The date
Nicli earned Vancouver's first Verace Pizza Napoletana certification back in 2011, and this Edgemont Village room is the only place on the North Shore holding one. The oven sits between 430 and 480C, so a margherita goes in and comes out in roughly ninety seconds wearing the leopard-spotted char the certification is actually about. The room is bright marble and pale wood with a full bar and a patio, and the village is right outside the door, which makes it an easy stop to hang a whole afternoon or a whole plan around.
How to do it
Book a table, because the room is small and Edgemont fills it fast. Order a margherita plus one of the premium pies, the mortadella with burrata being the one people come back for, and get the focaccia going while the oven works. Pizzas run about $16 to $26 and land in a couple of minutes, so this fits neatly around something else in the village. Park free under the Connaught building a block away, entry off Ayr Avenue, then walk the two minutes back up Highland.
