Chicken & Mushroom Alfredo
This creamy pasta dish received enthusiastic praise from a customer celebrating a milestone birthday at the Notre Dame Drive location. The reviewer specifically highlighted both the Chicken & Mushroom Alfredo and Jambalaya as delicious, alongside exceptional service.

Wings receive some of the most detailed feedback among the appetizers served here. One customer particularly enjoyed the range of flavours and preparation options, while another praised the unbreaded wings ordered for takeout, describing them as substantial and juicy.

Customers appreciate patient service and the ability to manage numerous orders. These experiences make group dining one of the location's more distinctive strengths.
Jambalaya Fettuccine Recommendations
Jambalaya Fettuccine receives particularly enthusiastic praise. One customer who had visited numerous Boston Pizza locations considered the Kamloops preparation better than versions served elsewhere. Other diners mention enjoying it during celebrations or ordering it for takeout. It stands out as one of the restaurant's strongest locally supported pasta favourites.
Popular Chicken Wings
Wings receive both enthusiastic recommendations and occasional criticism. Positive reviews praise their size, flavour choices and preparation, with one customer particularly impressed by the unbreaded wings. Other guests report overcooked wings or disappointing promotional portions. The mixed feedback suggests that experiences can vary between visits.
Pizza Quality & Consistency
Many customers enjoy the pizza, praising its flavour, cheese and familiar Boston Pizza combinations. One reviewer specifically appreciated receiving a generously topped pizza after disappointing experiences at another branch. Others report pizzas that were greasy, undercooked or missing expected toppings. Pizza remains central to the restaurant's appeal, but quality reviews are mixed.
Bandera Bread & Appetizers
Bandera Bread receives a particularly enthusiastic recommendation from a customer who considered it a highlight of their meal. Nachos and other appetizers also attract positive comments, especially from guests visiting the lounge. Some reviewers criticize portion sizes or preparation, but shareable starters remain popular.
Generous Portions
Several customers describe receiving large servings of pizza, pasta and other entrées. Families and travellers appreciate the filling meals, particularly when stopping during a busy day. Opinions about value vary, with some considering the portions reasonable for the price and others questioning the cost of particular dishes or promotions.
Convenient Location & Parking
The Columbia Square setting receives favourable feedback for its accessibility by car. Customers appreciate the parking and the restaurant's location near shopping, hotels and major roads. Travellers passing through Kamloops frequently mention the convenience of stopping here during longer journeys.
A Reliable Road-Trip Stop
Some customers return to this Boston Pizza whenever they travel through Kamloops. Reviews describe friendly service, familiar food and convenient access from the highway. One traveller specifically called it a favourite stop between Vancouver and Calgary. These repeat visits suggest the location has developed a following beyond local residents.
Birthday Celebrations
Customers describe enjoyable birthday meals with family and friends. Reviews mention attentive servers, desserts and thoughtful gestures that made celebrations memorable. One guest praised a birthday lunch featuring Chocolate Explosion Cheesecake, while another enjoyed pasta during a milestone birthday dinner.
Friendly Management & Problem Resolution
Some reviews describe staff taking extra steps to resolve problems. One customer praised a manager for helping redeem a dining card after difficulties elsewhere, while another appreciated receiving an additional pizza when an order was delayed. These examples show that individual employees sometimes make a significant effort to improve a customer's experience.
Inconsistent Service
Despite frequent praise for individual servers, other customers report slow service, inattentive staff or difficulty getting assistance. Complaints include waiting for orders, delayed drinks and feeling rushed at the end of a meal. The contrast between highly positive and negative reviews suggests that service can vary considerably depending on staffing and the visit.
Cleanliness & Maintenance Concerns
A recurring criticism involves the condition of the restaurant's interior. Several customers describe worn furnishings, dusty seating, dirty floors or washroom cleanliness issues. Some specifically suggest that the location needs renovation. These concerns appear across reviews from different years, making maintenance one of the more significant negative themes associated with this branch.
An Aging Interior
Customers frequently describe the restaurant as older or dated. Some are comfortable with the familiar Boston Pizza atmosphere, while others feel the décor and furnishings need updating. A few reviewers say they enjoyed the food and service but were disappointed by the physical condition of the restaurant.
Loud Music & Busy Atmosphere
Several customers complain that music or general noise levels make conversation difficult. One reviewer specifically described struggling to hear companions, while another found the restaurant too loud for a quiet meal. The lounge and busy family dining periods can contribute to a lively atmosphere. Customers seeking a quieter experience may prefer off-peak visits.
Mixed Food Quality
While many diners describe their meals as delicious, others report disappointing pasta, overcooked fish, cold fries or poorly prepared sandwiches. Lasagna and certain Alfredo dishes have received particularly critical comments from individual customers. The reviews suggest that food quality can be inconsistent rather than uniformly good or bad.
Takeout Accuracy
Takeout orders generate a noticeable number of complaints about missing ingredients, forgotten items and incorrect preparations. Customers describe pizzas without requested toppings, salads missing chicken and orders requiring additional waiting time. Others report successful takeout experiences, but checking orders before leaving is a sensible precaution.
Delivery Quality
Delivery feedback is mixed, with some customers enjoying their meals and others reporting cold food, missing sauces or disappointing portions. Several complaints involve orders placed through third-party delivery platforms. The reviews do not always establish whether a problem originated with the kitchen, packaging or delivery process.
Sports Promotions Vary by Location
A customer specifically complained that a wing promotion available at another Boston Pizza restaurant was not offered at the Kamloops location. Management responded that specials may differ between branches. This is useful information for regular Boston Pizza customers who expect identical promotions at every restaurant.
Dietary Accommodation Experiences
Some customers praise the availability of gluten-free options and helpful servers who accommodate food preferences. However, another review describes a negative experience involving vegetarian requirements. Guests with allergies or dietary restrictions should communicate their needs clearly and confirm the ingredients and preparation procedures.
A Familiar Kamloops Gathering Place
Despite mixed feedback about food consistency, cleanliness and noise, the restaurant continues to attract repeat customers, families, sports teams and travellers. Many reviewers describe positive experiences with individual staff members and appreciate the convenient location. Its broad menu and casual atmosphere remain important reasons customers choose this Boston Pizza.
