Boston Pizza

My experience at this Boston pizza was good. I went in during a Thursday afternoon and there was no wait time. The service was good and our food came out in 10−15mins after our appetizers. There was nothing wrong with the food it tasted good like it normally does at any other Boston pizza.

They get a 3 star from me solely on the wait time for the food. We came in for a quick lunch today and the lounge was dead. Other than us, I counted 6 other people. I ordered a half salad and my husband got some boneless wings (not something that takes a long time to cook). We waited a looooong time. Long enough to that we thought about putting money down for our drinks and just leaving. It finally came out and the food was good. Typically Boston pizza food we’ve all had over and over. Our waitress was pleasant and this was not her fault.
The bar was clean and they had lots of advertising for cheap drinks and food, especially on game days! BP’s is definitely the place to go for sports or with the kids.

Great food. Came quickly, servers were great. I’ll be returning again :)
Had the 10oz Striploin steak and it was medium rare as asked

I just got a pizza delivered (rustic italian — my favourite out of any chain pizza place) but am surprised by the rating and service complaints at this location. Maybe I think this is a better one because it surpasses the Chinook location with leaps and bounds. The wings on wing night at this location are always crispy and hot.
The waitress that I get when I go in once a month or so remembers I drink dark rum and coke, and my friend has a soda water with lime wedge. For only the occasional diner, that’s pretty damn good.
If you’re looking for a sports bar with good eats, I recommend this BPs, if you’re looking for amazing pizza on the cheaper end of the spectrum, there are plenty of independent pizza joints — some with real fornos — in town.
Apparently if you sign up for their website you get a free bandera bread on first your online order. I think that might be their version of crazy bread. I have to say — I did not redeem the offer, if its like crazy bread, it would have ended up in the trash.

Pretty standard experience here. Its BP’s so you pretty much know what to expect.
On this trip I tried a few new things. They have a decent cocktail selection so you can get something a little off the beaten path. Their sticky ribs were ok. The pizza was good but could probably use more cheese.
The service was meh, just like every other location.

Came here on a Tuesday night with the man as we were out and bout running errands. Low and behold it was pasta night! So the over priced pasta was actaully on for a more resonable wallet friendly deal.
We were seated promtly and told our waitress would come over shortly. We ordered our drinks and looked over the menu. The dining room was fairly empty with only a handful of tables taken. Not sure how busy the louge side was but we were informed that the bartender was slammed and it would be a bit longer for our drinks. Ok not a problem so we ordered. We wanted teh sticky ribs to start as that was a feature item and though hey way not try something different. We weren’t sure as to which flavor we wanted to try and asked the waitress for her opinion. Well that was a miss as it seemed like she had never tryed any of the flavors. So we went with jack daniels bbq flavor. When the rib came out they looked pretty decent. What looked like a tastey bite of meat was none other then a almost flavorless hunk of meat on a bone. OHHHH and to make matters worse the side plates we recieved still had someone elses hunk of meat on it… super sad face :(
The bacon chipotle penne was aveage nothing award winning. When it came out they either forgot my garlic bread or didn’t time it right as i got my pasta dish and was told to start on that while my garlic bread was on the way. I’m thinking maybe there was a lot of new people working that day.
Overall it was a meal that filled me up but I knew going it won’t be memorable.

One of the worst BP’s in Calgary. No specials, food is not cooked very well, and they refuse to do any modifications. My wife ordered a Gluten free pizza and she asked for a different sauce and was warned it was not gluten free, fine okay I get that. They refused to switch the sauce siting it is against policy and they could be sued if Roz had an issue with the gluten. It was bizarre; my wife orders the same thing every time and only this BP’s had a problem.

Writing a review for Boston Pizza is like writing a review for a McDonalds — but in this case that’s justified by this particular location being our team’ after office spot.
I think they are good for what the franchise is. Reasonably friendly and useful servers, solid — though obviously plain standard — menu.
Food quality is nothing to talk about, but it is well done and don’t fail the expectations. Interior, overall feeling inside the place is totally a chain thing.
Would I invite someone specifically to try Boston Pizza? Not much more probable that I’d invite someone to McDonalds — however this particular location is a totally ok place to go, I have no problems with it.

«With a group this large, someone is bound to get forgotten and left out. Bet you anything that person is going to be me.»
Yeah. I know not to expect much from Boston Pizza. It’s one of those «we like to cover our bland food with cheese, fat and garlic» places that I tend to avoid, because usually the only lactose-​free dish I can get here is a big pile of lettuce-​y yuck. But I came here, because I was invited to a Ladies Brunch with some very nice ladies. Fourteen, to be exact (and two little girls).
When we sat down, I ordered a V8, because I’m savvy enough to realize that I was probably going to get my food last and would need something to tide me over. Something about ordering food with things left out; tends to gets bored kitchen staff that is used to mechanically plopping ingredients on a plate all nonplussed. What do you mean you don’t want cheese on your pizza? Crazy pills. You are on them. The V8 arrived insipidly warm, despite the ice that was thrown in the glass.
But, a cheeseless individual pizza and yam fries is what I ordered. The waitress told me that there was no lunch deal on Sundays for sides, but I asked if I could get fries anyway and just pay the extra $$$; she said, «sure, no problem.»
Twenty minutes later, orders slowly started to come out, and when I looked up expectantly, the waitress apologized and told me that they had accidentally put cheese on my pizza and they were making me a new one. She said that it would be discounted on my bill, and in the meantime, I could «snack on the cheese.» Er… pass. I told her that I was lactose intolerant (which, after years of being vegan, is true. My body no longer produces the enzymes necessary to break down dairy products), and she nodded and disappeared.
Meanwhile, my drink glass was empty and she never bothered to offer a refill (which I would have been fully aware was not free, but I think I should’ve been offered one anyway), or a glass of water. Five minutes later, she came back, and told me the pizza would be a few more minutes. Ten minutes later, a flavorless heap on dough arrived. A few minutes later, when the waitress came back with the water glass I had to ask for, I asked when my fries were coming out.
«You don’t get fries. Remember? There’s no deal today.»
«I’m aware, but I asked if you could just add it on anyway, and that I would pay for it; you said that was fine.»
*Insert frozen, awkward smile here*
A different waitress brought the fries fifteen minutes later; long after the sad pizza was now sitting uncomfortably in my belly, because I was taught that wasting food, even bad food, is a sin. I asked for hot sauce that never arrived.
If I hadn’t been with company, I probably would’ve left after it was suggested that I «snack on the cheese.»

Why would anyone Unilocal about BP?
After all, everybody must be well familiar with this franchise.
BP has always been a hallmark of mediocracy, but at least they now have a gluten free menu.
That’s what makes the difference for me.
For now…
Our waitress Julia, needed a reminder to come to take our drink orders after ten minutes of waiting. She was a little aloof at first bit was friendlier as time went on, and there was a lot of it.
Time, I mean.
An hour after arriving I was served my Pecan Salad. It wasn’t bad and care had been taken in the presentation.
I give the salad a 7 out 10.
Another plus about Boston Pizza is that they also serve gluten free pizza!
I cannot think of another restaurant that who has that on the menu.
So big kudos to BP for making the effort and taking the big franchise lead in catering to celiacs. It’s a smart plan to attract customers and build loyalty, ergo also a part of a larger financial strategy:-)
Nothing wrong with that.

We’ve been coming to this Boston Pizza for over six years (our office is nearby), and the service has always been great. We primarily eat in the Lounge when we can, so I cannot say too much about the restaurant side.
It’s a BP’s, so you can expect the same food everywhere… to an extent. I must say that their garlic twist pizza bread is the best we’ve ever eaten at any BP’s…why? I’m not sure. But it is.
We always have a great meal!

Great fun watching the UFC fight Sat night. Excellent co-​worker banter, great barstaff, and awesome waitresses. She really made our night by keeping the pitchers full and also calling a cab for us. She is a sweetheart!

This BPs stands out as only one of two in the city that offers Flames hockey ticket packages. For the modest sum of $ 40, you get a ticket to the game, a ride to the game and back, two free glasses of beer (one before the game, one after) and a hell of a good time.
The seats aren’t the best, in the 300 section of the Saddledome, but they aren’t the worst either. We were at centre ice and high enough to see the plays, even if we couldn’t see the scoreboard. It’s a fun atmosphere up there and everyone was drinking that famous Saddledome beer and cheering on the Flames. (We went to see them play the Oilers, so there were equal amounts of Oiler fans). But everyone got along, and we had a few laughs at everyone’s expense.
We didn’t make it back on the bus though, and I figure BPs owes me a beer that I’ll be collecting some night when I find myself back at the Heritage location. But it was still a deal and a good time.
