Boston Pizza offers a casual dining atmosphere with over 100 menu items including a selection of pizzas, pastas and a wide variety of appetizers, meal-sized salads, entrees and desserts. The restaurant also has plenty of big screen TVs to catch the big game.
This is a newer Boston Pizza alongside this newly developed area. It was game night and tough to find a place.
It's a BP so you know what to expect with the ambiance and food. They do wings and pizza pretty well so we went with various quantities of jerk and honey garlic. Of all their flavour choices the jerk was rather timid and was disappointing. The honey garlic was just that, honey garlic. Aside from that, the wings were juicy and obviously made to order. We finished off with a slice of their mud pie. The price was a little steep for what you get but luckily it doesn't hurt the teeth, as what we would've expected from the picture in the menu.
Our server was on the ball and again, what you'd expect from any chain restaurant. The hostess was able to get us to a table right in front of a tv despite the crowd.
No surprises here.
I've been to Boston Pizza every now & then, at different locations across B.C...always with the same result.
The location is always good, plenty of parking, restaurant has a nice layout. The service is even great.
Only thing missing here...is great food!!
Alas, tonight my partner & I decided to go here. My partner had the Mushroom Swiss Burger, I had the Jambalaya Fettuccini.
Honestly, the pasta tastes like something you would get from a grocery store Sidekicks package. The seafood (which I am guessing is the "Jambalaya") was pretty weak & flavorless, while the "spicy Italian sausage" tastes like spicy cheap sausage.
I cannot give a full review of the Mushroom Swiss Burger (as I didn't order it) but I did have a bite & sad to say, it tasted very bland, flavorless & cheap. I'm no chef, but I've made better burgers at home!!
Here you've got a nice environment, and the service was GREAT (from the moment we walked in, until the moment we left...but the food, not so great.
Pretty standard food, pizza, burgers, ribs, the usual stuff from a chain restaurant. We patronized this location out of convenience prior to a Walmart run. The restaurant was about 1/3 full so it wasn't a bad turnout rate for a Wednesday evening.
Food: We ordered two individual sized pizzas and split an onion soup and Thai chicken bites. The onion soup was likely pre-made and all they had to do was bake it in the oven. Taste was akin to beef broth with some sherry. Chicken bites were sliced friend chicken fillets over a bed of humdrum crispy noodles. The pizzas were good, but not spectacular. They were too skimpy on the toppings where the topping area only composed about 60% of the total surface area. Do not recommend the Cajun shrimp pizza - very bland tasting and lacking in mozzarella. The Tuscan specialty pizza was much more flavourful.
Service: Server was attentive and competent, however it took about 30 minutes for the appies to arrive. Service is decent for what we come to expect from servers that work in franchises or chain establishments. I don't understand why food takes so long when it's simply reheated, prepped together or thrown into an oven. I wouldn't be surprised if the mass produced food is also served at large institutional cafeterias.
Value: It wasn't an expensive meal at all, but there wasn't sufficient value or "wow" factor for me to return. $45 for two of us.
Ambiance: comfortable banquettes and sturdy tables in the dining area. The sports side had a nice bar and furnished with high tables/chairs. The restaurant layout was pretty nice and considering that it's only 4-5 months old, the place looks very new and fresh. The color scheme is similar to other BP - the autumn themed colour scheme. Lots of flat screen TV's at various corners so awesome place for the sports junkie to catch the game. Crowd was mostly young families and small groups of 20 somethings.
Recommended for drinks/appies to catch your favourite sports game...not so much for good food.
After shopping at the Wal-mart on grandview, we decided to try the new Boston Pizza in the area. A brand new restaurant with great food and wonderful staff. We ordered our favorite potatoe skins, over-roasted honey garlic chicken wings, and hawaiian pizza.
Our waitress was courteous and friendly, making sure all of our food was perfect. Since our first visit, we have returned again with the same outstanding service and great food.
