Canada's Wonderland guests shocked by steep $60 pizza prices

Guests at Canada's Wonderland are raising concerns about the exorbitant food prices inside the amusement park after a video highlighting an extra-large pizza for a mind-boggling $60 sparked widespread backlash online. 

The TikTok, posted by user MJ, shows a menu at a Pizza Pizza location inside the amusement park, where a 16-inch cheese or pepperoni pizza is listed for $54.99 to $55.99 (more than $63 after tax).

"How did we get here? I don't know if this is like, inflation times five, but I was flabbergasted when I saw this last weekend," MJ said in the video, which has since amassed over 240,000 views and more than 600 comments. 

"I honestly thought this was gonna be like, $30, $35 for like a whole cheese pizza... Who's spending $60 on cheese pizza from Pizza Pizza? Are people actually buying this?" they continued.

The pricing quickly sparked up a debate in the comments section, with many users questioning the markup on food inside the amusement park. 

"You can leave the park… go across the street and buy the SAME pizza from the SAME company [for less]," one commenter noted, while another joked, "I thought that was a phone number, bro," referencing the lengthy price.

Others also shared similar "price gouging" experiences at other chains located in the park, with one person writing, "I paid $42 for a Subway roast beef sandwich. This is insane." 

According to Pizza Pizza's pricing outside of the park, an extra-large pizza typically costs around $19, depending on the toppings you get — less than one-third of the Wonderland price. 

Many suggested that those visiting the attraction on a budget should make use of the park's dining packages. The All Day Dining Plan starts at $32.99 (plus tax and fees) and gets you an entrée and side every 90 minutes at participating locations.

A premium version of the plan ($44.99 plus tax and fees) also includes fountain beverages, available as often as every 15 minutes. 

The park also offers a Single Meal Deal for $19.99 (plus tax and fees), which includes an entrée, a side, and a regular-sized drink.
