Centertown Halifax Donair & Pizza

After a long time we have tried Halifax Donair. And the Donair Poutine was really good. Same taste and flavour we used to have in Halifax.

This was horrible. I do not believe people who review this place positively have actually been to Halifax where I lived for 18 years.

My donair could not be eaten as a sandwich. The meat, though generously applied, was soaked in way too much sauce making it like handling wet tapioca.

The undersized pita was rubbery, and even when I asked for utensils I could not eat this donair because I could not cut through the pita.

A donair should be able to be eaten by peeling the foil and/or paper and taking bites. For this to be possible, the pita has to wrap the full way around the contents forming a tube. If the pita essentially goes 1/2 to 2/3 around, and if you use way too much sauce, you get a slippery, sloppy concoction that can't be eaten without incredible effort.

I tasted one piece of meat. It had too much black pepper, but was ok in flavour. The sauce was the right flavour and consistency, but the donair had around four times what is necessary applied, making this item impossible to eat.

I would describe this donair as being closer to soup on a pita than what it is supposed to be.

Affordable, but if you eat this you will need to do laundry and clean your shoes. Never try to eat this sloppy mess in a car.

And as for cars, parking is an absolute nightmare in this area during lunch or supper hours. In Ottawa, there is no real Halifax donair shop besides this, but what they are making here is nothing like you get in Halifax on every corner from downtown to upper Agricola.

I was not able to eat my lunch.

Phenomenal service and a happy environment. Always satisfied with the quality of food and the new menu additions. You can truly feel the love that goes into this place when you walk in. Thanks Terry-Lyn, we appreciate you!

I've been eating here since it was originally Tony's Donair,

The only thing that has changed is owners and let me tell you Terry - Lynn from center town pizzeria is amazing, she will go above and beyond to ensure you're satisfaction.

They are kind and attentive to detail, they really give you a excellent foodie experience leaving you wanting more.

The only real authentic Nova Scotian experience.

So if you're yet and hungry gather your family and friends and go indulge in the best original DONAIR EXPERIENCE.

PS don't forget lots of napkins.
Thank you Terry -Lynn

After seeing the awesome reviews my wife and I decided to tour into Ottawa to try the Donair. We each had the platter and it was amazing. Never having a Donair from the Maritimes I will say that it was the best one I have ever had anywhere. All the food is made in house, super fresh and that sweet sauce was perfect. There is a reason they give you a bucket of napkins. What a delicious mess. The owner gave us fantastic service, chatted with us and gave a little background on the business. Great atmosphere and the music is traditional eastern coast. Can't wait to try something new next time. Paul & Meghan.

I just found this place, been there twice now, cheap and love the food and cheese blend, the atmosphere and staff is really good

Best place (maybe only place?) in town to get East Coast-style donairs and garlic fingers. Been coming to them for years, we love them. I ordered through an app and realized too late that I had ordered with little time to close. They made it anyway so that says a lot to me. Thanks guys ️

I would give this place 100 stars if I could. Centertown Halifax Donair & Pizza is the ONLY and I mean ONLY! Donair restaurant/takeout place in the entire of eastern Ontario and west Quebec that knows how to make a proper east coast donair. There are no other options for a REAL donair in our area.
If you are just visiting Ottawa go to this restaurant/takeout before you leave. I could go on all day about how good the donairs are here. They are a game changer for takeout in Ottawa.
If you own a restaurant in Ottawa/Gatineau and you THINK you know how to make a donair visit here to get an example of a PROPER donair. Again I could go on all day about this place and I would not do it justice.
Perfect food, perfect service, fast service, polite staff. Great eat in experience. It's mind blowing. GO NOW TO THIS RESTAURANT.
When this place becomes popular (and it will) you will regret not visiting before they got busy.

Family came over and brought some halifax donairs. They were incredible. Juat like we remember from our yearss in the maritimes

Garlic fingers and donairs are straight out of halifaxs best donair shops. I will be back soon and probably ordering more than my fair share. Keep up the good work!

My favourite place in the city! Authentic east coast donair, amazing pizza and the greatest people! I go at least once a week

Went in for my first time trying a Donair. 10/10. Very messy but was absolutely amazing, one of the best things I've tired in years. The service was great and the atmosphere was awesome too, loved the music. Would definitely recommend stopping by

Pizza and donairs are quite good, and service is always friendly.

Hard to get there at the hours they're open. 11-6/7 is not pizza primetime.

Called today (Saturday) at 5 and it went to voicemail. Message says they're open until 7 on Th- Sat. I assume they had a staffing issue or something.
Disapponting, as I was going to pick up a bunch of donairs to bring to my Maritimer buddies:/

The only complaint I have is that they close at 7pm.
They have the best donairs and garlic fingers here in Ottawa, their donair sauce & garlic sauce is amazing and they serve the right amount of meat with their donairs.
The only downside to this place is that they close early,
I really hope they expand their hours, every weekend we usually end up wasting our money at different places trying to find a good donair or one that taste similar thats open around 10-11pm and they never end up tasting good,
Please expand your hours Thursday- Saturday
Maybe add chicken donairs or wraps to your menu,
on the days when we do order here I usually have to order some of my family members chicken donairs or chicken wraps somewhere else while the rest of us order our beef donairs & garlic fingers from here

The donair is amazing I haven't tried anything else because I like the donair so much. This is a must try location. Owners are really nice too.

Amazing as usual.still the best and original Halifax donar.wouldn't go anywhere else.thanks for keeping east coast alive and strong

A friend treated us all to beef donair tonight. Never had one from here before. The best I've had in a very long time. Do yourself a favor and try it out. Alot of meat and the perfect sauce. Tasty bread too
