Reviews for Peninsula Pizza in Saanichton, BC
We usually pick up our large House Special pizza, but had decided to have it delivered tonight and figured it would be worth the... delivery charge plus 15% tip for the driver. What normally would cost us roughly $30 to pick up, we were shocked when we werepresented with the bill of $58.50 before tip. We weren?t made aware of a minimum charge of $50 to the Sidney area. Had we beenmade aware of this when we ordered on the phone, we either would have opted to pick it up ourselves or have made the orderequivalent to a $50 value. As it turned out when adding on tip for the driver, our $30-ish pizza came to over a little over$67.00. We recommend their pizza for their quality but please be aware of this minimum charge for Sidney delivery before placingyour order, especially as you could be paying upwards of double the amount of what it actually costs. Maybe a note to staff toPLEASE make customers aware of this also when they place their order. Kind of disappointed that I wasn?t made aware of this whenthey could easily see what my order was costing in relation to their $50 minimum. UPDATE: Within 10-15 minutes of posting thisreview we received a phone call from the owner apologizing for not making us aware of the $50 minimum delivery charge to Sidney.She generously offered a credit to our phone number for our next order to make up the difference in cost. We were very impressedwith the prompt response and rectification to our situation, and we have now changed our 3-star review to a 5-star rating, andhappier to do so, because the pizza is always excellent.The management and service, as we now know, is equally impressive.

Only good pizza I?ve found so far North Saanich / Sidney areas. Staff was good and pizza was decent. I?ll be back.
This was absolutely divine, the 'Big Rick' was like a spontaneous explosion of deep and rich tones, with a meaty tornado.... Capturing the magnificent pop of fresh vegetables and tasty sauce. Then we were faced with a new challenger 'Purple Haze' thathas curious strokes of sweet and tangy feta with tomato. Purple onins flying in with a colorful addition to the party and tofinish it off, spinach coming in with a light crispy coating on it.. Read more
First time trying Peninsula Pizza on a recommendation from a friend. I will say it was decent but not what I expected. I ordered... a large pizza on the takeout special; which is great value. The crust had a great crunch and the sauce tasted really fresh. Myonly issue was with the cheese. It was very very salty and my companion had noticed that as well. I don?t know if it?s normallythat salty, but we both were quite taken back and had to remove it from some slices. I would give it another chance if thesaltiness was toned down a bit. If you?re local then by all means try it out but I personally wouldn?t go out my way for it. Read more
This place is Amazing! I was beginning to think nobody around here can make a pizza, then I found this place. Im not proud of... how much pizza I crammed into myself, but Id do it again. And I will...soon. Keep up the great work Pizza dudes and dudettes Read more
Definitely a superior pizza from those living on the Peninsula. After hearing many positive reviews from friends, we gave it a... try even though it is a bit of a drive to their shop. This is a take away pizza store. There is no inside seating though a fewtables are outside, likely used by those waiting for their order to complete. We ordered online and it was ready when wearrived, exactly on time. This pizza shop uses good quality boxes for packing. This is important as it helps retain the heatwhile the meal is in transit. Once home, the vegetarian pizza was removed from the box and placed on plates. We had a good lookat construction and materials before devouring the entire pie. The quality meets our high standards, as did the taste. This isup there with our favourite neighbourhood shop and worth the drive. Price is a bit on the high side. It would be appropriate topay attention to specials and promotions when ordering from this store. The higher price is reflected in the quality of theproduct. In summary, this is now one of the two pizza places on the Peninsula that we will patronize. Read more
Heard this place had great pizza and was the only place I could find around here that did Chicago-style deep dish, so wanted to... give it a try. Ordered the Chicago and another large pepperoni. Both were fine but let me say - while certainly ?thick crust?,there was no way I?d consider it Chicago style. Crust was light, fluffy, and chewy, like a normal American pizza but justthicker. I?d guess it was simply thick but otherwise prepared and cooked normally as they would other pizzas (maybe a bit longerin the oven) and then they add some pizza sauce on top to finish it off. Having had the real thing in Chicago, which is bakedmore like a pie, this wasn?t very close. Wouldn?t recommend. Decent pizza and average prices but don?t quite understand all theamazing reviews - wouldn?t say it was outstanding by any means. Read more
Absolutely Amazing service!! Always so pleasant, Thank you:) The pizza is out of this world, seriously the best pizza I have... ever had!! The only thing that would make this place better is, if they bring back their CHICKEN AND WAFFLE PIZZA, which was themost amazing thing I have tasted ???? Read more
