Our customer service sets us apart from others. We know how important it is to provide a safe and clean environment, especially now, and great customer service for the incredible people of Red Deer. We want to ensure the most reliable and safe delivery of our quality pizza and more!

We are also proud to offer an array of products for those with dietary restrictions including Gluten Free and Vegan.
Why did you choose Downtown Red Deer as the location for your business?
When we joined the downtown in 1990, we wanted to be centrally located to make it easy for delivery to the people of Red Deer, but also in the center where we could connect with the fantastic businesses of downtown.
What do you think makes Downtown vibrant?
Through this hard time, the innovations, the energy and the engagement of the local community and businesses have kept the Downtown vibrant this past year. It’s been incredible to see how everyone has pulled together and worked hard to support local businesses.
I love Downtown Red Deer because…
In addition to having the best pizza place in town, it’s the local business owners whose resilience is inspiring and the phenomenal people that support the community and the local businesses Downtown.

Council approves 2024 DBA budget, increased investment in events
“The DBA remains steadfast in its objective to build on the growth seen in 2023. The collaboration between The City of Red and the DBA is at all time high and with the pending actions set to be delivered through the Downtown Activation Playbook, I know there are many great things to come that will support our business community and create the thriving downtown we all want to experience,” said Amanda Gould, DBA Executive Director.
“Today Council demonstrated their commitment to their strategic priorities with the support shown to the DBA through unanimous support of the 2024 budget. This mighty Association continues to do great work on a shoestring budget and the 2024 Board of Directors are keen to lend their expertise and entrepreneurial skills to benefit the downtown in its entirety.”
Brandon Bouchard, DBA Board Chair
The DBA’s budget is partially funded through the BIA tax levy, which is collected by The City of Red Deer. Each year, the DBA presents its proposed budget to Council for their consideration. When reviewing the budget, Council considers alignment between the DBA’s downtown priorities and City’s community priorities.
“DBA has constantly hit far above its weight in our downtown, I can’t think of a more supportive messenger of promotion than the team at the DBA, it’s so encouraging to see this strong support for our downtown,” said Mayor Ken Johnston. “I’m encouraged by the leadership and direction of the DBA and look forward to what they have in store for 2024. They continually bring positive initiatives to the downtown even with the constraint on finances.”
The DBA’s total approved budget for 2024 is $775,160, with $277,725 funded through the BIA with the remaining amount funded through items such as grants and contracts. The BIA portion for 2024 is an increase of five per cent from 2023.
The Downtown Business Association has been operating in Red Deer for more than 30 years, serving approximately 350 business owners in the Downtown area. Through partnerships and leadership in advocacy and promotion, the DBA is the catalyst for a vibrant and prosperous downtown that is the place to live, work, play and do business.
