About Penticton Pizza & Subs
Pizza and submarine sandwiches have shared a counter for generations, and the pairing makes sense once you look at the kitchen behind it. Both run on the same dough oven and the same cold table of meats, cheese and vegetables, and both suit an order placed for pickup on the way home. A shop working this way can put out a family sized pie and a couple of hot subs from the same short list of ingredients, which is precisely why the combination has outlasted so many food trends.
Penticton Pizza and Subs keeps its counter at 723 Main St, along the corridor that runs the length of the city and carries most of its everyday traffic. Anyone crossing town for other reasons passes it, and that is a large part of how a takeout shop earns its living. Penticton is small enough that food ordered here is still hot by the time it reaches a house at either end of the city or a picnic table down by the water.
The practical questions are the usual ones. Ask about sizes before ordering for a crowd, since pizza dimensions vary more between shops than the names on the menu suggest. Check whether the subs are toasted, and specify how you want the dressing and hot peppers handled. On a hot summer evening in the middle of tourist season, phoning ahead beats standing at the counter waiting, and giving a pickup time rather than asking how long it will be tends to produce a better answer.
