Bicycle Pizza

Bicycle Pizza is a cross between New York and California style with a little Mediterranean flair thrown in for good measure. But categorizing pizza is a silly thing to do. Who cares? It’s delicious! The dough is old-school with no funny ingredients: soft flour (with a bit of whole wheat), water, yeast and salt, and a little elbow grease too, as it’s mixed and rolled by hand.

Bicycle Pizza offers thin crust, handmade, mostly round pizza for pre-order online and take-out only. The new pizza business on the Saanich Peninsula is locally owned and operated by a husband and wife team, Andrew and Vanessa Johnson. Operating out of Beauregard Cafe in Brentwood Bay, customers pick up their pizza at the cafe (available Wednesday to Friday, every week).

We recently caught up with Andrew so we could hear first-hand about why he and Vanessa decided to open Bicycle Pizza and learn about the connection between bikes and pizza (and we may have had to indulge in some taste-testing ourselves, of course). Watch the video below to hear more about their pizza-cooking experience, their pies' signature crust and exactly how to order your own freshly made pizza for take-out.
