Best Pizza Restaurants In Halifax

Located in the trendy Hydrostone Market in a narrow, lightly decorated space, Salvatore’s Pizzaiolo Trattoria has won multiple recognitions as Halifax’s best pizza.
Owner Chris Cuddihy considers his restaurant a “purist” establishment and does not allow for substitutions or additions to his specialty pizzas and only allows for three extra toppings on their original pizza. Carefully constructed, the pizzas on offer are a sublime mingling of fresh ingredients and bold, clean flavors.
Featured at different points as a bronze, silver and gold winner in The Coast’s famous “Best of Halifax” contest and on Food Network’s “You Gotta Eat Here!” Salvatore’s Pizzaiolo tasty offerings are making waves nationwide.

A new contender, Mother’s Pizza opened in April 2012 in the north end of Halifax to accolades from customers.
Neighbour to top contender Salvatore’s, Mother’s Pizza offers family style seating in a light-filled space with impeccable service and even a custom light ale blended exclusively for Mother’s Pizza by local brewer Garrison Brewery.
Their nine or 16-inch pizzas are ripe with flavours and several interesting ingredient mixes, such as The Kitchen Sink, a pizza with six toppings ranging from onions and mozzarella to thuringer sausage and zucchini.
Still a young restaurant, Mother’s Pizza has already placed in The Coast’s Best of Halifax contest and has loving reviews posted by happy customers on TripAdvisor and Yelp.

Originally opened in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Piatto Pizzeria is a pie with high standards.
A celebrated thin-crust pizza restaurant that devotes itself to all things Italian, Piatto’s Verace Pizza Napoletana certification (a seal of approval from an Italian governing association in Naples) distinguishes itself as a rare breed pizzeria.
Piatto believes in each pizza being a work of art, and their flavor profiles are great examples of this. Offering both ‘white’ (a base of EVOO) and ‘red’ pizzas (a base of San Marzano tomato sauce), their pizzas are classic tastes of Italy with Margherita, Marinara and Siciliana offerings. An ever-changing menu means getting bored is out of the question.
Need to wet your whistle while you’re here? Piatto also offers a well-balanced wine list and tastings every month.

Representing central Halifax is Bramoso Gourmet Pizzeria, a pizzeria devoted to health, sustainability and local food. Self-defined as having ‘open-minded menus’, Bramoso is willing to explore flavor combinations you may not find in our other contenders.

Take for example their veggie/traditional pizza that offers a base of fresh garlic puree and EVOO, a layer of baby spinach, tomatoes and tender, marinated artichoke hearts and finished with feta cheese and mozzarella and a sprinkling of oregano, you won’t even remember to miss the meat.
