What is it about pizza that’s so darned satisfying?? Maybe the fact there are variations that suit every mood? From tangy pineapple combined with ham (oh, who was the genius who invented the Hawaiian pizza???) to the tasty overload of goodness you’ll find in the Veggie Lover’s pizza to good old cheese, cheese, and more cheese (plus a couple of toppings) to… well, consider the chicken variations! BBQ, Grilled Chicken Rustico or Arrabbiata… The list goes on! And that’s before you start playing with the do-it-yourself combinations You get my point - pizza is the perfect solution when you need something satisfying but playful. Ya’ know?
If for some reason, the pizza options aren’t quite what you’re craving, Pizza Hut in Canmore has plenty of other goodies to choose from. Wings, pasta, salad, cheesy bread, garlic knots and… wait for it - Cinnabon Mini Rolls!
There’s more… (scroll down for the full menu) but I’m nearly out of space and I don’t want to leave without mentioning the specials! $5.00 pizzas, for example! Yep - get a bunch of friends together, order a large pizza at the regular price and then get a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th medium (of equal or lesser value) for only $5 each! (Limited time offer - check with the store before ordering).

Who says fast and convenient equals unhealthy? Not at Freshii’s where nutrition and taste are happy bedfellows. The menu is constantly being tweaked (watch for seasonal special menu items), but you’ll always find delicious, healthy options in all these categories: bowls, burritos, salads, wraps, soups, smoothies & juices. Check out their vegetarian chilli or cocoa energii bites or dive into a fiesta salad made with field greens, avocado, aged cheddar, corn, black beans, salsa fresca, with cilantro lime vinaigrette. Yummy! Just looking at the food and you feel a surge of zesty energy. Ok, maybe that’s just me - but take a slurp of a Freshii green smoothie and I bet you’ll feel the goodness flooding through your system - kale isn’t called a superfood for nothing.
Even though you can have your noshies to go, Freshii’s commitment to green means you don’t need to feel bad about the packaging: it’s all made from biodegradable corn and potato resin or is easily recyclable. Imagine, food that’s good for you and a company that’s kind to the Earth. Win. Win. Win.
