Short Version:It's good pizza, and there are a variety of toppings available. The price is a little higfh, but you're getting a good amount, and you can buy one slice. You may have no idea where the queue is.Details:Since I think New York/New Jersey style think crust pizza is the very best kind of pizza, I was excited to try this, and pizza is one of my top ten all time favorite kinds of food.

Since I think New York/New Jersey style think crust pizza is the very best kind of pizza, I was excited to try this, and pizza is one of my top ten all time favorite kinds of food. I thought it might be similar to Paisano's, which is in Central and Mong Kok. Paisano's is the closest to real NY style pizza in HK. However, this Canadian Pizza is more similar to the popular PhD Pizza shop.
First, let's talk about the crust and the base. The dough is slightly thicker than a traditional thin crust, and has an almost bread-like texture. Now, this is not bad, and based on the number of shops they have, I'm guessing this style reflects the preferences of Hong Kong people. So it's only my opinion that it's a bit too bready. You may like it, and I indeed enjoyed the pizza.
Next, let's talk about the toppings. The pepperoni was a little on the spicy side, but again you may like that. I thought the plain cheese and tomato sauce was just fine.
When you approach the counter, you can see the pies on offer, and they will re-heat your slice(s) if you're not going to go home to eat it. The service is fine, it's a kind of fast food after all. However, there is no proper queue, and this proved frustrating as multiple people pushed and shoved to get at the pizza, and you basically just need to be assertive to get your order in. Otherwise, I'd have given it 5 stars for service,
They weren't offering drinks at the time of my visit as I was there before the official opening, but I've since passed by and seen them selling drinks which are prepared upon your order. I think they are going after the bubble tea market, too.
Overall, it's a good piece of pizza, nice, simple, and just a bit expensive.
