Stan's Pizza Thunder Bay - Thunder Bay, Ontario

I recently tried this place and had mixed feelings about the experience. The pizza, unfortunately, didn’t quite live up to the expectations. While the toppings were decent and visually it looked great, the overall flavor just wasn’t there. It seemed like it was missing something—possibly more sauce or seasoning. The taste reminded me a bit of those upscale-looking but bland gourmet pizzas you'd find at a big-box super center.

Given the price, I was hoping for a more flavorful bite. It felt a bit underwhelming for what I paid.

On the bright side, the wings were surprisingly good—tasty, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. Also, I have to mention the customer service: the lady who took my order over the phone was friendly and super helpful, which made the experience more pleasant overall.

I might give it another shot, as all the reviews say differently. I would like to see if this was a one-off. But for now, it's a bit of a mixed bag.

Ordered a regular size veggie pizza and I’m really impressed by the quality of the pie. I can’t remember the last time I had a pizza with a generous amount of toppings on it, consistency from bite to bite. It was definitely worth the wait and I will be back.

I know Stans has been around forever. When I picked up the pizza staff waa very friendly and my order was completed promptly. The pizza size was average for the price. The crust waa nice. Although there was very little sauce so ir was a bit dry. Half the pizza was with musheooms. I guess its on me for assuming they would use FRESH mushrooms. If the pizza wasn't so dry I likely would have let it go
So I decided to call Stans . Just to discuss the mushrooms. They were slimy. My dog didn't eat them. I was recieved with the same sweet girl who rang me up. Asking for a manager she informed me that she was the one who deals with issues. Her response to my complaints about the mushrooms was......staff prefer mushrooms from a can.... ummmmm. I suppose as long as staff are happy. .. customers like me are just a Karen lol. I had zero intentions of writing a review. But. I can't help feeling disappointment wirh my experience. ...especially knowing that I was dealing with a long standing local restaurant. Id expect more. Someone feel free to tell me im over exaggerating. Idk. Eating out is a luxury these days. Even take out pizza. So feeling unheard. Full but unsatisfied is a bit of a big deal to many. ALSO... my bad for not asking about the mushrooms ahead of time... i just assumed a local restaurant of decades only used the best ingredients. My bad

Great thin crust pizza, very tasty. Friendly service. Order ahead for pick up or delivery, as they don't take walk-ins.

Classic place, delicious and been around forever! The only reason I gave a 1 star for atmosphere is the building is old and no dine in available (don’t let that fool you) it’s been a family go to before I was even born. The Jumbo Thundercape special has a special place for me and a lot of locals
