About Scratch Kitchen
Scratch Kitchen is a Central Lonsdale restaurant at 140 West 16th Street serving artisan pizzas, share plates, bowls, and plant-based options made from scratch with local ingredients.
Central Lonsdale dining often requires balancing different cravings at one table, and Scratch Kitchen on West 16th Street handles that practical North Shore reality well. The menu extends far beyond its twelve-inch artisan pizzas to include share plates, salads, bowls, and thoughtful plant-based substitutions alongside local craft beer and BC wine. Everything is prepared from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, which shows in dishes like cauliflower wings with buffalo or Korean chili, buttermilk fried chicken with house pickles and burnt honey, and Chill Beets featuring tri-color beets, avocado, orange, basil, candied walnuts, and lemon vinaigrette. It is the kind of spot where you can order a kale Caesar for yourself while someone else dives into pepperoni without anyone feeling shortchanged.
Pizza remains the anchor here, with options ranging from a classic Margherita with fior di latte and fresh basil to more adventurous builds like Hot Momma with spicy salametti and Calabrian chilies or Brussel Sprout with onion jam and parsley pesto. Gluten-free crusts and vegan cashew mozzarella are available for those who need them, and the kitchen also serves teriyaki rice bowls with crispy tofu, grilled chicken, or glazed wild salmon. This flexibility makes it useful for weeknight takeout after a rainy hike, casual dates, or family dinners where dietary needs vary wildly. You get ingredient-aware cooking in a relaxed setting that fits the current mood of our neighborhood, proving that a pizza-focused restaurant can still offer genuine variety for everyone at the table.
