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?
Pizza Girls
324 Portland Street Dartmouth
Well, the plan was to hit up Pizza Girls (formerly Appetizers Pizza, as they take care to note on their sign) and then watch some classic movies (namely, The Princess Bride - an absolutely splendid movie if you havn’t seen - and a bit of Monty Python). Since this is the Pizza Patrol though, we’ll skip the awesomeness of the movies and move on to Pizza Girls.
Pizza Girls was one of the larger pizzas we have ordered to date - over 250 square inches of pepperoni pizza bliss. Normally we attempt slices, but Pizza Girls doesn’t offer slices so we ordered a special including a massive pepperoni pizza.
