What Is Regina Pizza? It’s Greek, Good and Gets Under the Crust of Rider Rivals
Greek immigrant brothers created the square-sliced pie to stand apart from thinner-crust pizzas, and local shops now ship hundreds frozen each week.
- The Blue Bombers recently mocked Regina-style pizza on social media ahead of Sunday's Labour Day weekend clash between the Winnipeg team and the Saskatchewan Roughriders in Regina.
- In 1970, Greek immigrant brothers George, Gus, John, and Tony Kolitsas opened Houston Pizza on Hill Avenue, establishing the Regina-style pie as a local staple that endured for half a century.
- Western Pizza president Spiro Bonis attributes the pizza's thickness to Greek culture and Saskatchewan's agricultural roots, stating, "You need hearty meals, you need to keep everybody warm and fed."
- Saskatchewan Roughriders head coach Corey Mace dismissed the criticism, asking, "I don't know how you hate a pizza," while Tumblers Pizza owner Jim Baiton called it a "cheesy goodwill ambassador."
- Tourism Regina recently launched merchandise featuring the four-sided slice, with director Teale Orban noting the pizza is a "natural fit" for the city's brand as the delicacy scales up.
