Sicilian Pizza Donairs Subs

Terrible service, this guy is super rude and I really found this place overpriced for a regular pizza. I won’t come back.

The pizza is reliably good and a great stop after a night of east coast boozing. The service is another matter. I get that dealing with drunks is annoying, but why be rude to me and my young son in the afternoon on a Sunday? If it weren’t for revisiting my youth, I would have gone elsewhere.

Four stars for sure. Great pizza here. Slices rock. Staff is awesome. They put up with the drunks every night and come back the next. Service is quick and pizza is hot and fresh.
I may have once seen a very prominent US politician stop for pizza here when I town! Word travels!

Good, but not the best. Fast, reliable service though.

I’ve been in Halifax for about an hour, and I’ve already had a regular donair, extra sauce from Sicilian.
I guess this is a three star joint, but I’m giving them a fourth star for nostalgia. The smells of the greasy peperoni slices and the sounds bad techno music all drenched in donair sauce have been making me smile since I was fifteen. Never change, Sicilian.

Not the best pizza in town but always better than any if the other places near by. Usually much fresher than the other places too.

I’ve always enjoyed Sicilian’s pizza slices — whether it be on Blowers or Quinpool — despite the hefty price tag. There comes a time though that you have to pay more for high quality and generally Sicilian delivers.
On this day I went to the Blowers location and had the pizza slice and pop for $ 5.00; the pizza was great as always; however, the pop had no flavour to it. When I returned it and asked for a Coke instead of Sprite, the flavour was not much better.
Overall, I would rank Sicilian in the middle of the pack in terms of cleanliness; I generally do not hang out by Pizza Corner late in the night like I used to, so I’m not sure if the atmosphere is still as electric as it was years ago, but I’m led to believe it isn’t.
I’m glad Sicilian continues to make good pizza, but I will not be going there on a regular basis.

I’m so sorry I inconvenienced the owners by having the crass desire to order food. I also apologize for living in the 21^st century and wanting to use plastic. I also apologize for not using your rip-​off bank machine with its probable 2 – 3 dollar service charge.
I also apologize to the trashcan where I threw my 3^rd rate pizza and my companion’s cold donair.
And lastly I apologize to any small birds or animals that may have accidentally eaten from that trashcan.

Sicilian has been one of the pillars of «pizza corner» for years in Halifax. Of course, pizza corner is on crutches these days, reduced to two shops now. But, Sicilian is still a hugely popular late-​night, grab-​and-​go pizza place in the downtown core. Built for foot traffic & fast service, Sicilian seems consistently busy through the day, but it can get crazy busy in the post-​pub hours.
Sicilian is moderately clean. Service is fast. Price point is very affordable. Pizza slices are large. Ingredients are fresh. Nothing sits around long here. It’s good value if a giant slice is what you’re after. The veggie slices are my favourite. Their donairs are also popular, but I haven’t had one myself for several years. I just don’t eat a lot of mystery meat off urban rotisseries anymore.
A solid 3 stars for my $ 4.55 giant veggie slice, consistently loaded with fresh ingredients.

Mediocre pizza at a cheap price. Located on the notorious Pizza Corner. Their slices are large, but does that really matter when the pizza is best described as a «hot circle of garbage»? Still better than Greco.

«Pizza Corner» is a landmark for all Haligonians and those of us from the Darkside as well. This is one for the big 3 on the corner.
As far as customer service and quality goes it’s pretty hit and miss for me. I’m usually a «grab a slice» kinda guy. Ideal for filling the void quick after a busy day at the shop. You pay $ 5 and you get $ 5 worth in a slice. My issue is sometimes they sell slices that have been sitting around in the heating rack for a long time (like tonight). A lukewarm veggie slice. Disappointing because they can be soooooo good when fresh. It’s all in the timing here folks, «get it while it’s hot».

An Open Letter to Sicillian Pizza at Pizza Corner,
What are you doing? Seriously, I’ve been living in this city for about seven years and not once have you changed. While some might say that your dedication to «keeping it real» is admirable, I have to disagree. It’s not the indifferent employees, it’s not the wallet destroying ATM that has accumulated a king’s ransom in banking fees and it is not even the soda machine that NEVER has diet anything. No, I take all that in stride.
What I refuse to accept is your plasticine attempt at pepperoni. Like many twenty somethings living in Halifax, I like to indulge in some Midnight Pizza; I capped it because it’s important to me. However, after staying loyal from the age of 20 – 22, I felt I needed to explore because the taste of spicy carboard in my mouth the next morning was wearing thin.
What I discovered was a world of flavour only mere feet from your location. Midnight Pizza with warm cheese? Sauce that’s hot and not in the temperature kind of way? A crust that does not require diamond tipped teeth to penetrate? Suddenly it was like I was truly seeing the world in its dazzling glory.
Oh sure, you might have some of the bigger slices and yeah, maybe your facilities look a little more…“maintained” than others — but when you’ve been out all night, begrudingly dancing to Ke$ha and sipping on Bacardi and Diet, anything that can make me feel alive is going to get my $ 4.75.
Also, I always kind of feel like I’m going to get accosted outside your doors. That’s no reflection on your establishment but I’m just saying, there’s a reason why a lot of my more fabulous friends go to Venus Pizza. So what can you learn from this letter? Well, nothing really, I just wanted to get that off my chest. Although if you could manage to buy a new warming tray that actually kept pizza warm instead of bathing it in a bizarre red glow, I’d consider coming back.
Regards,
Anthony

Late night pizza fix– Sicilian is a staple spot. Located conveniently on the downtown Pizza Corner plateau, late night scallywags and hunger stricken mongrels can find their flavour here.
Always an open door, and a brightly colored interior, Sicilian welcomes all walks of life from the get-​go. Besides its always fresh pizza slices and yummy craftsmanship, customers can sit at the window booth and enjoy a busy downtown traffic in all its glory.
I’d say Sicilian is a safe choice. Its the greasy, low-​fare pizza you need after a night on the town. Tasty, quick and easy… pop in with wide eyes and a beer filled belly. Yum.

I think everyone in the HRM has ventured across Sicilians at the 4 corners once upon a time. This is a late night must on the way home from a busy night of dancing.
Normally depending on the time there is a line up. Pizzas are flying, Donairs and subs. I like the works on my pizza and late night they are hot and ready. I manage to get across the street to the wall to sit and watch the crowd.
Sicilians has a big slice for $ 5 – 6 bucks depending on what kind you choose. Sauce is good and the topping are plentiful. Is this the best pizza in town? well that is up to you. I have never actually went in and ordered one to stay. Tables are like Bistro tables and the music is LOUD. To say anything this would be an experience
Check it out and make your own decision.

Hot slice coming through! In the wee hours of the morning you may be slightly taken aback, confused that you’ve stepped into some sort of alternate reality where the lights are on but you’re sure it’s the Dome. Fear not my friend, you’ve just ended up at Pizza Corner — the place where once vaguely appropriate fashion choices come to die, and the drunk masses slop pizza topping down their polo-​tees and cleavage alike.
Need some substantial chow to decrease the impending hangover? Then boy, does Sicilian have you covered. They dish out hot and ready huge slices to the masses not only post-​midnight on a Saturday, but also for lunch during the week. You can get a quarter of a pizza for about $ 5 if you’re into a sans meat wedge, and perhaps for a little more coin if you can indulge in something with chicken, but that’s not my forte. While you’re cruising the corner strip, grab a soda to quench your thirst and watch the surrounding TVs or dance a little to the blaring Sicilian club beats.
This is the place to see and be seen post-​party. You thought the Palace was your last chance for romance — well think again. Try offering someone a bite of your slice; I know I’ve been asked by strangers if they can sample mine. Maybe if you play your cards right at Sicilian you can not only leave with a hot slice, but also with a hot single if you’re in the market.

One of the three pizza shops that make up the infamous «Pizza Corner».
As you approach this corner from any angle you can see an increasing amount of gum dots dried to the sidewalk. This is clearly a place to go when class is out of the picture, preferably on your travels home from the Halifax night scene. Nothing hits the spot like a big slice of pizza, and the BBQ chicken pizza at Sicilian is pretty good at all hours. I have been given cold slices before, but I guess the bright side is that you can eat them all the more quickly?
What separates Sicilian from the other pizza places is that it’s speciality is pizza and that is mainly what they serve (as opposed to boasting their subs and donairs). It’s not the cleanest place, but you can almost forget about that when they open the sliding store front windows in the summer and you can eat overlooking Blower St.
Hot Hint: They only take cash at the register, and their ATM machine seems to be permanently out of order, so bring cash just in case.

Any good Haligonian (or visitor to the HRM) knows about Pizza Corner. Home of three pizza parlors and a church, it is probably busier on a typical Saturday night than the church is all year round.
So the question is, which pizza place is the best spot for your hard earned dollar? If you’re drunk, the answer is the one with the shortest line. If you’re sober (ish), the answer is probably the Sicilian.
This place is bright and noisy and has a couple televisions to watch while you’re chowing down on your big slice, which certainly gives it the edge over its corner competition.
Considering the volume of people they serve on any given night, they do a fairly decent job of turn around. You can usually get a slice and get out within five minutes, which is very impressive, given the crowds you can see here.
The staff are not particularly friendly, but I’ll give them a pass on this, dealing with so many drunk people tends to steal your soul. I assume they just want to keep the crowd moving, which is fine.
The Sicilian is not gourmet pizza, hell, it’s not even especially good pizza, but it is big and greasy and tasty enough. Nine times out of ten it is your best choice for pizza down on the corner.

As all Pizza is not created equal. I seldom go with the Big Slice, it seems to satisfy a lot of late night people though.
I guess after a long night of fun, food is always in store. We tend to bring down our quality sensors at that time of night as well.
Will this fill you, YES!, Will you right it as the top pizza of Halifax, I would hope not! But, it does the trick for late night, and has a clean interior.

I’m not one of those barflys who hangs out at pizza corner in the wee hours of the morning after the bars close. But if you are, this is your spot, I guess. Of the three pizza shops at this intersection, this one seems like the one where you’re least likely to get mugged, since it’s got pretty good lighting. Still, no guarantees, but that’s the fun of being at pizza corner at three in the morning, I gather.
Anyway, I happened to be downtown at dinnertime last week, with only about 15 minutes to cram something down my gullet, so I opted to grab a slice here. The boys at the counter didn’t go out of their way to be particularly polite (is there a special grunt that means «you’re welcome?») but whatevs. My slice was exactly what you’d expect in a pre-​made takeout slice: huge, carboardy, and greasy. But it filled me up, so again, whatevs. The shop seems pretty clean, so that’s a plus.

A Pizza Shop willing to grow and change!
Sicilian Pizza sits in a popular area of Halifax, referred to as «Pizza Corner.» Competition is literally right across the street. So how does it compete? Well the staff are by far the friendliest on «Pizza Corner.» The space is also wide open so you don’t feel cramped while ordering a pizza. Their food quality isn’t incredibly amazing but you are always guaranteed a good slice of pizza no matter what the hour. And they want to improve things. I was shocked the last time I walked into Sicilian Pizza because they had replaced their stools with really nice, highchairs for people to sit in. It surprised me because its not like Sicilian Pizza is hurting for customers. But they have decided, although business is good, to keep improving! A quality I don’t think I have seen in many Pizza shops. They are also the cleaner of the three pizza shops on the infamous «Pizza Corner.»
Sicilian Pizza goes that extra step every time which is why their customer base is so loyal. They seem to understand that although business is going great, they need to keep a few steps ahead to ensure they are still on top months and years from now. And they don’t seem to have the perspective of just pumping out pizza and getting the customer’s out as fast as possible. They have a nice area for you to sit and enjoy your pizza.
I recommend: A slice of the Works and throw in some of their delicious, high fat garlic fingers!
