Hearthstone Pizza - Port Coquitlam

Formerly amazing, but since the new ownership took over, prices have skyrocketed, portions have decreased, and the quality has declined significantly. I will not be returning.

My family has dined at this pizzeria multiple times in recent years and even introduced a colleague who became a new fan after trying their delicious pizza. The restaurant has since changed ownership and menu, and we wish them good luck in their future ventures. - Kerwin Maude

Only the good that the children who lead the place welcomed me with enthusiasm and were polite. The place was very clean. That's it. My wife wanted pizza for her special meal tonight, so I saw on Tripadvisor to find the "top-rated pizza place" in the three cities. I have written some reviews for travel advisers and about 75% of them are very positive and they are always accepted, but if I are accepted a negative review, less than half of them are accepted... take this for what you want. Let's add a little perspective to the previous reviews. Have our taste buds and our search for a decent meal so far fallen? If it seems too good to be true, it is likely. I'm 65 and I've eaten a lot of pizza in my life. I can't remember a pizza that was as poor as the one I had last night. My $12.50 pizza weighed in a floating 12 ounces {yes, I weighed it as soon as I came home with it} and was at least 50% flour and water. I tried to encourage the teenager to make my pizza that I wanted to have a meal, not a snack, and asked for more toppings to the point that I was embarrassing and he was stingy. That was one of the poorest values in any pizza I've ever had. Now the pizza. Pizza revolves around the bread, and this bread was terrible. It had no taste clearly not fermented properly, and the textures were halfway between a soda cracker and half boiled dough. A good pizza has a little car on the outside. That was warmed. Apparently, her "Faux" brick oven was not at the job. As far as taste is concerned, the pizza was so salty that it was barely edible. The toppings were so economical, the taste was weak. Each of the three pizzas we tried {Fleisch-Liebhaber 'ish ', BBQ Chicken recommended, and Greek} were all too salty and economical topped even if I asked for more. Yes, they say unlimited toppings, but I think they mean 'unlimited choice of toppings'.... the cheese was totally bland, actually, all except the salt was bland. I summarize, three 'wispy' pizzas for $37.68, bad taste, oversalted, served by nice children. Give this one pass and go to subway and get more taste and double food. Respectfully submitted, Doug

The fact that I can put what I want in my pizza. Good location and lots of parking. Will definitely go back.

Let's be clear, this is not a fancy gourmet pizza restaurant with a 5-star rating. Instead, it is more like the Subway of pizza joints, and I mean that in the best way possible. You can choose your pizza toppings and sauce, and watch as it is cooked in the brick oven. While I cannot speak for the quality of takeout, eating pizza straight from the oven is unbeatable. As a self-professed pizza lover, I can say that this place offers great value for your money. It's affordable dining at its finest!
