Pescelino Pizza

We had dinner here during a weekend on Pender and it was a highlight. The pizza is excellent and there was a great selection of drinks including feature cocktails. Staff were welcoming and professional. There's also a beautiful view of the golf course out back, and a vintage pinball machine. Good times all around and a highlight of our stay. We can't wait to come back during our next visit!

We are American tourists who came to Pender for a summer family vacation. It was our last night on the island and we came in off the ferry needing to get dinner for our kids. We wanted to pre order food from the Pub but they weren't answering their phone. Plan B was to go to the grocery store and bring back frozen pizzas but they were closed. An in person visit to the pub told us they had closed early. Our Google search led us to Pescelino Pizza even though it was 20 minutes to closing. We walked in and were immediately told that they had run out of propane and couldn't make pizzas. We asked for suggestions and they told us they would make us deep fried pizzas. I was very hesitant but the chef encouraged us to try them. We got a couple to go even though they're pretty time consuming to make. We didn't want to keep the chef and server past their open hours but they were both really kind and friendly. So, we drank some delicious beers and played pinball while we waited. Once the food was ready we had fun conversation with the chef about beer, creating Italian food from scratch, and life on the island. My review is not going to give justice to the INCREDIBLE people and service we meet with there. Not to mention the food was delicious and not the greasy mess I expected it to be. It was actually a total treat. My mother said she would travel the 16 hours back to Pender Island just for this restaurant!

Fantastic pizza. The crust was perfect, nice crunch on the outside and great chew on the inside and very tasty. Toppings were delicious and all seemed to be very high quality. The owners were super friendly and great to chat with, you can tell they care about what they do. Great selection of beer and other drinks and a nice view to boot. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fabulous pizza! Great ambiance, great music, J & S are fantastic hosts. Menu is constantly evolving and every one we've had has been a hit! The Samosas could have been made in Delhi! Highly recommended!

This place is a cut above the rest... or should I say slice?! Highly recommend visiting Pescelino! They have a variety of Neapolitan style pizzas with quality ingredients and gluten free options. I added black garlic to my pizza, and it was a great call. Aside from the regular drink menu, there were some fancy Italian cocktails to choose from. Their gelato is delicious. I enjoyed my dining experience here, and had so much fun playing pinball with my friends after. I will definitely be coming back.
