Why is it called Boston Pizza if it has nothing to do with Boston?
I asked a waitress at one of the Ontario loactions and she said it was because the gys favorite hockey team was the Bruins.
According to http://www.bostonsgourmet.com/about/our-heritage/, the American Boston Pizza website's history page, the name was simply recognizable due to the large number of popular entities with the name Boston. (Right at the end there, if I read it correctly.)
As an aside, has anyone else noticed that the George Melville link in the first couple paragraphs links to Rear Admiral Melville, who died in 1912? ( 68.149.176.81 ( talk) 00:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC))
Yes, I realize that there is likely a controversy; however, unless the controversy starts to receive mainstream media coverage, we can not neutrally verify it and it must stay out of the Wikipedia article until we can verify it using a neutral source. Andy Saunders 15:17, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Does a link to the Facebook petition against it count? -- Cbd2000 06:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I'd hardly call that neutral. Andy Saunders 13:26, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
