1. Wild Flour Pizza Co. – $40 Pizza Deal
It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Wild Flour Pizza Co. and for Bite of Burnaby 2023, they are offering a great $40 deal. You can choose 2 pizzas and 1 dip of choice. There are so many different options to choose from but my go to pizzas here are: Perfect Storm, Funghi and Blue Pear. For dips my absolute favourite is the dill ranch. This is a great deal I highly recommend you take advantage of!

For Bite of Burnaby 2023, Bin 4 Burger Lounge has a $23 menu (burger + dessert) and a $30 menu (appetizer + burger + dessert).

My pick would be to go for the Bin 11 – Wild mushroom burger which features 63 Acres Premium BC beef, wild mushrooms, garlic, cream, truffle oil, parmigiano, truffle aioli, arugula and tomato.
