    a hand holding a slice of pizza

    I'm sorry, I never want to hurt a business with a bad review. I love pizza, especially pizza with everything on it. Tonight, the loaded 'expectations' have failed either John's Pan Pizza or John's Pan Pizza. I will never order from here again for the following reasons. We ordered from Uber Eats and immediately initiated the procedure to complain about an unedible order, a missing charged item. The pizza dough to our loaded pizza was half raw. No complaints on what's on top but the crust/bread is a crucial part to enjoy a pizza. I understand that if we paid extra for a fully loaded pizza it would take longer to make sure it cooks through. Not sure if they knew that. So ruined our night, only eating toppings and on top of that the caeser salad is old, very far from gourmet or fresh. Like it was sitting in a bowl the whole day and has started to wilt. We also paid for two sauces, save 1 sauce for leftovers another day but only received one. Now I appreciate constructive criticism as it makes me and my work better. Called them directly to let them know about this issue. The cook listened and then gave the phone to the manager which literally blamed the Uber driver for accusadly driving around making the dough soggy. To be clear, it was not soggy it was gooey and uncooked. The call that was supposed to help this business owner be better turned into a pass the buck situation hence this review. John's Pan Pizza will never ever get our business not recommendation. A simple sorry this has happened to you, sorry for ruining your dinner and thank you for calling as we will make sure no other patrons may have this happen to them, would have resolved this all.

    Great toppings but unfortunately the pizza was raw! We called the restaurant to let them know, not interested in a refund or a replacement cause really it's too late now. We already have a bad taste in our mouths (literally). Instead of taking responsibility, they decided to blame on the Uber driver for driving around and making the pizza soggy but clearly soggy pizza and raw pizza is 2 different things. As you can see in the pictures, the bottom of the pizza is dry and the middle of the pizza is raw dough. It's ok to make mistakes but never once did they apologize and only made excuses and putting blame on others. Really disappointing on their approach. Wishing all of you better luck!

    Times have changed and so has this place. I think it has replaced the old pizza place I used to order because they have a better more expansive menu but that's not all. The delivery driver I got was the owner and he was super nice! Not like that other place where the driver was all negative attitude. That turned me off and so I decided to give John's Pan Pizza another try . I was happy I did. They're trying new pizza options and the pizzas I ordered was quite good! Ok the pizza dough was ok nothing to write home about but in comparison the toppings were much better than the competitors I used to order from.

    My husband and I were feeling pretty hungry as we made our way into Steveston to work at a coffee shop. We didn't want to spend a lot of money and wanted something to tide us over until dinner. We ordered two pepperoni slices and a pop for $5.50 + tax. I thought that the pizza was good enough for the price. My preference for pizza is for the crust to be crispier. This pizza was more doughy. I also am used to slices being larger. I found these to be on the small side of things. Overall, it was a decent price for some cheaper eats in Steveston if you're in a pinch.

    So delicious!

    The pizza is so good here! I had it for the first time a couple years ago on Canada and have been going back since. Everything from the crust, sauce and toppings are perfect. The customer service here is also awesome. I always feel like such a valued customer. Must try this place if in the area you won't regret it.

After hearing this, my husband proceeded to order the Rosa pasta with a side of chicken. I had ordered out from a cafe across the lot and we reconvened at one of the two circular outdoor tables outside Solo. After taking a bite of pasta Rosa, I have to say, I had entree envy! It was delicious! Creamy, balanced and seasoned just right! When I bit into the fettuccine it had a slight chew to it which made me believe that it recently made. While I did think the portion was a tad small for the price but the flavor of the sauce was phenomenal! In fact, I scraped the box with a fork just so I could get every last bit! A few notes: No bathrooms. Three bench seats inside. Two simple tables outside with patio chairs. There was a slight breeze and the sun was behind some clouds but this all made up for a nice summer dining experience.

The pasta was very good though. I had maccheroni pasta in norma sauce. It wasn't quite as expected because the picture I saw online showed the ricotta dolloped on top of the pasta, but it was served already mixed into the sauce. Very tasty though, if a little salty. The sauce tasted freshly made and I liked the roasted eggplant pieces on top rather than mixed into the sauce. The pasta was very good. You can specify if you like it al dente or soft. I hade mine al dente, and it was nice and tender. There was just one worker there and it seemed like they were keeping busy with delivery orders, but my pasta was ready in a very timely manner for being cooked to order.

    I first tried out Nook for the first time, post Covid-19 about two years ago in North Vancouver at…read morethe Shipyards. It was an unmemorable experience due to what most restaurants & businesses at that time were trying to get over. The lingering effects of the pandemic were devastating to this industry & others. What had been done to all, especially the restaurant industry - shortage of staff, difficulty rehiring, cost to run businesses escalating rapidly etcetera ... made things difficult to get over. So I found eating there at that time to be kinda boring. Move over to today - 2025 & voila - what a difference. There's something on point about the vibe here at this location - Kitsilano (Kits) Beach. Our server was awesome & funky. The Kale salad delivers 100% on taste = tremendous! The Gnocchi - munch, chew & chew = ahhhh. The Sausage & Chili pizza was done right! The crust was thin & tasty. The ingredients were delicious. This one has a slight kick to it. We had a splendid time eating at the communal table (full house this afternoon & only table available or wait 1 hour) & thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. This is a cozy location where the cool people come to eat & be seen. Italian themed but so much more. If you're down here at Kits Beach & with a group of friends - I highly recommend you pop in!

They have a couple lunch specials, including a mini pizza and salad and some other pasta you don't see on the regular menu. There were four of us, and this location is amazing. It's right a block up from Kitsilano Beach. We got the kale salad (they are supper accommodating and can do anything on the side). And we got two pastas (the arrabiata was great and the bolognese was good (I thought it was just fine - the bolognese was too pork forward). I really enjoyed their focaccia bread. It did taste a little bit like a chewy naan. They cut it up into triangle pieces and the olive oil and balsamic that they bring is of excellent quality and honestly, the salad is probably my favorite thing on the menu as well as the Arrabiata. We also got the pizza to share and the sauce and cheese was good - they do not skip on their pepperoni. The prices are super good for it being so beach front. The aperol spritz was also good (it came in a regular class but it was good). The interior is so much bigger than you think in the bathrooms were super clean and nice. You can also see them baking the focaccia and pizzas. I am sure they're better Italian places in the city, but truly the service here was so above and beyond that it is a five star experience for me.

She recommended we sit further away on hard uncomfortable seats in the wind. What the heck? It was uncomfortable then another waitress with light brown hair came by and said "is there a problem?" I said "we would prefer to sit in the covered patio" She said it was okay but kind of made kind of a big deal about it. Treating me like I was being difficult when actually I was very polite considering how they were treating us. Reminding us repeatedly that a larger more important party is coming in an hour and treating us like we were a burden. It honestly just seemed like the servers are only thinking only about their tips and not wanting to serve a small family. She ignored our table the whole time. I didn't get any Parmesan. Because she never stopped to ask how the meal was. The server had someone bring the food. It wasn't even busy. She just didn't care. Our server basically did nothing but avoid us. The only time she was remotely friendly was when she handed my spouse the bill. Obviously fishing for tips. She asked what we are going to do after this and as I answered she looked away like she couldn't give an F. These bad servers need to go. Bad service always ruins a business. It really doesn't matter if the food is good when the servers are rude. We won't be coming back.
