Gaga Pizzeria Review - Delectable Pizzas and a Friendly Experience

Did you know that a small, unassuming pizza place named Gaga Pizzeria is the #1 ranked Calgary restaurant on TripAdvisor? With a 5.0 rating as well as being an affordable place to eat, I knew I had to try it some day. And I did!

Entering the restaurant, I was surprised by its small size. It has limited indoor and outdoor seating, so consider taking your pizza as takeout. The eatery is whimsically decorated with dollar bills from all over the world across the ceiling and interesting paintings on the walls.

Dollar bills from all over the world

We were greeted with Balkan hospitality by the friendly couple who own the pizzeria, and our order was completed quite quickly.
My family and I shared three 10" pizzas for about $13 each: the Signora Gaga, Garden, and Mamma Mia. YUM!

I started with the Mamma Mia, a delicious and somewhat familiar combination of olives, mushrooms, hot peppers, Italian sausage, and cappiccollo (a type of Italian cured pork) all on top of mozzarella. I've never had cappiccollo before; it was certainly a welcome addition :).

Next, I had the Garden pizza which had a good number of veggies and greens on it: spinach, green pepper, onions, olives, and tomato. It had provolone on it which I'm not a fan of (yes, I'm a baby) but I still enjoyed it, as did the rest of my family who are provolone fans :). If you're picky about your cheese, they show which cheese is on each pizza on the menu (the rest I had were mozzarella).

Finally, my favourite was their signature pizza: The Signora Gaga. Topped with spinach, olives, prosciutto, and figs, every bite was quite special. I've never had figs on a pizza before, but they worked exceptionally well with the rest of the pizza almost as a palate cleanser or a sweetness to pair with it.

It was an overall great experience visiting this charming restaurant, and I will be recommending it to anyone looking for pizza in Calgary. Another MIAM MIAM rating :)

5 Things to do Before the UCalgary Semester Starts

I know, I know... summer is almost over already and it feels like it's barely started. Regardless, it's only a bit more than a week before classes start again (less if you're doing Block Week, which I tried last year ), so here are some reminders before the school year begins. Set up your calendar For UCalgary students, download your class times through the D2L portal and  import your them to your preferred service (mine is Outlook) : Personally, I like to colour code and label lectures/tutorials/labs separately on my calendar like so: Of course, many people also just take a screenshot of their timetable and set it as a wallpaper or save it somewhere easy to access; that can work too :). Put in your Course Overload Request(s) This is a pretty urgent and important one: make sure you check your degree requirements. If you're still waitlisted or not enrolled for a course that you need  to take this year, then you should submit a course overload request ASAP. At UCalgary fo...

My Study Abroad "Girl Math(s)"

For the unitiated, "Girl Math" is when you justify spending money as saving money by jumping through a few mental hoops - such as by spending an extra $15 on Amazon to get free shipping. So as a lighthearted and slightly helpful financial overview of my exchange experience from UCalgary to Oxford Brookes University, here are some Girl Math examples I thought about during my study abroad experience. If you exchange to a university with tuition more expensive than your home university, you're getting a great deal Living in student accommodation is $30/night versus a minimum $100/night hotel, and you get a free transit pass, so it's a super discounted vacation! Visiting a free museum in the UK is worth $30 equivalent in Canada. So visit many! Every $400 trip to another country basically saves $1000+ in flights that you'd have to pay to take that trip from Canada If you get a study abroad scholarship, that's free money that you wouldn't get otherwise  Eating l...
