  Great family-run pizza spot. We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night after passing by the scene on Lonsdale Ave - we were looking for something a little more casual (and cheaper).
  
  This spot is semi-self-service - order at the counter, grab napkins, cutlery, glasses of water, and wait for pizza to be ready. We sat at one of the big tables (which felt like someone's kitchen table) and enjoyed our beers while waiting for pizza to be ready (about 20 minutes, which we were told when we ordered).
  
  We had a medium pizza (#6, pepperoni and ham) and thought it was great. Good size, I think 8 small slices. The pizza is on the thicker side, and I found it pretty salty, but the meats were good quality and I really liked the crust. Definitely a nice place to go if you're looking for a good quality but casual dinner!

  Very disappointing experience ordering delivery from this pizza joint. We were told that the pizza would take an hour which we understood, it was a busy evening. Once the pizza arrived well over an hour later it was cold. The pizza itself was supposed to be a large. It seemed more like a medium. The toppings were very scarce. The pizza tasted bland and boring. I called the store to advise that the pizza was terrible. The store manager explained that it was a busy night and we were the last on the queue for delivery. The manager told me that he would have the owner call to discuss my complaint. This never happened. Hence the yelp review.
  It amazes me that this place has operated since 1971, and people actually like the quality of pizza. We spent $42.00 with tip for a bland / undersized / cold pizza. Save your money folks and find a new joint.

  I was going to give this place 3 stars.  The pizza is decent and they have a potato pizza, which most places don't.  However, it's a bit expensive for what you're getting.  Moreover, they got the order totally wrong and there was no reason for it other than he actually disagreed with my choice (more on that in a bit), or he was so distracted by chit chat that he forgot.  
  
  We came in an ordered the potato pizza (I can't recall what it's actually called).  We were the only ones in there and as far as I could tell, they didn't have a backup of pizza's being made as everybody in there was upfront.  When I stated that I wanted NO onions whatsoever, the older guy said something along the lines of "no onions? This pizza needs onions!"  I said NO onions!!!  I can't stand them.  To the point that even picking them off leaves the nasty onion taste on my food.  They also don't sit well with my stomach.  So no... NO onions!  I feel that onions are a pretty common food for people to either love or hate.  So this shouldn't have come as a surprise.  We were in a hurry.  So when we picked up the pizza and got back in the car.  We opened it... and guess what.... ONIONS.  Not just a few either.  We had no time to go back and have them remake it.  I didn't eat the pizza myself even once the onions were picked off as it's all I could taste.  But nobody else that was eating the pizza liked onions either.  Just seemed like a simple direction and then it seemed like he took "no" to mean "extra."

  This is a pretty great pizza place on the North Shore.
  
  Keep in mind the pizza IS extremely oily (not sure why) but the ingredients are fresh and good quality. I've never really noticed the oil bother me, and I usually just grab a napkin and go over the pizza once with it. The oil isn't heavy so it doesn't stick on the pizza that much.
  
  I would choose this pizza place over most in the area (freshslice etc) except for maybe Pizza Garden.
  
  It is reasonably priced (about $9 for two slices) and I think the price reflects the amount of food you get and how good the ingredients are.
  
  The owner (Peter, I believe?) is also the nicest guy. I would come to this place just to support him.

  Couple of the best pizzas we've ever had. Two of us shared a large pizza - half Pollo Dolce (chicken, raisins, walnuts, white onion, tomatoes, and parsley), and half Patate Con Aglio (potatoes, feta, white onion, garlic, rosemary, and peppercorns). Both selections were amazing.  Definitely gourmet style pizza place. Lower Lonsdale.  Good selection of beers to go with their pizzas.  We enjoyed a chocolate infused beer from Deep Cove breweries.
