I don't go for places that crank out paper-thin cheap-ass 3-for-1 pizza, like Mr Bones, dominoes, etc etc. To me, good pizza means they don't skimp on the cheese and the toppings and the meat. Put some sauce on there, not just a few dabs, and make sure that crust is GOOD, as in tasty and crispy. Gondola and those others I mentioned are all consistently excellent about that, and there is nothing worse than dropping thirty bucks on an order from a new pizza joint and having cheap-shit pizza arrive at your door.

i have not tried those places, i have lived outside of winnipeg for over 13 years, but every year i make a trip there.
i go for the Thunderbird mostly.
its a year round wait just to bite into those burgers, they have been amazing for like 40 years, my Dad even used to eat at the Thunderbird daily and he says that quality in burger has not changed.
the owner has been there day in and out serving the same burgers since its opening, id hate to see that place be sold but i have a feeling that he will keep it in his family. Thunderbird has become a tradition in Winnipeg, well in the north end anyway.
