Love this place! Constantly going in for the donairs and occasionally pizza after moving from edmonton i wasn't sure if I'd find a good donair place but i found the best donair I'd ever had

I ordered a massive order of pizzas from this restaurant for my wedding, and wow was the pizza absolutely amazing! Not only was the food fantastic but the service as well, we called a few days prior to our wedding and the owner was able to accommodate us very well, we were advised that they don’t provide delivery but that they would make an exception for us which was awesome, the only regret we had was not being there at the time of delivery to be able to thank the owner in person when he dropped the delivery off at the hall for us. Highly recommend this place, we had so many people ask us where we ordered the pizza from too, it was a total hit!

Never heard of this place before. The company I work for ordered about 15 pizzas for lunch today from this place. Crazy good food! Would totally recommend Grasshoppers to anyone looking for a great local establishment...and definitely if you want to go for a short drive. It would be worth it. The food was that good! Thank you!

Big fan! The folks here are sweet and their timing estimates for when your food will be ready is pretty dead on. Their Donair and sweet sauce are delicious (recommend getting an extra sweet sauce on the side). I prefer a donair with just tomato, onion and sauce, no cheese or lettuce. Also love their Donair Pizza. I get it with the sweet sauce instead of tomato sauce base. The Chicken Supreme pizza is another winner, we get it with the Ranch sauce base. I like it the way it comes regularly, but also like it with no Tomato and add sausage. If you're in town or just passing through, give them a try. You won't regret it

Fantastic business locally owned and operated by an awesome family. Genuinely the best donair in the Edmonton area!

Was in town for a few days working with a film crew. Let me tell you, Grasshopper restaurant is a Calmar must! Not only are you greeted by the friendliest husband and wife duo, you also get very large portions for what you pay for. They were extremely attentive to our large order and offered service with a smile. The donair sub I had at lunch was very filling, the next day I came back and tried their delicious pizza! If you are passing thru or stopping by, be sure to try grasshopper restaurant! Ill be sure to come back!
