Funny related story, skip if you just want the question I'm asking:
Being from the east coast I love garlic fingers. The first time I called a pizza shop here to order some, this is how it went:
me - Hi, can I get a large pizza and garlic fingers?
shop - You want large pizza?
me - Yes, and garlic fingers.
shop - You want garlic......garlic bread?
me - No, garlic fingers. Like the pizza, but garlic fingers?
shop - We have garlic bread.
me - WTF.......no dude, garlic fingers. You don't have garlic fingers?
shop - No, sorry.
me - Thanks anyway.
-click-
me - HEY GUYS, THIS DUMBASS DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT GARLIC FINGERS ARE!
everyone else - What the hell are garlic fingers?

I quickly learned it is an east coast thing, although very funny.
So are there any pizza shops in Calgary that have this? Garlic fingers and crumbled bacon are..........:drool:

Mar, there is no pizza like there is pizza from the east coast. Actually, I believe there is no pizza as good as you can get in the town I'm from but I might be biased. :D

Pizza delight has THE best I have had in thec ity, then again I am from the east where pizza delight originated from.

They have east coast donair sauce.. not "sweet" sauce.

Super Donairs are baddass there as well, so is the pizza

sauces is the thicker almost whipped kind compared to greco but and extremely similar taste.. maybe a little sweeter.

Also the bacon is real crumbled bacon bits.

PRicing is also very reasonable

You mixed 2 opposites here. Is it real or is it bacon bits? Or did you actually mean bits of bacon?

actual cooked bacon, then turned into bacon bits... really hard to explain but they are not all the tiny little bacon pieces you normally see but larger pieces

When you order you will see what i mean

you can kind tell in this photo, sorry for the size

These look really close to pizza huts breadsticks with cheese. Are these close? Like if I added bacon bits to the my cheesy breadsticks would it be the same thing?

You should, I know there based out east and are all over the maritimes. I used to work at the one in evergreen and we used to get easterners driving in from as far as lethbridge just to eat there.

Pretty sad considering there pizza is average and most of the rest of the food is pre-cooked then microwaved.

I remember there was a Pizza Delight in Calgary... It's in Evergreen. I went there a couple times, NOTHING like the Pizza Delight back home, but maybe it's improved now?

Well I'm not a Maritimer but close enough. How come Pizza Delight doesn't have garlic fingers on their online menu?

I was on the west coast of newf last month, there were pizza delights all over the place.

In edmonton the real canadian brew house has ok garlic fingers.. Not sure if there is one in calgary though?

As a fellow Newfoundlander who knows exactly what you are looking for, I am telling you to go to Pizza Delight. Just make sure you get the donair sauce for dipping:drool: :drool:

Was just about to give them a call and their only location is on 162 Avenue SW, I'm by the airport. Damnit.
