7 reviews for Sunrise Pizza & Steak House
All Reviews
Cheesy pizza doesn't get cheesier. Plus the free appetizer with EVERY pitcher of beer is pretty much the best deal on the drive. Awesome pitas. When craving some grease, this is where it is at.

A great little neighbourhood pizza/pasta joint. True, the decor is tacky in that it's dark and stuck… Read more »
We returned there recently after having said we would not. It was later in the evening and we'd already walked the length of The Drive without finding any food. Most places were either closed or didn't strike our fancy. I will admit hunger drove me to give this place another chance.
I notice in the window that the sign stating that they are looking for Experienced Waitresses is still up.... if anyone is looking for a job ....
This time we didn't have the same problems with service as we were one of two couples in the place and the other couple was already eating.
I ordered the chicken souvlaki and it was quite delicious. Honey ordered some pasta with meatballs and said he was quite satisfied with his meal.
I'm upgrading this to a 3star as it was A-OK. This place is no longer on my 'do not visit' list, but considering all the other options on The Drive and elsewhere it might be a while before I return.

Have been experiencing a craving for pizza and italian food lately so I thought I'd return to this… Read more »
I mentioned Sunrise Pizza in a previous review and thought I'd better give them a little love as well.
Sunrise is a lunchtime staple around my office. We are there at least once a week and it's not just the cheap prices that keep us coming back, though it helps. Two can dine for under $20 with tip included! The service is friendly with our regular server greeting us warmly each time we come in and remembering our favorite orders. The Greek Salads is generous and mounded with feta, the club house is enormous and comes with a heaping side of always-fresh fries. You can't go wrong with an 'impossible to finish' plate of lasagna for under $6 and there is always a daily special.
The pizza at Sunrise is my favorite in town. The perfect blend of cheese and lots of toppings. The crust is nice and thick and obviously home made, not from frozen.
Stop by after work for a pitcher of Granville Island Beer and get a free appetizer. With $13 pitchers, its a steal of a deal. But only try the wings if your mouth can withstand volcano levels of hot!
Sunrise has a kitschy, 80's family joint kinda vie that only makes me love it more. Its definitely one of my favorite places to visit on the Drive and by far one of the best bangs for your eating out buck in the area!
Listed in: Why drive to Commercial Drive?
In keeping with the wide variety of restaurants on Commercial Drive, Sunrise Pizza is the staple Italian pizza parlor, cooking up pasta and steaks and serving them on red and white checkered table tops. The feel is nostalgic, quaint and sophisticated, sort of similar to the place where Michael shot the police chief in the first Godfather. Great for families, and homely dates.
A well kept secret is that every pitcher of beer comes with your choice of a free appetizer, the best selection of which would be the calamari.
I'm not sure that I had ever noticed this place before I ate their pizza. We had it delivered, so I can't comment on the building.
However, the pizza was good! I would rank it higher than all the other walk-up places like, Fresh Slice, Megabite, Pizza Amore, Uno, etc. I'm not sure what kind of cheese blend they use- but it was really good. the crust was fluffy- but had no additional seasoning. A reliable pizza with the option of delivery!
Ok the line up at Marcello's is way too long to wait, I'm on the Drive and not wanting the ambience of Stella's or any of the other hang-outs, so down the hill for a great North America style pizza, I guess it is Canadian style or New York style (but not as big or foldable) definitely not Chicago style or Chicago's pretender San Francisco style. They have been serving pizzas for years and are a mainstay on lower Commercial.
After being disappointed by Uncle Fatih's pizza a few times, my boyfriend and I decided to find another pizza place on the drive that had delivery, and we found Sunrise. The pizza here is awesome!! I'm really happy with this place, the pizza is just the way I like it, the delivery is quick, and the service is friendly. We'll definitely be ordering from here often!
