Always a lovely spot to hang out, catch up with friends, and play one or several of their large selection of board games. Pizza is great, pasta portions are large, prices are comparable to other establishments, but there is no fee to play any of their games. The staff have been lovely, warm, and inviting.

Cool restaurant with good food and a great selection of games!! The Vul Kar pizza was delicious especially with added pineapple. The portions were big and they had a lot of good drink options. It was quite busy and a little hot inside but otherwise we had a great time!

★★★★

It was quite busy and extremely loud. There were only 3 servers with big groups on multiple tables. The server came to us in about 20 minutes after we were seated. Not her fault, just understaffed. The food was good, but it was too noisy for not such a big space. Rating it based on the food!

Wow, this place is pretty awesome! It was my first time at this pizzeria, and it was amazing. I had the chicken heist pizza, which was pretty good. The service was good too. Friendly staff. The atmosphere was excellent. The place is a pizzeria and a game place. You can eat pizza with friends and family while playing a whole bunch of different kinds of board games. I would definitely recommend coming here.five out of five stars. I really enjoyed my time here.

Pizza was good, made fresh from the oven. Tiramisu on the other hand, was not so good. It was dry, I had to down it with water. Besides food, they have a wide selection of board games. We spent hours playing games there.

Great food, pricing & service, nothing to complain about. They have a big selection of board games which diners can use. It seems like staff are not rushing customers out after the meal like many restaurants these days. They used high quality cheese, which we both love.

★★★

One of the few restaurants that also offer board games. Good unique concept for customers to be entertained while eating. Large variety of games to play. The service is quite slow. The servers did not even acknowledge that our water was empty and we had to keep asking several times. In terms of the food, our pizza came out at a decent time. Definitely have a lot of choices, however I ended up ordering a safe choice (Hawaiian).

Excellent variety of games for the whole family. I love going to this place during the week to get out of my routine.

October 22, 2024

The pizza was very bad. The crust was horrific. For the same price you can get legitimate, tasty, Italian-style pizza elsewhere in New West or nearby Burnaby. I honestly don t blame the cooks as they are just Indian TFWs or students who have no idea what quality Italian food is, and who were working hard. I blame the owners. Hire a proper chef to teach these cooks how to make pizza properly. I would be so embarrassed to own a pizzeria and serve this kind of food. However, if you re young, don t really care about food quality, like board games, and are looking for a cheap place to congregate, this is place is perfect. I suspect that s why this place has such a high rating. But if you are used to the quality of Pizzeria Farina, Via Tevere, Marcello s you will be sorely disappointed!

Have been here and ordered pickup countless times. The pizza is always amazing, as are any of the appies Ive had. Good beer selection. Also, amazing support for allergies. My wife has a severe dairy allergy and we eat pizza from here all the time and have had 0 problems. Oh, and not to mention the great selection of board games. Dietary restrictions: All of the pizzas can be made with daiya cheese, making many of them dairy free. Really good support for allergies.

The vegan cheese made the entire pizza inedible. I was very excited to try it but had to throw the pizza away. As much as I wanted to love it, I didn t. I am quite disappointed actually.

★★
August 22, 2024

First time here. The place was so hot that we decided not to order any food as it would have been uncomfortable. Our surrounding tables were also very hot, the fans were blasting on everyone. Our waitress asked us 6!! Times if we were ready to order food . We stayed for a couple of drinks and decided to pay and leave. As we paid our $70 drink bill, the server mentioned to us that the next time we decide to go there we should really order food to support the business we just spent $70 towards the place. She was extremely rude and unprofessional I don t think there s any experience behind her in that industry and it shows. Won t be back.

Pizza is a trip worth of its own. Not cheap but delectable, Italian style pizza made in stone oven, love the crispy thin crust! But this place is known for the board games they stock and they let you play many hours while eating/drinking, great family night out! Kid-friendliness: Its very kid-friendly - if they know how to play boardgames!! No wifi for phone games!

Hate to let people in on my new favorite place for vegan pizza. But this place is a gem. It gets an A+ for really working hard to make good food, and plant based options as well. The service is a solid 7.5/10, which is far better than average in the greater Vancouver area. Most places are okay with a 4/10 for customer service. The wild selection of board games supplied here make it a pleasure to wait!

The pizza is decent, service is fast, and they have an adequate selection of drinks. The best part about this place is there is a selection of board games you can play. There doesnt seem to be a cost for this apart from the meal, though perhaps there might be a minimum. Would go there again!

We have hosted two birthday dinners here and consider it a fun spot to celebrate: break out a board game while you wait for your pizza. The options are extensive. We like the Italian sodas, and as vegetarians are very happy with many options to choose from. Vegetarian options: A full section of the menu is dedicated to vegetarian pizzas!

A group of 6, where most of us shared 3 pizza and the cost. Super affordable and no charge for playing the board games on Saturday night. If not too busy, not restricted to 2 hour limit (if big group waiting for a table). Large selection of games. Super fun hanging out with friends and sharing food.

Have only ordered take out here on 3 occasions. Your pizza is the best I ve had in 17 years living in BC. Very generous toppings. When you order(and pay) for double cheese, you give double cheese! Your pizzas are so tasty and flavourful. My favourites pizzas are the Montreal and Taluva. They are amazing!

Its a great place to go and hang out, play games, etc. and the food is spretty decent (oven-fired pizzas mostly). Dont expect much in the way of atmosphere, other than other tables playing games. The walls are red & mostly bare. Service is... fine. The wait staff usually only consists of 2-3 servers, so if its busy or youre with a large group... expect things to take a while or items to get lost in the shuffle. Kid-friendliness: Very!

Being able to play board games is nice but some of the games are put away so poorly that it eats out a large chunk of your time to be able to play them. Staff arent very flexible in terms of the time limit. Table space is a premium, Id suggest the whole group split a pizza or two while playing to maximize time instead of taking the time to eat and then play afterwards.

Every time my sister and I walked over this area, we would look inside and its always full (except for mornings) but full. So we decided to go and try. It was a surprise when we came in and saw that there are all different kinds of boardgames that you can play when you bring your friends over. So we went and ordered the through the dessert pizza. The thing is that we couldnt stay for longer to enjoy the pizza there because my son got fuzzy and we had to leave before. Honestly, the environment we felt was nice, playful, the smell of the ovens after the pizzas are made give a lot of aromas of wanting to stay for longer periods of time. I hope I can get to stay to play and have my pizza there. The staff is very gently and they try to be as fast as possible but of course I understand sometimes they cant because the place is just full. I loved the pizza I had, 3 slices and I never felt heavy or bloated which I appreciate since the pizza is not more bread than others. I will definitely order more pizzas from here and I highly recommend it.

This place is Soooo good, the pizza was really good there and they have a great selection of games. If you have a friend or Family member who loves board games this is a MUST. The only knock I have against is that the music was a little too loud for the game I was playing, and while I do get that they have to have it set the mood so you dont just hear people saying things while playing but it still made a little more difficult to play. Vegetarian options: Have a whole menu dedicated to Vegan or Vegetarian options. I didnt try any but the selection was surprising Parking: So I would certainly recommend getting there via skytrain, its prob cheaper to park at Scott Rd and take the train for 1 or 2 stops (easier to get to from the Columbia Station if you dont mind walking up hill a bit) Kid-friendliness: Saw a lot of kids there mixed in with the Dating crowd and it all seemed to work, TONS of kid friendly games

Ive been here twice, with a couple years gap in between. The first time here I remember that their food was great and had amazing service. On my second visit (a couple years later) it seems like the food quality has gone wayyy down. We ordered a meat and cheese plate, and I believe my daughter can make a better plate than the one that we were served. The plate consisted of two pieces, each of four different types of meats, along with four pieces of three different types of cheese (cheddar, Gouda, and another). The angel hair pasta I had was pretty standard. Tasted like jarred sauce. Not sure if there has been a change management, but it is not like what I remembered. I will still recommend people to come here and play games with their friends, however, dont come here with the expectations of having a meal while you play. I highly suggest eating before coming here, and ordering drinks while you play.

Some of the worst service I have had at a restaurant. We went here and had to flag down our waitresses to get any service at all. Then they kicked us out after 2 hours where we basically had no drinks due to the bad service. Also not entirely the restaurants fault, however there was a homeless man sleeping in one of the tables near us and the staff called the cops. Overall I recommend going to the downtown location as that has a much better environment and service.

We dropped our chicken pizza in a cup of water twice during a game of ticket to ride. Despite it getting watered down, the chicken pizza was still fire. The board game collection is pretty huge. Theres something there for everyone, but you cant expect a pizza place to have games in pristine condition. Also, the food is good but inconsistent. Youll get a fire pizza one time, but the second time, itll be a bit burnt and taste different; it will still be good, though.

Walked in with a group of 4 right after it opened at 4:30. We got some good seats and our pick of games (lots of options). Tables filled up fast so make a reso or get in early! Food was a bit pricey for the quantity and quality but still good. It would be great if there were some wet wipes or hand sanitizer at the table since were using our hands to eat AND play... Overall, would recommend for the fun games. Bring your own hand sanitizer or wet wipes.

Hit it ! Ive been to this location and the one in Gastown as well. Definitely make reservations or get there early because it can get packed and people play games. Its perfect if you can get it on a week night or a quieter night and spend time with your friends without the pressure of the 2-hour limit when its busy. The pizza was not top of the line but decent nonetheless.

Pizza is delicious since it s cooked in a fire-oven. Plus the boardgames are awesome, such a good place to spend a few hours!!

Love this place. Good vegan pizza :) I fully recommend. I ve only eaten in once, but never took advantage of the boardgames. My only complaint are the hours of operation. They usually serve from 4pm to close. Please open earlier.

My friends and I had an awful experience here yesterday. I made a prior reservation for 7, and was told that an automatic gratuity tip of 18% would be added on for groups of 7+. Which is fine, and I had also seen that on their website. Once we arrived, I let the staff know that we are a group of 6, since our 7th could no longer make it. We sat, and ordered 2 pizzas with the intent of ordering more later. When we ordered, the waitress told us that there was a minimum of $15 per person, or we had to pay a board game fee. All of which, I did not see on their website. We had no problem with it, since we were going to order more later anyways. (On their website, it says board games are free when everyone at the table has had enough food for a meal). We were in the middle of setting up our board game when the waitress rudely put our pizzas over our board (could she have not waited for us to quickly move it?). We had terrible service the whole time we were there, and had asked to have a pitcher of water or our water refilled a few times. Because of the poor service, we decided to not order more pizza. When we went up to pay, the server had told us we must pay 18% tip. When I questioned her, asking why (cause we no longer had a 7th person) she said that if we made a reservation online, then its restaurant policy. Her coworker then said, is that new? Absolutely ridiculous. At the end of it, she made us pay an automatic 15% tip for her horrible service and poor attitude. And we had to pay a board game fee on top of everything else. Definitely left us with a terrible rest of our night as we celebrated my friends birthday. Felt totally scammed and will not come back.

Ive been here before and like before, the food was delicious. However, me and my group were shocked at the attitude the waitress gave us before we even ordered. Disappointing because other staff members were so kind, but didnt appreciate the waitress acting so rude from the start.

I came here a few weeks ago, nice small place! The cheese breadsticks were great! The drinks overall were okay, and the atmosphere was really great although our table was shaky which made it hard to play games. The waitress was really nice but since it was so busy they hardly came back to our table to check on us to see if we needed something else!

Fun place for pizza and board games with a group. Pizzas have vegan options that taste great. I just think the waiters could be more attentive to the clients. But overall a really nice place with reasonable prices!

Decent pizza from a gas fired pizza oven that you can watch from your table. Lots of games to play. A/C wasnt working so was hot and sweaty. They did have a couple of fans set up.

This place kindly warms my heart, pizza and board games make for an amazing combination! Pretty good selection of games, for all skill levels (beginners welcome). Pizzas by themselves are a solid 8 out of 10, not the absolute best I ever had, but consider there is so much competition on the pizza business, I guarantee you wont be disappointed on this one.
