Beautiful views of the bow river while enjoying some pizza. Pizza is extra large with a thin crust.

Food was amazing! View from the rooftop patio was great! Would highly recommend if you are looking for something different, for ambience. Menu is limited, so make sure you love pizza. The Caesar Salad, although pricey for the amount in the dish, is very good.

We went there as part of our anniversary weekend and it was beyond our expectations. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious as we got the Detroit style pepperoni pizza, and the rooftop experience was awesome.

We loved our dinner at this unique Calgary venue! It was my partner and my first time to Connie and Johns and we were so impressed. This patio is tucked close to the bow river which made for beautiful views. The menu was simple and done well. Fresh and quality ingredients made the pizza reminiscent of Italy. I wish I discovered this place earlier in the summer to squeeze in a few more visits. We will be back!

Patio is beautiful! New York style pizzas are delicious and big enough for 3-4 people. Cabbage salad is a sharing size. Our server was friendly and attentive, quick to offer refills on drinks!

We had the New York Style Pizza, it was delicious, but the center was a tad soggy. Service and environment are great, awesome place for a summer date night. We will be back to try the other style of pizza.
