In New Brunswick, Pizza Delight is as ubiquitous as Irving gas stations. Founded in 1969 in Shediac, N.B., the chain is huge in the Maritimes and is slowly expanding to Ontario and Alberta.
No one will pretend it’s fine dining, but you will always know what you’re getting.
Jason always wondered about the chain that we drove past on our vacations, but I usually had somewhere else in mind for our precious few meal slots. Yes, I often have an eating itinerary.
But he was so keen to try Pizza Delight on this trip that I had to give him that.
Every Pizza Delight looks exactly the same: bright, clean and family-oriented. Jason was particularly excited about the bread bar. I must admit it’s pretty brilliant.
You choose your type of bread, and toast it yourself on the totally dangerous open grill. Then you pick a spread (garlic butter, cheese butter, regular butter — you get the idea), and toast it again.
There’s an obligatory sign about following the steps because of allergies, but really the communal tongs touch everything.
Jason got a nine-inch donair pizza ($11.49) which comes with donair sauce, donair meat, pepperoni, onions and tomatoes. Then he asked for a side of donair sauce. When in Rome…
He enjoyed that the pizza came on an elevated stand with a candle underneath to keep it warm.
I was in a pasta mood so I got a fettuccine Alfredo ($11.49) with chicken. It was baked under a very heavy layer of cheese.
Everything was fine. Hey, it is what it is and now Jason can say he’s been to Pizza Delight.
Pizza Delight, 10 Loch Lomond Rd., Saint John, New Brunswick, (506) 633-8110. More than 100 locations in Canada.
They`re moving into Alberta? Huh. I haven`t had Pizza Delight in about 10-15 years (have I mentioned I`m from Halifax and hubby is from Fredericton?). The bread thingy is new.
We found a donair place in Edmonton- right smack in the middle of the industrial park, so you know they`re after the Maritimers. Simon King Donair at 51 Ave and 99 St. Nothing fancy, but fresh hot fries to have with and lots of traffic so the meat is not dissicated.
we used to have a pizza delight back home in collingwood and it was my favourite place as a kid! they closed to make way for a pizza hut (boo), but when i was in freddy last year, i made some people take me for nostalgia sake. is the delight regaining momentum? i eagerly await its opening in e-town
Grill your own bread, what a genius idea! Donair pizza sounds good, but there is something about the sauces dripping all down your arm that it’s missing
Steph: There’s a Pizza Delight in Fort Saskatchewan so not too far from E-town. Also Whitecourt and Calgary.
