has really amazing pizza, and then Nicli’s Next Door is a great place to go with a group of friends. They have a fantastic sharing menu with a lot of different small dishes so you can nibble and sample a variety of antipasti plates (meatballs, olives, salumi boards) and house-made pastas. And they have a $5 house wine, which is a great deal.
