So finally we made our way to Salvatore’s, considered by many one of the top pizza destinations in Halifax. Did it stand up to the hype, or were we in for a huge disappointment? Read on!
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.
Once the pizza came, it was time to get down to business. As Salvatore’s put it, it was the *ultimate thin crust pizza*. It was a thing of beauty. The crust was perfect - crispy, but not too much so. The cheese was delectable - slightly stringy, but yet full and oh so flavorful. The sauce was marvelous. They had a good amount of sauce, nice and tomato-y, but with spices to add that extra ummph of flavor. The only real downside that I could find with the pizza was the lack of pepperoni. Some slices had a good amount, while other slices had only a minimal amount of pepperoni. Other than that, Salvatore’s produced a fine pie, worthy of one of the higher scores from the Pizza Patrol, and also worthy of being considered one of Halifax’s finer offerings on the pizza scene.
4/5. A must do for any pizza lover in Halifax.

I ordered from here last night partly on the review here and the menu i spoted at another website and man, it was a pure gormet experience. I never had pizza taste so good. The spices and ingredients used are all top of the line. My only mistake was not getting large for 2 people. I had med. Lombardia last night and tonight im getting large Pizza Tutto Carne.
