Redcan Gourmet - Tofino

Discovered this gem on our most recent trip to Tofino and ended up eating there three times. Amazing sandwiches, the most perfect fries and don't even get me started on the homemade hollandaise.

The only thing that kept running through my mind is ... This pizza has got such GREAT POTENTIAL!! From the start... everything was great... The staff was very polite. It was easy to place the order. .. Then we got our pizza.... It tasted good.. the toppings were fresh, the crust had good texture, but there was something missing.. It needed a little extra flavor ... maybe something like oregano, thymze, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, or pepper... I rounded up from 3.5 stars because I don't think it won't take much for them to get where they need to be. Like i said... Great Potential!!

We all know that rush when you open a fresh box of pizza and just the look of it sparks pure childish excitement, cheese oozing off the sides, steam rising from each glorious piece of pepperoni. Pizza at its best is art; simple, beautiful, delicious art. Ranch aficionado? no worries dip your 'Za into some caper aioli which is sure to tickle those tastebuds. The real crime here is how little recognition this gem seems to have, do yourself a favor and head on over to RedCan Gourmet, you won 't regret it.

Food that is tasty, easy, and cheap (at least for Tofino). We went twice in three days. Red Can offers a variety of 'gourmet ' foods but is best known for their pizza. The variety of toppings and the quality thereof is excellent everything from artichokes to feta to Calabrese salami. We ordered a bunch of different pizzas (all of which were good) but I give a special recommendation to any pie based on banana peppers and chorizo spicy and flavorful. The only downside is that the pizza dough itself is nothing special. Not crispy and thin (New York), light and chewy (Neopolitan), or thick and crusty (Chicago) it kind of sits in this no man 's land in between that allows them to pile on a bunch of cheese and toppings. Lastly, the owner and staff are cool and helpful (though it is hard to speak of service in a 'take out '/counter service only restaurant). And despite what some of the earlier reviews state, they added some tables inside in addition to the picnic benches in front.

Came here and grabbed a pizza and dessert before heading to the beach. Absolutely amazing pizza and great fresh ingredients, we had the carrot cake for dessert and it was the best carrot cake I have ever had! If you are in Tofino you are missing out if you don't eat here!
