Uncle Fatih’s Pizza

I first discovered Uncle Fatih’s pizza 10 years ago. Since then I have tried numerous flavours, but my go-​to is still the potato pizza.
The crust is not entirely thin, but light and airy. The toppings are generous with peppers, onions, and roasted cubed and seasoned potatoes. Something about carbs on carbs — really quite amazing.
Great for a slice on the go, or for takeout.

They’re the best CHEAP pizza of the cheap pizza places, so don’t expect gourmet. Unfortunately Uncle Fatih’s suffers from stale pizza, except for at peak times like Saturday night’s or rush hour when there’s a high turnover. They should reduce prices for older slices. At $ 2.00 per slice I want it fresh, even if it is junkfood, but really it’s the luck of the draw. Sometimes you go in and a fresh pizza is coming out of the oven, while at other times you’re basically going to get old cardboard.
The secret to Uncle Fatih’s being good is that they use a diversity of toppings that you don’t find at the other cheapo places, so there is variety. But their ingredients are still dirt cheap.
Honestly, the only way you can pretend this place is good is if you get a fresh slice. If the cheese has become hard whatsoever then the quality goes down pretty fast!

Blargh, got a slice of chicken and a slice of beef pizza after a show at The Rio. The beef slice was semi-​cold, hard, and tasted like it’d been sitting on the shelf for the whole day. The chicken slice was marginally less decrepit, but not enough to make me want to finish it.
The only saving grace here is the cheapness, but you get what you pay for.

One of my favourite pizza joints. My all-​time favourite pizza is the beef and blue cheese pizza. If you are looking for a slice and unsure of what to get, I would recommend getting a slice from the pizza that has most recently been taken out of the oven, since you can’t really go wrong with any of the pizzas they offer, and you will be getting the freshest pizza.

Great place to grab a slice on the go! cheap!

When it’s fresh from the oven it’s good pizza if it’s been sitting around in the warmer and looks a little weak walk away or order your own whole pizza warming it up wont revive this dead slice.

It was late on a drunken Saturday night and my friends and I needed some grub. Someone suggested this place as a cheap, but good, option for pizza. Cheap pizza? Count me in! Our friends picked up two larges (for $ 20, I think) and brought it back to our place. Man, it was terrible! I felt like I was eating cardboard with cheese sprinkled on top. Maybe it was because it was ordered so late and the people making it just wanted to leave. Who knows? I just know I wasn’t impressed and won’t be trying it sober, despite my friends cries that it’s «normally really good!»

Pizza on the run

Not the best pizza in Vancouver, but probably the best pizza on the drive. I enjoy the pesto and cheese or the veggie with feta. Always lots of vegetarian options, and it’s open late for a good after-​party snack.

It really depends on when you get there. My first experience was a slice of BBQ sauce pizza at 11pm, and it was the saddest slice of pizza I ever had. It was lukewarm, but it basically felt like cold pizza going into my mouth.
Fastfoward to my second visit, when I decided to give it another chance, this time around 5pm. A slice of meat lover’s fresh from the oven (I know this because I got the first slice of the whole pizza). It was great, smothered in meat and bacon, and totally worth it. At $ 2 a slice every day (tax included), it’s a steal.
So do yourself a favour and check to see how long it’s been sitting under the heat lamp…

Worst pizza ever. not even clean smells bad garbage everywhere
. Worst part about it they’re not even halal

Uncle Fatih has the best pizza in town! I’ve been coming here since it first opened. The trick is to go here, not the other locations. This is the original, and the quality remains very good!

Always lots of vegetarian choices, and at least 2 chicken pizzas! I usually get 4 slices to go, all different! Makes for 4 meals with variety!
My personal favourite is the spicy mushroom — they use *whole* marinated mushrooms!
I used to go to Pizza Garden, but they changed owners and no longer offer the quality pizza I once knew. So for the past few years, it’s been a family affair — Uncle Fatih all the way!
The only bad thing I have to say is once in two years I got a slice of cheese & pesto pizza, and it was so old that it was like chewing cardboard. But once in 2 years? Meh!
Try it today! Broadway & Commercial location is the best!

Fresh made pizzzah, cheap but tastes great.
Good location and if they don’t have the kind your looking for, it is probably on it way to the oven. Great for a quick bite.

Let’s get this straight, Uncle Fatih’s is a Vancouver institution that has been made locally famous by high school kids and drunk adults alike. Before their expansion, this specific spot was the be all end all for cheap sliced pizza as they were one of the first to offer fresh and delicious toppings along with great dough without charging an arm and a leg for the product. Ever since the expansion, there have been a lot more options open up around the area which has made this spot a little less «special»? but that doesn’t mean the pizza has changed much at all.
I will always remember the first day I tried this spot when I was 16 and in high school. The montessori kids wouldn’t shut up about the life changing experience of eating a slice of potato Uncle Fatihs pizza, so I went one day just so they’d…well …shut up haha and it was truly life changing at the time.
It’s crazy how many people know this place when the name is brought up and how many stories you’ll hear from your friends over time about how they were drunk one night and passed out in front of the door, only to be waken up by a group of ten people trying to open the door and having it hit their head multiple times (wait.that has only happened to me?!) People write English papers on this place and it even has a framed poem on the wall from a guy who seems to be in love with this place, I doubt you’ll find that at many other places ANYWHERE!
In the end, Fatih’s will always be a spot to get a delicious cheap slice of pizza at 1am in the morning before heading home to sleep or play video games :)
FAVE SLICE: Hawaiian straight out of the heater! MMMM!!!

⁴⁄₅ when I’m hungry and sober, ⁵⁄₅ when I need to throw a blanket on some pints. Either way, for under $ 5 this place always satisfies.
It’s pizza by the slice, not a trendy woodfire place — know that going in and you’ll probably leave happy. I think it’s the best «by the slice» joint in the area, but I’m sure there could be some super boring debate over that.

I come here alot when I have the munchies and happen to be driving by, usually to go to Winners or Whole Foods. It’s always good, cheap and crispy.
It’s not meant to be gourmet, so you can’t expect too much. But it’s still better than alot of other ones I have had, and much better than any of those pizza by the slice places. Just found out that they do delivery too.
You really can’t go wrong with this place if you’re wanting to grab a quick nibble. I would recommend it.

I came here because I was in the neighborhood, hungry and tired.
I had a slice of vegetarian pizza which had toppings such as eggplant, diced red and yellow peppers, onions, and white sesame seeds. They pizzas behind the glass display looked stale and cold. I asked mine to be warmed up to extra crispy.
After less than 1 minute my pizza was handed to me. It was luke-​warm and not very crispy. The pizza crust was dough-​y. It wasn’t so bad to the point I was eating cardboard but it was getting there. $ 2.00 for my slice.
Aside from the mediocre food I did enjoy sitting outside sucking in all the carbon dioxide from the busy Commercial-​Broadway intersection.

I love pizza.
I’m disliking a whole lot the cheap pizza that Vancity is known for these days.
My hommie Mark H. loves the Fatih’s (I know it looks so much like Faith’s but it’s Fatih’s
Yeah

Love it or hate it, Vancouverites tend to have a passionate argument one way or the other for Uncle Fatih’s. How this humble little spot got such a cult following, i’ll never know — though if memory serves me (and trust me, most times Fatih’s made a cameo, the memories have been a bit fuzzy), I dare say that much of the love comes from the fact it’s open late.
But is it great pizza?
I recently had the rare opportunity to nab some Fatih’s when I was neither intoxicated or hung over — on our way to a show and with very little fuel, we popped in here for a quickie and surprisingly, it didn’t live up to the OMG that it induces when in the two states mentioned above.
What this is, is a good selection of good pizza at a good price.
It’s not rocket science. It’s nothing to write home about. It’s decent pizza.
So unlike the passionate masses, I find myself as the Switzerland of Fatih’s: decidedly neutral.
