Tomavinos Ristorante — Restaurant in Halifax

Went to Tomavinos for supposedly a "great pizza". On a Wednesday evening (Around 6pm) we tried to order 2 medium pizza's. The front end staff told us that they didn't have any medium dough made up for eat in orders. We were told it would screw up their delivery orders.?. But if we wanted to order it to go that was fine. This made absolutely no sense to me. Since we were in Halifax from out of town..... taking a pizza back to the hotel wasn't what we were looking for. All we wanted to do was have a good pizza... and a few beers for supper. Couldn't believe the server wouldn't take our order. I guess he was ok with missing out on a (guessing 90-100) order. Also, there wasn't a sole in the restaurant.

Lucky for us.... The extremely poor service here sent us looking for another spot. We actually ended up at Salvatore's Pizzaiola Trattoria. The best pizza...

Hate to leave a bad review, but also don’t want other customers to waste money. Staff was incredibly rude from start to finish. I asked about some of the drinks and was told it wasn’t her kind of thing… Husband’s pizza was loaded with a greasy cheese, making the base soggy. I’d suggest looking for a wood stove pizza place. I requested no feta, not realizing it would come with other cheese. When my pizza arrived loaded with cheese I explained I couldn’t eat it and the waitress was incredibly mad even slammed the plate down. We apologized for the mistake but the waitress didn’t even make eye contact, let alone acknowledge us. I rely on reviews when I visit new places and had high hopes for this restaurant. Sad to say even the pizza without cheese still...

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...
