Coco Brooks Produces One-Person Pizzas that Feed Two

It’s been more than 20 years since I discovered Coco Brooks, the little personal pizza-in-a-box joint in southeast Calgary. Each time I go (about every two years), I order the same thing: a marvelously fluffy egg ‘n bacon pie hot from the oven. Trust me, it works.

The only problem, for the purpose of this under-$10 survey, is the price has glided up from $9 three years ago to $10.70 today. Still, a bargain for four thick slices that can easily keep me going for two meals.

There is a solution—a short list of simpler pizzas, including peperoni and “cheese burger”, for only $8.80. But when I get to the counter, I break down and, once again, order the egg ‘n bacon. Rules be damned.

A no-frills, efficient operation
