Looks like Robson Street’s pizza shuffle continues!
Just three months after a short-lived pizzeria shuttered along the busy shopping strip, a new pizza name is moving in, and it may be a familiar one to many locals.
We recently spotted signage for Napoletana Pizza going up at the former Tiko Pizza unit, marking the third location for the family-run business that’s been slinging pies since 2002.
A longtime staple in Kitsilano, Napoletana Pizza has spent over two decades building up a reputation for Neapolitan-style pizza done with heart and heritage.
In October 2024, they expanded east to Fraser Street, and now they’re going full downtown with a prime location right in the heart of Robson.
This upcoming Robson Street location aims to be more than just another pizza spot.
According to signage and their Instagram, this outpost is embracing the Italian concept of “Tavola Calda,” which literally translates to “hot table.”
Traditionally found throughout Italy, a Tavola Calda is where you can find ready-to-eat comfort foods.
Think pre-made pizza by the slice, roasted meats, paninis, pasta dishes, and more, served all day.
So while you can expect their signature Malagutti Napoli brick oven pizza and handmade pasta, this new location might offer a slightly more casual, grab-and-go setup that fits the Robson crowd.
The sign also emphasizes a commitment to craft, highlighting their made-daily dough, quality ingredients, and friendly service.
There’s no official opening date just yet, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled.
Napoletana Pizza now joins other highly anticipated Vancouver food openings like Daan Go Vancouver, Kavita, and UCHU.
