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 :)

Rating my Experience in Each of my First Year Courses (CS/CPSC @ UCalgary)

Fall CPSC 231 (Intro to CS with Python), Required - This course was a nice introduction to the basics of programming with Python. It was fairly easy for me since I had some prior experience with coding, but I think it would be manageable for beginners too. The only downside was that the assignments were graded by a computer program, so even a minor mistake like a typo or a missing comma could lower your mark significantly. I heard that this course is better organized and taught than CPSC 217, which is the online version of it. I would give this course a 7/10 because it was good but not very challenging. PHIL 279 (Logic and Proofs), Required - This course was pretty interesting and different. It teaches you how to use logic and mathematical symbols to construct and evaluate arguments, and it required a certain way of thinking that was not intuitive at first. I took the online assessment version of the course, which gave me more flexibility but also required more self-disci...

UCalgary Tech Recruiting w/ BobaTalks’ Jeff Nguyen

While this isn’t quite a tech blog, this post should have some important insights for any UCalgary students interested in a tech career. After seeing that  Jeff Nguyen , a recruiter in the student space, founder of BobaTalks (which provides free mentorship for students), and prolific "LinkedInfluencer" (the good kind) was going to have a booth at  CalgaryHacks 2025 , I knew I had to reach out. As someone deeply involved in both student mentorship and tech recruiting, he seemed like the perfect person to chat with about student recruiting, starting with how UCalgary students can stand out in the job market.  Q: UCalgary has good computer science courses and fantastic clubs. Even so, many students here find it tough to break into big or even mid-sized tech companies because there's not a lot of direct access to recruiters. What's your take on the best way for students in a market like ours to get noticed? Jeff : I believe that computer science is one of those fields wh...
