Aardvark Pizza & Sub

About Aardvark Pizza & Sub

Go here when you want fast food that doesn't taste like an afterthought. Aardvark serves legitimately good pizza and subs from a cramped storefront on Caribou Street, and locals keep coming back because the quality stays consistent. You're not paying for atmosphere or table service—you're paying for food that tastes like someone actually cares about it.

Order the pizza if you have time to eat in or take it back to your accommodation. The subs move faster and work well if you're fueling up before a hike or heading out for the day. Keep your order simple and straightforward. The kitchen handles high volume during peak season, so expect longer waits in July and August when tour groups descend on Banff.

This is takeout food in a takeout space, so manage your expectations accordingly. The trade-off is speed and simplicity over dining experience, which is exactly what makes it useful. Come here between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for lunch, or aim for the quieter 5 p.m. slot if you're avoiding crowds. It's perfect for backcountry prepping or post-hike refueling without dropping your wallet at a sit-down restaurant.
