Global restaurateur HMSHost has partnered with Canadian dining specialist Boston Pizza International to open an outlet at Edmonton International Airport.
Located at EIA Central Tower, past International and Domestic Security, the space is the brand’s first at an airport. Boston Pizza is said to be Canada’s largest casual dining brand, operating more than 370 restaurants throughout the country, with 107 outlets in Alberta and 25 in Edmonton.
Boston Pizza’s menu includes gourmet hand-pressed dough pizzas, made daily in-house. Customers can choose pizza crust, dipping sauce, cheese, and toppings or select from a Boston Pizza range which includes Spicy Perogy, a combination of sour cream, bacon, and Cactus Cut Potatoes with mozzarella and cheddar, topped with green onions and sour cream.

For young travellers, there is a range of smaller pizzas, pastas and desserts. Boston Pizza and HMSHost have also developed a breakfast menu to include Canadian favourites such as French toast, steak and eggs and a Breakfast Pizza that is topped with mozzarella, smoked bacon, red and green peppers, tomatoes, and egg.
Edmonton International Airport Vice President of Commercial Development Myron Keehn said: “Edmonton International Airport is very proud to host Boston Pizza’s first airport location worldwide. Boston Pizza is a hometown success that started in Edmonton and grew to be loved across Canada and beyond, while HMSHost operates restaurants in over 100 airports worldwide and brings extensive expertise in travel dining. That’s a winning formula, and the biggest winners are our passengers, who are really excited to see Boston Pizza, a family favourite, as a new airport option.”
