Mr. Pan Pizza — Restaurant in North Vancouver

First impressions - this is just what I was looking for from a small pizza place: large diameter with lots of toppings, and great taste at a low price. Good deals in their coupon section, too. Great looking flavours in their specialty menu, which I will go back to enjoy.

UPDATE: Having gone back and tried two of the specialty Indian pizzas, I was very impressed with the quality - both of the flavor and the ingredients. Back to the original review...

This is not thin crust, traditional Sicilian style pizza that focuses more on the crust and sauce - this is the fuller, heavier, toppings and melted cheese focus that you (Gen-X'ers & older) and I would remember from small pizza places, growing up. I dropped by to take advantage of the Walk In Special, and I am very happy. A large 14", 2 topping pizza for a lower price than most other place's medium sized ones. I also ordered the Naan bread and the samosas, to test the waters.

The tomato sauce was thicker, more a tomato paste than a thin sauce, and worked well to accent the overall style (hardier crust, lots if toppings, thick sauce - gotcha). The sauce's flavour was good with a nice amount of herbs in it; it was well prepared and I thought the spread on the pizza was just right.

I did not expect too find high-end pepperoni on the pizza, and it was not charcuterie grade; it was the mild, mid-west diner (or baseball stadium) type, but there was a large amount of it, broadly sliced - and with the other toppings it was covering the crust right to the edge.

The cheese was tasty and generous and the pizza was cooked just right. I had about a 10 minute walk home from the store and, even though I was carrying the box without any insulation, the slices were still really hot when I got home. It was a warm evening, so that helped, but the pizza stayed warmer than I expected, which made me very happy when I dug into it.

The naan bread was made for dipping. It was of the thicker type and probably could have been a little crispier (my toaster oven helped with that), but I could see that it would work with Indian dishes. Or with melted cheese. Or with the samosa filling...

The samosas were great, the deep fried crust was oily (of course) but it was super crispy - more of a pie crust texture than bread texture - and the filing had a good flavour. I might have liked a little more spice in it for the first bite, but I was happy with the taste as I devoured the whole thing. The tamirand chutney added the right touch to the samosa, too.

In my second visit I ordered two large Indian Pizzas. There was a large amount of very good quality ingredients on them and I want to state that the crust was amazing! There was little less cheese than the first pizza, but that did not hinder the taste - I only wish there was a bit more sauce on both, because I loved the flavours they provided. Or maybe some sauce on the side for dipping, if more would harm the crust?

So, yes, I will be going back to have more pizza (especially the Indian flavours on the specialty menu, really looking forward to those) and to try the Indian dishes, too. It took me a while to try them out because their shop isn't the prettiest and website isn't the best, but the kitchen looked clean, the staff is nice, the deals are great and the pizza is just what I wanted from a small place like this. If you are looking for this kind of pizza, I'm recommending Mr. Pan Pizza to my...

I had an incredibly disappointing experience. I ordered Rasmalai, but instead of informing me that they were out of stock or offering an alternative, they arbitrarily decided to substitute it with gulab jamuns without my consent. When I reached out to inquire about this unacceptable substitution, the staff showed a complete lack of concern or accountability, simply stating that their manager had made the decision. It's appalling that they believe their manager has the authority to dictate what customers should eat without any consideration for their preferences.

Furthermore, the customer service was abysmal. The staff member I spoke to on the phone seemed indifferent and offered nothing more than a half-hearted apology, which felt insincere and dismissive. It's evident that they prioritize their convenience over customer satisfaction, which is unacceptable in any establishment.

I strongly advise against dining here. Not only did they fail to provide the dish I ordered, but they also demonstrated a blatant disregard for customer preferences and provided subpar customer service. Save yourself the frustration and dine elsewhere where your preferences are...

Amazing Pizza, great service and great price.

I had eaten here many years ago and remembered it to be good. Due to its location (slight off Lonsdale) I had forgotten about this place. Recently we've tried pizza from many places around Lonsdale and found these other places are overpriced or mediocre. We finally stumbled upon an old Mr Pan Pizza flyer and it caught our eye. We ordered the 2 pizza two topping large for pick up. The staff were kind, safely kept their distance (due to COVID) and were bang on with the ready time. So now for the pizza... OMG it was so good. We ordered Pepperoni/Mushroom and Butter chicken/Onion, both were perfectly saucey with an amazing crust! Not greasy and after devouring four pieces each we were more than full while still having a full large left over. slightly. This is our new Fave Pizza joint! Support small and...
