Jefferey’s on Henderson at Whellams Lane (south of chief peguis trail) had great pizza and wings. It’s been a while since I ate there.
Used to be Angelo's Pizza way back when.
Family ordered from there a couple times a month.
$3.80 for a large pepperoni pizza including delivery.

I miss the giant bucket of Chicken signs many of the old KFC restaurants had. I always thought they were hilarious.
My favourite KFC was the one in Moosomin SK, it used to have an all you could eat lunch buffet. Any time me and my buddies would do a road trip out west, we would stop in Moosomin for lunch. Being a family style franchise they had additional things in the buffet you wouldn’t find on the menu, like perogies and meatballs in gravy.

Gotta be honest, I cannot stand KFC fried chicken. Over breaded, over salty, greasy and taste has always been soso.
Chicken Delight has always been better fried chicken IMO, and Chicken Chef a step below. Popeyes I found a bit underwhelming but probably because I was expecting to much.
Red Top restaurant also had very good fried chicken.

Clancy's roadhouse? I think that goes back to about the mid-80s? There was one on Meadowood and another on south Pembina across from where the Zeller's was. Oh we used to get smashed there. I don't remember all the details but I got back from Australia and met some buddies there. I was able to pull off a pretty passable accent at the time and we won some contest that resulted in us having a $50 gift card. We were supposed to come back again to use it but we convinced them I was flying home to Australia the next day so they let us use it that night. We ordered gin and rockaberry coolers (as the mix, silly). Oh, not a good idea.
I recall people eating but we never did, it was all about the booze.

I remember when there was an Angelo's Pizza at that exact location, back when I was in high school.

Best pizza joint I ever experienced in Winnipeg was at the old Big Boy's Pizza on Henderson Hwy (just before the Nor-Villa). Incredible thin crust... like pie. And always very generous with the cheese and toppings. When I lived down town, I'd drive all the way there for pick-up.
Local (Winkler) product. Wife tried some at a demo at the local Big Kitty and came home with 2 pies. Very good thin (flaky pastry) crust. Quite expensive for frozen pizza, however.

The last time I remember being there before it turned into Jeffrey's was when we watched Steve Smith's "own goal" during the Oilers vs Flames game in the lounge.Used to be Angelo's Pizza way back when.

I'd be all over it. I lived on meat pies at bus stations and sandwiches from carvery's when I was traveling around Australia. I had about $20/day for housing and food and half that went to the hostel. Added Gyros to the menu late in the trip but meat pies were dominant in my diet.
This thread is pretty amusing, bringing up a lot of old memories.
The in-store cafeteria in Woolco (Grant Park)? LOL, yeah... I remember that and bugging my mom to stop in there for something.
The old Pancake House at Polo Park would also have these tall cylinders full of smarties at the cashier (and other assorted toys). Every time we went, I would ask if they can buy me something extra (almost always I was unsuccessful)

I'd be there in a flash. The old Belgian Bakery on Corydon, where the Falafel place is now, used to have the best meat pies. I'd go there every Saturday morning with my Mom.

I used to love that place! My grandfather worked at Woolco Grant Park, so I was there quite a bit.
King Pie (meat pies)was a South African Chain that lasted in Winnipeg for a very short time. I recall one at polo park and one in portage place. Portions were small
