You’d think with a name like Boston Pizza, our story would begin south of the border. Not so, we’re 100% Canadian. And have been since we opened our doors in Edmonton, Alberta in 1964. We’re Canadian owned (Hi Jim!), we make our meals with Canadian sourced ingredients, and serve over 50 million Canadians a year. And while a lot might have changed since we started, one thing hasn’t – Boston Pizza is the place to share laughs, share stories and share memories while you share a meal with the people you love.

It was great to find a nice place for a business lunch on a Monday. The vegan options were a huge bonus, for our one co-worker. The food was fresh, and so tasty. Service was great, and server was very attentive. Great place to eat!!

Let it be known I love this place! I've been on many occasions, mostly for special events or when family is visiting. It's always a special evening. On this night my friend and I both had the burger which is such a decadent and rich tasting piece of heaven. So flavourful and juicy, cooked to perfection. For dessert we shared the limoncello tartufalo which was so fresh tasting and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The only thing that was a slight let-down was no decaf coffee on the menu. That time of night I can't have caffeine but really wanted a coffee with dessert. Settled for peppermint tea but not quite the same in terms of flavour combination with dessert.
