Freshslice Penticton — Restaurant in Penticton

The Regrettable Reality ... Don't judge the place by its doorstep.

As a seasoned globe-trotting pizza connoisseur, I try not to build expectations right away. Having had the opportunity to indulge at various distinguished and sometimes over-hyped pizza places around the world, I approach each pizzeria with a hint of skepticism. But my recent sojourn to Penticton, a quaint town in British Columbia, led me to an unexpected experience...

The exterior of the pizza joint, found snugly nestled on Martin Street, is unassuming. Might one even dare to think it's mundane? But don't let this exterior fool you, for beyond the door lies a veritable Pandora's box of flavors, sure to tantalise every gourmet's taste buds.

Step into Freshslice and be prepared to feel the roominess envelop you. The spacious dine-in area is designed, not to cram bodies, but to provide a comfortable dining experience. They also have a dedicated spot perfect for those impromptu business meetings that can be reserved in advance. Nothing to rave about, you might think? But it's these little details and effort toward customer comfort that transform dining into an experience.

Bracing myself for the usual array of ingredients, to my surprise, the menu offered a 'pick-your-pleasure' style of a wide variety of toppings. Not to mention, the prices were incredibly competitive, a refreshing change from what one might anticipate from a pizzeria that screams quality in every bite!

Did I mention the cleanliness? Freshslice sparkled, and I am not exaggerating. The commitment to hygiene was as clear as the glass tables, the staff ever vigilant in this pursuit.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of this establishment is that it's a locally owned and operated business by an amiable couple. It's heartening to see small businesses like them thriving, proof that the spirit of entrepreneurship is alive and well in Penticton.

And for those interested in more than just a pizza stop, Penticton's hidden treasures await you. Explore the stunning landscapes, the iconic Farmers Market, the cherished local vineyards, and the peach city's sandy beaches (Skaha and Okanagan Beach), sure to leave you smitten.

In conclusion, much like Penticton's hidden gems, Freshslice Pizza, at a first look, doesn't thrill. But step in, savor their mouth-watering pizzas, enjoy their inviting space, and experience their unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. You won't leave disappointed, I assure you.

I am VERY picky when it comes to pizza, so my expectations are high and can be a little unreasonable.

My Husband and I tried Freshslice in Penticton today and - I have to admit - I was both pleasantly surprised and enamoured. We tried the Mediterranean, Hawaiian, BBQ chicken, and Meat Lovers - they were all SPECTACULAR! The crust was excellent - light, tasty and unlike anything I have ever experienced. The topping ingredients were fresh, flavourful and generous.

The service was exemplary! Our pizzas and drinks were served in record time, along with parmesan cheese and other free accoutrements. Most importantly, the staff was very pleasant. warm and welcoming, making sure to see that our dining needs were met throughout our stay.

That atmosphere and decor is very welcoming and there are a variety of areas to dine, depending whether you want a view of the quaint front street or a quiet more secluded area. Both areas delightful and beautifully decorated with Okanagan nostalgia and history. It's also important to note that the restaurant was and washroom facilities were spit-shine clean and for exceeded our expectations.

In terms of parking, even though we were hauling a utility trailer, parking was conveniently located off to the side of the building, so that was a real bonus.

Overall, our experience was a solid 5 out of 5 and we will definitely be back!

We HIGHLY recommend Freshslice in Penticton and you are certain to fall in love with it.

Thank you Freshslice for an epic pizza...

I recently visited Freshslice in Penticton and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food was great. The taste was fantastic, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The pizza was delicious, and the variety of toppings made it easy to find something for everyone. Overall, the food was definitely worth it.

However, there was one aspect of the visit that left a sour taste. Along with two other families, I noticed a rather unpleasant strategy to push customers into buying certain products, specifically canned pop. When placing our order, everything seemed fine until we asked for something to drink. We were told that they didn’t have disposable cups available, which meant that if we bought a 2L bottle, we would have to take it home to enjoy it. As a “solution,” we were encouraged to buy individual cans of pop, priced at $2 or $3 each (though the price was listed as $1.89 to make it seem less expensive).

An attendant, who introduced himself as Robin Singh (though I suspect this wasn’t his real name), was very insistent and stuck to a script to persuade us to buy the canned pop. This felt like a misleading tactic to push customers into purchasing what they wanted us to buy, rather than offering a genuine solution.

In summary, while the food at Freshslice in Penticton is excellent and worth the visit, the sales strategy regarding drinks left much to be desired. I hope they reconsider this approach to provide a more transparent and...
