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?
Gatsby’s Pub and Eatery
5675 Spring Garden Road Halifax
“The best pizza in town
- Bill Cosby
March 28, 1998
I may not fully agree with Bill, but Gatsby’s was good. The overall atmosphere was a nice change from most pizza joints. Nice plates, too. Very pizza friendly.
Gatsbys was the first place the Patrol has gone that wasn’t big chain or have the feel of small joint. It had that pub feeling. It was a pub, so I guess that would explain it. But the pool tables were closed, so shame on you Gatsby.
Jim’s Pizza House
243 Bedford Highway Halifax
What better to do on a Friday afternoon then go out with some friends to get some good pizza? This Friday was a bit different though, as we had guest pizza critique Kim along to join us on the Pizza Patrol.
We went to Jim’s Pizza House, a small local restaurant and ordered a large pepperoni pizza. Other than the cheap price, the pizza didnt have much to talk about. It brought to mind a store bought frozen pizza that you cook at home. It just had that taste about it. The sauce wasn’t very good at all, and the crust was very store-boughtish. The cheese was good, and there was lots of it. Nice and stringy. A bit dissappointing as the restaurant smelled delicious as we walked in.
Uncle Buck’s
1030 South Park Street Haliax
On the drive home, there’s a sign that reads “Uncle Buck’s - Opening Soon.” Well, it’s been saying that for at least six months, so who knows when it will open. Regardless of that, the nest stop for the Pizza Patrol was Uncle Buck’s in Halifax, right near the university.
To start it off, Uncle Buck’s loses big points for cleanliness and ease of sitting. All of the tables had various items on them, from spilt salt, to fries to papers. The chairs that were against the wall were impossible to get into without some athletic agility, which I of course possess and so I volunteered to sit in one of those very awkward seats in the least shifty looking table.
Razzy’s Pizza
2103 Gottingen Street Halifax
I had a goal of trying to eat through one of Razzy’s slices of pizza for a while now. I had heard of the place back when it was known as Rassy’s and heard that it has the biggest slice in the Maritimes. I was intrigued, to say the least.
Finally, months later, we finally made the effort to go to Rassy’s only to discover it was closed. A few days later it was brought to my attention that Razzy’s, just around the corner from the old Rassy’s, wa indeed the same place moved about 20 feet and with ‘z’’s instead of ’s’’s.
