The 6,000 sq. foot dining room, sports bar and patio will be the first Boston Pizza location in Stoney Creek and will be owned and operated by Rob Vincze, Rob Phillips, and Aubrey and Wayne Steadman.  It is located at 135 Upper Centennial Pkwy at Highland & Hwy. 20.

The new restaurant will offer the residents of Stoney Creek a full service, pizza themed, casual dining Restaurant and Sports Bar experience. "We offer more than 100 menu items including a unique selection of gourmet pizzas, mouth-watering pastas, and a wide variety of appetizers, ribs, meal size salads, sandwiches and desserts," said Vincze.  "With more than 250 seats, it's the perfect place for families, sports teams, groups of friends and couples to meet and mingle over great food." 

"Our Stoney Creek restaurant is the 40th Boston Pizza location in Ontario and is a significant milestone in our aggressive expansion plans for Ontario," said Mark Pacinda, President of Boston Pizza International Inc.  "I know the people of Stoney Creek are going to love it."
