Ben "Brunch Evangelist" B.'s Profile

Sweet mother of pizza.

In a city that has a cultural late-night landmark called Pizza Corner, it's no surprise that this most beautiful of foods is never far no matter where you are in the city. As a bit of a connoisseur (read: fatface with no self-restraint), I'm proud to toss my opinion into the ring on the wide range of glorious goodness that you can find in Halifax pizza shops. I gladly commit to updating this list regularly if for no other reason than it gives me a reason to keep eating.

1. Morris East

5212 Morris St
Halifax, NS B3J 1B4
(902) 444-7663

Categories: Pizza, Canadian (New), Cafes

Update - 3/17/2011

Oh Morris East...you're too good to me. Last night's soundtrack of Prince's greatest hits while sipping strawberry-infused Bee's Knees cocktails? There is little better on this earth. I think I've ended up at this South End game-changer at least once…More »

Clean, classy, and hip - this is no ordinary pizza joint. With its own wood-fired oven, their thin… Read more »

2. Ristorante a Mano

1477 Lower Water St
Halifax, NS B3J 3Z4
(902) 423-6266

Category: Italian

With a more welcoming, community feel than its popular sister restaurant Il Mercato, A Mano really does feel like a hint of Italy in our city. That does mean that the place can get quite loud and boisterous in the evenings (so intimate discussions…More »

Living in a city with a thriving Lebanese culture, my standards for pizza are admittedly high. Like...living-in-Ontario-with- nothing-but-PizzaPizza-damn-ne ar-killed-me high. So trying out this local chain was a bit of a risk when we have so many…More »

The home of my favourite pizza sauce and late night big slice in town! And if you know just how many pizza places there are in this city...that's saying a lot. If you're feeling daring, pop in to try one of their specialty poutines which can come…More »

Consistently lives up to the legacy created by the iconic Queen Street location that keeps the South End hipsters at risk of not fitting into their skinny jeans. The Dartmouth location is admittedly lower key, but seems to be hopping busy on any…More »

Okay fine. I'll just come out and say it. I don't actually like drinking and partying so much as I love using it as an excuse to indulge in a whole other mealtime at three in the morning. And this, my friends, is why I love Halifax...because it not…More »

Categories: Pizza, Fish & Chips, Tex-Mex

6/20/2011

Of all the mom-and-pop pizza shops that we're oh-so lucky to have in Halifax, Revana's is a long-standing favourite. The shop itself is about as no-frills as you can get, but the pizza itself is tough to beat!

Sure - it's not gourmet, it's not…More »

Salvatore's ruined take-out pizza for me. When I was working in the Hydrostone I became beyond spoiled when every meeting was catered with any one of these gourmet, thin crust beauties. With fresh and flavourful ingredients, a bold sauce, and a…More »

Tarek's Café, the city's beloved provider of garlic-infused mealtimes, has recently expanded into Bedford just a stone's throw from Sunnyside Mall in a bare bones take-out space that's perfect for grabbing great Lebanese cuisine to go. We popped in…More »

Il Mercato was one of the first favourite restaurants of my adult years, dating back to when it was in its old Spring Garden location down toward Queen Street and I was still in high school.

It was exquisite then, it's delicious now, and I'm sure I'll…More »

I'm so glad that Tomavino's managed to rally to keep its south end location after the double drama of the fire and the closure of the short-lived Bedford branch. Tom's has always been a favourite dinner destination for me as well as a secret take-out…More »

I'm going to take one from the book of more particular yelpers and note that this is probably more like a 3.5-star rating instead of your basic three. Better than A-OK, but not quite reaching fan-worthy status, I had a nice long-overdue first visit…More »

Pretty decent pies to be found at this little stand off to the side of Pete's Frootique in the Sunnyside Mall.

Six or so regular features are premade for the lunch hour for easy to-go munching including multiple vegetarian options, each more exciting…More »

Finally made it to Bramoso's market booth on the second floor of the Seaport Market today and boy am I glad I did!

First off, they're in the upper corner that is pretty much made for me. You know...the one next to Java Blend, an Indian resto, a…More »

I finally made it into the homebase for Bramoso, a lesser known but surprisingly awesome pizza joint in the Canadian Tire strip on Quinpool Road. This was one of the first places that caught my eye once I started yelping and I can't believe it took a…More »
