SOMO (South of Morris) is brimming with gourmet, artisanal, authentic, fancypants, thin crust, Italian-style pizza – or whatever you want to call it. Whereas the Pizza Quest at large is generally a pepperoni & pajamas affair, I mustn’t ignore the restaurants offering night-out-on-the-town fare – something you put on a shirt for, and enjoy with a glass of wine. Everyone has […]
The Halifax Peninsula Pizza Finals were a success! My Pizza Team was joined by other participants for a total of 20 judges, tasked with scoring what we determined to be the 7 best pizzerias in Halifax proper. That’s 20 people – 14 large pizzas, and the biggest event I’ve ever organized! Joining us this evening was Josh Rankin of Life […]
*** Voting is Now Over (and has been for a long time!)*** I have directed my attention this year to the state of delivery pizza in Halifax. I have divided up the entirety of Halifax (a.k.a. the HRM) into pizza neighbourhoods, and, beginning with the peninsula, I have organized pizza parties where my friends and I critique all of the […]
This past August I embarked on my first nacho quest. I gathered up a powerful nacho team from the Twitterverse, and we hit Spring Garden Road with beers and duo-tangs in hand. You can read about it here. In September I decided it was time to investigate Argyle Street. The Nacho Team for this quest consisted of many of the […]
Wharf Wraps 104 Government Wharf Rd, Eastern Passage, NS Rating: 6.5/10 Wharf Wraps, located in touristy Fisherman’s Cove, is too upscale to be pub food. Its black tablecloths, square plates and green curtains create a strange vibe that is not fine dining, but not exactly casual. I would go as far as to say that Wharf Wraps suffers from an […]
The NONO Pizza Quest marks the final chapter of the Halifax Pizza Quest… well, as far as the peninsula is concerned. The next stage in this ongoing quest will be to hold the Peninsular Pizza Finals! The #1 candidate from each neighbourhood will proceed to a battle royale to determine who makes the best pizza on the Halifax Peninsula! But […]
Fredie’s Fantastic Fish House 8 Oland Crescent, Halifax, NS Rating: 7/10 The first time I heard about Fredie’s Fantastic Fish House, I had to give my head a shake. A tourist in an online forum was recommending it to another tourist. “Best fish ‘n’ chips!” they said. My eyebrows raised. Bayers Lake, you say? I interjected. “They very well could […]
Update 2021: Since posting this nacho quest back in 2014, the majority of these places have closed! Rogues Roost and Bubba Ray’s have closed. Pizza Delight and Mexicali Rosa’s have vacated their SGR digs, for more suburban pastures. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Rock Bottom closed and has been resurrected as a Nine Locks taproom & retail store, while the Fickle […]
*Update – July 2018: This blog post remains one of my most popular, despite being out-of-date. A couple of the restaurants I visited have closed down permanently. I’ve also been back to Digby to try more scallops! I have left the post as it is, but have indicated which restaurants are no longer operating. There is also an appendage at […]
