795 Ryan Rd #5, Courtenay, BC V9N 3R6, Canada
Traditional deep pan pizza, slow cooked and made with only the freshest ingredients. Lots of menu options available, including pizzas, pastas, calzones, donairs & other popular items.
Islander Pizza and Pasta is built on a pickup or delivery business model. They have a good variety of delicious classic Italian dishes on offer, ready for pickup on your arrival, and in my experience, a very short wait for walk up orders. Perfect for picking up dinner on route home from a shop!
I am down here from Fort St. John, I was craving a lasagne while the wife wanted fish, oysters and crap. Well I honestly can never say I have never enjoyed a lasagne as this. There was lots of cheese and meat and it was perfect. I am kinda surprised most restaurant lasagne is all noodles. I will be ordering a pizza next time probably Saturday hopefully as good as the lasagne….
Great pizza, We had the medium Canadian with black olives snd green peppers. Lots left for another meal. Will order again
I ordered a pizza and requested NO shrimp. When it arrives it has Shrimp. I call them and have to speak to one of the rudest, condescending confrontational, arrogant man I have ever dealt with. Over seven minutes on the phone discussing a pizza and whose fault it was about the Shrimp. I said all I want is a credit. It’s all good. He would not let up. I can not express to you the level of arrogance, and passive aggressiveness that this pizza boy displayed. If he speaks to a paying customer this way I can only imagine how he speaks to his employees. I have been hearing horrible things about Islander and the owner Cam but never experienced it until today. I am a local, who has been eating island since they opened in the 90’s and can honestly say I will NEVER be eating there again. I hope the pizza boy reads this and stops acting like an arrogant little man.
Islander Pizza 🍕 AND Pasta 🍝 = 😍 12/10 Excellent quality, tasty & healthy, low - sodium and processed ingredients. Hand - made dishes from a locally owned and ran 'Valley business of 30 + years ...what's not to love?! THANK YOU Islander P & P 🇮🇹 and keep up the GREAT work! 🙏💯
My order from Islander Pizza had an error however they made it right by sending out a redo pizza. My husband confirmed by doing a cheese taste test on my pizza after it was visibly noticeable not to be Daiya. Asked for Hawaiian Deluxe Thin Crust with Daiya Cheeze, the first pizza had regular cheese. I called and they quickly sent out the accurate pizza with Daiya. We love the taste and quality, appreciate the excellent customer service.
Enjoyed a Hawaiian Deluxe and a Canadian. Great service and fast delivery. The pizza would be defined as a crowd pleaser. Salty, cheesy, lots of toppings and crispy dough.
I ordered the everyday special 2 medium pizzas. They were kind enough to allow us to do half and half as regular and thin crust. We had them done well done to get a more crispy taste. Pizza quality is excellent and worth the extra money. Service was friendly from the staff and worth the extra wait for better pizza. Unfortunately I am from out of town, but when I come back I'll definitely try it again!
Pizzas are absolutely loaded with toppings, and fairly priced! New favourite spot
Baddy at the front desk
Excellent pizza. Our go to location. Ham and pineapple with shrimp!
Love the donairs keep it up!
Donair pizza is sooo delicious
Ordered 10 pizzas delivered on time and everyone enjoyed them.
Great pizza. Was perfect
I was just walking through this pizza store and the worker yelled at me saying that we don t sell Sushi Pizza . Wow ..what a racist joke
We Love the Dill Pickle Pizza! No one else makes anything like this, its a must try for any pickle lover, the house specail is also our favorite loaded with toppings.
Still the best pizza in the Comox Valley.
Awesome Lasagna, salad garlic toast. Friendly staff.
You cant beat the freshness and amount of toppings you get on these pizzas!!
Yum
Awesome pizza Best pizza guy on the planet Food
Was struggling to get my kids fed on a day where everywhere was closed or short staffed. The employees went above and beyond to help me
This is one of my favourite pizzerias in Western Canada, and I like how they dont skimp on the cheese. Im from Saskatchewan and look forward to Islander pizza whenever I visit BC. Staff are polite, too.
Great pizza. The pickle pizza is ridiculously good. Food
Always great food and great value
Have ordered from here a few times now. Pizza is very good and consistent!
Today (March 3rd, 2024) I drove to Islander hoping to get some slices of pizza The snow storm happened overnight and started to be cleared. Not only were they opened (thank you so much, btw) their pizza is always awesome
Always the best. Only sadness is no delivery before 4. Find a 16 year old Home School COVID kid. They are amazing. Know the town. Smart .but Ill always pick you. Dont even live in the valley anymore.. still call you
Ive only had pizza by the slice there, but its always been fresh and tasty
Best pizza I ve ever had. Excellent toppings, rich sauce, soft yet crispy crust. It was amazing. Whoever just helped me at 1:30 - 1:40 on Jan 3rd 2023 - thank you from the bottom of my heart
Its not often you try something you had never tasted before and its amazing. You must try their Dill Pickle and Bacon Pizza. What a delight ! I was wishing I bout the large, even before I was done. I got home to Duncan and googled Dill Pickle Pizza and no one around here does it. I must go back to Comox.
Very yummy pizza!!!
Mediocre pizza at best! here s for the 25 cents pizza boxes
Usually great pizza. One of the busiest and best pizza takeout places in the Valley. Order ahead for pickup is by far the best deal. Vegetarian options: European Veggie Pizza is very good. Comes with artichoke hearts.
They accommodated a need for a fast order and it was very much appreciated!!
Best pizza in town
Love this pizza.
Best pizza in town.
We like that its local, delicious food, friendly efficient service at a fair price. Vegetarian options: Good fresh salads and vegetarian pizza
The Staff was really friendly. In my opinion they make one of the best pizzas on the Island. We drive from out of town for their pizza. It is a must try.
Had an excellent fettuccine alfredo. The beef donair was also delicious. Delivery was fast and the food piping hot.
Been searching for a good donair close to home... my search continues. Would not get another from this place
Best pizza in courtenay
The pizza would be better if crust was thinner.
The most recent box I had here out of the 3 was they way I remember it from downtown Victoria 15 years ago. Second to none. My favorite.
Crazy good Zaa.
This is the ONLY PLACE I get my pizza now!! Reasonably priced, not scrimpy on toppings and absolutely delicious!! Im not even a vegetarian but the Euro Vegie is my favorite!! The staff here work so well together and always look like theyre having fun so its an overall awesome vibe! Vegetarian options: Euro Vegie is the BEST!!!
I am addicted to the Dill Pickle Pizza. It is amazing.
Always excellent service and food! The pizzas and calazones are usually what we stop in for
Salt and Pepper wings were very salty. Got the Hawaiian punch, decent and filling. Food
Phil the owner is so kind and generous. The way he treated our parents who are over 85 has been nothing short of respectful. The food has always been amazing and myself, my brother & wife and other family members order from here often. Thanks for making great food.
Seriously, the best pizza Ive had in 20 years.
What a excellent costumer service And the pizza was delicious definitely going again Food
Great, fresh pizza. Love it.
Below average pizza and pasta . Poor ingredients and Im assuming fake cheese. This is last resort pizza and would not recommend this place to anyone. The reason I know they use bad ingredients is because when I eat at places like these Im on the toilet for hours . When I have good pizza and pasta this doesnt happen . The stomach doesnt lie and neither do my taste buds . Im not sure how people can possibly give this place a good rating.. sorry
I like being able to choose thinner crust. Regular good pizza, nothing fancy (if there are I havent ordered anything fancy) but good amount of toppings and cheesey.
Fantastic pizza!
Pizza is flavourful and not lacking in cheesiness. Recommended.
Best Pizza I ve had in Comox Valley. Service was quick n easy. Friendly staff
Heavy duty pizza! Worth the cost and ready on time. Layers of toppings. Great crust and friendly staff. A must have if visiting the area.
Islanders pizza is defiantly a must have pizza place in the comox valley. I highly suggest the cannelloni pasta and Italian pizza! The Caesar salad is by far some of the freshest salad that I ve ever had from a local pizza joint. The garlic bread is also delicious.
Awesome friendly counter staff
40 dollars for a large pizza only for myself and my significant other to throw up all night after having ate it.
We have been going here for many many years, always a great pizza, they don t skip on the toppings!!
Sooo the other day I was in a hurry and was out shopping and needed to eat lunch quick before an appointment and saw a big sign PIZZA BY THE SLICE so I ran over to islander pizza and I grabbed two slices of Hawaiian! Soooooo good! Thick slices with lots of cheese! Then tonight I need something quick and phoned and ordered 2 pizzas and wings, came out to 70$ or so. A little pricey but I am down to supporting LOCAL companies. Food is expensive and so is fuel. So if you want a thick pizza with lots of cheese! This is your place! Best pizza in town!
Best pizza ever!
If you ve ever questioned if pickles belong on pizza, question no further. Order a large Dill Pickle and expect a life changing experience. Creamy Garlic Sauce, Dill Pickles, Garlic, Smoked Bacon, Dill, Parmesan, and Mozzarella will keep you coming back. You re welcome! Solid local business worth supporting!
Great pizza!
Very impressed with the Meat ball lasagna. Salad was yummy also. It has been several years since I ate here and I have to say its really good. Next will be the pizza
Generous with the toppings, great sauce, fresh ingredients & friendly staff.
Looking for an awesome pizza in Courtney then you have to try Islander Pizza ..by far my favorite pizza place. Try the dill pickle pizza you will love it and my other favorite is Hawaiian. Plenty of ingredients lots of cheese and a perfect golden deep dish crust make this am island favorite. Reheat on the bbq if you have leftover pizza you will think its straight out of the oven again
It was very greasy and disappointing.
Quality ingredients and the best pizza in town (weve tried many places)! We are happy to drive from Campbell River to get this pizza. Delicious pizza, superfriendly staff, and great prices - You just cant go wrong. Sorry about the empty box picture, we just couldnt wait!
Best zza in the Valley!
Excellent pizza! Love it! Had half pepperoni and half ham and pineapple . Very yummy. Great staff! The girls at the front were very nice and friendly.
Great staff, excellent service, fantastic pizza
One of those young guys in there got way too baked and started chucking dill pickles on a pizza and the world of pizza has never been the same. The world thanks you
First time trying them out. Had the classic and donair pizzas. Very good and would absolutely recommend! Very friendly staff and a great location. Keep up the good work!!
Great pizza. Delivery was hot and worth the extra wait! Lots of toppings, cheese and great crust!
Good pizza.
Good place good food
Its good pizza, but expensive in my opinion.
Absolutely the best pasta and pizza, with stellar customer service!
Best pizza in town. Must try their ultimate. Yummy yummy!
Nothing but 5 stars!!!
Delicious regular and gluten free crusts! Excellent salads
Was advised to steer clear but decided to give it a try anyway since it gets such good reviews in the Valley. The pasta is fine but the pizza is the worst. The pizza was undercooked with the dough not fully cooked in the middle. Also the sauce tastes like a can of Ragu. I ate a few slices and threw the rest away. I felt sick after and the next morning. Would not order again. Not even considering the 60-90 minute wait for delivery... do yourself a favour and order from Panago instead and ignore the hype for Islanders. Or order from boonies, riders... If you want a real pizza.
I had a pizza last night.it was good.
Best pizza ever! Friendly customer service.
You have online ordering, however it doesnt state how much you charge for delivery anywhere on the site, or when you fill out and order and go to check out. Simply that youll be charged for it. Poor design, decided not to order.
Ordered a $50 pizza , everything I expected loaded with the works.
This is a review, of the reviews: Im a 50y local. Their must be some real pizza-snobs for some of these poor reviews. Too much cheese, is that even a thing?? Any complaints about prices are absolutely INVALID: nothing is cheap. And you knew the price when you ordered. You want cheap pizza? Go to 7-11. Islander will happily rectify any complaints you might have. Every business has errors; let them know, give Islander a chance to make good. Copious toppings, covered to the edges. Always on time b/c of the delivery staff. Best pizza since they started way back.
We moved to Courtenay 5 days ago from the Vancouver area, and our realtor recommended we try Islander. We are so glad she did! We had a pickle pizza & the House pizza. OMG!!! Both were delicious. Will definitely order from here again!!
Excellent wings. Soggy pizza. Disappointing! Went back to try again. Outstanding customer service and fabulous pizza and wings. I would recommend this little gem to anyone! Phil is a wonderful small business owner, who really cares about his product. Well done!
Its the best.
Maybe best pizza Ive ever had
Were new to the area and they were recommended by our realtor. Seriously the BEST pizza we have ever had!
We had great, personalized, service. The pizzas were delicious!!
Really good spaghetti and meat sauce with the meatballs. Also had the chicken Alfredo. Both were with salads and both meals were super yummy. The only downer was the garlic toast. Too thick and not very garlicky at all. Would definitely order from here again.
Hands down best za in Courtenay. I recommend the donair pizza.
Best pizza in the valley.
Fantastic pizza, friendly staff.
Omg their Dill pickle and bacon pizza is to die for!! Their dough is light and actually tastes good. This place is the best!!
Seriously. Very bad pizza I mean very bad the cappicola was bologna please guys we know ingredients. Frozen pizza from supermarket will taste better than this. And extremely expensive for the quality again the supermarket frozen pizza tastes much much better never again Charlie
Use to be the best pizza in town. New ownership at some point changed the recipe and it s just not the same. Still good pizza and calzones just not the best
Unlike the big Corp pizza companies, Islander Pizza still knows how to do a pizza right. Tons of toppings, loads of cheese, and delicious crust. All this at a reasonable cost that is impressive in todays quality cutting business models. I can highly recommend this pizza purveyor if you are in the Courtney/Comox area. Thank you staff that made my pizza. Delicious!
Their pizza is excellent. Its loaded with fresh, good quality toppings. The prices are competitive and the quality is great. They have great customer service as well - we were brought the wrong pizza today, and they made the right one, sized it up, and delivered it for us promptly, free of charge. Thanks guys! Its local busines, and you can order plastic free take out. I feel good supporting this business, I order from them weekly.
Pizza.....on point, calzones......on point. Nice work guys!!
Still my favourite Pizza on the island.
Easy ordering and easy pickup Pizza was above average
First time customer. Ordered a Ultimate Pizza. Worth the money. So good and loaded nicely With toppings and cheese.
never have a delivery driver available. dont even bother calling this place.
My wife & I ordered a medium Canadian pizza which we picked up. The girl who took the order was very polite and professional. It was ready when promised and was an awesome pizza. We felt the price was reasonable considering the excellent quality. We will definitely order from here again when back in Courtney!
We just ordered delivery from Islanders pizza and the meal was very good and hot . We had the spaghetti and meatballs, salad and garlic toast . 5 stars from us , will order again thx .
Way way too expensive over $60 dollars for two medium pizzas delivered. I don t think the pizza was that great for that price. Won t order from there again.
Honestly a very good pizza we were told it s the best and definitely pleased. Will be our after chemo special meal very delicious !! The staff were fast and kind a pleasure to communicate with Thanks guys
I am very disappointed with my dinner this evening...i usually order the same thing and it is great....not tonight...I ordered a Greek salad which was fine. I ordered 2 Donairs like usual but this time the pita breads were stale and cold and the meat was sparse ....i have never been disappointed with Islander but I will think twice before ordering again....sorry guys you let me down
At $30 for a pizza I was quite disappointed with the quality. This was a $15 pizza at best. That was my first and last time at Islander
Hour and a half wait for A 35$ pepperoni pizza. Sure it was a good pizza but it s definitely not worth the outrageous price. Mr js has simmilar pizza for half the price.
Baked spaghetti and pizza
Very good pizza best in town
Delicious
Our first time ordering pizza from here, the guy who delivered was very nice and after he realized it was out first time ordering he asked how we liked the new online menu and asked our input. Everything was great! Service and food! Then i open my door to seeing our driver had put in 10% off coupons in our mailbox. Not sure if it was a manager or owner but we will be ordering again for sure!
Excellent pizza.
Absolutely best pizza in the Comox Valley. Theyre fast and friendly too!
Great pizza from Islander! Lots of toppings and full of flavour. It tastes exactly like a small business shop should - well definitely be back for more!
Yummy!! We order three small this evening to try. All were so good. Great pizza
Its okay pizza, not much competition in the comox valley.
Fabulous pizza.
Great pizza, sometimes takes a little long to get it, depends on how busy they are.
Cant give more than 3 stars. Pizza was ok, nothing amazing but the price is just way too high. We ordered 3 pizzas to try out a few months ago and it came to about 71 dollars and change. I dont mind food costing more money if its amazing, but this place tastes no better than dominos or pizza hut (to me and my family). I know alot of people really like Islander and I would still recommend trying them out. You might like them more than I did. Sadly, this pizza place did not make me want to go back for seconds.
When its good, its good. Unfortunately very inconsistent.
I didnt know it was possible to have too much cheese. Way too much. Smothered everything into a big soggy mess, not good. However I see potential. Less cheese would be a good start.
Solid pizza
Great yummy pizza
Amazing food and at such great value!!!!!! Delicious!!!!
Great pizza, awesome lunch and dinner deals
This pizza place is over rated and over priced. Ordered my last one today.
Pizza is ok very slow
Dont order pizza for delevery here. I ordered a pizza for delivery, waited 1and half hour. Pizza got here soggy. 25.00 plus taxes and delevery charges plus tip over 38.00 for a large pizza plus 2 cans of pop. I was contented to be credited another pizza for another day, or I could order another pizza for dinner the same night. Who wants to wait another 1 and half hour for a delivery. Right? I called another day to redeem my free pizza. This time Im told the delivery time was gonna be again 1 and half hour. It was 7:30 p.m. Again I decide to redeem my free pizza on a less busy time of the day and I was grateful for the warning on delevery time. So, today a weekday 3 p.m before delivery starts 4.p.m, I ordered online again with a note for my free pizza. I get a call from Islander Pizza and they tell me that they wont deliver the pizza because the order is under 25.00 the same pizza price amount I was to be credited for plus taxes and so on. Finally the supervisor tells me that, they wont profit from my order so they wont deliver. Really? Never again. Thought it would be nice to support a local business. Very dissatisfied customer. M
Picked up a fave pizza tonight. Was delicious, as always. it was a bummer to find a 6 inch hair baked into my husbands 2nd piece. Also wanted to comment on the fact that one of the workers was filling up the olive bin bare handed and seemed to be playing with the olives.. (maybe it felt good.) I think that may be a sanitation issue? The prep is in plain view of customers, so perhaps be mindful of the handling of food, and how it looks to the general public. I can just be thankful that our pizza didnt have olives on it to go along with the hair. I am sorry, but I am not sure we will be ordering from here again.
Gourmet pizza place. Pricy, slow but yummy.
We have been ordering from Islander for years. It has been the best pizza in town until today. Bland, tasteless with minimal toppings. Dont know what has happened, but it is not good.
Great pizza wait time very long though
Great Ma and Pa pizza joint, its a bit pricey but wont taste like cardboard priced pizza!
Wow. Crazy expensive. 2 medium pizzas and 2 donairs $77 What a rip off And the driver penned in $5 for delivery
Best pizza ever
the people that worked there were nice and helpful and i got my pizza very fast
I love pizza, and would eat it every day if my wife would let me. Had the Canadian with jalapeño peppers yesterday, and I think it s the best pizza I ever had. But I thought that a couple of weeks ago when I had the Hawaiian Punch pizza.
I accidentally ordered the wrong pizza thinking the pepperoni classic would be just pepperoni, even though the error was my fault they were happy to exchange it. Great place.
Incredible pizza and the crust is perfection!
Good fresh pizza
$13.65 for the tiniest donairs Ive ever eaten. Look like two slices of beef little bit of onion. Took me 2 minutes to eat it. What a joke. Last time going there. Couldnt even get a napkin
Islanders is definitely a great choice for pizza usually a company like islanders is usually a grade above the quality of pizza you re receiving from a mass produced fast pizza chain who generally always guarantees over abundance of grease. That follows a strict menu and recipe to get it to ya in under 20mins. But we re is the family owned pizza place that still gets ya 2large with half a dozen topping made from scratch for under $25 after taxes the kinda pizza place were the grand ma had the secret recipes
Best pizza in town
Not really a pizza expert but I do like lots of flavor, this place delivers
Some of the best pizza in this town
Best pizza in the valley !!
BEST Pizza in town, hands down... Well that was then but have been there many times recently and everytime an issue. last time was last straw..waited an hour and still came home with wrong pizzas. horrible service
After a day of skiing our two families ordered several pizzas from Islander Pizza. These pizzas were almost the best I ve ever had, definitely the best I ve had in the past 20 years. Everyone in our group, ages from 5 to 65, agreed these pizzas were thick, delicious, not soggy, not salty, and they were loaded with fresh toppings and delicious cheese. You get what you pay for at Islander. I will definitely be going back after every skiing vacation.
One of the best pizzas in the Valley and worth every penny.
I ordered pizza for a meeting. The delivery guy was polite, smiling, cheerful and the pizza was hot and amazing! Thanks Islander!
I like that its not a big huge chain. Pizza was ready when I was told it was going to be (I ordered over the phone and picked it up). It was pretty tasty for a GF crust.
Absolutely the WORST pasta I ve ever eaten. The sauce was tasteless and sparse. So disappointing. I ll never order from there again
Great pizza. We dont order from anywhere else because big chain pizzas just arent as good.
This is a half decent pizza place. My only argument is their website. I love ordering my food online and thinking your getting a pepperoni pizza and then getting an all dressed pizza because the online ordering system looks like it came from 1990 is very frustrating. The site needs a complete remake to make this a fan favorite.
My boyfriend mentioned this place. Now i always get my pizza here.
great pizza but they dont get enough business so theyre a bit too pricey
Delicious pizza and. Fast
One of the best places to get pizza in Courtenay. It s kind of expensive but always really fresh with lots of toppings.
One of the best Pizza joints in town....however they are not consistant...some nights are bloody horrible....others are outstanding.
It was recommend by some friends, pizza was great with lots of topping and cheese. I have been back a few times and have not been disappointed. :)
Excellent pizza and pasta. More pricey than others, but worth it. Check out the daily specials, to get more for your buck.
Food was as awesome as always
Always great pizza, calzones and chicken wings. Service is always excellent and smooth running.
Was very busy at 6:45pm the staff was working hard making delicious pizzas
Nothing spectacular. The staff inside seems very disinterested with their jobs, pizza is about average, wings were ok, again average. The delivery times are always an hour and the delivery charge is higher than youd expect from a place that doesnt contract the deliveries to another outfit. They add the delivery as a tip on the bill, a clever way to avoid taxes I guess, I found that a bit odd.
A generous amount of ingredients on their pizzas.
