3 Best Places for Margherita Pizza in Winnipeg

Q: What are the best places for margherita pizza in Winnipeg?

Harth Mozza & Wine Bar is our top pick in Winnipeg. Harth Mozza & Wine Bar has been doing something quietly radical in Winnipeg's south end since 2017: building a neighborhood restaurant that the neighborhood actually treats like one. Chef-co-owner Brent Genyk, who grew up nearby, designed the space around a wood-fired oven that doubles as the room's architectural centerpiece, with a long counter running around it. The setup isn't decorative — it's functional and intentional. Diners at the counter watch the kitchen work in real time, which fits the broader philosophy: house-cured meats, daily fresh pasta, and a kitchen that apparently wants you to understand what's happening on your plate. In a city where that kind of transparency still isn't a given, it reads as a clear point of view rather than a marketing pitch. The menu's most-discussed dishes track that same logic. The Tuna Crudo is built around chili oil and citrus — orange in particular — a combination that regulars describe as deceptively straightforward and well-balanced. The Tagliatelle with Duck Confit is the dish that has reportedly never cycled off the menu, which is its own argument: the pasta is made in-house, and the duck is widely described as rich without tipping into heaviness, landing somewhere between comfort food and careful cooking. The Margherita Pizza out of that wood-fired oven is exactly what you'd want it to be — no reinvention, no garnish theater, just a blistered crust and fresh mozzarella doing the work they're supposed to do. Practically speaking: the counter seats fill fast and are reportedly worth prioritizing for timing and the view of the oven. The Tagliatelle and the Crudo together appear to be the sharpest two-course combination on the menu. Book ahead on weekends — this is a room that consistently runs full, and walk-in odds on a Friday are not in your favor. Other strong options include Santa Ana Pizzeria & Bistro and Pizzeria Pronto.

Pizzeria Pronto — Pizzeria Pronto has built its identity around a proposition that sounds simple but is actually a quiet act of commitment: one price, unlimited toppings, dough made in-house that morning. At locations on Sterling Lyon Parkway and St. James Street, this is neighbourhood pizza in the most literal sense — owner Mike is a Winnipegger, the staff are Winnipeggers, and the operation has been shaped by people who need it to be good year after year, not just on opening week. The open-concept room is clean and modern without the deliberate coolness that often signals a kitchen coasting on atmosphere. This is a place built for regularity, for the family that orders Thursday nights and the solo diner who knows exactly what they want before they walk in. The menu centers on custom pizza, but a few touchstones give the kitchen its character. The Margherita is the honest benchmark — dough and tomato sauce made on-site, a clean read on whether the fundamentals hold. The Spicy Paneer Tikka pizza is the most telling item on the menu: it signals a kitchen willing to speak to Winnipeg's actual population rather than performing Italian nostalgia for its own sake. The Sorrento salad rounds out a short but considered supporting cast. Chicken, beef, and sausage are cooked and seasoned in-house, which matters when toppings are the entire premise — the kitchen can't hide behind a premium imported ingredient. Diners consistently point to the value proposition and the freshness of the vegetables as the reasons they return. The move here is to treat the unlimited-topping model as a genuine creative brief rather than an excuse to pile on. Regulars who've worked out their combinations report the kitchen handles loaded pizzas without protest. Both locations run a similar operation, but the St. James Street spot is newer — worth knowing if you're coming from the west end. Order for pickup if the room is busy; they're set up for it and the pizza travels well. View restaurant →
