| - Big fan of the healthy options menu - 5 gold stars for even including this option amidst a carby, cheesy menu that makes me gain weigt just perusing it. And we've got calorie, sodium and fat counts here people - we might not be in Toronto anymore. The only downfall is that the healthy options menu is fairly limited, with about 5 or 6 items in total.
This place also has great drink specials on Thursdays - and because I can't be all work and no play, I ordered the $7.99 3oz mixed drink, and my boyfriend got the $7.99 32 oz domestic beer (i.e. 2 pints). Not a bad deal all around.
So back to the food and service experience. We got a overly perky waitress in an outfit I can only imagine she was freezing in, considering I wore my jacket for the whole meal. -1 for a freezing restuarant. I ordered the individual-sized Spicy Garlic pizza from the healthy options menu, coming in at 650 calories and 13 grams of fat. Perfect. My non-calorie counting boyfriend got another individual sized pizza, the BBQ chicken. When the meal came to the table, both of us literally did the double take. That's it? The individual size should state 'for those 10 and under". For $11.99, I expected a meal, not a bedtime snack, and it wasn't just because mine was a "healthy" choice - my boyfriend's was the same size, just cheesier. The pizza itself was ok, nothing special - I've had better slices at pizza pizza that have sat under the heatlamp for a few hours.
So -1 for the deceiving menu and horrendously over-priced pizza, as well as leaving us hungry.
Forgot the the word "Pizza" in this chain's name altogether, and if you must go, get the prime rib burger. The menu catchline is "if you're going to do one thing, do it right", and they've got that right at least. Next time I go (and I know eventually one among my friends will drag me back here), I'll check out some more of the healthy options and see if I can get something a little more filling and worth the price.
