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.

Food - very good - excellent Service - great especially main server (Sara). A bit noisy. But it was Sunday dinner time and there were a couple of birthday parties. Also, no tax. Tha keg ( so a bit pricey ) but we will be going back.

I recently dined at this cozy and quiet restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere is perfect for special occasions, offering a serene and intimate setting. The food is delicious and rich in flavor, making each bite a memorable one. Two of my favorite appetizers are the Scallops Gorgonzola and Arancini. The scallops are perfectly cooked and paired with a creamy Gorgonzola sauce that adds a wonderful depth of flavor. The arancini are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, making them a must-try. Overall, this restaurant is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy a special meal in a cozy and quiet environment. Highly recommended!
