“ This was the most innovative and flavorful pair of pizzas we have ever had! Absolutely amazing. Loaded baked potato? Sounds crazy? JUST DO IT! This is definitely made with primo low-fat and thick bacon. And the Gabagool (weird name I know but it's slang for cappicola from The Sopranos) was so tasty with the vinegar marinated artichokes and TONS of roasted garlic. Loved them both. We had the regular crust which was VERY well made and wasn't soggy at all after being in the car for an hour. I honestly don't know how a thin crust could have held up the the copius toppings but will try it next time. Definitely coming back. We won a gift certificate with The Zone 91.3 and so apprecated the whole experience. Call ahead to order. It's a hopping busy, take out only place. There were SEVEN people working hard behind the counter. And they even have a bacon weave grain free pizza crust for you keto diet people - it looks like a work of art! And trust me, get a bacon fat chocolate chip cookie. It's next level ”
“ Some of the best pizzas I've ever had - I even come across the sea from Vancouver to eat them! This is what I look forward to when I'm on the Peninsula. Beautiful crusts - regular style but not too thick and not too heavy - perfectly cooked for some great crunch (but not so hard it scratches your mouth). Great quality toppings that are chopped big enough to stand out, and a thicker tomato sauce with some sweetness that subtly hints of cherry tomatoes on your tongue. We ordered the Super Taco pizza, which brought back the wonders of taco pizza when it first came out, back in the 80s or early 90s. Back when it was really good. Mexi-style ground beef on a light salsa base, cheddar and onions baked on their great crust and topped with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. We paired that with the simple Hawaiian that was a pick-up special and it did impress. The ham was better than expected and suited the sauce just right. I got one of the dips to go with that, which might have been the only drawback. The handmade dip did take great, don't get me wrong on that, but it was kind of overpriced for the portion, and I didn't think the portion was enough for the whole pizza. While the dip was a little small, the pizzas were not. The medium fed us well and the large was definitely large, even though it was the cheaper deal. The sizes and the quality of the pizzas match the prices; they totally satisfied me and even gave a good amount of leftovers. So maybe making a four hour trip like I did to get some pizza is a little much (they don't deliver to Vancouver) - but even though the pizza might get cold on that trip home, it works beautifully for locals, I think you'd probably eat it all before the ferry docks anyways, and the leftovers are still great! I'll be going back whenever I'm on the Island and I'll be working through their whole menu. Chicago style deep dish and Boss Lady Veggie in particular; but the different meat loving selections and the chicken and veggie based ones all look great - plus the ability to have them Detroit style! And now that I've heard about the calamari Kraken I'm suddenly wanting seafood on a pizza for the first time in my life (well, second, but I'll let them ask me what the other one was). ”
“ Great pizza! The crust is perfect and the toppings are unique. The best on the menu is the Mac and cheese pizza. Sounds a bit odd but it is definitely worth trying. Make sure to order ahead as their orders fill up quickly. Always ready on time! ”
“ My favorite pizza place of all time. Delicious pizzas with lots of flavor and leaving you full without feeling bloated and the staff is wonderful. I'd go back over and over again. Keep up the great work. :) ”
“ We've been ordering pizza from this place since a long time ago. What I love about this place, is the positivity of all the workers, even when they are working in a fast paced environment. There was one time where they made a mistake in my order and they gave me a pizza for free to make it up, which speaks volumes of the ethics of the restaurant. The pizza are delicious, in mh opinion and many others, is the best in the peninsula. ”
“ Well I guess we just found our new pizza joint. After being given bad service and a run around from the national chain pizzeria in Brentwood Bay, we decided to try local. Peninsula Pizza is awesome! Great customer service on the phone, quick hot delivery and outstanding pizza. Glad we tried it. No tuning back now!! Kudos folks. ”
“ Pizza very good. No idea why such a good pizza parlor is all the way out in Saanichton Would appreciate a location in downtown Victoria Pizza not too greasy and is a good size. Was delivered to one of the warehouses in the area and was great. Would definitely recommend ”
“ My sister and I treated ourselves for the meat lovers pizza recently and it was truly delicious, fully loaded and a delicious crust. A perfect pizza and certainly one of the best pizzas I've ever had and she said the best she's ever had so we highly recommend this place. Great selection too of pizzas so there's something for everyone here. Great staff as well. ”
