Boston Pizza

It’s daaaaaate night! Dress up, go out to eat and then to indigo for some intellectualism. But it’s a review about Boston Pizza… Not my date night.
Boston Pizza is well know for its sports bar theme of hockey and football. Large televisions and large selections of zaaaaaaah. Personally I don’t like pizza overly, so I got a Montréal smoked meat sandwich. It was great. Not out of Montréal, but it was what I expected from BP. The service was on par with my expectations. Place was clean and we overly enjoyed ourselves. Then came the dessert. My oh my. It was, without a shadow of a doubt the best warm ooouy goooy warm chocolatie fudgy chocolate chip cookie, oven fresh topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and chocolate sauce… It was heaven. I don’t have any other way to describe it, you just need to get one for yourself

service is very poor. I went on pasta tuesday. when my meal came it didn’t have garlic bread the waitress said she would bring me some. I was done my meal when the garlic bread arrived.

Have eaten at this location several times, although mainly over a decade ago. But came back again on a recent Tuesday evening during a Jays playoff game, as we are limited in the Clayton Park/​Bayers Lake area to find places to watch the game and have more than just pub food. The lounge side when you walk in the door was about half full when we arrived, just at the bottom of the 1^st. There are probably a dozen tables in this section, and it was full by the time the game ended. The other side of the restaurant is more a family dining experience, without the TVs and sports memorabilia, but just as big in size. Friendly staff. Service was a bit slow this night though, as there seemed to be only two servers on the floor of our side. It was wine Tuesday so I had a few 6 oz glasses of $ 6 Copper Moon pinot grigio, but it took about 10 minutes to get each glass. As my meal, I tried the Baked Seven Cheese Ravioli («ravioli stuffed with Parmesan, Emmental, ricotta, fontina and Romano with your choice of our beefy Bolognese or signature marinara sauce, finished with pizza mozzarella and cheddar, then baked to perfection» 15.95) which was very cheesy, hot and a good portion size. I requested their Fifty/​50 rose sauce instead, which was not a problem. Nothing overly special about it, but tasty enough and no complaints. My partner had the Chipotle Chicken Club («BP’s take on a classic. A juicy chargrilled chicken breast, crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, lettuce and tangy chipotle Caesar sauce piled between two pieces of our signature pizza bread» 13.95). and it looked very fresh. He liked, with a side Caesar. Surprisingly, after the pasta, I wasn’t too full so opted for the Panookie dessert («Baked to perfection! A giant, freshly baked, pizza-​pan chocolate chip cookie served with vanilla bean ice cream and drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauces. Due to the nature of this item, we recommend it be enjoyed in the restaurant and do not offer it for Take-​out or Delivery» but I don’t see the price online, nor remember it/​guessing around $ 8). It was very good and exactly what you’d expect, although I did become very full while eating it so couldn’t finish the full thing. Although I’m not a lover of chain restaurants, I’d go back here if someone else wanted to. There are several vegetarian options on the menu that look decent to me, but I especially want to try some of their frozen cocktails again, like I used to enjoy years ago. The red, white & blue rocket looks to DIE for.

We decide to eat at Boston Pizza. We arrive around 7:30 pm. When we entered the place there was no one out front, we wanted 5 mins before someone arrived to seat us.
We are server was friendly. She told us about the chicken wings. My wife said she does not like hot wings so we ordered mild.
Well the wings were hot and spicy. She then said all the wings have alittle heat. She replaced then with honey garlic, mine while our mouths were burning. The honey garlic wings were good. My wife order a med pizza and salad and I ordered medium rare steak and pasta. The pizza was good but very pricey. My pasta was good, but my steak. Came well done. The second steak was prefect. Over all the serve was great and once they corrected the food it was good.
I would go back.

Congratulations to Boston Pizza in Bayers Lake for their great employees and tasty food. Tonite our server was Lawren who was excellent but that has been the level of service we’ve encountered on our other visits. Good job guys!

Good food, even when its take out. Expensive for take out, but consistently good. Great dine-​in experience. Cold beer and great burgers. I had a BBQ burger with cactus cut fries which was fantastic.

Waited about a half an hour for a table on Friday night, server was very friendly, food was alright. Definitely recommend!

i wont say its bad but not excellent either! its nice for big groups and the food is good! but everytime we go the price changes!!! we started with almost $ 70 and now it became $ 110 and by ordering the same things as always not adding anything!

I’ve been here a few times. It isn’t terrible but I haven’t been wowed either. It’s a big chain restaurant and the servers act as such. The food is always good though! I especially seek out BP for their Spicy Pierogi Pizza! It’s my fave — so unique and I can only get it here, I will always come back for it. I try other things but I’m addicted to it.

while visiting the bayers lake boston pizza location I got 3 different servers. They were friendly and all too, so that was ok. The order was long to get… about 25 minutes. And the restaurant was not busy. Out of the 4 orders at my table I was the last to vet my meal, potato skins. They messed up my order and blamed it on the cook not seeing the order correctly. So they took it back and said it would be 5 minutes. 10 minutes later the corre t order arrives. But now they are cold in multiple spots. So waiter came back to check on my table and was told they were cold. They took them back and I assume nuked them for a minute. Not impressed even though the manager said there will be no charge for them. The rest of my table was done eating and I was just starting… This was my third time here in a year and always had a problem with the food temperature or incorrect order. I will have to strongly think about any return visit. you

I ordered the pulled pork pasta, and the dish was served cold.
The waitress didn’t come back to see how our meal was, so I had to flag down the bus staff a couple tables over.
After re-​heating my food, the waitress and/​or manager explained that when they take the pre-​cooked pasta out of the fridge, they mix it in with the sauce and heat it all together. Sorry, what? You pre-​cook the pasta? So the food isn’t even made to order, minus a star. The waitress also mentioned this isn’t the first time that’s happened to her, picking up a dish from the kitchen, and finding out it’s been served cold.
It sounds like they have some problems with the kitchen staff there.
Then the pork had this slimy texture that I was unsure of while eating it.
Well after I was sent running to the bathroom about an hour after I left, I seriously suspect it was from undercooked pork.
The manager did comp the plate, which was good of her. But it seems like there are bigger problems in the kitchen here.

Visited in late November 2013 with a large (20+) group for lunch. First off, our waitress was a delight. Cheerful, quick, efficient and helpful, all orders were spot on and overall service was slick. I had a pint of Rickard’s Red and chose the full sized jambalaya fettuccine (they also do lunch sized portions of their entrées in combo’s). Both were fine, no complaints on quality, though my «pint» looked an ounce or so short. I was also disappointed that in a city with at least half a dozen very fine small breweries, the only «local» beer was the dreadful Keith’s «IPA». However, the prices are not good. $ 8 for a pint? $ 17.25 for a plate of spaghetti and a few shrimp with sausage? I’m sorry, but we are talking a mark up at least a third over anything approaching good value. One of my colleagues was spitting teeth at being charged nine bucks for a pint of stout and I was in full agreement. In short, if money’s no object or you order from the pauper’s menu (such as avoiding alcohol), the quality and service will convince you that you’ve done well. However, my «poor value» meter went off the clock. I won’t be back.

Every time I have been to BP it has been consistently blah. The food always tastes like it’s been reheated from a frozen state. The last time I was there the patties in the sliders had such a weird taste I removed them and just ate the bun with the veggies.
I get that they are a big chain and the food can’t be made to order, but at least places like Jack Astor’s make an effort, with the never frozen chicken nuggets, etc.

Not bad, Boston Pizza. Not bad!
It’s been a while since I’ve been to Boston Pizza, and I have to say that it appears they’ve upped their game. The service was great. Our food was excellent, grilled chicken pesto burger with a salad, and everything came pretty quickly. The prices weren’t has high as I remembered, and overall it was a nice dinner with a good friend.

Meh. Probably won’t be going back.

Jim Treliving. you rich, rich, smart, rich man you.
From it’s humble beginning’s in Edmonton, to now. Boston Pizza has become a staple spot to watch sports, or to have a great meal anytime.
Love the sports bar, and all of the jerseys and photos that adorn the walls.
Always stick with the Boston Cheesesteak sandwich. sans the Au Jus (who wants liquid salt on their sandwich). a delicious treat, always cooked to perfection. Bottomless pop to wash it all down. and a staff that is willing to keep the bottom. less.
Love what Boston Pizza brings to the table… if only they could lower the prices now.

I don’t go to Boston Pizza often, I find it a bit pricey and having 2 young kids I just don’t go much. But when they have the deal going on that if you donate $ 5 to this charity I believe it is, you get a card for 5 free kids meals. Well the only catch is you have to spend $ 12 or more per kids meal you would get free. But I would usually go with someone and then get both my kids meals free. Honestly I end up spending money there only because my kids both eat free, but to spend under $ 20 for a delicious meal for me, they get to choose whatever they want, and get a dessert, honestly I can’t complain, you can’t even eat at Mcdonalds for that cheap (especially where my 6 year old eats a ton)
So I guess I do enjoy going here, but will only go when I have the free kids meals.
I have always had good service, friendly waitresses. Only once I had an issue with the pizza we ordered not tasting very fresh, and the waitress immediately had them make us a new one, no questions asked.

I’m not really one for huge chains, and if I do grab grub from one it’s usually out of starvation. This time was no exception, ended a 16 hour shift and wanted some chews and a cold Stella– the issue was I was in NO mood for a drunk bar crowd nor did I fancy changing out of an ancient t-​shirt. Enter Boston Pizza. We sat down, and I was promptly served a GINORMOUS Stella. To my pleasure it was only a few people sitting down and taking it easy.
I ordered the wings and my lady had the French Onion Soup. I’ll admit the wings were way better than I had ever imagined– I was prepared for the over deep fried meatless type. The soup, according to Vanessa, was good. Different though, had a huge roll in it. She wouldn’t reorder it, but didn’t send it back.
In short, it’s a good place to have some wings and beer and then head home!

Every once in a blue moon Mike and I will try to find a decent place to eat in «the Park,» which isn’t easy when you’re faced with places like East Side Mario’s and Montana’s, two places we’ve sworn off due to awful food. Boston Pizza, however, is a pretty good restaurant.
We’ve always found the service very good and friendly. On our most recent visit I believe we had four different servers; we never knew who would be serving us next. That’s not a complaint, it was pretty interesting! I admit that the service is a bit slow, but that could be the kitchen trying to give the impression they’re actually cooking from scratch (hah).
We started with the pizza bread without cheese (for lactose-​intolerant me). It’s still very tasty without it. I had the spaghetti and meatballs, and Mike had seafood fettuccine. Both were HUGE and provided us with lunch for the next day. Both were also very good.
The prices have been creeping up, so it’s not a place we visit often. If I’m going to be paying $ 50 for two people (with no dessert), I’d rather keep driving and go to Il Mercato.

The Boston Pizza at Chain Lake kind of reminds you of a prom date with the head cheerleader — so much promise, but falls flat in the end.
I went to this location with a buddy of mine last month in the hopes that it would be better than my last trip there a couple of months earlier.
Nothing really changed in this visit, the servers were friendly enough; however, it was one server for the order, one for the drinks, one for the food, and another for a refill. I ordered a salad with my spaghetti and it was average at best; in addition, it was a poor return for the price at almost $ 20.
My friend had to return his food and then waited another 25 minutes for a new plate of food and this didn’t turn out much better for him.
I much prefer the downtown location and will not go back to the Chain Lake restaurant.
