Pacifico

For a lunch hang out, we decided to go to Pacifico located downtown Vancouver. We headed inside Pacifico and were amazed to how large it was on the inside! Once we were seated we were given menus and found it odd that they didn’t offer their lunch menu on weekends. Instead they had their dinner menu all day offering appetizers, salads, pasta dishes and pizzas.

Pollo Rustica pizza

★★

It came with grilled chicken breast, artichoke hearts, gouda, mozzarella, red onion and cilantro. The thickness of the crust was perfect because it was a happy medium between thin and thick. We ended up asking for salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. We felt like we were bothering our server to get it. Since she didn’t seem too impressed with us when we asked for it. Usually it wouldn’t be a big deal but we were the only guests in the restaurant!

Margerhita pizzetta

★★

We also got the Margerhita pizzetta. I had never seen a margerhita pizza served like this where there was only two measly basil leaves on top and so much cheese! Every brick oven pizzeria I’ve been to at this point always had rounds of mozzarella on top of the pizza. It was definitely not drenched in cheese.

It was also really oily on top…which was another first for me when it comes to this type of pizza. When I told our server about this I was told “the margerhita IS a CHEESE pizza so do you want it with less cheese then?” Needless to say, I felt really not so smart when she told me that and almost a little offended just because her tone seemed like she was irritated with me but below is the redone version with “less” cheese.

I ended up taking half of my pizzetta home for lil’ bun to finish because I was just not a fan of it. I was a little surprised that she gave it to me in a baggie but at least it was reheatable.
