If we could just win the lottery, we’d buy a ranch in the Cypress Hills. But until then, we’ll settle for finding the perfect slice in Medicine Hat. Here are the 16 pizza places where we’ve spent our hard-earned cash—from old-school Italian joints to spots with wood-fired crusts that’ll make you forget all about those lottery dreams.
Boston Pizza
$$ | (403) 529-2500 | WEBSITE
Boston Pizza is a solid neighborhood pizza spot to know about if you’re in Medicine Hat. It’s from the same group behind other local favorites and much like those places, Boston Pizza’s open-concept dining room is always full of people who look like they might be catching the game after work. The next time you need a casual place to grab a beer and eat a chicken club or some fettuccine, this is your spot.
The atmosphere is relaxing with all that natural light and soft seating, and the manager is friendly and courteous when you see him. Sure, the service can be inconsistent—sometimes you get a friendly server who’s on top of things, other times it feels a bit slow or even rude. And the portions? They’re hit-or-miss too, with some dishes like the nachos leaving you wanting more. But the food quality is generally decent and delicious, and you can usually count on a quick, reasonably satisfying meal.
It’s not perfect, but for consistent service and quality, it remains a go-to for many.
