I drive here from off the peninsula for this pizza! I love the Eos- not over complicated but absolutely delicious. I love ordering their food to go in the summer time and either eating it on the waterfront or at the garrison brewery. Highly recommend checking them out and don’t let the location discourage you. Free parking after 6!

It’s a nice simple place located next to the Pier 21 area. The seating is beautiful with interiors reminding you of Italy(or I believe that’s the idea). Good spot to have a casual pizza dinner. (I believe on summer days they even have a patio) I ordered a 9-inch Milano and my friend got the Eos(Vegetarian). The cheese and the sauce were great with good amount of toppings. It’s not exactly your wood-fire oven Italian pizza but it’s also not your normal canadian style pizza crust. It’s somewhere in the middle and that pleasantly worked for both of us. It was served hot with melting cheese and slight amount of crunch, which makes for a great meal on a cold,windy night in Halifax. Definitely made a spot in my list of good-pizza spots in HRM.

Great little place for a 9 inch pizza. The food came pretty quickly and was really good. I've been eating fancy seafood for several days, so I was in the mood for a pizza and a rootbeer. It's near the train station and the cruise ship dock.

Cute little ‘hole in the wall’ tastefully decorated, local beer and cider. Absolutely the best gluten free pizza I have ever had!! Will be back.

Beautiful place with great decorations and amazing pizzas. If you like strong flavours, do yourself a favor and order the Palermo Pizza (1 pizza is enough for 2 people). The staff are very kind too.

Excellent gluten free pizza, nice atmosphere. If your at the Halifax Farmer's Market or at Pier 21, this is a great place to stop for a bite of pizza. Smells amazing as you get close. I've only tried a few of their pizzas so far, but I haven't had them tell me that any want available gluten free! I'll be back many more times on my trips to Halifax.

We popped in for a quick bite on our way back to the cruise line and discovered this shop just 2 minutes from the terminal. I decided to try two pies: a Bluenoser and a Margherita. Both were fantastic, with fresh ingredients, delicious sauce, and excellent service.

I think I just died and went to heaven. The BEST lobster roll I have had in a long time! Loved the twist on using a ciabatta roll instead of the traditional hot dog roll. The roll with its crunchy exterior and soft chewy interior really compliments the overstuffed lobster on the inside. It came with a nice fresh caesars salad and we took it all to the Garrison Brewery to pair it with a Tall Ships beer. It was all a nice send off from Halifax as our ship departs this evening for Newfoundland.
