Downtown Burlington has a new place for pizza, wings and shawarma: Hi-Line Pizza Wings & Shawarma, at 2027 Lakeshore Road.

The Burlington Lions Club, the volunteer service group that runs the city's Festival of Lights, says Hi-Line treated its festival setup volunteers to lunch. "Thanks for feeding our volunteers, Hi-Line, and welcome to downtown Burlington!" the club wrote.

As for what to order, the club points diners to the restaurant's chicken shawarma pizza, which it calls a fan favourite, and gave "special props" to the pickle pizza, too.

The lights those volunteers are putting up will glow just along the same street. The Burlington Festival of Lights returns to Spencer Smith Park, at 1400 Lakeshore Road, filling the waterfront with holiday light displays.

This is the second year the Lions Club has run the festival, and the club says it has "some pretty big dreams for it." The festival runs from Friday, Nov. 27 to Sunday, Jan. 3.
