Backcountry Pizza

If you find yourself wandering through the breathtaking landscapes of Pemberton, BC, there’s a gem you simply cannot miss: Backcountry Pizza. Nestled at 1436 Pemberton Portage Rd, this delightful pizza takeaway joint has established itself as a favorite among locals and travelers alike.

What sets Backcountry Pizza apart is its commitment to quality. Each pizza is handmade with premium ingredients, ensuring that every slice offers a burst of flavor that delights the senses. Among its standout offerings, the Malawi BBQ Chicken and Vitally Vegan pizzas receive rave reviews. The former boasts a harmonious blend of peri-peri spiced chicken, smoky house BBQ sauce, and a sprinkle of aged cheddar, perfectly accented by a cilantro-lime drizzle. Meanwhile, the Vitally Vegan pizza surprises even non-vegan diners with its refreshing mix of fresh vegetables, Castelvetrano olives, and a delightful basil-cilantro lime drizzle.

Customers consistently praise the crust, which strikes the perfect balance between crispy and soft. Take it from Grant K, a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, who describes Backcountry Pizza as one of the tastiest he’s ever had. He particularly enjoyed the cheese-baked crust, remarking, "It was absolutely perfect all around." This sentiment is echoed by others who have enjoyed the NYC Pepperoni for its crispy edges and bold flavor.

Backcountry Pizza doesn’t just satisfy your hunger; it creates an experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff dedicated to delivering excellent customer service. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice at the bar or settling in for a whole pie, each visit feels special.

    I'll start by saying I consider myself a pizza conneseur, I try pizza absolutely everywhere I go. This has got to be one of the tastiest pizzas I've had. It's absolutely perfect all around. I especially liked the cheese baked crust. I was only passing through town and got one slice, but that's enough for me to be sure this place knows a good pie. It was also 5 for a fairly large slice which I thought was reasonable. I will be ordering a whole pizza, maybe 2 next time I'm here. Don't pass on this place, you won't be disappointed!

    If you’re ever in Pemberton, BC, Backcountry Pizza is a must-visit! We had the pleasure of dining there yesterday and tried their Malawi BBQ Chicken and Vitally Vegan pizzas, and both were absolutely fantastic. The Malawi BBQ Chicken was a flavor-packed delight! The peri-peri spiced chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the house BBQ sauce added a smoky sweetness that paired wonderfully with the aged cheddar and cilantro-lime drizzle. The red onion added just the right crunch to balance it all out. Every bite was a burst of flavor. On the other hand, the Vitally Vegan pizza was equally impressive. It’s rare to find a vegan pizza that doesn’t compromise on taste, but this one nailed it. The combination of fresh vegetables, Castelvetrano olives, and the basil-cilantro lime drizzle was refreshing and satisfying. Even as non-vegans, we were thoroughly impressed by its taste and quality. The pizzas were handmade with premium ingredients, and it truly showed. The crust was just the right thickness—crispy on the outside and soft inside. The staff was friendly, and the ambiance of the place was warm and inviting. Whether you’re a meat lover, vegetarian, or vegan, Backcountry Pizza has something for everyone. Highly recommended!
