I’d start with Salvatore’s if you want a Halifax name people actually argue about. It has that old North End feel and it’s the place I usually take someone when they ask for a safe first pizza choice in the city.
I’m moving to Halifax next month. Where do people usually go when they want really good pizza?
I’m trying to learn the city a little before I arrive. I’m not looking for a chain place, more the kind of pizza people actually recommend to friends.
Replies mention Halifax pizza spots such as Salvatore’s, Rinaldo’s, Lou Pécou, and Yeah Yeahs, with people comparing casual takeout, North End options, and places they would bring visiting family.
Answers & Discussion
Rinaldo’s gets mentioned a lot in my circle, especially if you like that classic Halifax/New York-ish style. I would try both Rinaldo’s and Salvatore’s before deciding which camp you’re in.
Lou Pécou is worth trying if you want something a bit more handmade and different from the usual pizza night. It is not the cheapest option, but the crust and toppings feel more special.
Don’t ignore Yeah Yeahs either. I’ve ordered from them when friends came over and nobody complained. Halifax has more good pizza than people expect once you start asking around.
