Boston Pizza

Boston Pizza's Scarborough location sits at 25 Cinemart Dr, a short distance off Morningside Avenue, serving the surrounding neighbourhood as a family restaurant and sports bar. It offers dine-in service, a full bar area for watching games, and food available for pickup or delivery, giving residents in this part of Ontario a straightforward option for a casual meal any night of the week.

Finding the Cinemart Drive location and getting there from around Scarborough

The restaurant is located at 25 Cinemart Dr in Scarborough, ON, near the Morningside Avenue corridor, making it accessible to residents of the surrounding residential pockets and to anyone travelling along the main east-end arteries of the city. Cinemart Drive sits in a commercial pocket typical of Scarborough's mixed residential-retail layout, where restaurants, retail plazas, and services cluster along a handful of connector roads rather than a single downtown strip.

The safest habit is to confirm the exact address, 25 Cinemart Dr, and phone number, 416-282-0770, before heading out or placing an order, rather than relying on a general search result that might surface a nearby but different location.

Scarborough's traffic patterns shift noticeably with the seasons: winter snowfall can slow arrival times along secondary roads, while summer evenings and weekend afternoons bring heavier casual dining traffic as families and groups look for a nearby spot after errands, sports activities, or events. Parking around commercial plazas in this part of the city is generally available on-site, but visitors coming during peak dinner hours or on weekend evenings should plan for a few extra minutes, particularly around Friday and Saturday when hours extend later into the night.

Because the restaurant operates within a broader commercial area rather than a standalone building, first-time visitors sometimes drive past the entrance or confuse it with a neighbouring storefront. Checking the exact plaza or building signage against the address on file, rather than guessing from the street, avoids the common back-and-forth of circling a plaza looking for the right unit.

What a visit costs and what actually changes the final bill

No official menu prices are published for this location, and none are quoted here, but a family restaurant and sports bar format typically means the final bill depends on the mix of shared appetizers, individual entrées, and any drinks ordered rather than a single fixed cost.

A frequent consumer misstep is assuming a quoted menu price already includes taxes, gratuity, or delivery fees. Ontario sales tax applies on top of listed menu prices, and orders placed for delivery or pickup through a third-party channel may carry additional service charges that are not reflected in the in-restaurant menu. The better reflex is to review the full order summary — including any delivery or service fees — before confirming payment, rather than assuming the subtotal shown on a menu board or website is the final amount owed.

Group size and occasion also affect what a visit costs. A quick lunch for one person during the week tends to run lower than a weekend dinner for a family or a group gathered to watch a game, since larger tables typically order more shared items, appetizers, and rounds of drinks over a longer visit. Asking about any automatic gratuity applied to larger groups before ordering is a simple way to avoid a surprise at the end of the meal, since many sit-down restaurants apply a set gratuity once a table passes a certain size.

Payment itself is handled directly at the restaurant, and visitors should confirm which methods are accepted on arrival rather than assuming; various payment methods are generally available at establishments of this type, but confirming directly with staff avoids any mismatch between what a customer expects and what the till can process that day.

The dine-in and delivery experience, and who it suits

This location functions as both a sit-down restaurant and a sports bar, meaning it serves two overlapping groups: families looking for a casual dine-in meal, and patrons who come primarily to watch a game with food and drinks on the side. Both restaurant and delivery lines run through the same phone number, 416-282-0770, which keeps ordering straightforward whether a customer plans to sit down or have food brought elsewhere.

The restaurant's hours extend later on Friday and Saturday than the rest of the week, running from 11 AM to 1 AM on those two nights compared to a midnight close the rest of the week, which reflects its role as a weekend gathering spot as much as a weekday dining option. This pattern is worth noting for anyone planning a late booking or a post-event stop, since arriving close to closing time on a weeknight leaves a narrower window than arriving on a Friday or Saturday.

One recurring consumer error is relying on hours found through a general web search rather than confirming directly, since posted hours can vary around holidays. The restaurant itself notes that hours may shift for holidays and recommends confirming directly before a visit — a good habit to carry over to any planning around statutory holidays or long weekends, when a trip made on the assumption of standard hours can end in a closed door.

For groups watching sports, the bar-and-restaurant format means seating near screens may fill up faster during major games, so arriving earlier or calling ahead on a night with a high-profile match is a reasonable precaution rather than assuming a table will be available on arrival. Families visiting for a regular meal generally have more flexibility outside of those peak sports-viewing windows, particularly during weekday lunch and early dinner hours when the space tends to be quieter.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if something about my order or visit wasn't right?

Keeping a receipt or order confirmation on hand makes any follow-up conversation easier, particularly for delivery or pickup orders where the food is not reviewed until after leaving the building.

Is this a good choice for a special occasion?

It works well for informal celebrations — a birthday dinner, a group get-together, or a casual night out to watch a game — given its dual role as a family restaurant and sports bar. It is better suited to a relaxed, casual atmosphere than a formal or intimate occasion, so anyone planning a more formal event should factor that casual, energetic setting into their expectations.

Do I need a reservation before showing up?

No booking details are published for this specific step, so the most reliable approach is to call ahead at 416-282-0770 to ask about reservations or expected wait times, particularly before a weekend evening or a night with a major sports broadcast when seating can fill up faster than usual. For a quieter weekday meal, walking in without calling ahead is generally less of a gamble.

Is it a suitable spot for families or larger groups?

Yes — the restaurant is positioned as a family dining venue as well as a sports bar, which typically means it can accommodate both a parent-and-children meal and a larger group gathered around a game. Groups planning a larger visit, especially on a weekend evening, benefit from calling ahead to confirm the restaurant can seat the full party together rather than arriving unannounced and hoping for space.
