Boston Pizza

[msommers]

Shamed to admit it but thin crust perogy pizza is a guilty pleasure I'd eat weekly if it wouldn't eventually give me a heart attack

[jwslam]

The tiny towns I worked at rarely had OJ's...
It was usually Mr. @mr2mike 's casual steakhouse

[ExtraSlow]

Mr2mikes is a great bar to get blasted at. Can confirm.

[mr2mike]

I'm outted.
I'm a great cook and working to take out BP Lounge any way I can.

For Skip we order BPs Hungry Kids pizza. 8" 2 toppings and you get a salad, cookie and a drink for $9.98

[CompletelyNumb]

10 years in the field for O&G... BPs was like gourmet in most places. Call it what you want, it's very consistent, and that dependability warmed the souls of tens of thousands of workers around the province.

I've never gone in Calgary, however.

[Pauly Boy]

Mediocre chain food like all the rest. OJ's is right there now since getting bought out and fucking with their menu.

Eaten there lots though. Peeps are right about every small city in Western Canada having one, lol. Ate a lot of free cookies as a kid in every one running around for sports. Drank a lot there too in Uni since we had a BP's across the street from the bar strip in Lethbridge.

Yeah, I'm not here to fault someone for eating at the only recognizable place in BeaverBalls, AB or Powell River when you're stuck there for work. That's not the same, at all.

Agree^ PaulyBoy on OJ's taking a big step back.

Does OJs allow kids now?

[bjstare]

I haven't been to OJs in quite some time. It used to be predictable, slightly-better-than-mediocre food. Is it worse than that now? How will the Aspen location survive?

[killramos]

I feel like OJ’s has gotten more expensive and the food quality hasn’t kept pace.

If you want to sell me a sandwich for 18 dollars it better stand out from the crowd.

I feel like the local chain is now what OJ’s used to be.

Some do, yes. Not all.

Thinking about it, I don't think I have been to OJ's in Calgary since Craft opened.

I'm not an advocate for BP by any means as my wife hates it and if we go it's because of our boys. I always get the Boston Brute and it gets the job done.

[Doozer]

Yeah, the Brute does it for me too. My kids are 13 & 10, so we're probably phasing our way out of BPs, but when you looking for places to go that accommodate kids, that's the place. You go there with young ones and you know you won't even stand out from everyone else. Plus an order of Bandera bread to start the meal and the kids were happy as clams. Those $5 kids cards are money - 5 bucks each and you get FIVE free kids meals! Basically paying you to go.

It's maybe not the best place in the world, but there were a LOT of nights it gave the kids what they wanted and prevented the wife and I from having to force feed them at home, and for that I'll always be grateful.

[killramos]

They make up for it by charging you 50 bucks for a pizza

[Disoblige]

Costco cheese buns, Italian deli meats, cheddar (toasted in oven with bun), onions, pickles, house made garlic Sriracha aioli (just mayo, garlic, lemon, Sriracha, cracked pepper), shredded lettuce and tomatoes...

Beats any sandwich from BPs. Easy to make and cheaper too.
