The Short Version: Pizza Corner is the intersection of Blowers St and Grafton St in Halifax. Originally it was named Pizza Corner because 3 of the restaurants at this intersection sold pizza (the other corner is occupied by a church). The Long Version: Pizza Corner got its name in the 1990s. The original restaurants at this intersection of Grafton and Blowers Streets were The European Food Shop, King of Donair and Sicilian Pizza. It is where drunk university students would get their late night fill of pizza, donairs, poutine and other such foods. Since I never lived in Halifax, I learned about this iconic intersection from my Haligonian friends and Dalhousie university alumni friends. On my first visit to Halifax, I went to Pizza Corner and got a donair at King of Donair. It was too sweet and too messy, in my opinion. I was not a fan. King of Donair is long gone. In fact, the only one of the original businesses that remains (as of August 2026) is Sicilian Pizza. The spot where King of Donair was is now a restaurant called Atithi Indian Takeout and Pizza. They are primarily an Indian restaurant but added pizza to their menu to keep the tradition of Pizza Corner alive. I respect that! The spot where The European Food Shop used to be is now a Rosie's Burger. They don't sell pizza, but they do sell poutine and other greasy food like burgers, fries and onion rings. I have no nostalgia for Pizza Corner, but I can understand people who do. The story behind this corner is fun. With the landscape of the area changing, I think I'll grab a slice of pizza at Sicilian Pizza the next time I'm back in Halifax so I can say I actually had pizza at Pizza Corner, and at one of the OG places too boot! Lol. Review #135 (2026) read more

Pizza Corner - Pizza Corner is an intersection (Blowers St and Grafton St). It's changed over the years. - Pizza Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Horrible service, the workers absolutely refused to prepare anything other than the pizza in the lazy Susan. Management should consider shuffling some staff out, not only for the poor service but they were extremely rude as well. read more

Went here based on a recommendation of a friend. Donairs really good. Pizza ok. Caters to the university students.

Arrived pretty late into Halifax on Remembrance Day and needed something to eat. Read some decent reviews about this place and wanted to give it a try. Ordered a slice of pizza for $4 but it was double your normal pizza slices. Also got a regular donair. The pizza wasn't bad but you could tell it was sitting around in the warmer for quite some time. The flavor and the toppings were good, just wish it were more fresh. The donair was pretty good. It was stuffed so when I brought it back to the hotel after a short walk, it was hard to eat. Got a bit messy. Overall, decent place. A better place to come during peak times. read more

One of the most contested questions in Halifax: Is Pizza Corner a blessing or a bane? Considering I'm giving it five stars, it's pretty clear I consider it a blessing. Let's start with a brief description for those who are not from here. It's an intersection where three of the four corners have pizza shops. Kind of like those intersections with three Starbucks in Vancouver. It's also in downtown and open late which means you can expect a drunken horde most every night. Slices are typically gi-normous. Why do I love? Let's start with the fact that it sells pizza. And I like pizza. It's also one of the most popular areas of downtown. And has helped out the neighbourhood - lots of other late-night food places have opened up, supported by the Corner's popularity. Beyond food, there are lots of other cool shops in the area. Finally, it's just one of those "Halifax places;" a staple of our city. Definitely something I include any time I'm giving a tour of downtown. read more

See all

Full disclosure: I've never set foot in this place. I have had pizza (their Sicilian) and donair (the twelve-inch, naturally) delivered a few times. Believe me when I tell you that not a molecule was left after three hours each time. Luscious donair on crusty rolls, pizza with just the perfect amount of spice--Pizza Corner is what you need. Right now. Start dialing. read more

Pizza corner has gotten a bit more pizza-y in the last year. Before that it was just fast food-y. I dunno, I don't really see the appeal personally. I like the stores surrounding Pizza Corner (Scanway, Black Market, etc) but other than that I feel pretty meh about the entire thing. Pizza Corner itself is a collection of fast food joints that will appeal to those who go drinking downtown at night or who need a quick meal. I think it's an adorable little "Halifax Place" as Kirk F. dubbed it in another review - Halifax certainly would be different without it. Which is why I've given it four stars. I like how it's so particularly Halifax, I like the area...but I don't usually go to Pizza Corner for pizza or actually for the fast food on the corners. read more

Okay fine. I'll just come out and say it. I don't actually like drinking and partying so much as I love using it as an excuse to indulge in a whole other mealtime at three in the morning. And this, my friends, is why I love Halifax...because it not only tolerates such behaviour, it actually creates long-standing landmarks wholly focused on delivering late-night feasts. Pizza Corner is the glorious crossing of Grafton and Blowers where three greasy pizza joints stand proud, serving by-the-slice orders so big they need to be folded, so unflavoured they need to be dipped in donair sauce, and so questionable they need to be eaten well-past the witching hour. Each of the three shops are essentially the same thing although locals will try to convince you of their individual merits or claims-to-fame which is the beauty of it all. Everyone goes with their sights set on one of the three, but oh - what's that? A long wait? Then it's on to the next one. New features to Pizza Corner, building on its already massive appeal for the post-party crowd, include Willy's for specialty poutine to go, Burrito Jax for a football-sized dose of Mexico, and of course the long-standing street meat cart. Choose your poison, take an Advil, drink lots of water, and get your ass to bed. read more

I actually like their Donair more so than the Johnny K across street. Just personal preference. They are both off the chart good! Do get the white sauce! Absolutely must try when you are in Helifax. read more

A trip downtown isn't the same with ending it off with a visit to Pizza Corner. This corner, one of Halifax's traditions since long before I moved here ten years ago, has three pizza places in one corner. Or I should say "had". KoD (King of Donair)'s lease wasn't renewed and they will be/are moving out of the near-legendary part of the downtown. Since I mentioned Pizza Corner was a destination after the bars, it doesn't just apply to me. Friday and Saturday nights from after midnight until after 4am on Pizza Corner are likely the busiest of any part of downtown any other period of the week. In recent years, Willie's and Smoke's Poutinary have opened up just steps away so there is more variety. As for the actual pizza, there is choice in which one to go to but essentially, the pizza slices don't vary too much from each other. They are all fairly large slices and if you grab a pop with them, it'll usually be between $5-6. If you're not a pizza person, you can opt for a pizza-related item like a donair. It's odd when walking past the corner during the day because it's such a different environment. It's literally like night and day. But it's definitely easier and less of a line-up to try a quick slice during the day and sit in the window to eat as you people watch down Blowers St. read more

Normally I wouldn't write a review about poutine I just had an original poutine from pizza corner and it was above average very crispy fries and nice gravy I will be back read more

Service was slow, staff was a bit clueless. Pizza slices (veggie & pepperoni) were cold and cardboard like. Donair box was a fail.
