We drove to the west coast from Ontario and dined in this BP twice, once for dinner and then for lunch. Both times we had a great experience! Food was great. It was served hot, and the service was friendly. This location also has the nicest bathroom! I've been to a lot of BP restaurants, and this one is one of the better. Kudos!
We had a party of 4, 2 of which were determined to enjoy dine-in pizza Boston Pizza for the bill. We drove around town discovering that the majority of pizza joints in Port Alberni only offered carry-out service. The pizza was very good. It was a bit overpriced but his quality.
got take out, french onion soup, side of fries. hot memphis chicken burger, side of fries., kids pizza and fries. french onion soup was garbage, there was no cheese, it was just salty there was no flavour, and majority of the onions were hard/raw? how?. tried my moms chicken burger and it tasted like fish, i always get that burger when i eat in but it was gross this time. they forgot my fries so we had to wait for them, the food got cold waiting for them to give us our fries, defeats the whole purpose of ordering out if you’re just going to mess up. 3/5 stars because this time was bad but when you eat in, it’s good. basically don’t ever order to go, just sit inside
Good service, Nice atmosphere 👍🏽wasn't to busy when I was their, but it was getting busy before I left 😀 A nice chill place 👌🏽 I ordered the Spicy buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese 🧀 and that was pretty decent ❣️ I had extra hot sauce on the side 🔥 but altogether this was a good meal 💯 And the menu has many good options and New options available 😎 So i would definitely be back to check that out ❤️
I had an excellent dining experience here. The place is clean and well kept. Everyone was smiling and very nice to talk to. The food was good, everything was cooked properly and presented nicely. It arrived in less than 15 mins. To me, that is exceptional, especially because of how nicely everything was prepared.
We were here in June 2022 and had good experience in the place. We order the "Big diper" and the "Creamy mushroom bake" (new dish on the menu). I didn't like the "Creamy mushroom bake" it had a dominant taste, probably of one of the cheeses. I ask from the waiter to change the dish and he did it for me with a smile. I ordered instead the spaghetti Bolognese (100% beef) and it was good. The service and the atmosphere were both great. The menu is varied with great selection of dishes in big size. Great place for families.
THE take out was quick HOT fresh and as always the staff was courteous and prompt. 5 stars. That was 1st review. Went last week at 930pm the service was the worst I have ever had before at ANY restaurant. There was one table of 6 and thats all. It took 10 mons just to be acknowledged and seated. A server will be right with you (waited another 10 to 15 as severs brought out the table of 8's dishes). Finally got a server I asked her is there only 1 server on tonite. She said YES. So i order my pop i already knew what i wanted as ove gotten the same thing since I was 10. Small boston royal pizza with a diet pepsi. Waited another 30 mins. It was nasty. Cold my pepsi was long finished as ots free refills I put it on the edge of the table. She never took or asked when she brought pizza. I ate 2 slices and she came to ask how it was I said its cold like room temp cold. Ahe said I brought it the second it came out of the oven. (Lie neen going there since it opened in Port. And before that Prince george and before that fort st. John and before that Duncan when i was a kid) So i would say I know the Boston royal. She asked if i needed the machine or wanted it boxed up I said No just the bill please. Still left a 5 dollar tip and left. Heres some recent pics of outside. Its very Hit and miss at this location. So it went from 5 stars last time to 1 star on my most recent visit.
Went last Sunday, Halloween night, lounge side. We had one not so friendly host, and made it known she wasn’t wanting to help us. However our waitress we had was better service, the best we got was our food, my nachos were great, and not under done. With toppings which was awesome. Thanks to the cook . The four star was the initial greeter and lack of wanting to help.
Luv going here
Perfect place to bring the kids. The staff is very friendly and the servers are great.
had club sandwich. quick service excellent food
Not very happy at all got sat and waited 15 minutes with no service at all.. so left. Not a busy night maybe one of the seven other tables there.
This was the worst experience I have ever had there. Service was terrible. Definitely think twice about returning.
Grear place to watch a fight!
Have been eating here for years never a problem for us keep it up.
Pizza not from the usual providers. Extensive selection with different sizes and borders. Well topped, great tomato sauce, fits. Plus nice attentive service. Good package, well take a look again.
Kid-friendliness: my whole class went here Food : 5/5 | Service
Whats the weather was very friendly and the food was great Vegetarian options: Large enough. Food : 5/5 |
Supergood Pizza
Quite tasty... The salad less so Vegetarian options: Little choice
Waited 45 minutes for 2 pastas and a kids meal. The restaurant was not even that busy, it was around 3pm in the afternoon.
Friendly service from the evening crew, which was much appreciated!
The old was great !! And the young man that served us was very good and personable!!
Wont order from this location again. Ordered take out, took almost an hour. I asked and paid for 2 dips for my cactus cut potoes got one very small dip, ordered a lasagna had barely ANY sauce Not at all happy when you wait over an hr for food just to get shafted
Good food and atmosphere for a casual dinner.
Wasnt the best experience Saturday evening, June 29th. Had an entire Boston size beer spilt on me as drinks were brought to the table. The waitress was apologetic, but no follow up from management. Group of 8, meals took over 45 mins to receive with the restaurant at maybe 50% capacity. Had the steak which honestly, wasnt anything amazing. Total group bill after mandatory tip and tax, approx. $550. Probably not going to be one of my must return too spots to visit again.
Good only when it s hot. After that never be able to eat .
Waiteress literally had no time for my husband and I. She didnt even come back to see if my credit card went through. Very unhappy with the service. Will not recommend it.
4 of us eating. Two appys, a water, pop, anf two drinks.. Was forced... yes FORCED to tip over $10.. I always tip but being FORCED yo tip 18% is just disrespectful to the costumer. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN A BP again...
It took too long for the meals for our 2 children It looked like there was not enough staff Food
We are visiting for a sports tournament and booked a team dinner. We preordered our meals, which they had coming out shortly after we arrived. They did an amazing job of looking after our large group. Many thanks to the staff!
Not impressed. No checking up, insanely rude waitress.
I really enjoyed the barbecue chicken pizza
Very clean very nice place! You get what you paid for and their washrooms are BEAUTIFUL and CLEAN! Its pricey but thats what you expect with a great restaurant
The food was good, but the staff were too unfriendly. I cant believe I was charged for a sauce I asked for my pizza as well.
We did not have the greatest service and the food was not that great for what we remembered it being
Ordered with my son our food shows up and instead of chicken parm with a side garden salad I get a piece of chicken and a plate of salad no spaghetti. Worst service ever. Then the second round of drinks we ordered never made it to our table either. Save your money eat somewhere else
Not very good pizza.
Fast service, food was great. They have the best ribs and wings I have ever had. Their bar makes great drinks. Very child friendly. Kind staff. Dietary restrictions: I believe they have a gluten-free option for their pizza. Parking: Lots of parking around the building. They do share a parking lot with a few other businesses, but that has never stopped me from finding parking. It actually made it easier to get a parking spot. Kid-friendliness: Kids love it there they look so happy to be there. Their kids menu has a good selection. Wheelchair accessibility: They have 4 handicap parking spots right in front of the main doors.
If you like a pizza with no toppings. Blah.
Asked for high chair, did not receive chair had to ask again and then recieved a greasy unsanitized highchair. Received order, while eating I pulled out hair from my mouth I mentioned this to the manager and they removed the order from the bill.
I love the build your own pasta and pizza option. Their food was mouthwatering and tasted flavorful. The pizza was great, along with the pasta.
Many thanks to Kaylee and Brittany for making us feel Welcome and well served while we grab some lunch during the power outage at Sproat Lake on Boxing Day when most business were closed on well deserved break! Thanks for working today, ladies! (Appreciated being able to charge my phone!!)
The staff were really trying hard being understaffed and all. The clubhouse was meh but I still enjoyed the place. Kid-friendliness: Boys got along well here.
Quiet when we were there. Waiter seemed to have forgotten about us after serving food, but the off duty manager (?) ended up stepping up and helping us.
Paying concert prices for a draft beer. Table so filthy you could carve your name in the grime. Never again.
Well well, the pizza filled us up alright...but the real treat was the waiter. Haha he was so funny with all the one-liners he entertained us with. Five star for service, two for the cheddar-bombarded pizza
I come into town for work, this is my Go to, been there 3x in the last week and all 3x this place has ignored me, I m by myself from out of town, I don t have complicated orders usually wings , drink maby a dessert. And all I do is get ignored here, got here waited 10 minute to be seated, another 15 to get asked for drink, another 15 to ask for food, 45 between food and desert, now at 20 mins for the bill. Extremely disappointing especially cause this place is probably only 30% full.
Ordered delivery 2 pastas and a pizza. The pastas were dry with no visible sauce other than what was dried to the noodles. Meatballs dried out.
From what I ve heard from various people, management is abusing their authority. They need to be heavily reconsidered, due to unreasonable anger, their cleanliness and their awful treatment towards their employees. Please take this review into consideration, unlike the rest of them. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Good fryes
Great all around!
The waitress was great but we are sure the kitchen messed up the orders. We watched other tables get their meals before us. 1.5 hours later and 4 hungry athletes
We were 2 families went to eat here, but the waitresses attitude was really unfriendly and unwelcoming. We left without even getting in. Not recommended!
Awesome , great drink, awesome food and friendly staff
Worst service I have ever experienced, we were actually laughing at how bad it was. Finished my beer that cost 12$ and left
Very disappointing! We waited 45 minutes for a terrible meal. Staff claimed they had an issue with my bun! New bun was still frozen, chicken could have bounced off the table, barely a tsp of sauce on bun. Our fries were cold because of the delay, my partner s burger was a charred puck!! Just awful! We will never attempt a meal at Boston Pizza again!
The food is what you expect with some very tasty Pizza and lots of other dishes. I enjoyed the large variety of dishes and also the option to choose several sizes for the Pizza. The service was excellent! I did find the food very pricey for standard fast food. Food
Came in and ordered well done wings and crispy fries.. After a 25 minute wait, we recieved soft soggy everything.. wings werent even warm to the touch.. disgusting. Wont be coming back here And the live entertainment didnt even know the words to the songs they were singing
Food was average except for my wifes gluten free pizza which was horrible. Crust was dry, hard and bitter. Service was adequate, and it seemed cheeky when the bill came that a non-negotiable 15% gratuity was automatically added. Not sure if that information was provided somewhere ahead of ordering, but if so we did not see it. You could not opt out or lower the percentage, but of course YOU COULD add more gratuity if you wanted. Dietary restrictions: The gluten free pizza crust was practically inedible. Hard, dry and bitter.
Went here recently and the barmaid would not serve my wife, saying she was drunk. We had 1 drnk b4 going there. We would have left but we ordered appies @ the same time as the drinks. 5-10 minutes later my drnk showed up and a water for my wife. No matter what we said she would not believe us. . Will never go back.
The service was excellent! Love the atmosphere here, especially on game night. The food at Boston Pizza is typically over priced, but I still love this particular BP. The pizza and pasta dishes are great! Love the Mac N Cheese.
My favourite place to eat in port alberni; the waitress remembered mine and my brothers order! Really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere. Live music was good too! Kid-friendliness: Theres a family portion and a bar area, good to see that because kids should stay kids until they grow Wheelchair accessibility: Wide aisles and parking available
This is by far the most Boston pizza Ive even been to. Food takes forever then its cold and uncooked when you get it. And they dont fulfill their online orders they just cancel them.
Slow service and average food. Nothing impressive
I m usually pretty skeptical about the quality and service from bigger restaurants franchises such as this. But . the service was good and the food was decent. Glad this restaurant is one of the few late night options in Port Alberni I would definitely come back here.
Basic sports bar feel, just a little in the expensive side.
I ordered an extra sauce for my pasta online. When I went to the store to get food, I arrived 10 minutes earlier than the pick up time, but my food was already prepared and stored. I did the same with the last order, but there was no extra sauce, so today I asked the staff to confirm the extra sauce before paying. She asked the other staff(did the packing), not the kitchen, about the extra sauce, and their answer was the same: there is no container for the extra sauce, so maybe the extra sauce is on top of the pasta. My pizza had been made for a long time, so the bottom of the pizza box was wet and the dough and toppings were all cold. After arriving home when all the sauce was mixed, the pasta had a white part because there was not enough sauce. Its not the first time, but Ive been through it twice, so Im leaving a review. And I was very disappointed with the attitude of the staff who packed my food. My request must have been quite annoying and unpleasant to her. I will no longer do takeout.
Its decent and definitely a good spot for a beer and watch the game. Ribs were decent and pasta is good. Several beers were out not on tap when there and it took a while to get a drink at the bar and wasnt too busy but it was a Blue Jays finals.
Personally I love Boston Pizza, Today i visited this location and the customer service here is worst, manager kiara don t even know the meaning of customer service, she was super rude we were group of 8 out of which only 5 were interested to eat here. So the rest just wanted to give us company, we all were discussing why to pay gratuity if some of them are not eating. So we all were discussing that lets take two tables because some just wanted to sit and wait for us so the Host/ server i don t know her name. She was talking to another host/server and i heard the word disgusting which was about us because i was looking at them and they were staring our group, later on the Host called the manager kiara and told us if you take two tables you still need to pay gratuity because you all entered together.. like Boston have policy to still pay gratuity if you are taking two tables???? Let me tell you manager about customer service we three girls out of 5 are GM of food court if you are trying to explain something to customer at first you need to be polite there should no eye rolling and you have to choose your words when you are talking to customers. Soo overall learn some manager skills.. and For host do you know Punjabi?? Do you know what we all were talking for which u said us disgusting? You know what actual disgusting was your customer service and negative attitude
Nice quick service, maybe because of going in on last half hour though sorry was good food
Rude behaviour by managers and staff, smelly food
Music to loud everything else good. No offence to the guy playing but I came to watch hockey and socialize
Was pleasantly surprised by the chicken burger!
Just moved here. Glad we have a BP. Our two servers were exceptional. Food was great. Beer was awesome.
Never had a negative encounter here. The blonde waitress is also super friendly.
Friendly staff and awesome ceasers. I had the spicy perogie pizza and spinach dip
fantastic servers and amazing food quality.
Good food and fun times.
Server was fantastic... great family time out together.
Great food service and atmosphere. Both in the pub or family restaurant side are also very clean and good attention to your needs
Went in for the first time a few weeks ago, they asked me for my vaccine, and I asked for my servers, I got denied and got told do you really want to do this. Just want everyone to know that you should support business who are willing to provide what you provide. If nurses and people cant work without vaccine then no one should be able too
Has some great wings!
It was amazing food was awesome and service was wonderful
Great Service
Very good service
Just your typical Boston pizza. Nothing special....was absolutely dead inside, though.
Excellent service with smiles.. Amazingly tasty pizza. Had a Boston Royal and a Root Beer, which were absolutely the tastiest pizza and soft drinks I have had in years. Something special happens in that kitchen. :)
Waitress was missing. Good otherwise.
Was there on a Saturday just after lunch and it was not busy at all. Sat bar side. No servers were over there, just our table and another table sat by ourselves. Servers barley came over to check on us, drinks were slow and food was slower. My boyfriend said the men s washroom was disgusting with urine all over the floor.
Was great had lunch with a bro was some good nachos loaded up with great toppings
Good portion, good service.
Great service delicious pizza loved the coffee as well wasnt weak like other establishments
The server guys was the best! Dont remember his name but he was super friendly :)
I felt like my table was ignored because of the automatic gratuity that was applied to my table. Drinks were forgotten. Even after being reminded. I will forge a large group again
The staff is attentive and friendly. The store is big and clean. The pizza was average at best and a bit bland for my European palate. But I think people here like it. Bon appetit (My review / view is compared to other places in BC/Alberta)
Food was not bad , service was slow .place was empty but felt like staff never really check on you .
This is the second bad experience Ive had and wont be going back. We sat down and 10 minutes later someone asked us what we wanted to drink. 30 minutes later we got out waters after the waitress helped her friends get drinks who sat down after us. We waiting 3 hours before we eventually had our dinner in front of us. Didnt plan on eating at 10pm after getting there at 7 but okay.. food was super salty and feta cheese smelled sour. Horribly slow service, waitress was more interested in helping her friends and the bus boy was more attentive. They help the regulars faster which is no way to run a business. Super disappointed that this is the only sports bar in town.
Thanks, Sierra and manager for a wonderful birthday lunch! Loved the Boston Royale pizza, the raspberry lemonade and my free brownie. Extremely kind staff! Great atmosphere!
Great experience!!
Good wings and Pizza
One guy working in the bar area taking drink/food orders, and doing a great and fast job at it. Staff is very friendly. Our appy s came in under 10 minutes after we ordered. Maybe we just came at the perfect time but only coming here 1 time while passing through this was a really good experience.
Great food and the waitress was super nice.
The place was half empty and the service was very slow. Ordered two meals. The Thai chicken Caesar was just okay. The chicken Caesar would have been much better without the chicken which was rock hard and dry / disgusting.
Good quality of food and service as expected. Not busy in lunch time.
The fish tacos that I had at the Port Alberni location were absolutely terrible. Very soggy and lacking in flavor. The restaurant was dirty and there were flies. The service was a redeeming factor with friendly staff that were attentive.
Ordered the spinach pasta dish and it was just not good. Server was kind though.
Service was great; food was miles past terrible .
Food was good. Service was good but we had to move inside because the heaters werent turned on
Service lacking, waited over an hour for appetiser, had to remind server for a water which was over 40 mins. Disappointed in all aspects. Havent left a restaurant in years due to terrible service. If an UFC event is happening , either have the staff available or dont take on the extra tables. Being told the min I walk in that I have to spend 25$ and required to 15 % gatunity (Which I always do , small town)is ridiculous.BEing told that the event PPV is expensive and it has to be paid for is cheap , and with having limited staff to complete the work only makes it worse .
Loved it ,, 2nd day in a row while staying in PA. Great staff, great drinks wonderful food. Thanks so much for treating us so well,, you all are doing an amazing job
Really good place for dunch
I have no interest eating around a grossly over weight hostes. So unhealthy. I will never come back.
Great pizza today
Good service, meh food
The food is good and the people are friendly!! We have been back since then!!
Meh.
We went in with a group of 13 at 630, we started with a waiter who took our drinks, then he never returned, a girl Named Brittney took over and she was amazing. Food wise, it took a while to get our food, our kids were starving. And adding tip automatically shouldnt be, but I also do understand.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff
Super friendly staff, good service and good food
Excellent customer service, food was incredible and a great atmosphere for an out of towner. We were there for Music Trivia Night and it was a ton of fun! Had a pizza and I highly suggest it, it was just so good! Great place, with great people!!!
I ve been here quite a few times and the staff is always super nice, the food is delicious and the manager Kayley is so great and very friendly. The atmosphere is always awesome as well
Amazing staff, food and drinks!
Id been looking forward to a spicy perogy pizza for a long time. Consistently great. Could be a little spicier. Convenient location. Quick and friendly service. I had my pizza to go so cant really comment on the restaurant. Feels like prices are a little high - $20 for a small pizza. If you like Boston Pizza and are in the Port Alberni area, this is the Boston Pizza to go to. And yes, my photo has a bite missing. I was so hungry i grabbed a slice and took a bite before i remembered to take a pic. The pizza did not arrive with a bit missing. Lol.
One of the best on the island
Food taste funny and service is slow
It can really be hit or miss at this place. I have been a regular customer for a few months now and the service is inconsistent. The servers are usually friendly and most visits have been alright. A couple times Ive been inside to eat the server or kitchen staff have forgotten someones order usually when there are multiple people ordering the same menu item (eg the artichoke dip, 2 out of 3 arrived). I order through Door Dash quite frequently, and twice theyve forgotten an item. Just recently, I ordered a chicken clubhouse with a side Caesar salad and received no salad, but instead a cup of the bolognese sauce which I didnt order. That being said, I always try to be a good tipper and I will be back because the nachos are fire.
The food took way to long and I m starving
No surprise. BP is good.
we ordered a pizza with extra toppings and they did in few minutes, its been 20 days now but still I cant forget taste, especially thankss to the table server, they always come with smiley face
Good food
Gave it a third chance, after being seated and then ignored for fifteen minutes the time before. When a new table , was served drinks before us, we left! This time our server was attentive but due to being short staffed my meal took 50 minutes and was barely warm. Thankfully they replaced it, and comped my meal, the server was super nice and very apologetic, but like some other Boston pizzas we have been to, hit & miss is the norm.
Bad service, bad food
Very disappointed with the quality of pizza Taste like overpriced store bought pizza The dough seems like frozen dough
I ordered the Pecan salad to go and it was as great as it is when you order it in the restaurant.
Courteous , great service ,
Boston Pizza was a wonderful experience for a late lunch thank you very much
Good service. Good food provided quickly
We had a big group of ten and were seated and served quickly! Thanks for accommodating our family!
Kind and helpful staff, good food.
Great dinner with the family
Great pizza that day
I love going here, it has variety of food to choose from. Theyve been very polite to me and made me, feel welcomed. There food is Awesome!!!
Great place for lunch. Warm atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service and good value.
The food tastes good. Their chicken wings are delicious and I really liked their twisted pizza bread thing. I got a pasta dish both times Ive been, first was the Gouda ravioli, second was there bacon penne... Thats not their official names, but still... Both had great flavor and the pasta was cooked perfectly. Its pretty quiet; they check vaccine cards at the door, which is comforting; excellent staff that didnt side-eye as my teen asked for a million things (were teaching them, I promise). The only downside is Ive gotten sick both times Ive been, and last time my partner and kiddo were ill as well, though not as severely. Thats why my rating isnt higher. Now, when I think Boston Pizza, I just feel a bit queasy.
Bad customer service. Took forever to get someone to come seat us. Then when somebody finally came to the front there scanner wouldn t read my passport. Terrible will never go this establishment again
Ordered chicken parmesan half the order was missing. The food that was delivered was old and cold
fast deliver for a restaurant fallout directions to a T and chillest staff ever
Delicious steak, omg it was amazing
