Welcome to the Sawmill Taphouse and Grill, the home of good food for good people. Since 2017, Sawmill Taphouse has sought to bring the best Pacific Northwest craft beers, and forno oven pizzas. We pride ourselves on our authentic tapas and appetizers in an incredible atmosphere fit for the whole family.

Now with two locations (Victoria + Chemainus), the Sawmill offers a unique selection fresh forno oven pizzas, and slow-cooked smoked meat. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are all available. Come on in for a birthday, corporate function, or just kick back with friends after a long day. If you’d rather enjoy our cooking from the comfort of your own home, check us out on OpenTable. Open a table yourself, as you can find all our of menus available hot and ready to go out the door.

Our restaurant is open every day, serving our forno oven pizzas and flame grilled briskets. Our restaurant’s menu is perfectly curated by our executive chef to bring you the perfect brewery experience while stimulating your palette.

As Traveler’s Island said, “There’s really nothing quite like The Sawmill Taphouse and Grill in Chemainus, or the Cowichan Valley for that matter. Unassuming from the outside, The Sawmill starts with an urban vibe and marries that with Chemainus town history to bring a lively, warm and vibrant dining experience with quality made-from-scratch food.”

SAWMILL TAPHOUSE & GRILL CELEBRITY CHEF: DECEMBER

Santa Claus

Pizza: The Naughty and Nice

Charity: Goldstream Food Bank

The big man himself has gotten into the culinary Christmas spirit by helping our executive chef Darcy Creamore design a pizza that calls on naughty ingredients (spicy) as well as nice ones (sweet or savoury). Now being crafted and baked in our forno ovens in both Chemainus and Colwood, this delicious combination starts with a base of barbecue sauce over a hand-stretched crust. Up next is a layer of cheddar cheese, followed by caramelized onions, pulled pork, fresh pineapple, pickled jalapenos and fior di latte mozzarella, topped out of the oven with a hot honey drizzle and parsley garnish, to give it that final holiday touch. This month will see $5 from each pizza sold donated to the Goldstream Food Bank, which is currently in urgent need of donations.

Gourmet Forno Pizza

A GOOD Life is like pizza:

What you put in to it, and how you slice it.
