Pizza 786 Arbutus

This place is actually pretty cool. It's got a fun retro vibe with its decor. But for how old their style is, the seats and booths are in great shape. And they have a plant growing along a wire around the entirety of the perimeter of the room. I had the ranchero chicken pizza - which was really a chicken, bacon, ranch pizza. And it was great. The crust was crisp, and they did not skimp on the cheese. Another member of party got wings, a sub, and fries. And that looked extremely run-of-the-mill. But it is called Pizza 786 - not Subs 786. The prices were also pretty reasonable. Minus 1 star for a nearly silly reason. For some reason - even though they offer white sauce and ranch sauce on specialty pizzas - they will only let you order a custom pizza with red sauce. It doesn't make any se

My favorite local spot, hands-down. I've been coming here for close to 10 years now, and any time I require pizza or wings- I hear her siren song. Portions are massive, especially in the pizza and calzone realm. Wings are crispy and the sauces are flavorful and plentiful. Fries (I get them well done) are crispy and delicious. I usually get take out, but the inside is super retro and unique. The service is excellent and always has been. There's this one girl there with blond hair that always greets me with a big smile and makes sure all of my food is packaged perfectly for its journey home. Highly recommend the Monster Za' for feeding a crowd! Massive pizza with massive flavor for a price you can't beat.

I’ve visited 786 Arbutus several times and my experiences have been consistently disappointing. The service feels rushed and unwelcoming — a counter staff member frequently behaves as if customers are an inconvenience, giving curt responses and little eye contact. On multiple visits I left feeling like I’d been rushed out the door rather than appreciated as a customer. The service issues are compounded by what I observed behind the counter. Employees were not rotating products properly; I saw older items placed where they were easily accessible to be served, with no visible date labeling or organization. That raises real food-safety concerns for me and makes me question their inventory and kitchen practices. Orders have sometimes been handled inconsistently and with minimal care. I’ve ha

The customer's service is awesome. and the two slices I got were very good. it gave a nice cozy old school vibe

This is our families favorite pizza spot. We do not eat pork and they do not serve any pork products! So we are able to enjoy beef pepperoni 🍕 and it is delicious. We love the staff and the monster pizza. Their cheese pizza is amazing as well! We order from here almost every weekend. We haven’t tried many other things besides pizza here.
