Pros: The food is excellent
Cons: Price... i bit on the high side.

A group of friends and I ventured out to Boston Pizza on Mountain Rd. It was around 7:00 when we arrived. The dining room area had a short wait for tables but we chose to eat on the bar side. The service was fast and friendly. Our waitress served us drinks immediately and took our orders immediately after. During the evening she checked back a few times to see if we needed anything and removed plates promptly as we finished our meals. When we were all finished she quickly returned with our checks and took payment so that we could leave.

On this particular evening this area (the bar side) of the restaurant was about 50% full. The noise level was very low. I am sure that when this place is packed it would be a very different environment. Being set up as a sports bar, there are lots of screens around so that you can keep an eye on whatever sports game you choose.

On this visit I ordered the Tuscan Pizza. Unfortunately there was no spinach. I can't fault them for running out because that was not the case. The E-coli tainted spinach problem is still ongoing and so they opted to not risk poisoning their customers! The waitress assured me that my pizza would still be just at good as it would with spinach so I did not change the order. Other menu items were simply not available because of the spinach problem (e.g. Spinach and artichoke dip). In the end, I got a piping hot pizza that tasted fantastic. Next time I order the Tuscan pizza I might ask them to hold the spinach!

My individual sized pizza cost just over $10. Had I been hungry it would not have been enough and the small pizza would have cost just over $14. I tend to find that Boston Pizza in general is a bit pricey for what you get but the food is really good. On the other hand their pizzas are not typical of what you will find at any other pizza joint in Moncton thus the bit extra you are paying for the pizza is worth it.
