So, is this what happens when SPAM meets Wikipedia?

Are you refering to an older version of the article - as it stands, its pretty factual and clearly not advertising - Pizza Pizza is certainly the most well known Pizza chain in Toronto if not Ontario, making it definitely noteworthy. WilyD 15:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The original comment was posted in November 2003, when the article did kind of look like an ad. — stickguy (:^›)— home - talk - 21:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The chain opened in the Montreal area in late 2007 with locations in the Montreal boroughs of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Pierrefonds-Roxboro, although the very first Pizza Pizza restaurant to open in Quebec was located in Gatineau, and opened its doors in March of the same year. Starting 2012, the total revenue of Pizza Pizza in this province accounts for 21% of the market, leaving place to first and second chains being Domino's and Pizza Hut with 30% and 23% respectively, but coming third well after Double Pizza, whose revenue is now only 15%, as compared to 26% in 2006 (just before Pizza Pizza was introduced).

I question this... Pizza Pizza was in Hull, Quebec behind an Ottawa number (+1-613-737-1111) in the 1990s. I recall a location with the distinctive orange signage on St. Joseph opposite "les Galeries de Hull" mall for years. It wasn't introduced in 2006.

Unfortunately, their slice pricing does get progressively worse as one gets further from Toronto.

Pizza Pizza's canned Coca-Cola products have a gold top instead of the more conventional silver top. This is so that it is obvious whether or not Coca-Cola products being sold by Pizza Pizza franchisees have been purchased through the Pizza Pizza commisary or not, for control purposes.

Québec uses gold tops to indicate cans on which a 5¢ deposit (dépôt) has been paid, to distinguish the cans from Ontario pop which has no container deposit payable. Automated machines in major Québec supermarkets accept the gold top container for refund but reject any can with a standard aluminium-coloured top. There's also one Coke flavour (diet caffeine-free) which uses a gold-colour can and top everywhere, purely for marketing purposes (which would fool the machine).

Should I {{cn}} both the 2006 date and the gold-top cans? K7L (talk) 22:57, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Royalty is the owner of the trademark, not the operator of the restaurants. See: Investor page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Notwillywanka (talk • contribs) 21:55, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is incorrect. Pizza Pizza expanded to Montreal in the mid-80s, although the stores later closed. Harry the Dog WOOF 12:14, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some converted to a different banner, like the one across the street from the Snowden Metro that became "Double Pizza".--Notwillywanka (talk) 12:45, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have just made some edits towards NPOV. Are the advertising and fan tags still justified? If so, please identify the parts of the article that justify this. If not, let's remove the tags. Ground Zero | t 13:42, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
