Topio’s

Let me preface review by saying this: In terms of Dalhousie, this is ⁴⁄₅. In terms of Halifax, I’d rank it lower.
One of the challenges with being a full-​time student as an adult is the complete and utter awareness of the bad food that is on campus. And I don’t mean the good kind of bad food. I mean bad food that even students avoid. There are few locations with poor selection and long lines.
So I was quite pleased to discover Topi’s recently. I knew it existed but had never been. It’s located in the Mona Campbell Building and serves pizza. That’s pretty much it. Sure, they have beverages and a few other snack items but pizza is the main attraction. And it’s good. Now, to be fair, I’ve only sampled their vegetarian slices but I can tell you that the elements are all there. The sauce is zesty and rich. The crust is firm and flavourful but not solid as a rock nor as soft as … something soft. Top that off with a variety of «shakers» to add spice to your pizza and you’re good to go.
Prices are reasonable — good to see that different types of pizza are priced differently rather than everything from a cheese slice up to the works being listed for the same price.
