The manager on duty was very frustrated by this situation and our server was apologetic. I went next-door to the grocery store ATM to get cash as no one in my dining party had cash or a debit card. It was most curious that the pizzas were all brought out with scissors so we could cut them ourselves. Apparently they don't own any pizza cutters in the kitchen. There was a nice selection of beers on tap. 4 of them. Yelp didn't save the pictures I took on the app or there would be more of our pizza.

Decent place to grab a later bite to eat as you're driving into the mid-island. Grabbed a flavoured…read moreiced tea, pizza (had chicken on it but don't recall the name) & tried what was sounded like a light dessert (as I didn't want to be stuck with a giant slice of tiramisu that I wasn't able to eat by myself). Pizza was a solid meal for one & I had a bit of leftovers. The dessert of non-warmed bread & cold Nutella like spread was something I probably would skip for that price. It came out like one should dunk the bread slices into the giant cup of Nutella. Bread was soft (tasted lovely but lightly toasted would of been better for dipping) & couldn't dip, let alone barely scoop out the Nutella. So I was that person & grabbed a knife off a different set table away from mine to be able to even enjoy my dessert. I let the server know that I thought the meal was good & that at least warmed bread would make a world of difference in the enjoyment of the dessert option while paying up at the till. There's various seating options with lower or raised tables, as well as the bar height kitchen seating. Server was lovely & tried her best to provide me a good experience even though the closing cleaning was visibly happening around me & the few other tables. Lots of parking options being that it has a parking lot connected to all the other businesses in that area. Handicap spot well placed. Sidewalk was low enough that if you didn't get the handicap spot, the height of the sidewalk would be less of a barrier for someone with mobility changelings. The washroom was generous in size & decently set up for handicap use. However, I was left wondering if it was a fully packed place, how easily one could maneuver between tables & the kitchen to reach the washroom spots. Also, as I was there towards the end of their night, I'm not sure how loud it is with a full restaurant but I did feel the music was on the high end for that time of night. Again, I get it if staff were getting close to closing they were more in prep & cleaning mode. I might try this location another time earlier in the day to see if I enjoy it more or the same with friends.

My first time trying out Pizza By The Beach tonight, and I was sadly disappointed. I really wanted…read moreit to be good, because every other pizza business that has been run out of this address has consistently failed and closed down. I can think of at least six previous pizza companies that have run out of this address and all of them have failed. I'm not sure why people invest their livelihood and their financial future into yet another pizza place when they know that it has failed continuously in the years before them. I don't get what makes them think that they are going to be the ones that will make it a success, when every single other pizza place there has failed. ALL of them. In any event, this newly branded pizza place for 2019, Pizza By The Beach, with all of its flashy and colorful signs on white vans that are parked in the parking lot advertising it, all means nothing unless the food is great. And it is not! I tried a Hawaiian pizza with some friends tonight, nothing fancy, just your plain run-of-the-mill Hawaiian pizza. You'd think that that would be pretty hard to mess up right? It was probably the worst pizza I've ever eaten in my life. In fact I couldn't even finish the first piece, and my friend who had two pieces on his plate, wouldn't touch his second piece. I thought initially that maybe it was just me, but when my friend also couldn't eat more than one slice, I knew it was truly horrible pizza. The crust was mediocre at best, very thin, but it wasn't the crust that was the problem, it was just the overall general taste. There was a noticeable lack of pizza cheese, and the toppings were just plain and bland. In their advertisements that I've seen, they claimed to be short on clothes, but not short on toppings. I think they actually got that mixed up and turned around. A frozen pizza on sale at a grocery store for $2 that we ended up cooking because their pizza was SO bad tasted better than the pizza we bought tonight from Pizza By The Beach. I don't know, maybe the person that was making it tonight was too busy messing with their phone, or vaping out back, or smoking a doob, or something, but it was just plain, horrible, pizza. If this was an anomaly, it's unfortunate, because this was my first time trying them out, and as such, it will be my last. Like I said at the beginning, I really wanted to like this pizza and this place as it's nice having a local good pizza place in Shawnigan Lake. The other pizza place in the Village is horrible, and I think most people agree with that. Pizza By The Beach, at least tonight, is even worse than the place in the Village! We want our $22 back (and that was just for a single pizza too!!)
