We drove in from Vancouver and were looking for dinner. We were worried that we wouldn't find great…read morepizza. We asked a couple locals where they ate pizza, and they suggested the other place that rhymes with bilanders bizza. We called Mr. J's Pizza because it was closer to our hotel, and chose it on a whim. When I drove up to the restaurant, I thought it was a crack shack. It even had a crummy patio set in front - in the middle of winter. I met Mr. J in the flesh - a friendly face who during conversation, admitted that part of his restaurant's signature flair was the hole-in-the-wall feel. His own words were "slum-like." But let that not dissuade you. Upon arriving at our hotel room, the first bite was pure bliss. The pizza had all the best features of some of our favourite Vancouver pizza joints. I kid you not, we noted it's worth visiting Courteney just for the pizza. Mind you, we came here only to find a deal on a used car, so we're probably not the best ones to trust. No... We are... This pizza is awesome. I wish I hadn't eaten my half so quickly :(

Been wanting to try this place for a while and tonight placed an order for pick up. Staff on phone…read morevery pleasant and helpful. Ordered the Funghi and the Amatriciana pizzas. Tried to order the chopped salad but they were out of it. The panzanella salad was suggested to me so I said ok great, even though it's not the right time of year for that salad. Pickup was seamless. Got the food home and pizza was good, tasty. The mushroom pie was great, couldn't really taste the onion base but it was good. Liked the cheeses. Crust crispy, no soggy bottom here! The second pizza was the hit, fennel sausage really makes it. The salad was lacking. Dressing was good but the lettuce was wilty and toppings were few ( Kalamata olives sliced in half and cherry tomatoes in halves) no bread/croutons at all so not sure what made it panzanella? Not cheap either. Anyway, my dinner mates said the pizza is better in the restaurant so next time I'll give that a go.

The best part of the pizza here was the dough, light and crisp. Considering it's a bakery that's to…read morebe expected. The place charges and presents itself as a gourmet pizzeria, so I had high expectations. But when I saw the pesto being used coming from a Costco jar and other ingredients out of zip locks, presumably also from Costco I was quite disappointed, offended even considering the price and pretence of gourmet. Aside from the dough and cooking technique, I could put those combinations together myself with my Costco pantry items... The pizzas did come out very cheesey and filled the hole. Oh and 3 out of the 6 listed on tap craft brews were out. The only reason I'm not going with 2 stars is mostly due to the small nature of the business. I'm sure if you're looking for a bakery item or bread specifically, this would be fine. On a holiday with limited meal times I'm disappointed I didn't go next door...

The website does pop-up a window saying your order has been placed and it is a 40min wait. This is not the case. It does not say a confirmation email will be sent. I called their customer service to ask the status of my pizza, of course none had been ordered to my chagrin, so I advised them that there was no email sent and how was I to know there would be one, especially after there was a pop-up telling me the order was completed. The customer service was not a customer service, nor would they admit any wrong doing. DON'T USE THE WEBSITE!! I'll use another pizza service, I did not like the attitude.

Since Panago has been around forever and has numerous locations I have had it at least a few times…read morefrom different places. My experience this time was a disappointment as my gluten free veggie with salami was not made to the standard expected. It wasn't cooked enough. Understandably, the gluten free crust is likely frozen and not hand tossed but it should have been reheated properly. There were no mushrooms on the pizza despite being indicated on the list of toppings. The rest of the veggies were scarce (in some cases only one pineapple tidbit or tomato chunk per slice) and the onions/peppers were not heated long enough, a consequence of not reheating the crust enough. The cheese was a pathetic smattering, barely any with almost none on the corner pieces (their gluten free crusts are square). Considering your only gluten free option is a medium at a $4 additional cost, paying $25 for a mediocre pizza was not money well spent. The rest of the family was satisfied with other the pizzas ordered: regular crust New York deli and deluxe, both had waaay more cheese and proper toppings. Not sure how they went so wrong with the gluten free pizza.

I will see about 8 wings and a soda water cost me almost $30 so I won't be back any time soon but the wings were baked perfectly and the hot sauce was truly a medium!

I'm a bit of a creature of habit and I generally go for a dark beer but they've been out of my favourite Nitro for a while but I've found options. The fries are lovely and crispy and always hot. We usually get two tacos to share between three of us - beef brisket and beef barria I think it's called. They are completely different taste profiles and the accompanying sauces are delish. It's basically on an outdoor patio that's been screened in with plastic with lovely space heaters that keep everyone warm. There are a few seats inside as well but I've never been there. The ambiance is lovely - it's always buzzing with people coming and going and it's often a bit of a wait for a seat but once sitting down you aren't disturbed except with the lovely staff delivering food. Every staff person I've encountered has been friendly and while super busy seem to really enjoy being there. Wide variety of people too - people from the ski hill, pre theatre people, after work people. And the best part? Dogs are allowed!!
