"It's a nice treat if you feel like splurging on a quality pizza. The price is justified because they use quality ingredients and don't skimp out on the toppings. I think it's a great place for special occasions or if you are looking for the best quality."

"After a 18 hr drive from Edmonton to the island including ferry wait, we just wanted a good meal and snooze. This hands down was a great pizza, sauce was so flavourful and toppings were perfect. We got the deluxe and was 💣!"

"Was looking for food at a late hour and close by. Poppa's fit the bill and were very glad we chose it. Best pizza I have had in a very long time. Incredibly generous with the toppings great sauce and homemade crust. All while supporting a local business. When we are in the area again we will definitely be back. Thank you for a great meal."
