There are 348 Boston Pizza restaurants in Canada and over 40 in the United States and Mexico. The Boston Pizza I have been visiting is the one in Saint John, New Brunswick. When you think of Boston Pizza's food, you might think of their pizza, or maybe the pasta. However, they do have nachos as well.

Distribution of Toppings
The nachos look very promising in the "before" picture. However, there were a lot of bare chips left over at the end during our January and October visits in 2023. I thought they were improving in this aspect, but it looks like they are back to not layering their nachos.
Quality
The flavors popped from both the vegetables and the meat and the cheese was nicely melted and delicious. If you are getting Boston Pizza nachos, I would recommend the spicy chicken over the beef because the beef is pretty plain, just the ground beef you would get on a pizza. I think they should use either a taco spiced ground beef, or traditional beef (steak) to go on their nachos.
Value
The starter size is $16.49 and the large plate is $20.79 including meat, salsa and sour cream. If you want to add guacamole it is $3.99 extra. There was plenty of dip to go with the chips as well. Since the distribution of toppings is not as good anymore and there are not as many chips with cheese on them, the value of these nachos has decreased.
Quantity
The appetizer size will fill one person for a meal. The large size is enough to have as an appetizer for 3-5 people but good for 2 people if it is to be shared as a large meal. I received three big dips that were sufficient for my appetizer-sized nachos as well as my regular-sized nachos.
Conclusion
Boston Pizza has maintained its quality of toppings and large quantities. The rating has dropped because of the drop in quality (distribution of toppings). Distribution is so important, it gets its own section! I went in January and October of 2023 and had the same exact experience. They are very consistent, but some improvements need to be made in order for them to be considered excellent nachos.
