Tomaso’s Pizzeria

Consistently great pizza. My wife and I order from here regularly. We also like the garlic fingers with donair sauce for dipping.

Tried a three topping, «Canadian bacon», pepperoni and hot peppers medium pizza as my introduction to Tomaso’s. The good: they said it would be ready for pick up in 20 minutes and lo it was hot, ready and waiting when I arrived. My burnt mouth can attest to how hot the cheese was; I couldn’t resist a slice on way home: p. They don’t skimp on the molten mozzarella, the sauce tasted like it was made in house and didn’t smother the pizza. Since I only had 3 tops and it was a Wednesday I was able to order it for $ 9.95; that’s pretty good value for the dollar. The not so good: the bacon was not what I’d call Canadian bacon and it was just a slice of bacon laid out on each piece of pizza. I don’t think I’ve had bacon presented like that on a pie before. I would have rather have had it crumbled more evenly over the pizza so I got more bacon goodness in each bite. The crust: I thought for a place that goes for authentic Italian taste that the crust would be thinner but it was a thick, heavy crust and reminded me of a chain pizza crust and not in a good way. I was hoping to find a gourmet pizza place that was a little closer to home than Tomasino’s in the Hydrostone but so far these guys not only didn’t touch Tomasino’s they failed to knock Pizza Town as my local go-​to. Still, I will have to give them another try.

Phenomenal pizza!
My fiancée and I could not have been happier with our choice to try it out.
While «build your own pizza» sounded great, we went off the specialty menu and were not disappointed.
The crust is the best thin crust I have had in Halifax, with a sauce that’s much less sweet than most in the city (which I tend to find way too sweet). The cheeses were fantastic — not too much, and not too little. Great balance in sauce to cheese to toppings to crust.
While the place doesn’t look like much on the inside, it absolutely has its charms. I would highly recommend giving Tamaso’s a try.

This review is based on their Chicken Wings.
Undercooked and slimy :(

I believe that meat is not essential to a delicious pizza. As you can imagine, this is not an opinion shared by most other people. «Yeah, it’s ok, but it would be better with pepperoni» is what I always hear when sharing a great new veggie pie, and it can be a bit frustrating. That’s why it was such a delight to share Tomaso’s vegetarian pizza with my man and two of his guy friends. As they each chewed on their first slice, I held my breath and waited for their reactions.
«Y’know, I don’t usually like vegetarian, but this is awesome.» «This is really, really good.» «We should have ordered two.»
Aw yeah, strike that victory pose!
The secret is the sauce– Literally. Tomaso’s sauce recipe is a closely guarded secret, one that hasn’t changed over the years. It’s still the same from when I was a kid, and from when my parents were child free and used to take home stacks of frozen pies so they could cook them fresh at home. If you have the freezer space, I highly recommend you do the same.
Each slice has a special tomato slice layered on top, so it’s also just as pretty as it is tasty. Fresh and not greasy at all, this is pizza you can feel proud of eating. No secret shames here. You can have order this pie with either onions or olives, but I personally prefer the olives. It’s what I grew up on, and one of the only ways (the other being a dirty, dirty martini) that I enjoy green olives at all.
Manly meat-​eaters approve! Tomaso’s all the way.

It’s good just no salami!

I am feeling pretty emotional about the pizza I ate last night at Tomaso’s. My family is in town for Thanksgiving, and despite loving turkey and ham and etc etc, we really wanted a night off from cooking/​baking/​sweating over my teeny-​tiny oven. My sister suggested Tomaso’s as none of us had tried it before. What an amazing suggestion. This was the best pizza I’ve had in Halifax yet.
We ordered a large Deluxe pizza (mozza, bacon, ham, pepperoni, hot peppers, green olives, mushrooms, peppers… etc) and a small Broc and Cheese pizza. The dough was sweet and soft. The cheese wasn’t overkilling the other awesome toppings. The sauce was tasty and had a little kick to it. And I completely destroyed my gluten-​free evening attempts as I inhaled three slices of the Deluxe.
The atmosphere at Tomaso’s is fine for a take-​out pizza place. We ordered and ate there, as we needed to get out the aforementioned cramped apartment. The tables were clean, the service was speedy and friendly, and we all actually agreed on something for once in our lives.
I also noticed that Tomaso’s makes a lot of fancy-​shmancy pizzas too (with, like, thin crusts and cool flavours, ya know?) so I’m looking forward to trying them all eventually.
Really good experience. Beats the crap out of the band-​aid laden (yep. happened.) pizza mess downtown happenings. I’ll be back to frig up my no-​gluten diet again in the near future.

I love this pizza. It’s not greasy at all and the crust is thin but not brittle. It’s also not greasy (some places seem to butter the pans a la Pizza Hut or something, bleh).
Mon-​Wed they have a medium 3 topping for $ 10 special. Delivery is always fast and friendly.

Their pizza was good, but their garlic fingers were the best i’ve had in town so far. so cheesy and garlic-​y, yum!

Mmmm, pizza does not get any better than this. I’ve heard that Tomaso’s is a Halifax landmark and on a whim decided to pick up a large meatlovers pizza one night. Ever since then, I was hooked. The Pesto Sopresa is a tasty thin crust delight sprinkled with pine nuts and garlic. One bite made my ten thousand taste buds come back to life!
Recently I tried the Spinaci & Galo Arrostito and it was one of the most delicous gourmet pizzas I have ever tasted in my 29 years.
Not only are the pizzas scrumptious & yummy, the delivery is speedy, the service is pleasant and the prices are very reasonable for the outstanding quality.
In summary, I LOVE THIS TOMASO’S PIZZERIA and would highly recommend it as the best in the HRM.
Ciao!

Oh me! Oh my! Tomaso’s is my new place for pizza-​pie!
I hadn’t heard of this succulent place of pizza until recently, when a friend suggested we order take-​out– delivery stylez. At the time, anything edible sounded good, so I let her dial up the decision and would await an unfamiliar making.
From the first bite, it was love. Veggie topped delights with just the right amount of cheese, and timely warmth were all contributing factors. The delivery came slightly faster than other places I’ve ordered from, and the service man was less sketchy and more upbeat than the regular.
I will be curious to check out Tomaso’s again soon, and perhaps adventure to options other than the veggie pizza. (Although it will be tough.)
A new and delicious pizza find, I am pumped!

Best pizza in town hands down. Their works is made with real bacon without asking!!! I wish there were more places like this.

Just a little news flash — a few nights ago I ordered from Tomaso’s for the second time and it was SO good!
The pizza arrived in 30 minutes and the delivery guy was just super! He commented on how good looking my cat is (instant points for talking up the tubby hairball) and he had an overall friendly nature.
Andrew and I devoured a scrumptious pesto pizza in an embarrassingly short amount of time — we were really hungry.
I urge you to order from Tomaso’s! It is a really great pizza place with top of the line food and service! Hip-​hip-​hooray for Tomaso’s!

Remember the OLD OLD Tomasos. Well I went to Tomasos located on 3540 Novalea Drive in Halifax. I must say the pizza was very yummy. I think the smell of everything together was almost overwhelming. I myself enjoy a thin crust pizza so I tried the Pesto Sopresa ligthly glazed with extra virgin olive oil, sundried tomatoes. You could taste the fresh garlic on the pizza which was really tasty.
As well to take home I had a ordered a medium combination of four. Mushrooms, GP, Hot Peppers and Pepperoni. It smelled delicious in the car on the drive home the temptation was almost killing me. Where I am a thin crust person I did find the crust a bit thick for me.
The menu is actually really stacked with alot of choices regarding speciality pizza. The do also have the normal things like chicken wings, lasagna which I might try next time.
Hope you enjoy

Definitely the best pizza in Halifax. Funny part is that a friend visiting from Montréal turned us on to it. Apparently all the guys at the Naval Base (he’s on a contract) love it. And with good reason.
The place itself is far from fancy, the expectation is that you pick up or have it delivered. Lots of toppings from traditional to gourmet (including one with smoked salmon), perfect crust. I’m drooling just thinking about it. Perhaps it’s time for another trip… or at least a phone call.
