I had an extremely unpleasant interaction with a staff member of Gondola Pizza that I feel compelled to share. I parked briefly in a public parking spot in front of the restaurant while picking up my child from daycare. To my surprise, a staff member came out of the restaurant and aggressively confronted me in front of my two young children, demanding I move my car, and claimed that the parking spot was reserved for them. This was a public parking spot, clearly not designated for private use, and their behavior was entirely uncalled for. I should also mention that he parked right next to me and this was all happening while I was trying to get my child into their car seat. He continued to accost me while I was working on getting my kids in the car and decided to get into his car and rip out of the parking spot, nearly clipping me with his side mirror in the process.
My children were visibly upset by the staff member’s unnecessary aggression, and it was an overall distressing experience for our family. I strongly urge the management to address this kind of behavior and ensure that customers and members of the public are treated with respect. This experience has left a very negative impression of this establishment and it appears this isn't the first interaction of this kind.

I absolutely love Gondola Acadia! I've been coming to this location since I was little. Grew up around the corner, and now into adulthood I moved back to the neighborhood a couple years ago! All 3 of my kids love it as well. We always get the plain Jane thin crust. It's always been my go to. Definitely my comfort food. Thank you Gondola for 38 years of amazing pizza! ❤️ I'll always be back

I'm amazed one of these even exists outside of Winnipeg... but unfortunately, it's the same quality as within the Perimeter.

Almost driving into peoples vehicles and then yelling at parents in the parking lot is not a good way to get customers.
After my experience this afternoon I then found out that he had yelled at a few parents but only the women who park there. Not the dad's that park there.
Very disappointed. Will never be buying pizza here.

Had a tough steak, bread was slightly moldy, not fresh. A friend sent her meal back too. They are trying to save money, instead of encouraging people to come back.

Zero quality. Awful.

Beat up pizza that's as thin as paper with wings for $40 plus dollars. Worst value I've ever seen.
Thick crust pizza dough tastes like cardboard. They don’t cook it right either. I would feed this to my dog.

There was a Gondola Pizza in Calgary in the 70's, I still remember their jingle "Gondola pizza, our pizza can't be beatza when you put it all together it's incomparable". Moved back to YYC and thought I'd try this one. Terrible, no sauce, no toppings, no flavour just a rip like most. Avoid.

Always a great pizza. I actually come from BC to get their pizza.
Parking: They're located in a strip mall with plenty of parking and other stores.

Ordered the Acadia Special. The crispy and chewy crust texture was amazing. Full slices of ham and pepperoni with loads of cheese over the rest of the toppings!!! Love how they cut the round pizza into square and triangle pieces if you know what I mean. One of the best pizzas in town. Oh yeah, the staff was really friendly upon pick up.
