Boston Pizza

Had Clayton as a server he was super awesome and had our food out served quick with a smile. Also he touched a lemon and then replaces it with four more. Was pretty cool would eat at again.

To be completely honest this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. Service was slow, from getting seated to getting our waters, it took 10 minutes. Reasonable if the room was packed, but it was sparse. Safe to say half the booths were in use, and none of the dining tables were in use. An average Tuesday night. After ordering out food took another 20 minutes to arrive, and it was mediocre at best.
Won’t be coming here again.

Very, very slow service and an uninterested server. We waited over an hour for our appetizers which were cold when they arrived. To compensate the server had one appetizer taken off our bill. My fishbowl drink was my traditional drink and was sweeter than usual for some strange reason. I would likely come back for drinks, but would never order food here again.

Playoffs tonight. Barely busy place during the game, in the lounge. Drinks took too long to get, food was ok. No place to sit because the tables were all dirty that werent occupied. People were clearing them themselves as they came in. Then when i paid my bill, after sending my drink back, the waitress «sang for her supper» in ways of an apology for the terrible service. We wont be back.

If you need a review of Boston Pizza to tell you what a Boston Pizza is, then you don’t know Boston Pizza.
It’s terrible. It’s always been terrible. It is the overpriced «fancy» meal of my youth that seemed exciting but always left everybody disappointed.
If you are into shit, check out Boston Pizza.

I’ve been to this Boston Pizza location MANY times over the years. That said I never expect fast service here — it is often understaffed even if it is a slow evening. I prefer the restaurant portion of this restaurant location to the lounge (which is upstairs). Boston Pizza menus are standardized throughout the chain and so I have no complaints with those (there is ample variety and as I’ve been to Boston Pizza so frequently throughout the years I’m often the one to seek out whatever is new on the menu rather than anything else). Bottomless fountain drinks and iced tea is really convenient particularly if you are planning on being there for a while.
It is however a great place for a group because even with little notice there is often room here and staff are capable to put together tables. In addition they are relatively community minded and will negotiate fundraisers for your group here if asked. Boston Pizza locations are also good for families. I used to always come here for late night food.

I am surprised to read all the negative comments for this Boston Pizza as my friend and I stopped in after attending Ice On Whyte and found it to be one of the best we have ate at in the city. The waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. Drinks were refilled promptly and we saw her twice over the course of our meal to make sure everything was alright.
The prices at BP’s have gone up a bit for some menu items but I felt the quality of food at this particular location justified the increases and very rarely will you ever hear such a sentence uttered from my very frugal mouth. My friend found her burger to be very satisfying and my nacho’s were absolutely covered in toppings. I cannot begin to list all the places I have gone where all the toppings are sitting on top while the chips on the bottom are completely naked.
The dining room here is a bit smaller then most other locations so you might have a bit of a wait if you are with younger family members that cannot sit in the lounge area. Also the bathrooms here are quite small so it doesn’t take much to generate a line up during a busy weekend.
All in all though I was extremely pleased with the food and service I got from here. They are in the midst of their valentines fundraising campaign with the heart shaped pizza’s and paper hearts all over the wall and one of their servers at this location has already raised a thousand dollars. It is such a busy yet upbeat environment that I can totally understand why. In a city that has a sea of Boston Pizza’s this is truly a stand out location for me.

I’m not usually a Boston Pizza fan, but it’s surprisingly difficult to find a place to take a group (like, say, a sports team) on short notice, in the evening, near the university. And so we ended up at BP’s a few times.
We were usually there on Monday evenings or Sunday afternoons, or other non-​peak times, so I’m not sure how busy it gets then. We were always able to easily find a spot for 12 of us, and their team pitchers are perfect after a game. The beer selection is ok (it is BP’s after all), and a couple times we drank them out of our first and second choices.
The services has always been good here for us, friendly and relatively quick. BP’s food is pretty meh, despite their ever-​growing menu. But this is still a decent option when you won’t fit anywhere else (and you don’t want to go to the Garneau…)

The Boston Pizza Royal was below my ezpextations.

Bland bland bland. I remember as a kid their food actually tasted like something. Now it doesn’t. No seasoning. No nothing. Just blah.

Better than expected — the menu has changed quite a bit since I last visited a BP’s (which isn’t often), and for being the first, oldest and original site of BP’s, it’s not it bad shape! The server tried to be attentive but was a little lacking, although very friendly. She had to be reminded a few times about things (e.g. — getting waters and plates for sharing/​pizza) but did try to make things right immediately.
This BP’s has a funny set-​up where drinks come down to the restaurant from the lounge via a dumbwaiter, which seems to delay things a bit, but the server was conscientious about keeping on top of the drinks. The place was pretty quiet so I can’t imagine if it were busy how this system would hinder the service!
Had the warm goat cheese dip (very yummy), bacon cheeseburger pizza (pretty yummy, BP’s still has the best sauce and their pizza is rarely a fail, just expensive) and bellinis (not bad).
They also had a good liquor selection. Our tablemates were overall satisfied with their meals, although the caesar salad had almost no dressing on it.
Not a bad choice, not a great one. The food was good. Take-​out might be better.
Still not a bad hang-​out place for a smaller group of friends.

This BP’s is kind of hidden along the eastern side of Whyte Ave.
About the quality of food I’ve come to expect from a BP’s. You know exactly what’s on the menu and it always tastes the same. I do appreciate their gluten free pizza which is quite good. The service we tend to receive at this location is spotty at best. I’m not sure why my friends like to go here (I guess it’s close) but I would suggest one of the many other gems in the area.
If you like BP’s, this one’s okay.

I still stand by everything I said in my previous review. The staff at this location are amazing. But after going back to eating at the BP’s near my house (Mill Woods), and visiting some of the other locations across western Canada, I gotta say, the food here just isn’t as good. It’s alright, but it’s not the best BP’s I’ve ever had.

I know that BP’s is a big and pretty famous chain and am not someone who gives bad reviews to chain restaurants because they’re chains. I’ve been here once and was really disappointed with the food out here.
One of the plus points is that BP’s is open till late. Not like 3 a.m. late, but still to find food at midnight on a weeknight, even on Whyte, is kind of hard. So I certainly give them an extra star for that! Now comes the salad I ordered. OMG, it had so much cheese in it. Not just mozzarella but even cheddar cheese. I don’t understand why there needs to be so much cheese in a salad. There was too much dressing too, which is worth mentioning and it was hard to eat. The chicken was breaded and fried and nothing about the salad was healthy.
I was sharing the salad and my dining mate got an appetizer which was again very unhealthy. The whole thing was a strangely greased up affair and I understand that it was pretty much our fault for ordering these things. But I’ve got to say, they need a few healthy choices. The only thing healthy on the menu is a garden salad. When I say the food is greasy, I mean it’s just excessively rich and not even tasty.
I might go here again and might revisit my review if I am wrong or overstating things.

We were a big group to this place on a weekday night. My first time at this joint which seems to be open late and popular for groups and sports lovers.
The food was very disappointing. The appetizers (spinach+artichoke dip, nachos were well below the mark and cactus cut potatoes were average). The main course was all vegetarian in our group. The only bright spot was the Zorba (Greek) pizza which was close to being good. Rest all that we ordered (Bruschetta pizza, veg lasagna and veg pasta) was again well below average.
It is slightly pricey for the kind of food. Service was good.
The food left everyone dissatisfied. Would like to avoid this joint in the future and find a better sports bar or Italian restaurant.
Warning — do not order the veg pasta

OK, so I went to Boston pizza to watch the last set of UFC fights. It wasn’t busy when we got there so we got great seat, right in front of the TV. We had to pay $ 10 cover to get into the lounge but that is pretty standard throughout the city.
Our server was awful. Not only was she slow, but she was miserable and didn’t care about anything. When she dropped something off at our table, she dropped it and ran so we couldn’t ask for anything else. It’s not like we were a high maintenance table either! There were 5 of us and I think over the course of 3 hours, we had a few appetizers and a total of 8 drinks. And believe me, it was hassle to even get that.
Our nachos were very small. We split them between 3 of us and we were all still hungry after. They were about a third of the size of the nachos at Hudson’s.
I was very disappointed in the service we got here. It was a horrible experience and it really ruined the night for everyone.

If you’re looking for a place to grab a lunch in the Whyte Ave area, try the Boston Pizza. You’d think it would get packed, but it has been virtually empty every time I’ve gone there for lunch. Service is fast and friendly. The staff seems bored with not much to do, so you get fantastic and really personal service.
I love the pizza and the beer’s cold. There’s a downstairs which is darker and soothing to the eyes if you’ve been under fluorescents all morning. Or the upstairs is a good option, full of sunlight and more loungey feeling.
You can usually find two hour parking on 83 Ave., just north of the Boston Pizza and three minute walk from the restaurant. You can have a longer, more leisurely lunch and then head back to the office without having to beat the crowds or wait hours for your bill.

If I’m out late with my friends and we happen to be in the Whyte Ave area, we go to this Boston Pizza. It’s open late til 2 am, and the service here is always friendly even at that hour.
I know the food at BP’s is nothing special and rather generic, but I like knowing that when I come here, I can expect the same quality of comfort food like lasagna and chicken wings. The lasagna has always been my favorite though, and I actually prefer it over their pizza. It’s cheesy and has lots of sauce, and you can opt for the kind without the meat if you want.
I like that they play fun songs too — there’s fewer things better than licking chicken wing sauce off your fingers while humming to Elton John’s «Benny and the Jets», at one in the morning. The price is pretty good for the amount you get too; I usually can’t finish what I’m eating. I also like that the staff don’t rush you, even though it’s pretty late. They’ll just give you a heads-​up when the kitchen is closing. But it’s a very laid-​back atmosphere, and they welcome you at any hour.
