Client news - Pizzeria Spacca Napoli turns 10.
Spacca is celebrating a decade of wood-fired, Naples-trained craft in Port Moody this April, and they’re marking it with a few things worth knowing about all month long.
- A new pizzaioli joins the team straight from Naples!
- Friday Late Night Happy Hour - 25% off everything, 9pm to close
- Buy a bottle of wine, get a pizza - Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 4pm to 6pm
Both Happy Hours take reservations for the first time via “Anniversary Exclusives” at pizzeriaspaccanapoli.com

Still the only Canadian pizzeria ever to hold the prestigious 3 Spicchi ranking by Gambero Rosso. Which means insanely good pizza made with love and care, the old-fashioned way.
Congratulations to Danny, Davide, Vita and the whole team for a remarkable accomplishment. Ten years of doing it properly.

Here we are friends. It’s holiday time, and we are excited to share Hatch’s 2025 Holiday Gift Guide. Each year we pull together a thoughtful list that reflects meaningful work across our client community, along with the places, makers, and producers that inspire us. This year’s guide is rooted in the values that shape Hatch throughout the year, telling great stories, a passionate commitment to local, a love of food and wine, a belief in memorable travel, and a desire to celebrate the people elevating the flavour of British Columbia and Canada on the world stage.

Before diving into the picks, the guide also offers a quick look back at the year that was for the Hatch team. From major tourism and culinary campaigns across the province, to winery launches and award winning storytelling, to on-the-ground support for the G7 Global Summit and continued leadership in sustainable seafood and local food systems, 2025 was a full and far reaching year. The Gift Guide is our way of closing the season with gratitude and with a spotlight on the people and projects we are proud to stand behind.
