Well, I promised a dear friend that I would try Roadrunner again. This is his favourite Friday night pizza place. I trust him implicitly so off I went on Friday night to try his top recommendation: the bacon pizza. They have a medium or large 1-topping special for $8 or $10 respectively. The place is still sketchy. I am not sure how but it may possibly be more so than it was the last time. It looked so grimy in the waiting area. The free newspaper on the counter was dated Oct 24, 2018. It was May 2019 when I wrote this! As for the pizza, on the first bite, I wasn't that impressed. It was too hot and burned my mouth like no other. As it cooled, the flavours came out and I could see what my friend was getting at. The sauce was sweet with a little tang, the bacon was real slices cut into one-inch squares which made it chewy and quite unique for a pizza. The crust, at first, broke apart as I lifted it so I was a little worried but once it cooled, I found it had a nice texture and taste. Overall, it was oily but that just adds to the Friday night flavour. I am torn. The donair was so bad it barely deserved one star. But the pizza, which is their bread and butter, was pretty good but what do I give it? It's probably four or five stars in my friend's book but I can't agree. I'm going to give Roadrunner the benefit of the doubt and hope no one EVER comes for a donair. Stick with the pizza - it's worth... three stars! read more

I want to make it clear that I didn't actually eat at RoadRunner, I did have a bad experience with them though. I called RoadRunner to order a pizza for pickup. We asked what their specials were and then ended the phone call so we could decide what we wanted (so that the guy working didn't have to wait and hear us bicker about pizza toppings for ten minutes). When I called back, I placed my order but the man working was extremely rude to me. I hung up the phone in shock but called back two minutes later to cancel my order because I was so offended by the rudeness of the previous call. When I called back to cancel, he was even ruder to me. Again, my only experience with RoadRunner has been over the phone but I can tell you that because of that encounter, I will never be calling (or going to) RoadRunner Pizza & Donair ever again. read more

It is a pizza and donair shop. It's up half a flight of stairs. The best part of this place is that you can take the food to the Empress Pub. Very sketchy and and messy inside. Chinese staff. Funny how the place did not smell like pizza!?. The cheese donair was good with tomatoes and a few onions. The sweet sauce was awful. Fortunately they put it on the side. They need to get Tsazkiki sauce. However their pizza is very good with lots of toppings and at a good price. I've ordered pizza several times and loved it. read more

It's not good pizza and the lasagna is quite bad. But guess what? At 1:00am, it's the best freakin food you've ever had. The stay open until 3:00am on the weekends. They will deliver to your home, but not to your bar. (We have to walk over and pick it up then make sure the bar allows you to bring in food.) They have counter seating for a few. You can sit and read the paper while you wait for your order. If you prefer to wait at the bar, they will phone you when your pick up order is ready. I should probably order some different things from the menu before I assume all of their food is "meh". read more

Great and different pizza! Staff is friendly . A Vietnamese family owned business. I went in for 9.95 large pizza for pickup. Add 2 dollars for extra topping. Lots of more ingredients and cheaper compared to other pizza places! Recommended ! read more

I've been a huge fan of Roadrunner Pizza since my very first order back in January. Having a serious craving for good pizza I looked to my local Yelpers for some advice! After browsing through reviews I finally decided to give RR a try. Noticing their many great specials and combos I decided to go with their meat lovers pizza but adding green pepper (gotta add some veggies to avoid feeling guilty). It was a bit later on a weekend so delivery took a little longer than I would have hoped, but they make up for it with their handmade crust and cheese!!! I don't think I have ever had so much cheese without asking for extra! The pie was cooked to perfection, crispy on the bottom and bubbly on the top with the brown bubbles that I look for in a great pie. The service here is what really impresses me. It's always thorough, friendly, the drivers come with proper change and they're always friendly to my little loving dog. Other great delights from RR are their onion rings! Always got and crispy when delivered right to your door! read more

My days of ordering from Roadrunner - and eating donairs in general - are long past, but this spot on the far end of Whyte Ave will forever stand out in my mind as the golden, unbeatable delivery donair that arrived at the front door of the house I shared with my brother almost every weekend in the middle of the night. These are one-pounders, with tomatoes and onions and beautifully melted cheese, with perfectly cooked donair meat (none of that gross outer crust) and come with the donair sauce in a pretty big container on the side so you can dip to your heart's content. Roadrunner's menu is extensive, with pizzas, pastas, salads, and much more but we always stuck to this staple, which satisfied every time. read more

I have been ordering from Roadrunner for about a decade... and have never been disappointed. I don't order from there too often anymore, but when I do, I'm always very happy. Ordering delivery is a bit of a pain because the wait is usually 60 - 90 minutes, but somehow your food is hot when it gets to you! This weekend after the Ice on Whyte festival, I had a real craving for some roadrunner. So for the very first time, we decided to stop in and order take out, rather than delivery. When you walk in, you can definitely tell that delivery and take out is their bread and butter. There are a couple of stools up against a counter that you can sit at and eat if you want, but there's really nothing to look at while you're there. So... I mentioned that I've been ordering from here for about a decade. And usually it's during some pretty serious drinking nights and you don't really focus on the quality. So this experience was completely new for me. Did you know that their spring rolls are handmade? They're definitely the best in the city, but I didn't realize that they were handmade. Also, their pizza dough is made in house too! Highly impressed. If I hadn't gone into the actual location on Saturday and just based my review on all the delivery orders over the year, this would have been a 4 star review. Food was always excellent, staff were friendly over the phone, as well as at the door and the orders were always accurate. What bumped them up to 5 stars was the pride they take in providing fresh ingredients. read more

This place is great on weekends I'm up late and needing comfort food. The pizza is yummy, the lasagna $7.50 is delishous her sauce she makes is very good. Poutine also very tasty. I didn't care for the Donair or sauce myself or the dry ribs as I like bone in. It's a family owned business and I respect that. Don't expect to understand them ordering delivery but what you can expect is good food at reasonable price. read more

I dunno guys, I'm really surprised by the high rating for Road Runner Pizza. Sure, in a drunken stupor we've all found ourselves mad scarfin a piece of road runner 'za, but honestly, it's a moment of convenience not choice. I find the pizza from Road Runner to be questionable at best. The meat on the pizza is more on side the lunch meat. The diameter of the pepperoni is alarming. It's too big!! This ain't a sandwich people!! I also don't find the pizza to be baked long enough. I like a pizza with cheese significantly melted and each time I've ordered pizza from RR, I feel like I gotta bake it for longer at home because otherwise it's too globby. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I'm not welcoming any half baked lunch meat 'za into my gullet unless I'm at least 5 pints in! My kingdom for a decent local pizza that can be delivered! If you know of one, holla at ya girl! read more

I loved this pizza as a kid. Tried a donair pizza today and was quite disappointed. Dough didnt seem fresh at all and the toppings were not great, rubbery to chew on. Whole tomato slices laid on top don't disguise this pizza as something fresh. I would've rather had a freezer pizza instead. However, I still ate the whole thing, all the tomato's fell off though, and I had to add a bunch of Frank's hot sauce to add some flavour. Sorry roadrunner, but my childhood memories were far, far better. read more

The place is a hole-in-the-wall. If you are squeemish about seeing a dirty kitchen, phone in your order from home. Good donairs, good pizza and great spring rolls, made in house and full of tasty pork. I have had Roadrunner several times over the last decade or so, and while it hasnt ever been the best take out, I've never had a bad experience. read more

The daughter who works at this location of Roadrunner Pizza & Donair is nice. The father, bizarre hair and all, needs to work on basic customer service. I know that English is his second language and it is always a challenge to work in a second language unless you are really fluent in it, but a smile and some politesse go a long way. Beyond that, this place is untidy and unwelcoming, and the food is only acceptable. I am unlikely to return. read more

Somehow found their way into my apartment building and left unsolicited flyers on every door. Archaic and unwanted.

The servers always seem annoyed to have to serve. One guy in particular made a sarcastic comment about the fact that I just ordered wings once. The pizza and wings are decent, though. read more

I have been ordering pizza here for well over a decade on, and off. More so lately, I find the pizzas here very unique, in a good way. The sauce is a little light, which helps off set the carb load a little. As for the toppings, I get best results when I order extra cheese. The vegetable toppings are large, chunky and fresh. The meat toppings: large, but thin pieces. The crust was medium thickness and puffy. Not a lot of grease at all. Altogether, very satisfying. I would keep ordering pizza here for the consistency of quality and nostalgia. It is like stepping into a time machine with every bite. Some things in life don't need to be perfect, they just have to get the job done well. read more

Ordered a pizza for delivery. pretty quick for delivery, the pizza was good. only down side would be the cheese could be melted more or better, but I have to say it tasted pretty good... might order again. read more

Jumbo donair w cheese w extra sauce, baby. My friend likes it with x2 sauce and side onion rings put into it. I always get delivery so can't comment on dining in. English on phone no problem . Perfect grease amount for a night of drinking or the next morning. The sauce they put into the donair is Amazing. Ask for extra sauce on sure. Pour half on and dip the donair into left over sauce read more

Great cheap pizza lots of cheese and pepperoni. Blows dominos, 73, Papa out of the water. Repeat customer! read more

tonight i ordered 2 donairs and a small pizza. One donair and the sauce had hair in it. I phoned and the driver brought me a different sauce. I phoned them again and was told i had to bring them the donair and sauce to them as he didnt believe me. I told them fine I will bring it in again. He phoned me back and told me he wasnt going to do business with me again. Thx Roadrunner for not making good on your food. I would not recommend doing business with this restaurant at the 82 ave one. read more

Well I ordered delivery, the lady on the phone was short tempered and rude. We got our food, ordered two reg donairs, 2 cans of pop, extra sweet sauce, and small fries. She confirmed my order and read it back to me. BUT when I got the food there was no small fries and a 2 litre of diet pop, and the sweet sauce was extremely runny. The meat was dry, hard and crunchy. The pita was stale, I will not order from here again. Live and learn read more

I've tried almost every pizza place in the city and this is by far the best tasting and for the best price. Don't waste your time getting ripped off from the other places. They are usually super fast with delivery time aswell. I only order pizza from this place now. read more

The owner is a complete scumbag when it comes to his marketing. I clearly have signs on my door saying I do not want any junk mail and this company continues to deliver me flyers every month and ignores the signs on my door clearly saying "no junk mail" This company is absolutely horrible and are nothing more than a bunch of scumbags. Do not visit this location! There has also been 2 complaints with the BBB about this store and the owner refused to answer! read more

I order from Roadrunner usually about once a month and I'll tell you why! They make an excellent pizza that is very affordable for starters. Tasty with a good amount of toppings to crust ratio and lots of cheese without ordering extra cheese even, which I usually do anyways. They make a decent donair but definitely not the best or the worst I've ever had. The star attraction though and why I continue to order from them on an almost monthly basis is the roadrunner hot sub. I get mine without green peppers and with extra cheese. Basically it's what one of the best half loaves I've ever had. Ham, pepperoni, salami, onions, loads of melted gooey mozzarella even without ordering extra cheese on an Italian loaf. It is the tastiest meal I can find for around $8 in a delivery order although they do have a $14 minimum for delivery I believe. I usually get a medium pizza with it for keeping or even to have half and half as a great weekend hangover meal. The staff does seen to come across as rude at times but I can live with that if they keep bringing me those ultra tasty hot subs. read more
