Boston Pizza Franchise is a full-service casual dining Pizza restaurant and sports bar offering more than 100 menu items including a unique selection of gourmet pizza and pasta, plus a variety of other dishes including appetizers, sandwiches, ribs, salads and desserts. 

 Located at the crossroads of 113 Ave. and 100 St., the new Boston Pizza restaurant is located in a developing commercial area in east Westlock.  "We look forward to offering the residents of Westlock a new dining alternative where they can expect to receive ‘old fashioned' customer service every time they visit our restaurant," says franchisee and general manager Sheldon Hay. 

 In keeping with their commitment to the local community, Boston Pizza Westlock will sponsor the town's minor league hockey team and free public skating at the local rink on Sundays. 

 Hay has spent 11 of his 12 years experience in the restaurant business with Boston Pizza and it has been a life-long dream for him to open a location.  "I am excited to see the continued strength and growth of the Boston Pizza brand and look forward to contributing to its success with our new location," says Hay.  Hay moved from Edmonton with his wife Cheri to pursue Boston Pizza development in the growing community of Westlock.

 Hay has partnered with Crystal Glass Canada Ltd. to operate Boston Pizza Westlock, and has hired 80 local people to work in the restaurant.  Crystal Glass is an active member of communities across Alberta and supports the Salvation Army, Catholic School Services, CNIB, Edmonton Space and Science Foundation, United Way ‘Corporate Superstar', Junior Chamber of Commerce, Safety City, and Crystal Kids Youth Centre.
