Pizza 97 — Restaurant in Oliver

Visiting from Ontario and was staying just a bit outside of Oliver. Partner wanted pasta, I wanted pizza so we went with Pizza 97 after a quick search on Google of local restaurant options. We ended up going with a pizza and spaghetti.

Food: It was good pizza and spaghetti. I'm pretty picky on pizza and I'd definitely order again, however one thing I am stingy on is bacon crumble vs strip. If it was pieces of bacon strip I would have given food 5 stars. My partner says the spaghetti with meatballs was good too. The garlic fingers were a nice addition.

Service: Service was as to be suspected for a pizza place. Walked in, reviewed menu, placed order, 25 minutes ETA, 25 minute pick up time. Wouldn't say anything stood out as great or bad.

Atmosphere: I don't really have great things to say about the atmosphere of the restaurant upon entering. It's dated looking. It's not aesthetically appealing. However, it has the look of a restaurant that probably is well established and has some pretty decent food. It reminds me of a few delicious restaurants back home. Would upgrade to 5 stars if the arcade machines were working as my partner is a gamer and would have been in heaven waiting for our food.

Overall: If you are visiting thru the area and are looking for some decent take out pizza or Italian cuisine check them out and I am sure you won't be...

This food was garbage. Trash. It was burnt, he used old rotten vegetables and it was 64 dollars for 2 large pizzas. We couldnt stomach more than 1 bite. Im not sure how he can even call this pizza. Youd be better off going to save on foods and getting a pre frozen pizza and leaving it out in the sun to cook while you go swiming. I cant believe he can get away with selling this as pizza. Its disgusting. It was 1/4 inch thick INCLUDING THE toppings. Im not sure how or why but my last review was taken down. NEVER go here. Unless you like...

The toppings were well crafted, organic, local, and delicious. But that was about it. We got chicken tandory and all meat, both large. The sauce was good, and so were the toppings. However, the crust/breading was lack-lusting. The crust felt burnt and hard; a tough crunch. And while thin crusts are good, it had none of the soft doughy goodness you want from your pizza. Due to this, the pizza’s organic and local BC flavours were muddled and lost. Perhaps I’m too picky with my pizza, but I sadly won’t be trying this...
