About Vancouver Pizza Kitchen
Feeding a table without cooking is the whole point of a pizza order, and the kitchens that do it well are the ones that can hold a Friday night together. Vancouver Pizza Kitchen takes its address on the main north to south run through Rutland, at 225 Rutland Road South, sharing the building with one other business.
Two things are worth sorting out before you order. The first is timing, since weekend evenings are the pinch point for every pizza kitchen and a call placed an hour early beats one placed when you are already hungry. The second is delivery, because Kelowna is a wide city and the edge of a delivery area rarely matches the edge of a neighbourhood, so it is fair to ask whether they come as far as Black Mountain or the Mission. If your table has to work around gluten, dairy or meat, ask what the kitchen can do rather than assuming, and ask about pan sizes when you are ordering for a crowd. The number is 250-765-0666 and vanpizzakitchen.com is there too.
Rutland is one of the largest residential areas in Kelowna, with a town centre strip of its own and a good share of the valley's more affordable housing, which is exactly the sort of place a neighbourhood kitchen serves. Rutland Road South stays busy through the day, and parking around here is generally at the back or along the side of the buildings. The drive downtown takes a while at the wrong hour, which is part of why so much of Rutland's eating out happens within its own few blocks.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
