Meet the owner

Mehdi Rashidian was destined to serve pizza. When he and his family moved to Calgary from Iran in 1989, the former pharmaceutical sales and marketing manager’s first job was delivering pizzas. He then tried his hand at everything from auto repair and dishwashing to carpentry and bus driving before he opened his first Domino’s Pizza franchise. Eventually, he owned six, but wanted a place to call his own. In 2010, he and his wife Sarah Javaheri launched Shiraz, one of Calgary’s very few Persian and halal restaurants.

Adventurous pizza places in Calgary

Shiraz Persian Cuisine’s Mehdi Rashidian has created his own unique pizzas, and they’re the only non-traditional Persian dish on the Centre Street Northeast restaurant’s menu. These 14 Persian pies are topped with saffron rice and various combinations of ingredients. The saffron chicken breast pizza won top honours at Pizza Pigout, an annual citywide pizza contest and fundraiser. The kashk-e-bademjon (eggplant dip) pizza is also a big hit.
