I have known about Mr J's pizza for a while now, but never went. May 16th changed all that. My friends and I were going camping. I tried their 2 topping 10" pizza on our way out of town. Oh my goodness, delicious and with a crunchy crust.. it's now my favorite

March 21, 2024

We ordered five items and 3 of them were wrong . Normally id just go back and ask them to fix it but seeing as i drove from nanaimo because my wife said it was the best . We made the drive, lets just say I’ll probably never go back after wasting all that money. Im sorry but how do you mess up a salad with no mods on it?

Bought two large pizzas , got soggy uncooked dough and little to no mushrooms after ordering extra mushrooms . The other pizza was soggy and tasted like cheddar cheese and tomatoe sauce. It was a taco pizza no sour cream very little ground beef a few lettuce pieces and huge chunks of tomatoes. These are our go to pizzas order the same kind always but for 50+ dollars was a waste of money .

A little disappointed that a pizza that was supposed to cost 16.50. Plus an uncooked pretzel bun at 3.10 cost. 36.00 with a tip. And the pizza was just cheese and sauce. I have the receipt. I wish I could upload it to show how I got ripped off. And they change the total 3 times. To 28.98 with a 6.00 delivery. 1hr 17 minutes later. And the pizza is cold. Thank you for the great experience.

The little storefront offers big flavour. I have been skeptical to try this place since moving here. Im glad that I did though. Got a vegetarian pizza and a cosmos pizza. Impressed by both options. A pizza is only as good as the crust and Mr. J dances on the line between thin and regular style which I perfect. Not to doughy and not to this that it flops over. Also if you like Donaire, this place is one of the few in the valley. Definately satisfied an itch Ive had for a long time. Glad I found this place! Would come again.

The girls working at the front were very friendly and considering how busy they were they ran efficiently. First time ordering here, pick up. The pizza was good, would have preferred it to have a bit more toppings as some areas on the pizza were bare. Not sure if this is the norm or due to the stress on the kitchen.

Surprisingly, great pizza. Do not let this little hole-in-the-wall spot deter you. It has been a few years since I have eaten here, but my personal favorite was the Dracula s Revenge pizza. Not sure if they still have that one. It sounds weird, and I would probably have never tried it if not offered it once turned out to be simply amazing!! Now that I think of it, I think I need to stop in there again and give it another go!

Wow, what a disappointment! It was my first experience with Mr. Js. I picked up 2 pizzas, which took longer than expected. Now I realize why they took so long: they were left in the oven too long and were both quite overcooked, with a dry, tasteless crust. I ordered from Islander Pizza a couple weeks ago....no comparison! Theirs was delicious, one of the best crusts Ive ever had! Sorry to the friendly staff at Mr. Js, but as they say, you dont get a second chance to make a first impression. :-(
