Uptown Pizza - Salt Spring Island

Today was my first visit to Uptown Pizza and most definitely the last. The restaurant was had a very bad odour so much so that my husband & I ate our food in the car. The counter to order food is at the front of the restaurant near the open doors, so the smell with slight. As we walked towards the seating area the smell got really bad, it could have been coming from the bathroom but there is also a bottle return & a recycling centre next door so the smells could have been mingling. I was not able to seat down but my husband sat down to wait for the food and brought it out to the car. The food was greasy.

We stopped visiting Uptown Pizza a few years ago when we found a piece of a food prep. glove (the full end of a finger) in a pizza we had ordered and picked up. When we brought it to their attention all we got was a shrug. Decided to give them another try recently because their pizzas are pretty good. Ordered by phone for delivery. Delivery took far too long (ordered at 4:30 pm was not delivered till 5:50 pm). Gave credit card info over the phone but the driver insisted on charging at the door. Won't be going back.

Connecting Ferries cutting through Salt Spring. Spotted Uptown Pizza and gave it a try. Blown away by unexpected fabulous pizza in off beaten track. Great pizza at reasonable price, I would recommend uptown.

Nice variety of pizza combos! Crust is light and delicious. Some good options are pesto and artichoke, Canadian bacon, Hawaiin or shrimp.

We were very tired our first night so we just ordered pizza to the room. Two medium pizzas were both good, but gave us more than enough for lunch and a late snack the next day.
