Peninsula Pizza - Saanichton

Best Detroit style pizza I have had outside of Detroit! As a transplant from Detroit I am ecstatic that they serve my favorite style of pizza. Thick and chewy in the centre and crunchy edges. Highly recommend!!!

Some of the best pizzas I've ever had I even come across the sea from Vancouver to eat them! This is what I look forward to when I'm on the Peninsula. Beautiful crusts regular style but not too thick and not too heavy perfectly cooked for some great crunch (but not so hard it scratches your mouth). Great quality toppings that are chopped big enough to stand out, and a thicker tomato sauce with some sweetness that subtly hints of cherry tomatoes on your tongue. We ordered the Super Taco pizza, which brought back the wonders of taco pizza when it first came out, back in the 80s or early 90s. Back when it was really good. Mexi style ground beef on a light salsa base, cheddar and onions baked on their great crust and topped with lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream. We paired that with the simple Hawaiian that was a pick up special and it did impress. The ham was better than expected and suited the sauce just right. I got one of the dips to go with that, which might have been the only drawback. The handmade dip did take great, don't get me wrong on that, but it was kind of overpriced for the portion, and I didn't think the portion was enough for the whole pizza. While the dip was a little small, the pizzas were not. The medium fed us well and the large was definitely large, even though it was the cheaper deal. The sizes and the quality of the pizzas match the prices; they totally satisfied me and even gave a good amount of leftovers. So maybe making a four hour trip like I did to get some pizza is a little much (they don't deliver to Vancouver) but even though the pizza might get cold on that trip home, it works beautifully for locals, I think you'd probably eat it all before the ferry docks anyways, and the leftovers are still great! I'll be going back whenever I'm on the Island and I'll be working through their whole menu. Chicago style deep dish and Boss Lady Veggie in particular; but the different meat loving selections and the chicken and veggie based ones all look great plus the ability to have them Detroit style! And now that I've heard about the calamari Kraken I'm suddenly wanting seafood on a pizza for the first time in my life (well, second, but I'll let them ask me what the other one was).

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The pizza was delicious with the perfect crust and unique toppings. The standout dish was definitely the Mac and cheese pizza, which may sound strange but is definitely a must-try. Be sure to place your order in advance as they get busy quickly, but they are always ready on time. Highly recommend!

So we FINALLY found our favourite pizza place! Price was reasonable and the food was awesome!! We ordered a large Chicken Alfredo and large Peninsula, both on regular crust. So happy we ordered large pizzas as now we have delicious leftovers! Very good!

I have always believed that pan-style pizza had its limits in terms of quality. However, this place has exceeded those limits. They use top-notch ingredients, a delicious marinara sauce, and the crust is made with high-quality bread from a bakery. Even though they are outside of my delivery area, I will make sure to stop by again if I am passing through Saanichton. Ideally, they should open a location in Victoria!
