We generally get our pizza at Pizzaville, and I find it’s good quality and affordable. I would never get Pizza at Tim’s. In fact, even for my coffee on the road I’ll seek out a McDonalds instead of Tim’s.

I think they should have gone back to their Hamilton roots for this one and looked at the famous "Roma Pizza" made by Roma Bakery, which has become ubiquitous in the Hamilton area.
It's a more dense and bread-like crust spread out on a regular rectangular baking sheet, then a thick coating of sauce is added, and toppings (if any) are put on sparingly. There's no cheese added, so it can easily be vegetarian or vegan.
After baking, the slab is cut into squares and boxed up. It is generally served at room temperature. It's a fixture at BBQ's or birthday parties or family gatherings in Hamilton; someone always gets a box of Roma.
This is exactly the kind of product for the market they want to reach in the afternoon, something calorie dense that's quick and easy to eat; and also very easy to prepare and serve by the square in one of those little parchment holders they use for bagels. The margins on it would be huge. You could serve it room temp or keep one warmed up for choice on demand.

'The Last Timbit': Tim Hortons musical coming to Toronto
In the last year, Tim Hortons has treated cottaging Canadians to a boat drivethru, revived its beloved Dutchie doughnut and launched flatbread pizzas.
But perhaps its biggest surprise will come this summer, on the heels of its 60th anniversary on May 17, when it enters a realm so unexpected for a fast-food giant that even its executives expect some people’s first reactions to be, “What?!”
The head-scratcher will come in the form of "The Last Timbit," a musical for which Tim Hortons has assembled a who’s who of Canadian artists to stage at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto this June.
The production is loosely based on a 2010 snowstorm that was so bad, drivers on a highway east of Sarnia, Ont., were forced to hunker down in cars and others had to wait out the inclement weather at a local Tim Hortons.
Turning the story into a theatrical production was the brainchild of Gut, a marketing firm Tims hired to help it conjure up a way to celebrate its milestone year.

That's what marketing people get paid the big bucks for. People have been waiting out storms in restaurants, truck stops and motels, sometimes even peoples houses for years up north.'The Last Timbit': Tim Hortons musical coming to Toronto

I miss the extra small coffee cup size option. It was usually exactly what I needed.

Same here. I miss the days when coffee shops/cafes had true small sized cups of coffee to go or dine in. We have become more Americanized with these super sized cups. I find the medium or even small cups that are basically medium sized, the coffee goes cold too fast.

Who hasn't spent the day pining away for sneakers that look like a Honey Cruller? Or shoes that remind you of a Boston Cream? What is that leaking out of your shoe......?
Edit, here's 3 of the pairs from the Tim's site:
The donuts in the images relate the 'inspiration'

Jeez Louise, you have one job Tim Hortons, make excellent coffee. Until you get your core product right, stop these distractions.

‘The Last Timbit,’ the new Tim Hortons musical, may be the brand’s worst publicity stunt ever
A who's who of Canadian musical theatre talent can't salvage this 75-minute Tim Hortons ad, masquerading as a wannabe "Come From Away."
