Denman Island Bakery & Pizzeria

I bought a Veggierama take and bake pizza today. It is, without exception, the best pizza I've ever eaten. The crust was amazing, and the mountain of veggies and cheeses was incredibly delicious. The owners, Erica and Bill were so pleasant to deal with. I can't wait to return to this slice of heaven in our valley

I really wanted to love this place and it hurts me to write this review. I was a returning customer and went many times - unfortunately, almost every buy was a fail and I kept giving second chances due to the lovely staff and desire to support local. Every single time I bought bread, it would go moldy after just a couple days. I make my own bread often - I am not very sanitary, and it will last 1-1.5 weeks before going moldy. Not 2-3 days. It makes me very concerned about hygiene at this facility. I bought a cinnamon roll once - was completely raw in the middle. The buns are amateur at best, burger buns dense, and seems like they use the same dough for many different products. That is just lazy and frankly, offensive. When I enter a bakery, I expect something better than the amateur breads I make on my own as they should be experts and I am not. What a disappointment. Please support competent bakeries to make Courtenay a place to be proud of. For tourism, for the people, for honor. However, this place makes me ashamed of our local bread culture. Do better.

Great foccacia bread

Good breads and very good cimmanun buns...

Best pizza and bread ever, in my opinion. ?

Had the meat plus pizza……wow delicious and the dough is so tasty. What a find while staying at an Airbnb in Merville . Highly recommend. Super friendly staff as well!

Love the baked goods and the pizza!

Really amazing date squares. Better than mom used to make.

Always yummy ?

Love the calzones.

This is a true hidden gem. I came across this while stuck in traffic at 5th and Fitzgerald. The breads are excellent but my favourite is the berry scones. These scones are the best I have ever had! Yumm!

Awesome local bakery. Nothing beats their fresh ham and cheese buns. The focaccia is also on point. Staff and owner are super friendly :)
