But now that I showed up there, it was good enough to recommend for lunch. The menu is sandwiches and pizza, with a small focus on seafood, as one would expect in a coastal town. But I was in the mood for Canadian food, so I got a small pizza (which on special, 2 toppings for $8, usually $8,50 : Canadian bacon and pineapple. What? You don't grow pineapples in Canada? Oh, good. The pizza was ready in about 10 minutes, and it was much, much bigger than I expected, and absolutely loaded with blows and cheese. I ate 3 slices (not really want the third, but don't want it to go to either waste, then pointlessly asked for a go box for the rest. I went to the wilderness and had no way to keep it cool, so I threw it away anyway. Still... huge. In addition, there is a cheerful, helpful waitress and a clean, if not elegant dining room, and you have a recommended lunch place in this something outside the city.
