Warm up with thai chicken bites in sweet chili sauce nested snugly on a bed of crunchy noodles and finished with vegetables ($8.99) before pioneering saucy landscapes of pizzas such as the original spicy perogy pizza blanketed in sour cream, smoked bacon, and potatoes cut with the prickly end of a cactus ($16.25 for a small). Chefs sling internationally inspired pizzas, such as Cajun shrimp swimming in garlic-and-sun-dried-tomato sauce ($16.25 for a small), or allow patrons to craft their own custom pizzas with a list of toppings and a 20-sided die. Diners preferring starchier sensations can savour chipotle-bacon penne tossed in seasonings, smoked bacon, and alfredo sauce with mushrooms ($15.49) before taking in the World Series of Cribbage match on one of the pizzeria’s wide-screen plasma TVs. Boston Pizza also supports a number of local and national charities such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Alberta Cancer Foundation, and Youth Emergency Shelter Society.

Each dough halo is forged from highly refined, low-gluten Caputo ’00’ flour and hand-stretched before being gilded with fresh toppings including sauce made with imported Campania tomatoes, fio-di-latte cheese, and basil leaves shaped like Caesar’s laurels. An appetizer of house-made meatballs ($10) rolls beef, pancetta, and italian sausage into meaty orbs, and the roasted vegetables and pesto-ricotta cheese featured in the Sophia Loren sandwich ($11) slink into stomachs atop a chaise longue of oven-baked bread. Diners can quell circular cravings with a nibbles of a scrumptious pie, such as a red Vesuvio pizza ($13.50) festooned with spicy sopressata (salami) and lava-infused cracked chili pepper. The snowy planes of white pizzas, such as a pear gorgonzola pie ($14.50) dappled with sliced anjou pears and roasted pine nuts, keep seersucker dining bibs from acquiring unsightly stains. Conclude meals with a sweet post-prandial epilogue such as the dolce and banana ($7), a confection that combines oven-roasted bananas with a jaunty cap of caramelized brown sugar, crushed pecans, and vanilla-bean gelato.

Rajdoot serves up an extensive selection of authentic Indian fare including tandoori, curry, and more than 15 vegetarian entrees in a cozy environment marked by elaborate wall art, colourful dishes, and mood-enhancing soft music. Bands of merrymakers can embark upon gustatory sojourns and decide on a song to hum while chewing over appetizers such as paneer pakora that renders taste buds speechless with marinated homemade cheese fritters and chutney. Engage in verbal fencing between bouts of actual fencing afforded by the seekh kebab afghanistani, a vertical assembly of marinated minced beef arranged on a musketeer-worthy skewer. Mandibles remain in motion as they devour the house specialty, Rajdoot invitation azamani, a butter-sauce-slathered chicken tikka dish; herbivorous palates disprove an oracle’s predictions of scurvy with a serving of the saag aloo, a mildly spiced spinach dish.

Sides of Naan Khyber Pass and basmati rice serve as tried-and-true entree accompanists, dutifully escorting main dishes to mouths. Chattering diners and sweet teeth alike fall into awed silence with the delivery of a dessert such as a gulab jamun that gilds creamy pastry in a patina of balmy honey sauce.
