We were looking for somewhere for a late lunch and the owner of the shoe store next door recommended the Ollivanders. A good choice. We sat on the deck and enjoyed the afternoon sun. Inside was looking sad and was too warm. The waitress made us welcome. We had the deep pan veggie pizza and our daughter had the pasta.... More

I love the pizzas here, worn out kind of inside, seating the the greatest. Outside courtyard is nice in warmer weather. I have been to Ollivanders more than i can count on one hand and it is still a favourite for pizza. Not sure on the rest of the menu.Service can be slow if busy, but normally pretty good.

Although the setting is not elaborate and older, the pizza is wonderful. Lots of toppings and you can have your choice of crust (thin, regular and deep dish). Recommend the deep dish pizza. Very tasty and filling. Excellent homemade crusts. Friendly staff but they are busy and limited workers in busy times. Would be an excellent choice for takeout/delivery.

Pretty good food but the strong odor of mildew/must from the old building overpowers the cooking smells

I have always loved their pizza because they dont skimp on the toppings. I grew up in qualicum and enjoyed it more when it was called " the sawmill". I find it dark, cold and there are not enough staff most of the time. I rarely go now that i live in parksville, but when in qualicum i have to... More

We order Pizza from Ollivanders and it is one of the best in the area. During the winter they have a special half price off the second pizza with a coupon you get in the local paper. Great Pizza when you don't want to cook.

We waited more then 30 minutes for hamburgers. There was only two other tables, so the restaurant was not busy.

I dine out alot, and have never had a truly horrible experience untill Ollivanders. I guess I made the mistake of ordering Salmon from a Pizza place, but the salmon was Extremely overcooked and hard, and the vegetables were greasy. I could not eat the meal. Service was non existent, not even one smile from the server, and they still... More
