Mount Pleasant
Ignite began in 2017, when Umut Turnali and Cihan Yanar opened the very first oven on Main Street in Mount Pleasant — just off Broadway, in a residential pocket outside the downtown core. It was built on one shared belief: great pizza should be for everyone. A modern, minimalist room made equally for an everyday slice or a full sit-down meal, this flagship laid the foundation for everything that followed.
Gastown
Just months later, Ignite brought its second location downtown. Steps from Waterfront Station, Gastown introduced a faster, express-style experience: the same handcrafted pizza and patient process, served by the slice for a neighbourhood always on the move.
Yaletown
In spring 2022, Ignite found a new home beside Yaletown Park. With a full bar, generous dining room and sunny south-facing patio, it became a place to slow down, settle in and share great pizza with good company.
South Surrey
Ignite travelled beyond Vancouver in fall 2024, opening its largest restaurant in Morgan Crossing. With more room around the table and an expanded menu of pastas and sharing plates, South Surrey marked the beginning of Ignite’s evolution into a neighbourhood kitchen.
Lower Lonsdale (North Vancouver)
In September 2026, Ignite crossed the harbour to open its fifth location in Lower Lonsdale. Steps from the SeaBus, our first North Shore restaurant serves stone-fired pizza alongside signature pastas, fresh salads and appetisers—all guided by the belief that great food should be for everyone.
