3 pizzerias make outdoor dining list

Canada – Restaurant reservations company OpenTable recently announced the 100 Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants in Canada for 2017.

Three pizzerias made the list: Bella Gelateria & Pizzeria in Vancouver, Corrientes Argentine Pizzeria in Winnipeg and Pizzeria Gusto, also in Winnipeg.

These awards reflect the combined opinions of more than 515,000 restaurant reviews submitted by verified OpenTable diners for more than 2,000 restaurants in Canada, OpenTable said in a news release. Ontario has the greatest number of restaurants featured with 44, followed by British Columbia with 27 and Alberta with 16. Quebec has eight restaurants recognized, while Manitoba has five. Nova Scotia is also represented on this list.

The 100 Best Outdoor Dining Restaurants list is generated solely from more than 515,000 restaurant reviews collected from verified OpenTable diners between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2017. All restaurants with a minimum “overall” score and number of qualifying reviews were included for consideration. Qualifying restaurants were then scored and sorted according to the percentage of reviews for which “great for outdoor dining” was selected as a special feature.
