Boston Pizza New Kids' Menu!

We Were "Among Friends" at Boston Pizza!

I'm glad to be a brand ambassador for the Boston Pizza new kid's menu!  This Saturday my family and I had a great time at Boston Pizza in Toronto sampling the new children's menu!  All 7 of us went to the restaurant: that is my husband and our 5 kids, 7 years and under.  We saw old friends and new friends, so it really was a great party!

What first impressed us, was that items on the kids' menu included a LOT of food, and cost only $6.99.  When I say a lot of food, I mean that you choose a generous entree, a side, a drink and a dessert.  It was a difficult choice, but my kids chose the BP Mini Cheeseburgers, Bugs n' Cheese (bug-shaped pasta) & Slurpin' Spaghetti.  As a side, the kids selected caesar salads and french fries.  All kids opted for chocolate milk.  For dessert...well, I'll save that as a surprise!

To their delight, the kids each received a generous kid's activity kit as part of the Boston Pizza kid's menu.  It was presented to each child inside a mini pizza box!  Peeking in, there were crayons, checkers, a memory game and a large activity book to keep the kids entertained.  It was a very well thought out kit, and I think that kids will enjoy it, and parents will appreciate having their kids happily occupied.

My kids really enjoyed the food, and I have to say that my husband and I also savoured our meals.  I ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger with french fries, and my husband ordered a Half Rack of Ribs and Wings, with a side caesar salad.  My husband ordered a Pepsi, and I ordered a hot chocolate, not because of cool weather, but because it's all about the chocolate!

Boston Pizza has an awesome BP Kids Card promotion on right now, in that you can receive 5 FREE kid's meals, with a minimum donation of $5 to the Boston Pizza Foundation.  The donation helps local, regional and national charities that support kids and families across Canada.  In essence, you are getting $34.95 in food in exchange for a $5 charity donation.  A win-win situation and you can WIN this below!

The kids were thrilled to meet Lionel, Boston Pizza's shaggy blue mascot with a chef's hat!  My 2-year old son even talked about Lionel after we left the restaurant: "Want to hug Lionel.  Nice Lionel."  He just has that gentle look to him, especially with his red and white checkered tablecloth shirt.

The atmosphere in Boston Pizza was very friendly and casual, which made me think that my family was welcome there.  I would also go there just as a couple, as there was music and entertainment on multiple plasma screens, which definitely blends down the sounds of children.  

And now for the surprise: the kids ordered a GREAT Mini Chocolate Pizza!  This was a hot-from-the-oven giant chocolate chip cookie, a scoop of icecream and generous drizzle of chocolate sauce!  There was enough for everyone to share!  Does it also look good to you?  Check out Boston Pizza for your share!
