A Boston Pizza gift card is a simple, flexible present for birthdays, holidays, thank-you gifts, and group celebrations. The recipient can choose their own meal, and the giver does not have to guess dietary preferences or a favourite dish. This guide explains, in general terms, how buying, using, and gifting a Boston Pizza gift card in Canada usually works, and what to check before you hand one over.
Gift card programs can change, and terms may differ by card type or purchase location. Treat the information on the card itself, and the terms given at purchase, as the final word for your card.

Where gift cards are usually bought
Boston Pizza gift cards are commonly available in restaurants, and may also be sold through other retail or online channels depending on current availability. If you want a physical card to present in person, buying in a restaurant is usually the most straightforward option. If you are sending a gift over a distance, check whether a digital option is offered through the official channel you are using, and confirm the delivery method before you pay.
How to use a gift card
In general, a gift card is presented or entered as payment at the time of ordering or paying, up to the remaining balance on the card. If the meal costs more than the balance, the remaining amount is usually paid with another payment method. If the meal costs less, the remaining balance normally stays on the card for a later visit, subject to the card’s terms.
- Present the card before paying, so staff can apply it correctly.
- Keep the card until the transaction is complete and the receipt shows the payment.
- Note the remaining balance after your visit, especially if you plan to use the card again.
- Check whether the card can be used for dine-in, takeout, delivery, or all of these, as acceptance can vary.
Gifting tips that make the card more useful
A gift card works best when the recipient knows how much is on it and where it can be used. If you are giving a physical card, add a short note with the occasion and, if you know it, the amount. For a group gift, consider pairing the card with a suggestion from our Boston Pizza best sellers ranked guide, so the recipient has a starting point without being locked into one dish.
Also think about timing. A card given before a birthday dinner or a group outing is more likely to be used promptly than one tucked away for later. If the recipient travels, remind them to confirm that their local restaurant accepts the card before ordering.
Checking a balance and keeping a card safe
Before a visit, it helps to know the remaining balance so there are no surprises at payment. Our companion guide, how to check a Boston Pizza gift card balance, explains the usual ways to check without relying on an unverified link or number. Treat a gift card like cash: keep it in a safe place, do not share any card number or code publicly, and keep the purchase receipt until the balance is used.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Boston Pizza gift card be used for delivery?
Acceptance can depend on the card type and the ordering channel. Confirm with the restaurant or the delivery channel you plan to use before placing the order.
What happens if my order costs more than the card balance?
Usually you pay the difference with another payment method. The card’s remaining balance is then zero, unless the terms say otherwise.
Does a gift card expire?
Expiry and fee rules depend on the card’s terms and applicable law in your province. Check the terms printed on the card or given at purchase, and use the card promptly if you are unsure.
