Oh Panago it's been too long!
Panago and I go way back. Like so far back I used to get pizza's from this chain in Calgary when they were still called Panagopolous. I've always wondered why they shortened the name. At first I thought that maybe when they expanded into Ontario they weren't sure that Ontarians would be able to handle big words like Panagopolous, but it wasn't until several years after their rebrand that they entered the Ontario market. I guess we can chalk it up to the trend in the late 90's to shorten business names.
Back in November at the October challenge wrap-up party Vivek gave us all a coupon for a free personal pizza for this location. I exercised my use of the coupon today to get my favourite pie, the BBQ chicken. This location did not disappoint. The pizza came loaded with toppings and was just the way I remembered it. Tangy BBQ sauce, caramelized onions, red pepper, and juicy chunks of chicken all held together by a solid layer of cheese.
If you've never had Panago you're missing out. For a chain restaurant, this is the number one joint on my pizza list.
