Tomavinos Pizzeria - Halifax

My wife and I had the lunch special- half a 9 inch pizza and a ceasar salad. Neither of us were impressed. It looked good, pizza crust was ok, but was quite bland. Not what we expected and at $33, with soft drinks, disappointing.

I just visited Tomavinos for the first time, I am crew for Holland America Line and the owner greeted me with a handshake and a smile! Tom is a kind man with a semi- New York accent so I knew I trusted his pizza cred. My food came quickly and was piping hot. The bartender that served me, Alex, was kind and gracious and attentive. IWill recommend to everyone who comes to Halifax! Oh- and the pizza was out of this world- I'm a chef so not easily impressed. They did it all right! Well done Tomavinos!!!!!

I arrived at 10:52 am to find an open door. They apparently open at 11. The owner took my order himself and asked me to seat myself. I had ordered the pizza "slice", in Tomavino's language that is half a pizza. And what a pizza. Good chew on the crust, excellent sauce and dressed perfectly. There are only two "slice" options. But wow, you can't go wrong. It was seriously great.

I had the Hawaiian pizza with scallops wrapped in bacon for starters and lasagna for my dinner. The bacon wrapped scallops were phenomenal. The lasagna was perfect. The Hawaiian pizza was the best pizza I have had in Halifax. I did not finish the pizza at the restaurant but my server boxed it up for me for a to go. I can't wait to go back for there spaghetti.

Tomavinos has been in business since 1990! An amazing accomplishment in an ever changing food industry. If you would like to taste excellence then tomavinos is the place to go! It may be the best pizza you will ever have! Key ingredient is the love and passion Tom has for his art of pizza making! Enjoy! Go to the port side of the building. Greek salad was delicious too!
