Noticed a sign for 3 black bears pizza special $9.90 on the billboard on my way home last night. I tried one tonight and it was a good pizza. The lady on the counter said they were expanding and had opened their Chermside store in recent months. The regular menu price appears to be $11.90.

Sorry I haven't tried de Pascale so I cannot compare.
De Pascale is great if anyone is looking for pizza in chermside. I'm looking forward to trying 3 black bears, haven't heard of them before. Looks decent if the photos on their website are accurate.
Yeah I rate them- living with some mates last year we got a whole bunch of pizzas from different joints on the northside and De Pascale was easily the best. Might give them a try for $9.90
Used these guys in tingalpa, a few times, pizza was ok but I ordered online once and since then I keep getting text messages and emails off them despite me asking to be removed.
Can I ask a local, is "Chermside" pronounced like:
1) the start of "chips", CHermside or
2) the start of "kernal", KERMsideGenuinely curious… like "Manuka" (Marn-IK-ka) in Canberra, or "shopping MALL" in Sydney (like wall or call) vs Melbourne (like pal or gal), or Cockburn in SA (pronounced COE-burn)…. weird localised stuff :).
3) The kids call it Chermy
1) Is correct for 20 points
Thanks mate :).
I'm a fairly frequent customer, they're pretty good pizzas, and on a value for money basis I think they're great.
Back before they swapped their salami and pepperoni to a single mild-pepperoni I rated this place much higher though. The new mild-pepperoni is substantially worse IMO. My partner takes it more seriously and won't even eat the pizzas with the new mild-pepperoni, she's known to be fussy when it comes to salami & pepperoni so don't take that too seriously. This was almost certainly a cost cutting measure, their pizza's originally cost significantly more so I can't really blame them. Possibly not the only cost cutting measure that's impacted the way I rate this place, this one was just really obvious.
I'm kinda surprised their google rating is currently 4.8 stars. I think they deserve it on a value for money basis but I would have thought they would have taken a hit from the period where they experimented with short/no wait time on popular pizzas where the pre-cooked pizza's that had been sitting around a bit too long definitely weren't worthy of 4.8 stars.
Garlic bread is very average, like Domino's. If you want good garlic bread near the Tingalpa store rather than Chermside, try Sambo's Woodfired Restaurant not all that far down the road and grab a garlic cheese calzone from the starter menu.
You rate these guys compared to de Pascale opposite Kedron Wavell?
