We liked the variety on the menu and they have non-alcoholic beer available. I tried a flight of beers and found some new brews I really like. If only I can get them in California. Foodwise, we had the smoked brisket sandwich and the seared cod with white beans and veg. We were hungry so no photos. The sandwich was alright. We're used to brisket with stronger flavors or perhaps a bit more smoke flavor. The seared cod was very good. For some reason, I didn't expect soupy beans. But the flavor was good and I enjoyed it. The service was good. We enjoyed our meal.

Service was great, we were sat right away. A plus was Happy Hour all day on Sundays! We ordered the onion rings, and a funghi pizza with sausage. Drinks were good, not fantastic. Pizza was delicious. The onion rings didn't come with a dipping sauce, we requested an aioli, which our server obliged. Overall- good solid pub food- cool spot to sit with friends over some drinks.

Three different times I stopped for take out & all were lovely supper experiences. My friend & I…read morereally enjoyed the pizza from here (a first for both of us in 2025 during the Cowichan Valley Dine Out event meal features). I also ordered pick up for just myself another time. Lots of dessert & pre-made meal choices. Even if you're just stopping for something to drink, you'll enjoy browsing through the little shop. They're focused on Italian specialty items but have a mix of other goods there too. Staff are always friendly & are very patient with my packing logistics so I can carry everything myself while using my cane. There's seating inside & on the patio. I'm yet to go early enough in the day to enjoy the patio or on a nicer weather day but I do appreciate the very sturdy ramp up to the restaurant/shop doors & patio. Decent amount of parking too. Quick to drive to from Duncan & I first noticed this place when I took Lake Road for different views. Immediately off the main road but pay close attention to google maps (or whatever you use) when you're driving to the restaurant. As you see the sign & restaurant after you should be slowing down to turn into driveway. By my third visit, I knew what to look for & I didn't have to circle back. Looking forward to stopping here in 2026 & trying more items off the menu.

Being mainly a tourist town, Friday Harbor isn't necessarily the greatest of dining destinations…read more Many of the establishments cater to the 'one and done' tourist crowd, but Van Go's Pizza is a real gem that has the chops to maintain a devoted regular clientele. THE ROSES: Located a block off the main drag in Friday Harbor, VGP is situated in a cozy, peaceful space. On nice days I highly recommend dining in the garden space out back. The salads and pizzas are excellent; they only do a relatively thin crust pizza, but it is done perfectly, and the toppings are of excellent quality. They have a very good selection of pizzas on offer; all the 'usual suspects', and a very creative selection of their own concoctions. For the GF crowd, they also offer a very nice 10" GF crust. Very good selection of wines, ciders, and beers (both bottle and tap). The staff is truly delightful; friendly and very efficient. They really leave you feeling that they appreciate your business. THE THORNS: The menu seems a little limited in that it appears to be just pizza and salads, but I think I'd rather dine in a place that does a few things really well rather than one that has a menu that's 'A jack of all trades but master of none'. THE VERDICT: Van Go's Pizza is a real standout on the Friday Harbor casual dining scene. It definitely worth the short walk up from the ferry landing and away from the tourist traps. Highly recommend!

The pizza was super flavourful, and the wood fire made the crust crispy yet soft. I highly recommend getting the dill ranch dip for the crust. The sauce is super refreshing; it's like eating dill chips! I will say, both pizzas had a similar flavour profile, so I would highly recommending only getting one of the two, and trying something else from their menu. Service was also super fast! Do note that this is a food stand, so make sure you have somewhere to eat!
