Alexandra’s Pizza
1263 Queen Street Halifax
So to kick off a new year of university, we decided to hit up the Coast’s 2006 Best Pizza Slice winner, Alexandra’s Pizza. Located near both Dal and SMU, coupled with its late hours, make Alexandra’s Pizza a great place for university students to get a slice whenever the craving hits them.
East Side Mario’s
21 Micmac Boulevard Dartmouth
Leaning my chair back against a half finished brick wall and sitting next to the Statue of Liberty holding a tomato brought a unique atmosphere to East Side Mario’s, even down to the map showing where Mario had his first kiss. ‘m not sure if its always been this way, but the pizza came square. It’s just not the same if it comes as square.
Tomavino’s Cellar Ristorante
5173 South Street Halifax
To anyone who has been to Tomavino’s recently, you know that they are the reigning champions of Halifax pizza, proudly displaying their trophy for the 2006 year in the entry way. Onto the restaurant itself, we walked down into the dungeon like atmosphere (at least, after being outside it seemed dungeony). After adjusting to the light however, it was actually not a bad looking place. Very nice atmosphere. I got a lemon *and* a lime on my beverage. Classy.
Salvatore’s Pizzaiolo Trattoria
5541 Young Street Halifax
First, let’s start with the actual setting itself: Salvatore’s tried to get that small Italian restaurant feeling going for it, and I must say it wasn’t too bad. Walking in, you could tell there was something different from the average pizza place in Halifax. They had a slightly sophisticated air, all the way down to the cloth napkins (although I’m not a fan of cloth napkins, but thats a moot point). They also included the best beverage known to mankind on their menu, the Italian soda. Mmmmm. I didn’t order one though, but thats what I get for not looking at the menu.
Freeman’s Little New York
6092 Qunipool Road Halifax
“Halifax’s second oldest pizza maker
- Freeman’s
“The best pizza in town
- Bill Cosby
Freeman’s Little New York proclaims itself as the second oldest pizza maker in Halifax. Does older equate better? Will Freeman’s live up to the exceptions of second oldest, or will it fall short of the coveted number one spot in the pizza hall of fame?
