Emilio Finatti Pizzeria has been a Port Moody favourite for more than 15 years, known for thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven. Walk in and you’ll notice the open kitchen and the 8-foot oak pizza counter, where dough is hand-stretched every day and pies go from bench to oven in under 90 seconds. They specialise in traditional Italian techniques, fresh BC ingredients, and flavourful house-made sauces that keep people coming back.

The menu covers more than pizza. Expect classic Margherita and Prosciutto e Rucola, a seasonal spot prawn pizza when local seafood is on, and a 14-inch spicy salami pie that regulars order by name. There are salads like the chopped fennel and orange with saba, antipasti plates featuring imported San Daniele prosciutto, and a small but thoughtful selection of desserts including house tiramisu. They also offer family-sized take-and-bake trays for groups, weekly pizza deals on Tuesdays, and a rotating vegan pizza with cashew mozzarella.

Service here feels personal. The team includes two long-serving chefs trained in Italy and a front-of-house crew who know your usual by sight. Orders are taken quickly at the counter or by phone for pickup, and delivery is handled through a local courier to keep slices hot. The interior seats about 40, with patio seating in warmer months, so it works for a quick lunch, a date night, or a small celebration.

Port Moody chooses Emilio Finatti for consistent flavour, visible craft, and neighbourhood warmth. They support community events and often donate pizza to local fundraisers and school nights. Drop by for a slice or call ahead for a group order, you’ll leave with a favourite new local spot. Phone: 604-469-8448. Website: http://www.emiliofinatti.com/
