    About Boston Pizza Canada

    Boston - The Gourmet Pizza has a long and eventful history ...that dates all the way back to 1964. It started with Gus Agiortis, a Greek immigrant who had jumped ship in Vancouver, and then opened the first Boston Pizza in Edmonton, Alberta in 1964. He worked tirelessly to make pizza a household name in Western Canada. Gus' first restaurant was known as "Boston Pizza and Spaghetti House." The company started franchising in 1968 and has since evolved from a "pizza joint" into a full service casual dining restaurant and sports bar. Six years after opening, Gus had 17 locations (two corporate and 15 franchised) in operation across Western Canada. Gus believed that a potential franchisee didn't need a restaurant background, but needed strong people skills, a passion for hard work and new horizons. This philosophy still stands true today.

    About World's Healthiest Pizza

    Our Pizza is More Than a Whole Wheat Crust

    Made with more than 10 grains and seeds, our signature Prebiotic Multi-Grain Crust delivers the diversity of fiber and nutrients your body needs to achieve optimal health and well-being.

    SPECIAL NOTE (August): We are currently in the development stage of putting together our franchise business to begin selling franchises across the U.S. by the first quarter of 2009. To grow that business (12 to 36 new stores opened per year), we are currently offering a limited amount of investment in our franchise company - the franchise arm of our business will not own stores but rather sell, develop and manage stores across the U.S. If you would like further info, send us an e-mail and provide some info about yourself and overall interest. Please note we are only offering a limited amount of investment - so, if you are interested please contact us. "Rebuilding the health of America one slice at a time"
