Tony's Donair is a great spot if you're craving a classic Halifax donair. The donair was excellent--fresh, well-seasoned meat, a soft pita, and that perfect balance of sweet sauce that ties it all together. Portions were satisfying and everything tasted like it was made with care. The service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. One thing that really stands out is the decor--it feels like it hasn't changed since they first opened, and that gives the place a unique, nostalgic charm you don't see often anymore. It adds to the overall experience and makes it feel like a true local staple. read more

When I told people we were going to be making a port stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia I head from several people who said "You have GOT to try a donair in Halifax!". I'm not one to disagree with people when they tell me to try something local or something a place is known for. We were determined to find a donair during our hop-on/hop-off tour of Halifax. When doing our Google search we found that Tony's Donair and Pizza was about a block from one our stops and is noted for their donairs. Ok, easy enough. Our walk from our hop-on/hop-off stop was an easy one along a residential street and then along a larger thoroughfare. I was genuinely excited to try a donair, after hearing so much about them....and, incidentally, I was STARVING. Tony's Donair & Pizza is your typical hometown restaurant the apparently does more takeout than it does eat-in. There are only 2 or 3 tables, and you can tell the location is aged. Your order is placed at the counter and wait for your order to be called. There is no drink fountain, but a selection of beverages in a cooler. (YEAH, for Dr. Pepper®). I didn't know what to expect from a donair, really. Just that it's like a Gyro, but it has a sweeter sauce on it. I was not, in any way, disappointed. It was heavily stuffed with pita meat, whatever the mysterious sweet sauce is, and onions. A side of onion rings rounded out the meal nicely. The food was fresh and very tasty. The staff was friendly enough while appearing to be in a hurry to get something else done. It was around lunch time so I'm sure they had a lot of takeout orders to get made. All in all, a good visit. I can tell all of the people who said I had to get a donair that I did and I loved it. read more

Donair wrap was packed with lots of meat. However, the flavor of the meat and white sauce together was overwhelmingly sweet. Pepperoni pizza was chewy and similar to frozen pizza in taste. read more

Tried Donair eggrolls... IMHO overcooked and the cooking oil was probably past its prime--the meat inside was as crispy as the eggroll. A little dissapointing and pricey for what it was. Meh. read more

Absolutely the best Donair!!! This is the spot you have to go! Friendly service as well!

In MY humble opinion, BEST Donair in Halifax! Love this place and is my regular go to when in town.

I found myself third wheeling my friends Gavin and Mikaela at Tony's Pizza & Donair, and honestly? If you're going to be the third wheel, this is the place to do it. Tony's absolutely delivers when it comes to classic late-night comfort food. The pizza was loaded with toppings, perfectly cheesy, and had that ideal balance of a crisp crust with a soft, satisfying bite. Every slice held together and didn't feel skimpy -- exactly what you want when you're sharing (or silently judging who's eating more). The donair was just as solid: warm, well-seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and that sweet donair sauce that brings everything together. Messy in the best way, and packed with flavor from the first bite to the last napkin. The vibe at Tony's is casual and welcoming -- no frills, no pretending to be something it's not. Service was quick and friendly, even while the place was busy, and the food came out hot and fresh. While Gavin and Mikaela were doing their thing, I was fully locked in on the food -- and Tony's made it easy. Reliable, filling, and exactly what you're craving, whether you're on a date, with friends, or proudly third wheeling like me. Five stars. Third wheel approved. -- The Muncher read more

My Maritime friends keep telling me to get a donair in Halifax when I get there, so we went for the recommended choice in the town; Tony's. And so we did. Service was efficient, but the staff seemed more fixated on the Stanley Cup Final going on. My order was the medium FAMOUS donair; they seem to make a big deal out of it. It was the right size for me, and it was overall creamy, savoury, and spicy. Not dry like I was somehow expecting. The only donair I had was in Ottawa, and this definitely seemed to be a step up. The inside was a cool diner atmosphere. There's a video on the tv showing the celebrities that visited, including Terry Fox who started his Marathon of Hope close to here. Even the menu tries to remind you it's FAMOUS, to the point of being a little obnoxious. So I thought the experience was fine overall. Didn't really live up to my expectations, but I'm still glad I made the pilgrimage. read more

Hubs and I tried Tony's Donair for a late night bite after the Citadel tour by dark when in Halifax last month. It was an entertaining vibe from the moment we walked in. One staff member bantering and jabbing the others over disagreements on what to watch on the TV. They had another TV playing a loop of celebrities and Canadian icons (like Terry Fox) that had visited the donair and pizza shop over the years. I asked buddy behind the counter for recommendations of what's good as we are out of towners and what he liked best in the restaurant. Unfortunately, he didn't have any suggestions and was like, Meh - I don't really like anything here that much. We opted for a donair since we were in the home of donairs and a garlic cheese bread that ended up not being what I thought - It was literally a baguette of bread with garlic and cheese melted inside. I thought I was ordering the one in the picture more like garlic cheese bread fingers but you live and learn. The donair was MEAT heavy - not like the donairs I'm used to out west with tomatoes and lettuce and other toppings thrown in. I asked for hot sauce to be added and the server thought I was crazy, lol. If you've never tried hot sauce in a donair, DO IT. I can't say I would come here again. It was good to try and a total Canadian landmark location but there are other dives I'd like to try if in the area again. read more

Definitely worth trying. It's good and the price is decent. I had a medium regular donair, it was absolutely filled with meat which I was happy with. However, the pita was too small for the amount of meat, so it wouldn't close and stuff kept on falling out. The meat tasted good but wasn't very well seasoned. The sauce was okay, a bit of spice which I like. The tomatoes and onions were just piled in the middle on the bottom. Again, it's definitely worth trying, but don't expect it to be the best donair you've ever had. read more

I had heard of Tony's Donair before we ever went to Halifax. Don't know exactly where I heard the name, but we happened to stumbled across their little corner shop while wondering the streets of Halifax. We ordered their cheese bread and a beef donair. They both were quite good but neither of them blew my mind. I like that they had a little video playing on the TV that name-dropped several celebrities who had come through the doors. People from NHL players, the Trailer Park Boys and musicians like Sarah McLachlan and Rod Stewart have all partaken in Tony's Donair. I must admit that I got a huge kick out of the fellow who took our order who was loud and obnoxious (only towards his collegues) in arguing that European Football was better than American Football. It was like a straight-up comedy routine. Good entertainment for a late evening bite. While I have had better donairs (don't get me wrong - Tony's were good), I didn't quite get what all the hype was about, with locals saying that Tony's was the best they ever had. At this moment in time, I beg to differ. I would love for someday to go back and be proven wrong. read more

Tony's used to be my roommate's go-to for late night donairs, but since those experiences were from years ago and *ahem* a little blurry, I'll stick to more recent encounters. Recently I had the opportunity to put in the food order for a meeting for work so I chose Tony's and got a few different pizzas, including their donair and works. Don't worry, this was an evening meeting, so we didn't have to worry about the donair weighing us down in the afternoon. We ordered well ahead of time and the pizzas came right when we requested. The donair pizzas had a thick layer of meat, and was fairly moist and had a good donair flavour to it. A generous layer of cheese, onion and tomato on top completed the donair experience, as well as a generous dollop of their thick donair sauce. The crust wasn't bad, but was nothing to write home about, although any delivery pizza tends to be that way. The works came with pepperoni, sausage, onion, mushroom and green pepper. The meats had just the right amount of salt and savoury goodness, and the veggies were fresh and added a nice pop of flavour to each slice. No re-inventing of the wheel here, but a solid entry. As I just live a few blocks away, I occasionally stop by for a slice of the works, and it's a dependable piece of 'za. Tony's is a good choice if you're looking for a good pie, and I'll get back to you when I finally have one of their donairs again. That is, if I'm in a condition to do so. read more

We were told this was the best 'Halifax Donair' place in town and decided to try it. This was our first Halifax Donair experience and we had no baseline to compare it to. The donair was quite enjoyable with a generous portion given when ordering the medium size. Staff were friendly and accommodating. A short walk from the Citadel and a great place for lunch if visiting the Citadel. This is fast food and when comparing to other fast food options this place is a must try. I would recommend asking for a plate as the pita is stuffed and the sauce is quite very runny. read more

Really good donair - thinly sliced meat and. It too much donair sauce! The meat was fresh and was nicely spiced - it has a bit more of a kick to it than others. Ordered the large donair - it can feed two people. Weighed it and it was over a pound!!! Not very busy when went but it was the middle of winter. read more

It's been about 30 years since I last tasted the wares of this neighborhood icon. Was stumped what to do for dinner so got a couple of orders of donair poutine. PHE-NOMNOMNOM-ENAL. The meat was great with just the right level of spice,the fries were just the right balance of crisp and moist,the cheese was more shredded than curds but nice. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Well decent good pizza at lunch for a very low price for a pizza slice which is very large and a pop altough the pizza is quiet good its not groundbreaking altough it is convient and easy making it worth going to check out read more

On my visit to Halifax earlier this year, I was introduced to something called the "donair", it's like a shwarama meat (made of beef) but served with some sweet creamy garlic sauce. It can be served as a wrap with onions and tomatoes, or on pizza! The flavours were incredible - good amount of spice in the meat, I especially liked the pizza, it had a good amount of cheese and donair sauce, one of the most unique pizzas I've had! The wrap is good too, but I felt it had too much sauce so it was a bit messy to eat. Definitely would try again next time I'm in Halifax! read more

Never again ordered from tony's it's not the same owners at all. Usually when you get a donair it's greasy. This isn't at all, it's not the same meet texture as other places you to to get donairs.

We couldn't visit Halifax without a pitstop into Tony's to try a local delicacy - the donair! We ordered a medium donair ($8.95) to split as a pre-dinner snack and it really hit the spot. Loaded with thin slices of meat, tomatoes and onions in a pita, we had to eat the first few bites with a knife and fork so that it didn't explode in our face. And there's just something about the donair sauce that made it so very satisfying - a bit sweet, a little spice and a lot delicious! I'm sure President's Choice will be packaging it soon and calling it "Memories of Halifax". read more

Boy was this a hot stop at 2am! Normally packed to the rim with people coming from a wild night after our local night clubs closed. Always on the way home stopping for one of Tony's famous donairs was the thing to do. Great Donairs great portions always enough to save for the next morning. To me I was not fan of the pizza but the Donair meat was always nice and spicy. The Sauce as well was not sweet like some are it was just right. read more

Really disappointed in my order this evening. I previously had Tony's at a friend's place who lives across from the shop, it was wonderful. We had the most amazing BBQ chicken pizza and I've been wanting it ever since. Well, since we're in lockdown, it's good to support small business so I decided to order from Tony's and get my BBQ chicken pizza. But my Pizza tonight wasn't good...There was hardly any BBQ sauce on this at all, not like the lovely BBQ sauce drizzle and BBQ style sauce on bottom I had originally... I came home and added more chicken and BBQ sauce to it to make it somewhat resemble a BBQ pizza. I also asked for a regular Donair with the works, but it was dripping in grease, no toppings were on the top, but rather the bottom and the sauce/grease soaked the pita and onion/tomato mixture completely. If you're ordering: be very clear with what you want. Was looking for the great experience I had at Tony's previously. I know they've been highly rated before, but maybe you just need to be super specific with your order specifications. read more

My boyfriend and I are big fans of donairs so we decided to give Tony's a try. We ordered two regular donairs and a 9" garlic The donairs seemed much smaller compared to other places and the meat was lacking the normal donair spice kick that donairs in halifax are famous for. Service was quick and had no issues with our order. So overall, it was just average for us. read more

Went to buy a donair at 12:10am. The sign said they were open until 3:00 am.! They were closed. I can see the store front from my hotel room and they are still closed. No sign of explanation. Yelp indicates they are open now too. When a business posts hours of operation they must follow the hours posted for customer convenience and continuity. It's not good business practice to close 3 hours early. Heard the food was good but I'll never know. read more

Meh.... nothing to really write about nor complain about. Tony's been a staple from my childhood having spent many lunches here while in High School. Seemed better back then, they use to have arcade games and the staff were more personable. Now.... its more like pay and leave. read more

Love this place! Always get the medium donair pizza... huge za! 10 bucks. However... the deal has ended and to my surprise my medium donair was not as big and double the price (20.00).

I placed an order for 6 donair egg rolls on Uber eats. It said they come with tomatoes, onions and donair sauce. I placed the order before before 9:30pm. On the app it said it would be here between 9:45-10:15. I didn't get my food until 10:40 and not only were there no tomatoes and onions but it was very greasy and cold, over all super unimpressed with the service and quality, won't be reordering. read more

Tony's Donair on Cunard St has really gone downhill. You used to be able to get a Greek salad and donair pita for 7.95 or something and they were a good size. Now they are ten bucks and half the size. Half the meat, old lettuce and didn't even put the English cukes on. Grrrrrr! Been going there since 2005 but the past two years the quality and quantity has REALLY gone downhill. It's so bad I am compelled to write this. My purchase was made on March 2, 2018. Was two Greek salad and donair pita's. A friend of mine who used to go to Tony's with me but doesn't any more for the same reasons suggested Mezza's after seeing my post on Facebook about this. Mezza was two bucks cheaper for the exact same order and vastly superior in quantity and quality. I used to work around the corner and ate here once a week. I will never buy from them again. Too many bad experiences as of the past 2 or 3 years. Before this incident my donair sauce was sour. read more

So I had to work late one night, and work was buying me dinner. I decided on pizza, and was told to try Tony's for their donairs. I don't like donairs, but I thought I would still give their pizza a go. I ordered (for a colleague and myself) a medium Hawaiian pizza and garlic fingers. I was not impressed. I found that there was very little sauce, next to no toppings (I actually had two pieces that had no pineapple on them), and little flavor to the dough when it came to the pizza. The garlic fingers were dry and not that cheesy. I asked for garlic dipping sauce, as the deal was supposed to come with two sauces. They only delivered one. I cannot say I will be ordering from here again. read more

A friend of mine used to live adjacent to Tony's, and with the place always within sight, I accumulated a series of great reviews. Of course it stuck in my memory box for pizza fixes, and eventually I would have to take on the quest myself. The time did come, and I was expecting good things. The shop itself seems pretty old school with no-fluff service but a spectrum of quick pizza treats. I ordered a veggie by the slice, which cost me around $6. Results? It was ok. Warm, good amount of cheese, but lacking on the veggie variety and not top dollar crust. I suppose these sorts of places are more about convenience and what type of 'zza your into (A lot of quick stops tend to put more into meat pizzas) ... so I can't really be too upset. I'm not into donairs, so will not be giving that a go. People love Tony's but I can't see myself coming back unless I'm in the neighbourhood at 2am with the hankering for grease. read more

I'm attempting to eat as many donairs as possibly while in Halifax without having a heart attack. At my dad's recommendation this was the first place on my tour de donair. At 10PM on a Thursday evening I had a mighty fine donair. These guys appear to be donair veterans, they even have a special meat cutter that I`ve never seen before. It cut all the pieces into completely even thin slices. The guy making my donair made it in record time. It was pretty reasonably priced, I think it was $7ish for a regular. The meat was seasoned very nicely. My dad, the donair expert, said it was up to his high standards. They gave me generous amounts of onions and tomatoes which I like, and they added a ton of sauce which is also awesome. The sauce was quite sweet which I like. They didn`t add THAT much meat to it and I was able to eat it easily. I can`t really figure out if that`s good or not. Something I have to give them credit for: they added a layer of plastic before the tin foil layer so it wasn`t so ridiculously messy, great idea! They were making a shawarma when I was in, and I go to school in Ottawa which pretty much has more shawarma places than the entire Middle East, so I can confirm the shawarma looked awesome. read more
