Stopped in near closing time on Saturday night...it was was very busy with Skip orders and take out pick ups but I also wanted to do a walk up takeout order. The owner Preet Paul was there working with his staff, and although I could clearly tell he was very busy, he was also very helpful and friendly to fit my order in before they closed!!...and lasagna was excellent! Thanks Preet for an awesome job on my last minute order! It was so tasty and hot when I got it home! I most definitely will be ordering again from your restaurant!! Love your restaurant on Hastings St! read more

Super generous toppings, good thin crust. Not bad for a local pizza joint! Deep dish style, similar to Chicago but crust could been crispier. They don't open too early so don't bother trying to order anything until well past 5pm read more

Hot Spot pizza - Pizza Near Me - Burnaby, British Columbia

I ordered the Ring of Fire Pizza and House Special Pizza through uber eats. They were pretty good! A bit on the smaller and expensive side, but I'd order from them again. Both were fresh and hot when I got them :) read more

Not your average-joe pizza. Deep dish, with overloading flavors :) not for your thin crust pizza lovers.. its like a lasagna packed pizza! two layers! double the flavor, double the joy!! a little bit on the pricier side.. which is the only thing that partially parts you from over dosing in calories :) read more

We were pretty disappointed when Romana Pizza in N. Burnaby closed. I think Hot Spot pizza is better. We order the Hawaiian Supreme w/out mushrooms, and it is excellent. They will make it thick or thin crust. They're always on time. The make it to order and don't make mistakes. The tomato sauce is excellent and the pizza is always delicious. read more

This place used to be awesome, now it's still good but they aren't at the same level. I used to love the glazed crust but they stopped doing that. The menu needs an update. Do people actually buy the spam or hot dog ones? How about a seafood? I'd order that every week. Id say keep the ones that sell and update the rest. Anyway, still good but not legendary as it used to be. Edit...maybe have glazed crust optional? I know people who love it (like me) but i see some people think it's weird. read more

If you like deep dish pizza this is the place to go. Their pizza is amazing and they never disapoint me whenever i order from here. I highly recommend if you want a very filling fully loaded pizza. read more

Thanks for saving me yet again after a long day at work and no desire to cook! We've had the Carnivore, Canuck, Baked Lasagna with Meatballs and the Jalapeno Poppers (they are awesomely hoooooooooottt!) Tonight we ordered our favourite - the Hot Oven Select. It's stuffed - trust me, order it. Staff has been friendly when I've called to order, gone in to pick up and delivery has been quick. While they tell you the usual "45 minutes to 1 hour" for delivery, I've waited tops 40 minutes. I don't find the prices to be high, the ingredients taste fresh and there's so much, I'll pay for that. read more

I read some of the reviews for this restaurant and I simply can't understand them. First of all, this place is family owned. The staff have not changed since it opened. The guy who answers the phone is the guy that brings your order and is possibly the owner. I didn't get a chance to speak to him myself, but I over heard him speaking and he was extremely courteous. The food is simply amazing. I don't eat bread, so we ordered the following: Sweet Chilli Chicken Wings (20) - These were shiny, perfectly seasoned without being too-sauced Meatballs in Sauce - Oh my god. Best meatballs I've ever had from a restaurant. The sauce is just a little spicy, thick, and packed with extra meat. So satisfying. Large Greek Salad - I am a feta cheese fanatic, so I know when it's done right. This was done right. Lots of olives, crisp cucumber, firm tomato, and small pieces of onion. Let's just say we have leftovers, but not a lot of them. The meatballs didn't stand a chance. Mr. J has ordered from this place for years and he advised me that three years ago when he ordered meatballs they were very much the same and equally worthy of praise. This was my first Burnaby delivery experience and they more than earned their 5 stars. We only order anything for delivery maybe once a year, but I know we will be back. Heck, I might even compromise on the bread and try their pizza... read more

3 pizzas for a kids party = $75 Getting kids and parents sick the next day = priceless read more

The below reviews should be ignored because they're an opinion thing, not a quality thing. Great service, I remember when we used to live at SFU and they'd still deliver regardless of how far we were! The pizza has a thicker, chewy crust, loaded with toppings and a sweet glaze on the edges of the crust. If you like this type of pizza, which we do, please give it a try! The bbq duck pizza is AMAZING! read more

1) IF A CUSTOMER HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SERVICE OR THE FOOD, DONT BE SARCASTIC AND ASK "WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?" THEN HANG UP!! BUSINESS SUICIDE, MY FRIEND!! 2) This place hasn't had a review in over a year, good or bad! This pizza place has gone right down hill, cold pizza straight from the "hot oven"!! 3) When Hot Oven first opened it was one of the best in North Burnaby, now it's one of the worst around, due to cheap, rude and generally stupid staff! 4) Forget about this pizza joint and call Viva Sues and tell Tony you're jumping ship from shit pizza!! You'll be very impressed with what is in store for your taste buds!! read more

Daring pizza lovers, I present to you: Hot Oven Pizza (and Pasta). When I say 'daring', I'm not talking about loading your pizza with spicy banana peppers or ordering a pan-sized lettuce-laden monstrosity that's supposed to resemble a taco (I'm looking at you, Panago). No. I'm talking about utilizing common food items (and dare I say, uncommon?) and fusing them with toppings we have never visualized on a pizza. Here are some examples: "Spam" - Spam, potato, corn, onion and gravy. "Chili Dog" - Meat sauce, hot dog, banana peppers and cheddar. "Tuna Melt" - Tuna, onion, tomato and cheddar. My favourite? Hands-down "The Orient". Where else can you find BBQ duck, chicken, green onion and tomatoes in a deep-dish pizza? Aside from the aforementioned pizza creations, there are also the classics and create-your-own. The pizza itself and dough is not overly greasy, but it is packed with toppings so you might mistake juice and sauce for grease. At the end of the day, these pizzas are delicious and they will fill you up - that's what we're looking for, right? read more

The myth and legend surrounding this place is almost incredible, not unlike a restaurant like Antons has a restaurant been hyped up so much, and like so many of these hyped up restaurants, they fail to deliver, none moreso then Hot Oven. My friend lives in the area, and once in a while we'd drop by and pick up usually the same old same old which to us is: 1 Large Hot Oven Select 1 Carnivore 1 Baked Ravioli Based on these three items, the food does not dissapoint. It's weighty, tasty, and generally very well done. Just don't tell any of the staff this. I live 9 KM away from their store, and have called countless times asking them if they can deliver to me. They say they can't and that it's too far. So Apparently a 9 KM delivery which would take 20 minutes is too far. Bull! So the last time, I made a point to take a cab across town to their shop and I asked them why they don't deliver for what would be a 20 minute drive and the person up front slammed my pizza box on the counter, and walked away telling me they wouldn't serve me the pizza. I'm frankly shocked, and while I mentioned I enjoy their pizza, it's not worth the stress and hassle. No one from Panago, Bella, or even Flying Wedge slams a pizza on a counter, refuses me service, and storms off. You're reading this wondering if this place is worth it. It's not. read more

I was lucky enough to win a Family Pack from Hot Oven Pizza a few weeks ago, just in time for the Canucks vs. Blackhawks game. In the spirit of hockey and pure irony, we ordered a Canucks "Chicago style" pizza. The Family Pack came with a lasagna, Caesar salad and 2 pieces of garlic bread. While the toppings itself was delicious, Hot Oven Pizza reconfirmed why I'm not a huge fan of Chicago-style pizzas. Whether it be the fault of the style of pizza, or the one who made it, I found that the deep-dish pizza left the thick-crust below the toppings soggy from the pasta sauce and oils from the meat. There's nothing much to be said about the salad or garlic bread, except the bread was slightly burnt. No big deal. The lasagna - fortunate for me, unfortunate for them - was delicious. It was cheese-loaded (a huge plus in my eyes), meaty and flavourful. It also had a wonderful tang in the tomato sauce which I can't quite put my finger on. I will most likely order from them again, considering my choices split between them and Pizza Hut or Panagos, but it might just be for the lasagna. read more

Ordered a Hot Oven Select pizza and some honey garlic wings for delivery. I wasn't expecting much from this place, as I've had some bad experiences with a couple of other family owned pizza places in the area. Was pleasantly surprised that this was actually really good. The food came in around 45 minutes, which was pretty standard with a lot of pizza delivery. A bit on the expensive side though. About $5 more for a medium compared to the big chain pizza places... but worth it. The honey garlic sauce on the wings was great. Some of the best wings I've had, actually. The pizza was very good though. It was a deep dish pizza. Not as deep as I thought it'd be, but thicker than your average pizza. The crust was amazing. It was light and crisp, and easy to bite through. The toppings were spot on. Great flavour. Loved it - can't wait to try more of their selection, and maybe their pasta too. read more

We just ordered three pizzas from here: Alexandra the Greek, Pesto Pollo, and the Canuck. I found the pizzas to be okay. It wasn't my favorite. But I did like that they were loaded with toppings. But maybe it was too juicy for my liking. Also, the crust had a sweet glaze on it which I wasn't sure if I liked. What I did like was that the Canuck pizza had real bacon on it... mmm! read more

Fresh and Yum - I think this joint is Asian run, perhaps Korean, and boy do they ever know how to make a decent pizza! The toppings are generous and fresh, like other reviewers have noted and the crust is fairly ample (although not as good as Bella's Pizza - I am more partial to a traditional, crusty on the outside-soft on the inside yeast-leavened crust - just my preference). Hot Oven's is softer and a bit more lipidy (is that a word?) - like they've used oil or shortening in their crust. Anyways, for any medium ($16 for 4 toppings) or large($19 for 4 toppings) pizza you can order 1/2 + 1/2: Can you say SCORE!!! That means you can try 2 flavours on one pizza - perfection! Recommended! read more

My mom got some pizza for the whole family since it was literally beside her workplace. She got the cheese pizza and the all meats pizza. Here comes the verdict. The pizza itself was sweet on the crust for some reason. A little bit oily (possibly added some olive oil. It is ran by a family which is good. However... I think I rather make my own... read more

Suddenly they decided that they are not coming to my place when they was in this area many times when I ordered before There is no specifying what are the delivery area limits They charge for delivery and I think this is rude. read more

We had the Greek - feta, tomato, peppers, black olives & onion - it was thick with toppings. This is not a pretentious pizza - think prairie Greek restaurant pizza and you'll catch my drift. Good ingredients, but nothing sundried or thrown on top as a whole leaf. Good crust, not soggy, brushed w garlic oil after going in the oven. It was about 1" deep, and crust built up like a rim. Definitely deep dish. We paid about $20 w tip for a medium. Standard comparable price. Was served by the owner I think, nice people worth supporting. read more

This is a gem in North Burnaby. Their pizzas are super juicy and fresh! It's full of toppings. Ever since we we tried the pizzas here, we never ordered elsewhere. I don't know why there are negative reviews about this shop. To be fair, the prices are reasonable and the service is good! read more

Ordered a pizza here one night on a walk-in with a friend. This was the first time I tried Hot Oven. Ordered a medium with a few toppings and the price came to around $20, which I found to be slightly on the expensive side. Pizza came about 15 minutes later. Since we were eating in we were given a paper plate and some napkins. The pizza was alright. Not greasy at all and that was with extra cheese. As we were finishing the meal, the delivery man, who had just spent 2-3 minutes parking his car, entered the store and began swearing at us for staring at him and laughing as he tried to park correctly. Swearing at paying customers is no way to do business so for that reason I would not return to this establishment. read more

OK well. WAS fairly happy with this pizza joint mostly anyway until for some reason even though they delivered to my place in Burnaby a few times (literally a 10 minute drive) they all of a sudden decided they are not going to deliver UNLESS they have another delivery to do at the same time. They DO charge extra for delivery so....whatup? Poor customer service in pretty much anybodies eyes, Not going to reward this pizza joint with any of my business. read more

ordered from here on a whim - figured I should ordered everywhere else in n burnaby. pizza was good - great toppings, zesty sauce - but different. this ain't no p'hut nor panago - it's a hand crafted cared for pizza. read more

Delicious pizza with plenty of topics. Good value. The crust is crispy on the bottom and has a nice chewiness, without being too doughy. Highly recommend this place. It's definitely not the cheapest pizza to order, but if you're looking for quality pizza, this is the place. read more

Terrible service. I have planned not one but TWO parties around this pizza place because their pizza is AMAZING. Both times have been at friday or saturday night 6-8pm and ZERO answer of the phone. I even walked for 30 minutes to the place one night to receive a "closed" sign. It was saturday. At 7pm. So either update your hours, or answer your phone. Don't plan parties around this pizza place. Not reliable. read more

I love pizza and absolutely love Hot Oven! They use good quality stuff for their toppings and pile them on high, covered with a layer of cheese that makes every bite delicious. Their tomato sauce is nice and zesty and the sweet glaze on the crust just adds that extra kick of flavor that really makes these pizzas so great. This place is still just as good now as when they first opened, which is unfortunately not common. My husband and I live in Vancouver, but when we get a hankering for some delicious deep-dish style pizza we can't think of a better place. My parents even make the trip of Richmond once in a while! read more

Two slices and i was stuff. Hearty toppings, almost deep dish style, thick crust. It was good but i am the pickiest pizza person. The leftover piece was almost better the next day. So filling though so if you are insatiable, go here! read more

First the pros... great pizza!!! In my opinion probably the best on the heights. The cons.... they always say 45 mins for delivery, yet every time I order it took an hour n 10 mins minimum! Last time I ordered delivery the driver left my gate open knowing I have a dog! Conclusion if u like quality pizza dont mind waiting an hour and a half for it, and you dont mind going outside to double check on your gate, this is your place!!!! read more

Good pizza, good lasagna, good service. Not my favourite sauce (I like a tangy pizza sauce and this is more of a hearty tomato pasta sauce) but always delicious food. We order a pizza, lasagna and salad and everything arrives in a timely fashion on a Saturday night. Very good meal! read more

I live in the neighborhood so I have tried many places in this area! This one is just OK. I wouldnt reccommend it. It is a good snack to grab if you are not in the mood to cook and want something quick. Honestly you are better off going to Da Mario across the street for some real Italian food. I have only tried the lasagna here but it is nothing to rave about. It tastes like a packaged lasagna that you would purchase from the grocery store... except if is much more expensive. It is a decent portion but it is waaaaay overpriced. If i remember correctly it costs roughly around $15.00. read more

This is my favourite pizza place. I have to say, that pepperoni is the best as the provolone and pepperoni combination are unbelievable. The crust is a real pizza pie made fresh and deep. One slice is filling. I have tried some others; but go back to the pepperoni. Great find in North Burnaby. read more

We ordered a Hawaiian pizza and a pepperoni pizza, the Hawaiian is okay but tastes like its been sitting for awhile, and they just warmed it up, the pepperoni has way to much meat and feels a little soggy. I was looking forward to a once and awhile greasy meal that has that guilty satisfaction, but this did nothing for me =( read more
