Best Pizza Edmonton: Six Specialty Pizzas to Try

Finding a pizza for a busy Edmonton evening is easier when the choices are clear. This look at best pizza Edmonton options at Time Out Pizza and Pub focuses on six specialty combinations: Time Out Special Pizza, Donair Pizza, Greek Pizza, Mexican Pizza, All Meat Pizza and Vegetarian Pizza. It breaks down the listed toppings, vegetarian flags and the occasions each option suits, so a group can settle on a pizza that fits the table.

Why Specialty Pizza Stands Out in Edmonton

When people search for a memorable pizza in Edmonton, a long list of possibilities is less useful than a clear way to compare them. At Time Out Pizza and Pub, the six choices listed under Medium Specialty Pizza cover several distinct directions: a broad house combination, a donair-focused option, a vegetarian Greek-style choice, a salsa-and-jalapeno combination, an all-meat selection and a vegetarian mix of vegetables and pineapple.

Time Out Pizza and Pub has been part of Hazeldean since 2009, and pizza remains central to its neighbourhood-pub menu. The restaurant is known for its signature pizza sauce, but the practical decision for dinner starts with the toppings each specialty pizza brings together. Looking at those details makes it easier to choose for a couple of people, a family meal or a gathering around the table.

All six options discussed below are listed as Medium Specialty Pizzas. Some are built around a clear theme, while others bring several toppings into one order. Start with the kind of flavour direction your group wants, then use the comparison further down to narrow the field without guessing what comes on each pizza.

There is no single combination that suits every Edmonton pizza night. A shrimp-and-pineapple mix will appeal to a different table than a bacon, pepperoni, ham, beef and salami combination. The useful part is having choices that are specific enough to make the decision straightforward.

The House Combination and Donair-Focused Choices

The Time Out Special Pizza and Donair Pizza are two natural starting points for diners who want specialty pizza rather than a simple single-topping order. One is the restaurant’s broadest listed mix, while the other centres donair meat, onions and creamy donair sauce. Their topping lists make the difference clear from the first look.

With eight listed toppings, the Time Out Special Pizza gives the table plenty to talk about before the first slice is served. Bacon, pepperoni and shrimp sit alongside mushrooms, green peppers, onions, pineapple and olives, creating a wide-ranging combination rather than a single-theme pizza. Diners looking for more detail on this signature choice can also visit the Time Out Special Pizza page.

The Donair Pizza is more focused than the house special. Its listed combination keeps the attention on donair meat, onions, cheese and creamy donair sauce, making it a useful pick when everyone agrees on that flavour direction. For more on this option, see the Donair Pizza page.

For a table split between these two, the key question is simple: does the group want the Time Out Special Pizza’s long topping list, or the Donair Pizza’s defined donair combination? Both are specialty choices, but they answer different dinner plans.

Greek Pizza and Mexican Pizza: Two Distinct Directions

The Greek Pizza and Mexican Pizza both include vegetables in their listed toppings, yet they take notably different approaches. One is marked vegetarian and features feta cheese, while the other combines salsa, beef, cheddar cheese and jalapenos. This is a useful pairing to compare when a group wants something more specific than a broad house combination.

The Greek Pizza brings mushrooms, green peppers, onions, olives and fresh tomatoes together with feta cheese. Because it is marked vegetarian, it provides a clearly identified choice for a table that needs a vegetarian specialty pizza. Its ingredient list is also direct: the vegetables and feta are the defining features rather than a mix of meat toppings.

The Mexican Pizza has a different profile built around salsa, beef, onions, green peppers, cheddar cheese and jalapenos. It is a sensible choice when those listed ingredients are the reason for ordering, especially for diners who want jalapenos as part of a fuller beef-and-cheese pizza combination. Comparing it with the Greek Pizza is straightforward: feta and vegetarian status point one way, while salsa, beef, cheddar and jalapenos point another.

All Meat Pizza or Vegetarian Pizza?

The All Meat Pizza and Vegetarian Pizza make the clearest contrast in the specialty lineup. One brings together five meat toppings, while the other is marked vegetarian and combines vegetables, pineapple, cheese and fresh tomatoes. For groups deciding between these two, the listed ingredients quickly settle the question.

The All Meat Pizza is direct in both name and topping list. Bacon, pepperoni, ham, beef and salami are all included, with no need to choose among them. It can work well when the table is looking for a specialty option defined by several meat toppings rather than produce or a themed sauce.

The Vegetarian Pizza has mushrooms, green peppers, onions, pineapple, cheese and fresh tomatoes. It is marked vegetarian, which makes it a practical option to identify early when planning for a group. Compared with the Greek Pizza, it uses pineapple and cheese alongside its listed vegetables, while the Greek Pizza includes olives, feta cheese and fresh tomatoes.

These two pizzas show why the specialty section is useful for Edmonton diners: the menu makes the direction of each selection easy to see. Pick the All Meat Pizza for its five listed meats, or choose the Vegetarian Pizza for its marked vegetarian combination.

Compare the Six Medium Specialty Pizzas

Use the table below to compare what is actually listed on each specialty pizza. It is especially helpful when everyone at the table has a different first choice and the group needs to make one decision without overlooking a topping.

A quick way to make the choice

1. Start with dietary needs. The Greek Pizza and Vegetarian Pizza are marked vegetarian.
2. Choose the main flavour direction. Donair meat, salsa and jalapenos, feta, a five-meat mix or a larger house combination each lead to a different specialty pizza.
3. Compare the full topping list. This matters most for the Time Out Special Pizza, which has bacon, pepperoni, shrimp, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, pineapple and olives.
4. Review the live menu. It is the place to see the complete current pizza selection before making a final choice.

For a straightforward decision, use the selection cue as a starting point and the topping column as the final check. That approach keeps the choice tied to the ingredients that make each specialty pizza distinct.
