Well, that’s what it seemed like, anyway. Jamaican and reggae colors were in full effect. There were more dreadlocks there than I have ever seen in all […] Continue Reading |
Noms!: Bravo Pizza bold and tasty pizza choice for VictoriansLocated on Saanich Road just past Uptown, Bravo Pizza is a small family-style pizza joint. While I can’t say much for the decor, I didn’t really mind because we grabbed our pizza and left. The food was absolutely fantastic.
