Pappa’s Family Restaurant

This place is an awesome Italian restaurant. Huge restaurant and the portions are a great size. I love the food. I would give this place a 10.10, Great service and great food! I have went to this place since 2014. The other reviews are maybe a different owner.

I’ve been here over 30 years ago. It was the very first Boston Pizza. In the late 90’s it was purchased by the current owner. I remember my hockey team was sponsored by the Boston pizza that was here so I thought why not stop in while strolling down memory lane and have a bite. I ordered a small pizza. Ham, pineapple, mushroom, tomato cooked, black olives. My goto favorite. The amount of topping they put on was perfect. And the crust is perfect. Also to mention the chef cooked the pizza perfectly. A lot of times you must order this pizza well done due to all the toppings but the chef was on point and did it perfect. Prices are very reasonable. The interior is not fine dining but hey who wants that when they grabbing some pie with the family right.

After getting a flyer in our mailbox we thought we would give it a try and order some takeout. We placed our order over the phone and the man taking the order was very nice and professional (which is why they get 2 stars).
When I went inside to pick up our food I had to wait for a while for someone to even acknowledge me.
When someone finally came to see me I said it was for pickup and the lady made me stand to the side saying: «I don’t know where it is, wait there».
She then proceeded to seat families that had walked in after me and check out people that also showed up to the till after I did.
All that before asking anyone about my order.
When eventually everyone else had been taking care of, she peeked in the back and asked about my order to which the man replied it was sitting right there on the counter.
We get our order and go home.
Maybe good food would redeem them, well unfortunately … no.
Bland and greasy is about all I can say.
Not even any hope for a second chance, ever.

I had not been here for a year or so but was extremely disappointed when I did return.
It took a long time to be seated despite having only 3 tables with customers. The Waitress took her time taking our order then continually disappeared.
When the food finally came the hamburgers were poor quality and so greasy that I chose not to eat more than 2 bites.
When we tried to complain the waitress disappeared into a bathroom and did not return.
We finally went up front and got some one from the kitchen to come down and give us our bill. He disputed our claim of the food and said no one ever complained despite our plates being more than half full he would not give a discount when we asked what was up with the waitress he said they had been really busy earlier.
An easy pass on my list of local restaurants.

Pappa’s is wildly overrated and equally overpriced. Don’t bother.

This is a good little place and would be a decent, but not fancy, place to stop before a hockey game or concert at Rexall Place.
It reminds me of what one would have found in a smaller city about 10 — 15 years ago. Basic, but good, pizza, and steaks and a few other things. I think the steak sandwich is one of the better value items on the menu. The Pappa’s Burger is quite wonderful, if a little over-​sized, with 2 patties, mushrooms, onions, bacon, ham and a few others things
Avoid the salads.

If your in the mood for hearty home cooking papa’s is exactly what your looking for. Do not get this place mixed up with any other papa’s resturant, its not part of a chain.
Papa’s is has a lovely sit down resturant area, they also deliver almost there whole menu or you can call ahead and pick-​up your food on the way home from work.
There pizza is simple and delicious, there is no fancy pizza flavors just your basic pizza’s and a few of there special pizza’s, but they are all awesome! The pizza crust is like no other pizza crust i’ve had, its a wonderful change from the norm!
They also have a variety of other food items like salads, donairs, sandwiches, pasta dishes, even steaks all that they will deliver to your door (if your within the delivery radius). I am not a burger fan but there Hawaiian burger or Canadian burger is just to DYE for! and there lasagna is awesome!
Basically what i’m trying to say is that everything i’ve eaten from papa’s (and that’s pretty much everything since i order from there at least once or twice a week) is a delicious and healthier option to the usual take out place and more variety!

There is a Pappa’s in just about every Edmonton neighbourhood. Sure, it will have a different name, but the atmosphere will be that of a mom and pop steak and pizza house, and the menu will contain the usual variety of pizzas, sandwiches, appetizers, and burgers. The pizza will be loaded with toppings and cheese, while the other menu items will be decent — not necessarily the highest quality in the world, but freshly made and of a good portion.
Pappa’s is located in the Beverly area. While certainly not a destination, it is a great place to head if you are in the area and crave some comfort food. The pizza is excellent and comes in a small personal size as well as ones suitable for sharing. There are a lot of independently-​owned steak and pizza joints in this part of town and I am not sure how Pappa’s compares, but I have certainly experienced this kind of restaurant in other parts of the city and it definitely makes the grade.
