Ordered a pizza cost Almost $60. Open the box before leaving and I was blown away at how disgusting the chicken on it looked and how thin It was. My son had one bite spit it out. I brought it back to the front and asked if this is normally how their pizzas look and I wanted a refund. So the girl goes and gets her manager. We only use premium products on our pizza she says. I said well, where are you getting your products from because it doesn’t look very premium to me. Anyways she stared at me, basically wouldn’t give me a refund so I’m trying not to make a big scene. Not a thing was offered, after wasting my time waiting with my child, to make it right. I said, forget it and was about to leave but I wasn’t gonna get ripped off like this. So I walked back to the front, put the pizza down and said I want to refund. Cmon this pizza is worse than a Little Caesars hot and ready. She tried to give me some excuse instead of refunding me, and I said I don’t wanna hear it. I wanna refund. It’s getting awkward at this point clearly this woman doesn’t want to admit that this pizza was made beyond poorly. So if you like overpriced, Paper thin pretty much burnt pizza, oh and being treated like you’re nothing, then go right ahead and waste your money here. I’ll never return to this place. What a joke. You have changed this interaction to fit your narrative. Not once did he swear you or staff. So you are calling my husband/customer a liar? He clearly stated he was not swearing at you or your staff. Before you try and make this look like your the victim maybe reverse the roles. if you were trying to return something and a manager dragged it out in front of other customers continuing to ask what’s the problem and giving excuses rather than just saying sorry sir let me return that for you and give you your money back…… how would you feel in that circumstance? How would you feel being belittled in a scene of in front of others? he said you made him feel uncomfortable. You made him feel like he didn’t want it even return it because he felt you were gonna continue to make excuses of why your prices are $60 for a large pizza. Before calling people liars maybe put yourself in the other person shoes and see how you would feel.

Bought two medium pizzas and two iced coffee drinks. Was shocked to find out that the cost was $85! That’s $30 each for two medium pizzas! That’s giving $10 for each drink, still a rip off. Not only that but each one had sloppy toppings and super thin crust. What happened to the delicious fluffy, topping loaded pizza Forbidden had years ago? Is there new management? I didn’t order thin crust, if I had there wouldn’t have been any crust left. It felt like such a rip off. Not to mention that the covid set up felt cold and impersonal since you had to yell through a microphone to be heard by the person taking the order. Unfortunately my family was camping several minutes away so it felt like a waste of time to return it. It was embarrassing feeding that to my family.

I only bought a single piece of pizza from the warmer while driving through. Taste was good however the price was high. $5.25 for a single slightly oversized piece of pizza. Was disappointed at how high the price was. $10.50 for two pieces. I would have got two if it was a bit less $. Staff was friendly and service was prompt.

My girlfriend picked up a large pizza the other night as we were excited to try this place. But when I saw my statement that a large pizza cost nearly 50$ I was flabbergasted. For that price the pizza was so not worth it. I am so disappointed in the price. It feels like they’re taking advantage of being in a rural area. I understand that supporting local can cause prices to be higher but for what you get, this is ridiculous. Would absolutely not recommend.

Just shy of $70 for a 12 & 14 pizza. 14 pizza was missing ingredients. Was offered 25% off my next order (but Im staying at the provincial park). Wont be back for a second round. Definitely not worth the money. Still failing years later. I guess its my mistake for coming back. Have had failures in black coffee and now a breakfast sandwich. Its almost as if the plastic barrier that was put up for covid stops the staff from hearing what you say. Dont waste your time unless your expectations are low. There is much better coffee from a trailer on the side of the road.

So sad to be leaving a 1 star review, but it has to be done... This used to be one of the best pizza places in town, loved their smoothies. Went it in recently (after not being for years) and brought a friend from out of town, raving how good they were. I felt so bad I reccomended this pizza for my friend and family. The crust was so dry and not flavorful at all, sauce and cheese just looked and tasted so cheap. It seemed comparable to what I imagine you would get at 7-11... The pizza was honestly horrible and would not reccomend. Idk what happened to this place but I wont be returning. We got a large cheese and a meat one, sizes got smaller and product hot cheaper. I will keep going to dominos or panago honestly.

This place is a joke. I try and get a pizza slice for lunch several times a week yet have never been able to get a slice. I ask for puzza and get told id have to wait 20 minutes. That does not work on a lunch break. I will never try and get lunch here ever again. The pizza is not worth even trying to get a slice. Go to jackfnife pizza down the road. Once again i tried to give them another chance cause id love a slice for lunch. NOPE! No slices to be had at 1205PM of course. I highly recomend trying to eat lunch here never.

Terrible pizza it was cold and very dry Definitely not worth five dollars! After a few bites I had to bring it back as The sauce was even all dried up The guy at the cashier gave me a dollar back I looked at it for a moment and Thought it was still not worth it They said it would be just another few minutes till the fresh slice came out so I said OK I ll wait for one of those Then the other lady suggested to give me one of those hot ones and just charge me four dollars! I couldn t believe it! How about replace my terribly cold pizza with a new one? In the end I just got a refund and walked away Not very impressed I heard there was a better pizza place in town :-)

Counter service this morning made me feel as if I was a distraction from the other jobs being done. There was no pizza made so early as eight this morning, so was sold some unidentified pizza from the fridge. Reheated, but since the server was too busy with what she was doing the pizza was burnt. She also brought it to me on a plate when I asked for a box, when I confirmed my request again, I was made to feel like I was needlessly taking up her time. Proper service was desired, next time I will think twice about returning.

We tried your pizza a year ago when we were visiting Campbell River and thought it was excellent. We were back up again this year and it was our first stop for a meal out. The pizza was terrible. It was doughy and didn t appear to be cooked all the way through. What we remembered the year before was the taste and smell of garlic but not this time. We even tried cooking it in our oven but it was still doughy. We probably won t try it again. Very disappointing! Sue and Scott, Victoria BC

Dec 19 2022 5:30pm The girl at the counter has absolutely horrible customer service. I asked how much a slice of pizza is because the sign out front looks like slice 2.60 when a slice is 4.88$. So if I was to get 2 slices it would be 10$ so I asked how much a small pizza is. She responded ugh! It would be about a 20 min wait because we have a lot of orders ... like ok I didnt ask that.. I asked how much a small was. If I am ordering a pizza I would expect it to be at least a 15 to 20 min wait. She seemed like I was such an inconvenience to her. She was huffing and puffing with each of the 3 questions I asked. I ended up just getting 1 slice because she was so horrible. Pizza tasted good but severely overpriced compared to the endless fresh dough shops on the mainland. Also I would change your (slice 2go) sign because it looks like (slice 2.60) Will probaby not go back. Very disapointed.

I typically order from jack knife pizza but like to give forbidden a chance. This is my 4th time in 6 months ordering from forbidden and I have never received a decent meal yet. Constantly pizzas are under cooked and doughy. Also the veggies are cut by a 5 yr old making mega blocks out of the onions. Pasta no better. Ordered spag and meat sauce. Flavorless with no meat.

Im not usually one for frou frou coffee (as I call it) but they do it well here. So far my interactions with the staff have all been varying levels of fun. Good people and good food/drink... what more do you need!?

Completely unprofessional different price on the same thing for over a year pizza is terrible and way overpriced staff is rude good thing there the only place around.later I waited until there were no customers and told the server not to speak to me like that and called me passive aggressive??? Refered to as not 1 of the good customers and not working and then told to F0 the owner should check recording Jan 7 2019 between 700am and 1000am and respond

Great coffee house and fantastic by the slice pizza. The whole pizzas are a little more expensive than other places but they ate heaped with toppings. One of the best pizzas I have eaten.

Such a great atmosphere, full of wonderful workers. Everything is made fresh to order and you can tell the quality and care that goes into theyre work, i much rather get an ice cap from them rather than timhortans, and every time it comes out perfectly! Great customer service, you can call in ahead of time, and they will have your drink or meal ready for you when you arive. Far and few between do you find a place that takes such personal care for each and every one of theyre customers.

Enviroment: small little pizzeria, maintained and doesnt have a clear theme. Staff: could tell they were there just to do their job. Not rude but not to welcoming. Food: I ordered a bbq chicken, what was supposed to be bacon was small fatty chunks of ham and lacked on bbq sauce. Chicken taste like they store it soaking in water.

This is no joke the best pizza I ve ever had, friendly people, good service, fresh ingredients, they don t skimp on the toppings and the crust is amazing! In my experience people don t eat the crust because it s dry and tasteless, that is NOT the case here. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Really great service, very friendly staff and a good array of choices. Ideal for the tourists staying in the area or the parent that doesnt want to cook that night. The store is tiny and how they manage so much out of such a small business is incredible. A great addition to Black Creek and a staple for years. Were always picking up a Mediterranean and Hawaiian after a long drive from Victoria. Well order it in Parksville and its hot and ready by the time we roll in. The store right beside it pairs nicely with the hot pizza. Locals know what Im talking about. Keep up the good work Forbidden Zone team!

This is a great place to stop for a tea, coffee, and add a variety of snacks such as muffins,pizza by the slice,cinnamon buns,cookies, which are always fresh and very good. The pizzas to go are first class and are ready in a short time. Another important thing to note is that a group of Campers from Salmon Point RV Resort walk along the sea shore trail and then stop at the Forbidden Zone for coffee or tea and goodies . Related to this we also stop at the grocery store for food items etc which we also need.

Possibly the worst pizza I ever had..... Very expensive too. Tried to build my own pizza with four toppings and they couldnt figure out the price. Got them and they were very undercooked had to cook them for 20 minutes more and they were still terrible...dont waste your time and money would give them less than a star

Disappointed. Wanted to order a half cheese pizza and half ham & pineapple. Cheese pizza is 22 dollars. Menu lists extra items as 3 dollars per extra topping. This would be 28 and the 2 ingredients would only be on half of the pizza. Man working there advised that he would instead have to charge 30 dollars as the specific ingredients was the same as their Hawaiian . If your menu says 3 dollars per extra topping and you will be having half a cheese pizza, either work to help the customer or make your prices make sense. Why charge an extra 2 dollars on top of everything? It was a lost sale. I have already told family and friends and the forbidden zone is off their list.
