I recently visited Cucina 500 a hip restaurant in Inglewood. In this review I will be judging three aspects of this restaurant: The menu, service and food.

With over 250 locations in Canada, Boston Pizza is pretty well-known. Although their food has been reviewed many times over, I decided to write this post to share my favourite choices at Boston Pizza. Boston Pizza’s food is quite good.
