WOW! That's the first thing I can say about Eli's Pizza.
We just moved to Cole Harbour last month, and while we were getting ready to move all the furniture and boxes we thought "Let's thank our movers (friends and family...thanks guys!) with pizza for lunch!" so we popped on the interwebz and looked at some reviews. Eli's didn't have a lot of recent reviews but all the reviews we saw were good. And it was close. So we called them up and ordered a LOT of pizza for our movers. On the last trip across the bridge we swung into Eli's to pick it up.
The place is located in the middle of a neighbourhood, next door to a convenience store. It's a little place, that's very clean and the owner (I assume this is Eli?) is such a nice guy! Our pizzas were just coming out of the ovens and we chatted for a while. He welcomed us to the neighbourhood, offered us menus and we left with 4 extra large hot pizzas (2 peperoni and 2 works) and 2 extra large garlic fingers.
We got home and the pizzas were devoured! The works were delicious - hot, lots of toppings, great cheesy deliciousness! The peperoni had just the right amount of meat and cheese and was still steaming. The garlic fingers made people swoon - they are some of the BEST garlic fingers I have ever had! Hot, lots of cheese, just the right amount of garlic and the donair sauce was perfect!
Shortly after we finished eating, my husband's phone rang - Eli had called to check-in and see how the pizza was. He wanted to make sure we were happy with the pizza and garlic fingers. We thanked him, told him everyone loved it and promised we'd be back. We also shared menus and information with all our friends and family there. I was so impressed with his follow-up - great customer service!
We've ordered a few times since then - tried the wings (OMG SO GOOD!) and last night we tried his BBQ chicken pizza. The wings were hot and crispy and the spices on them were delicious. The honey garlic sauce is yummy. The BBQ chicken pizza was lovely - sauce was sweet and a little spicy, chicken was perfect, cheese was hot and fresh. The only thing I missed was some veggies - we'll add those next time.
Eli's is now one of our favourite pizza places. If you're in Dartmouth/Cole Harbour check it out - they're great people with great food! read more
