A pizza order can take a different direction depending on what everyone at the table is craving. This look at specialty pizza Edmonton options compares five of the eight specialty combinations available from Pappa’s Family Restaurant & Lounge: All Meat Pizza, Greek Pizza, Donair Pizza, Seafood Pizza, and BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza. Each featured choice is available as a 12-inch large pizza, with listed toppings that make it easier to choose a meat-forward, vegetarian, donair, seafood, or chicken-and-bacon dinner.
Five Featured Specialty Pizzas in Edmonton
Pappa’s Family Restaurant & Lounge has been part of Edmonton’s historic Beverly area for more than 30 years. The restaurant’s pizza menu includes eight specialty combinations in 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch sizes. This comparison focuses on five 12-inch choices with especially distinct topping combinations, rather than attempting to cover every specialty pizza on the menu.
The selection moves well beyond a single-topping order. All Meat Pizza brings together five meats, Greek Pizza is a vegetarian-labelled combination with feta cheese, Donair Pizza uses tzatziki sauce and donair meat, Seafood Pizza centres shrimp and crab, and BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza pairs chicken and bacon with barbeque sauce.
Choose by the main flavour direction
- All Meat Pizza is the choice for a broad combination of bacon, pepperoni, ham, beef, and salami.
- Greek Pizza is the vegetable-led, vegetarian-labelled option among the five featured pizzas.
- Donair Pizza brings donair meat, onions, fresh tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce together.
- Seafood Pizza puts shrimp and crab at the centre of the topping list.
- BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza combines chicken, bacon, onions, and barbeque sauce.
All five fit Pappa’s family-style pizza approach, known for thick, crispy crusts and generous toppings. For the full range of pizzas, pasta, burgers, and more, see the Pappa’s menu.
All Meat Pizza or BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza?
All Meat Pizza and BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza are both meat-forward, but their listed ingredients give them very different identities. The first is a five-meat combination of bacon, pepperoni, ham, beef, and salami. The second concentrates on chicken, bacon, onions, and barbeque sauce.
That distinction helps when deciding what the group wants from a pizza night. Pick All Meat Pizza when a varied lineup of meat toppings is the priority. Pick BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza when the chicken-and-bacon combination and barbeque sauce sound like the better fit.
All Meat Pizza
All Meat Pizza combines bacon, pepperoni, ham, beef, and salami. It suits diners looking for several meat toppings in one pizza and a hearty specialty option for dinner.
BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza
BBQ Chicken Bacon Pizza is listed with barbeque sauce, chicken, bacon, and onions. It is a good pick when a focused chicken-and-bacon topping combination appeals more than a wider mix of meats.
For a closer look at the five-meat combination, visit Pappa’s dedicated All Meat Pizza page. These two pizzas can also complement a vegetable-led or seafood choice in a mixed order.
Greek Pizza and Donair Pizza for Different Tastes
Greek Pizza and Donair Pizza take two clearly separate paths. The 12-inch Greek Pizza is marked vegetarian and includes mushrooms, green peppers, onions, olives, fresh tomatoes, and feta cheese. It is built around vegetables and feta rather than meat toppings.
The 12-inch Donair Pizza is listed with tzatziki sauce, donair meat, onions, and fresh tomatoes. Its shorter ingredient list makes the donair direction easy to recognize, especially for a diner deciding between a familiar pizza combination and a donair-inspired one.
Greek Pizza
Greek Pizza is marked vegetarian and includes mushrooms, green peppers, onions, olives, fresh tomatoes, and feta cheese. It suits a table looking for a vegetable-led specialty pizza with feta as part of the combination.
Donair Pizza
Donair Pizza includes tzatziki sauce, donair meat, onions, and fresh tomatoes. It fits diners who want a pizza based around a familiar donair-inspired topping combination.
For a group meal, these choices can make the decision simpler: Greek Pizza covers a vegetarian-labelled option among the five featured pizzas, while Donair Pizza is for the person specifically looking for donair meat and tzatziki sauce on a pizza.
Seafood Pizza Brings Shrimp and Crab to the Table
Seafood Pizza stands apart from the other four featured choices because its listed ingredients are creamy seafood sauce, shrimp, and crab. Rather than combining multiple meats or a long list of vegetables, it keeps the focus on seafood.
That makes Seafood Pizza straightforward to identify when a group has several different preferences. It gives Edmonton diners a specialty pizza built around shrimp and crab, while the other featured choices cover five meats, vegetarian vegetables and feta, donair meat, or chicken and bacon.
Seafood Pizza
Seafood Pizza includes creamy seafood sauce, shrimp, and crab. It suits diners who want seafood to be the main focus of their pizza selection.
