Pepperoni
Tomato sauce, mozzarella, and generous pepperoni.
Coming soon to Lethbridge
A new pizza place for Lethbridge, Alberta.
Good pizza. Fair price. Done right. We’re building it now. The dough, the menu, the room, the screens. Get on the list and you’ll know the opening date before anyone else.
Not open yet. No date announced. We’ll tell this list first.
About 90% of the fancy-pizza experience for about 75% of the price. You shouldn’t need a coupon to feel like you got a fair deal.
Four sizes plus a kids size. Build your own if you want. A short menu we can cook properly beats a long one we can’t.
One restaurant, in Lethbridge. Nobody in another province deciding what goes on your pizza.
The pizza
The classics done properly, plus a few we think Lethbridge will get attached to. Toppings listed plainly, because that’s what you actually want to know.
Tomato sauce, mozzarella, and generous pepperoni.
Pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, mozzarella and tomato sauce.
Pepperoni, ham, bacon and sausage with mozzarella and tomato sauce.
Chicken, bacon, mozzarella, ranch-style sauce and a light finish.

These are built and being tested. Some make opening day. Tell us which ones matter and you’ll help decide.
Pepperoni, bacon, jalapeño and red onion with a hot-honey finish. The one we’re most attached to.

AlwaysFour sizes, plus a 6-inch for kids. The 16 is a proper family pizza, not a 14 with optimism.
More than pizza
Everything here comes off the same dough or the same oven, which is how we keep it quick without it getting worse.
Our dough, our cheese, eight pieces. Order two, because the sharing plan never survives contact with the table.
Simple, hot, does the job. Not everything needs a reinvention.
Warm cinnamon-sugar dough bites with icing dip.
Cheesy bread with real pizza toppings on it.
In testingBoth are in testing. Both use the same dough we cold-ferment for the pizza. If they’re good enough they’re on the menu, and if they’re not, they aren’t.
In testingEveryone asks. Every single person. We’re working through it properly instead of buying a deep fryer and hoping for the best. Boneless bites are in testing too. Get on the list and we’ll tell you the moment it’s sorted.
Working on itDirty sodas
Take a Coke or a Pepsi. Add flavour syrup, a bit of citrus, and cream if you want it. That’s the whole idea. It sounds like something a teenager invented at a gas station, and then you try one and order a second.
If you’ve never had one, start with Cherry Vanilla. If you have, you already know why this section exists and you’re probably annoyed that nowhere in Lethbridge makes them yet.
Every one of these gets built on Coke or Pepsi. You pick.
More flavours are in testing. The ones people actually order are the ones we keep. Stocking fifteen syrups so the menu looks impressive is how you end up with fourteen dusty bottles and one that runs out.
Both. We’re carrying both. Most restaurants sign with one company and then make you live with it, which is a strange thing to decide on a customer’s behalf.
We’re still sorting out how the fountain works. If it comes to it, we’ll haul in 2L bottles ourselves and pour them by hand. Nobody’s getting told which one they like.
Both. Final answer.After work
Six screens, put where you can actually see them. Sound stays off most nights, and on for the ones that deserve it. Cold draft, a short tap list, and a 10-inch that arrives fast enough to eat before the second period.
Flames and Oilers get equal billing. We’re not decorating the place in one team’s colours and making half the room feel like visitors. Your family can sort that out at home like everyone else.
Something mainstream, something light, and something from close to home. A short list we can keep fresh beats a long one that sits.
The beer is there because it goes with pizza and a game. You’ll feel the difference the moment you walk in with your kids.
Trades, healthcare, shift work, students: the late afternoon is built for you. Counter service, and nobody expects you to change out of your work clothes.
Families
Plenty of places say families are welcome and then seat you next to a wall of televisions at bar height. We’re building around proper tables, light you can actually see your food in, and a room where a four-year-old isn’t a problem.
Six inch. Cheese or pepperoni. That’s it, so there’s no long topping negotiation while everyone’s hungry.
Dirty sodas and a proper fountain get the same billing as the beer. Nobody should feel like the odd one out for not drinking.
Big pizza, cheesy bread, a 2L. Feeding four people shouldn’t require a spreadsheet.
Built for Lethbridge
One independent pizza place, opening in Lethbridge, run by people who’ll be standing in it every day.
We’re new here as a business, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that the decisions get made in this city. The toppings, the prices, the sizes, which game is on the big screen.
Dough tests, the oven arriving, pizzas that didn’t work, the sign going up. If you like watching a place get built, this is the interesting part.

Straight answers
If you found this page by asking something out loud, here is the short version.
Mustin’s Pizzeria is one of them. An independent pizza restaurant, currently being built, in Lethbridge, Alberta. No opening date has been announced yet, and we’re not going to guess at one in public.
A few places around town do them. Ours will be a full menu of them, not one or two options tacked onto a drinks list, and every single one can be built on Coke or Pepsi. Not open yet.
That’s what we’re building. Six screens, placed where you can see them, with the sound off unless it’s a game that earns it. Flames and Oilers get equal billing and there’s no house team. It’s a pizza restaurant with the game on, rather than a sports bar that sells pizza.
There will be. Most restaurants sign with one company and that settles it for everyone who walks in. We’re carrying both, and if the fountain arrangement doesn’t allow it we’ll buy bottles at retail and pour them by hand.
No. One restaurant, in one city, independently owned. Not a franchise, not a location of something bigger.
Built for it. Proper tables you can get a high chair up to, a six inch kids pizza that’s cheese or pepperoni and nothing complicated, and drinks that aren’t all beer. Once we’re open.
Questions
No date yet. When there is one, the First Slice list gets it first, before the sign goes up and before it hits social.
Not announced yet. When the location is confirmed it goes on this page the same day.
Coke or Pepsi, mixed with flavour syrups, citrus, and cream if you want it. Cherry vanilla is the usual gateway. Big in Utah and Idaho, and slowly catching on up here.
Yes. We’re carrying both, and every dirty soda can be built on either one. If that means buying bottles at retail, so be it. Half of Lethbridge isn’t getting told their pop is the wrong one.
We’re working on it. We won’t put them on the menu until we can cook them properly in the oven we’ve got, and we’re not buying a deep fryer just to say we have wings.
Kid-friendly. There’s beer and there are screens, but it’s a pizza restaurant first. Proper tables, a kids pizza, and the sound off unless it’s a game that warrants it.
That’s the plan, and we’re sorting out the details. Pickup pricing will stay fair either way. We’re not going to quietly make direct orders the worse deal.
No. One restaurant, in Lethbridge, independently owned.
