Having spent several years out of Halifax, and only moving to Dartmouth recently, pizza purveyor Yeah Yeahs was a big blind spot that I was looking to quickly remedy. I had previously tried and failed on the popular pizza night of Halloween, but better planning on a regular ol' Friday in the winter saw better success. Famously perched above TIBS, the pickup was easy while I chilled for a few minutes in their paper-plate-art-adorned space and marvelled at the insanity of walk-ins waiting for more than 45 minutes WITH THEIR KIDS! Call ahead people, it ain't hard! Somehow resisting having a slice in the car on the way home, I eagerly dug in once inside. For myself, I had ordered The Boss - onions, roasted peppers, sausage, feta, mozza and a tomato sauce. Is it Bruce Springsteen inspired? I don't care enough to Google it, but since we're living in the post-truth era, I'll just go ahead and say "sure". All jokes aside, this was a great pie - airy cornicione, lightly charred crust, and overall such a damn good flavour; herby sausage, salty feta, and the bite of onions backed up by the savoury roasted peppers, you'd be crazy to not like this pizza. My wife opted for The White, which I had also been eyeing up. Keeping it easy and cheesy, with parm, mozza and fior de latte, roasted mushrooms and green onions, Yeah Yeahs packed a lot of salty, savoury goodness onto this meatless pizza. One drawback was that my wife had ordered the gluten-free crust, which is only 12", and is priced the same as the regular 18" pies, which have more than twice the surface area. I get that gluten-free flours aren't cheap, but neither is meat and cheese, and compared to other GF pizzas out there, it felt...disproportionate. My next time there had me picking up their meat pizza for takeout. Once again, Yeah Yeahs checked a lot of the right boxes for a top notch pizza - a little bit of char on the airy cornicione, pleasantly chewy crust, and a nice balance of flavours in the quality toppings. As we've become more established in Dartmouth, we've been adding to our list of go-to spots, and Yeah Yeahs is right up at the top of the pizza category, thanks to their consistently great pies. read more

Been meaning to come back to visit Yeah Yeahs Pizza, but they had sold out the last time I came to visit. Made it a point to go during lunch this time to make sure I didn't miss out again. Got 2 slices (pepperoni and Margherita) and both were great. Crust had the leopard spotting and had a good texture. Cheese and toppings were excellent. Still looking to try one of their weekend specialties one of these visits. It's right above Two if By Sea, which I would highly recommend for their croissants if you're making the visit. read more

Amazing pizza at the west end location (on Oxford street)! The servers are lovely as well, except for one named Graham who can be a real prick. However, if you don't have him as a server it's a 10/10 experience! read more

Well. We ordered a pizza half margherita and half meat along with a Caesar salad large (asked for dressing on the side) to go. Order was ready, salad was fully dressed, we are visiting Dartmouth and out walking so took it all to where we are staying. Smelled incredible and we started eating once we got "home". Everyone immediately commented about the sand and grit taste and feel in the mouth. Threw out the slices and decided we'd just have salad. Turns out the salad (romaine was the issue).... Threw that out and went back to the leftover pieces after rinsing our mouths of sand. Pizza (well, what was left (was delicious).... Called after to 1. Tell them to wash the romaine and stop making salads with it until they do: and 2. Ask for a refund as we couldn't make a meal of it and with tip was over $45 They say they have had lots of complaints about the lettuce, are washing it, have a new supplier, and don't know what the issue is. Maybe take it off the menu for now!?! Phone issues and the staff member couldn't hear me. Called from a landline after a constant busy signal when I called from my cell. They picked up. They again offered our next pizza would be free (a pizza is $23 so that doesn't compensate us at all for the food and the dinner was ruined). Asked for a refund. Can't do that without manager and he never comes in or responds but she can try to text. So, take your chances with them, I guess. But above all else, don't order the salad. Really disappointed. read more

worst experience ever... I have given Yeah Yeahs Pizza multiple chances, but my recent experiences have been nothing short of disappointing. As someone who hails from Napoli, I understand the nuances of a well-made pizza, and unfortunately, Yeah Yeahs Pizza falls drastically short. On one occasion, my pizza was overcooked to the point of being crunchy in some areas. In my past experiences, the pizzas were cooked almost correctly; I gave them a pass mark because I like thin crust and have accepted that I can't have a great traditional Neapolitan pizza in North America. When I showed them a photo of the overcooked pizza on my next visit, I was told that this is their standard way of making pizza. This explanation was inconsistent with my previous orders, which were cooked correctly. I was advised to request the pizza "undercooked" to avoid this issue in the future. When I did so, the person taking the order over the phone did not understand my request, resulting in yet another disappointing experience. To top it off, they made a mistake on my order the last time I visited, and due to a lack of dough, they could only offer a small discount instead of rectifying the order. The pizza was still slightly overcooked, but I chose not to complain. Today, when I attempted to place an order, I was informed that they would no longer take orders from me. This level of customer service is appalling and unacceptable. Rather than addressing the issues, they have chosen to turn away a customer who has given them multiple chances to improve. For anyone seeking quality pizza, there are better options in Halifax. Pizzeria Morris offers superior pizzas cooked in an actual wood oven at comparable prices. Alternatively, Ristorante a Mano provides a better quality, thin-crust pizza cooked perfectly in an electric oven. For a truly authentic Neapolitan pizza experience, Trattoria Vesso is an excellent choice. They are AVPN® certified (True Neapolitan Pizza Association - Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana), and I go there when I want to treat myself. However, for a takeout pizza, Morris would be my choice at a comparable price range. Even the frozen pizza at Atlantic Superstore, such as PC Hand-Tossed Margherita or Funghi, is cooked to the right point. Additionally, I did not mention the ambiance, which is not inviting. It feels like a mix between a fast food and a basic restaurant. While it looks pretentious from the outside, the inside is cold and not inviting at all. Yeah Yeahs Pizza needs to reassess their attitude and focus on improving their product and customer service. Turning away loyal customers who seek nothing more than a properly cooked pizza is not the way to run a business. read more

Great pizza at Yeah Yeahs on our first visit to Dartmouth. Friendly place with a good selection. We had half Margh and half mushroom with Arugula. All fresh and delicious. We are NYers and incurable pizza snobs--and would come back to Yeah Yeahs in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great lunch! read more

Let me be clear about something: this isn't about Yeah Yeah's Pizza in Dartmouth. No, it's about Yeah Yeah's Pizza in Halifax, West End, which is the perfect spot for a slice & a pint. Multiple taps of excellent Two Crows Brewing beer and cider, good coffee, and rockin' thin crust pizza. The crew there is friendly & knowledgeable about beers, ciders & pizza (and really, what else do you need to know?) and will add sunshine to your lunch. read more

I don't get the hype. The $5.75 slice of pizza was def better than what you would get from under the heat lamp at KOD but I was expecting to be blown away. I got the weekly special slice which featured hot pepperoni and banana peppers. I didn't find the sauce flavourful; the toppings were as sparse as your uncle's bad comb over. Where. is. the. cheese? The thin crust was probably the best part but even with that I got to the edges it was doughy and too thick. If I had made a special trek and brought home a whole pie that was just shy of $30 I would probably be filled with mozza-rage. Handmade pizza with few toppings I get it... sorry Datmouth Sal's in Hydrostone is way better. read more

It surprises me the reviews for this place are not 100% 5 star ratings. The chef, from what I remember, spent over a year in Italy perfecting his pizza crust, and nothing comes close to it. Perfectly crunchy thin pizza that stays stiff when you hold it by the crust, yet is chewy on the inside. Perfection. A pizza dream. I was a pizza cook at a very reputable restaurant in halifax and they would kill for his recipe. If you don't believe me, give it a try yourself. You won't be disappointed. Try the pepperoni first. You'll understand what Im fussing about. read more

First I want to say some of these reviewers have some sub-par tastes for pizza. One is comparing this place against D. O. P Italian style pizza, not fair it's totally different. Next someone complained about lacked toppings. Again this pizza is not meant to be a toppings overload, go eat a sandwich bro if you want that many toppings! Sorry, I'm getting heated cause this is the best damn pizza I've had in a decade. I'm from the NYC area, live in Canada, miss NYC pizza so much. This place not only has become the beat pizza I have ever had in Canada, it honestly does a better job at pizza than half the places I know in NYC area. I'm kinda humbled and speechless still. It reminds me of old school pies I used to have in Brooklyn and Queens as a kid. For real, can't believe I ate this, it was so damn good. Everything was perfect, the dough was perfext, the bake was perfect, the sauce and cheese blend was perfect, the stretch of the dough was perfect. I'm having an identity crisis, NYers are known for their pizza, and this place is cleaning the floor with some of the most established "must go to" pizza in NY. Half of me doesn't even know how to feel about that. I stress this - they are making better pizza than a lot of NYC OG shops. read more

Decent, standard pizza. Quick service. Relatively friendly. Cashier said 10-15 minutes. Pizza was ready in about 10 minutes and we were out the door. read more

This pizza is now battling with Salvatore's for the #1 spot. It reminded me of how Halifax pizza used to taste when I was 10. Plus it's edging on the whole NY slice thing. City of trees is regaining it's pizza credibility. read more

Well here's an unpopular opinion, I've been here a few different times and find nothing here to have stood out as exceptionally tasty or worthy of the praise it's been getting. Don't get me wrong, I love minimalistic authentic thin crust pizza in a wood oven, I just can't justify paying $5 for a meh slice of pizza. I think the sauce is really lackluster for this type of pizza, when I've had great thin crust wood oven pizza in Montreal for instance- the sauce has been very tomatoey and zesty but i don't find yeah yeah's to be of the same caliber. I also have an issue with the way the toppings are distributed, which is very inconsistently. I've had a margherita slice to go two times now where there's only been one basil leaf on it. I've also gotten a white pizza there- which was actually pretty good aside from the fact that the mushrooms seemed to be dumped into the middle of the pizza, as there was only a big clump of mushrooms on just one bite of my pizza. I do find the crust really good and I like the old fashioned bottles of pop. For now I would give them a 2.5 if I could, maybe I'm not cool enough to appreciate Yeah Yeahs or something. read more

I wanted to love this pizza. I like the signage, the look and feel of the place, the people who work there, and especially the pizzas on display. I went back three times and got a different slice each time. The problem is that although the entire operation is artisanal, the pizza is quite tasteless. A decent frozen pizza is much more flavorful. Yeah Yeah's is the love doll of Nova Scotia pizza: It's beautiful but it ain't alive. read more

We had a white pizza from Yeah Yeahs last night - absolutely amazing. Dough and toppings were perfect. The thin crust was soft, chewy with a slight crisp and char - so much better than the salty, thick, doughy, cornmeal coated stodgefests that are so common in pizza joints around here! Not cheap ($27 for a large), but the quality is so high that I think it's still worth it. The pizza here was the best I've had in HRM. read more

I had the basil Margarita Pizza it was okay the crust was great everything else was like so so. I don't know how this almost have five stars the pizza was too expensive for what you get $5 it's more like a $3 slice. It would be a dollar slice in New York too small to read more

I really wanted to like this place more than I did. I understand this place has gone through a huge process to make their pies as authentic to New York style pies as possible and I appreciate that effort. However, I've never been to New York before, so I'm not exactly sure if they achieved that goal or not. All I know is that the crust was extremely chewy. Like to the point where my jaw started to hurt after taking a couple slices. I appreciated the thin crust but man, this is the chewiest crust I've ever come across. It was almost like I was chewing pizza flavoured gum. Secondly, I ordered a good old fashioned pepperoni pizza over the phone. I was told that they didn't have any pepperoni. The best they could do was to give me genoa salami instead. WTF? What the hell kind of pizza shop runs out of pepperoni? That's like a coffee shop running out of cream or sugar. Come on now. If they want to be treated seriously they can't afford to run out of the most popular ingredient to ever be put on a pizza. I was starving so I went with the genoa salami anyway- having not really experienced it before. I should have just not bothered. The salami was so greasy and salty. And I love salty, but this was too much. Also, they seemed sparse with the cheese. The sauce was decent. I'm annoyed that this supposed reputable business couldn't deliver on the most simplest of orders. What I got, I couldn't even finish because of the salty salami and the super chewy crust. For what it's worth, my neighbour's dog seemed to enjoy what I couldn't finish. read more

Sooo good!!! as close to Bronx pizza this side of New York Highly recommend. Super casual and you can order by the slice. And you can draw on the plates and post your art work for added decor and ambiance. The staff were very cheerful and smiley. Happy to visit again. read more

Not bad! Main Takeaway: go get it while it's hot and don't bother with delivery. I ordered delivery, it took very long to get there and when the delivery man arrived, I saw him go to the back seat to put the pizza boxes in the insulated bag just in the parking lot, so the pizza and garlic fingers were cold. Also, I understand it takes a while for a higher-end quality pizza place to deliver, but this was quite long. They said it would be about an hour but was an hour and 20 minutes. This isn't as much of an issue as the cold pizza. Not to mention the $5 delivery charge (which may be standard but still seemed odd). I would rather have walked downtown to get the pizza if I knew it would cost this plus be cold. I tipped the guy too but maybe I shouldn't have? Hard to say if it was really his fault or the cooks or what happened.. tried to be empathetic given the current COVID situation and support small business. The pizza itself was great though! The "White" (with mushrooms etc) was delicious, however it would have been better if it was warmer. The crust of the main part of the pizza was thin and floppy, not sure if that is because of how old it was or what, which isn't a huge deal as long as it's tasty. The garlic fingers were ok but they were even colder than the pizza and we quite hard to chew as the crust had hardened from the journey. They aren't anything to rave about so don't bother, just get a pizza if you can. I would recommend to you all to go get their stuff in person at their store so it is fresh and hot before making any judgements. I think the poor customer service experience hindered me from having a true taste of what they have to offer. read more

This was undoubtedly the worst pizza we've ever bought. It was so thin they could have faxed it to the hotel desk. Burnt black on the crust and ice cold by the time we got it... do not recommend, save your money folks read more

This is great pizza- awesome thin crust, delicious toppings and not greasy! This is our first order and won't be our last.

Really really shocked they take the time to make everything from beginning to end but not the pesto. It is really sad. For a 26 dollar pizza where it is lacking huge helpings of toppings which is food channel cool and ok in 2017 they have a lot going on here but the pesto??????? won't be back. If you want to kill your business this is how to do it people. read more

This is the best pizza place in Nova Scotia to date! We've tried Salvatore's and a few others in search of something reminiscent of delicious Italian pizza. This pizza is on point. The thinnest I've ever seen, their POW pizzas are inspirational, and their basic menu pizzas are just phenomenal. The reviews I imagine are because people don't realize they're getting a super thin, actual Italian-esque pizza, which, in my opinion, is far superior. Their spot is small and informal, but super cute. Plus, every take-out order we've gotten has been ready early. We always go early to grab a coffee from TIBS, and the pizza is already ready for us (spoiler: I get the coffee anyway). read more

At 7:30 pm our first order was messed up beginning with missing 2 types of meats on the meat pizza and almost nothing on the Margherita. The Margherita pizza had little to nothing on it and the sauce was clearly visible through the cheese...thin cheese. The large $10 Caesar salad was ok matching anyone else's small but did have lots of custom sauce yet EXTREMELY hard custom croutons. Upon sharing the errors on the pizzas they were quick to apologize and provide replacement. The replacement had double or triple the amount of topping and the order was correct. The replacement pizza as their best offering was OK if you were really hungry but it seems their standard 18" pizza is really more sour dough to look impressive. The pizzas look as scantily dressed as an Amano's pizza but lack the delicious Amano's flavor. Yeah Yeahs was a fun name yet there is no parking, limited choice and having to return makes this a well below average experience in NS where the competition for quality is truly excellent. The real test of pizza is the cold pizza the next morning....the 14 year old kids didn't want either..."too salty and no real taste on either". Cheese? The only thing cheesy about Yeah Yeahs is "No No's". Sorry, the pizza is only good if it has the fresh baked aroma and hot out of the oven because anything with bread is good then but quickly reveals the true contents. Without names, pay a bit more for north end deliciousness pizza from S's and enjoy their gourmet touches.... read more

Yeah Yeahs moved in to the space above Two If By Sea in Dartmouth and they're offering pizzas and slices. I had very little in the way of expectation trying it for the first time apart from the birds of a feather nature of the location being in and of itself being probably as much recommendation as most locals would need. The pizza is possibly the best I have had in Halifax, one of the best I've had anywhere. It may be sacrilege to say such a thing considering that we have Salvatore's across the pond, and I worship at that temple on a weekly basis. At any rate, it's not a contest, it's just nice to have a another pizzeria of this calibre setting up shop. If I were to review the crust, it might require untoward language. TLDR: the crust was insanely good on the slices I had. Soft, toothsome, maybe a bit crunchy at the same time. Stunning. Up top was great as well - tons of flavour, I tried a white veggie pizza and a margherita and I can't see myself going back with out ordering that duo again assuming they are on offer. Great to see that they automatically heat your pizza slice without asking or cajoling, and that they offer the classic triumvirate of oregano, chile, and parmesan to shake onto your slice. They also offer housemade drinks such as the lemonade, which if not particularly memorable, was good. I doubt that they deliver to Halifax and take out might be a bit foolish as well, but if I lived on the other side of the harbour I'm sure I would be be eating this pizza far too often for my own good. Very very good. Will be back at any opportunity. read more

Great pizza! If you are looking for a light fresh crust and great tasting ingredients, look no further! Short list of choices but each one is unique and delish! read more

I have found our new pizza joint in Dartmouth! The menu is small, but the pizza was fantastic. I would much rather have fewer options which were delicious, rather than lots of options which may leave more to be desired, so I'm A OK with this approach. I can see how some people may prefer to pick their own toppings, but we found many pizzas that we wanted to try from the menu. We loved the crust, the sauce was great, and the toppings ("Boss" pizza) were delicious. The service was great, super friendly and fast. I can't ask for more. We will definitely be back. read more

Tried this place out last week. First, it was very hard to find as the signage is almost non-existent, both on the street and when you walk into Two If By Sea (you have to take the stairs up). As for the pizza itself, the crust was delicious, as everyone has previously said. However, there are very few topping choices (they're pre-combined, so you can't customize them), they're put on the pizza very sparsely, and the tomato sauce leaves much to be desired (it's very bland with a lack of tomato taste). I was hoping for a good Dartmouth pizza choice to compete with Piatto and A Mano across the harbour - Yeah Yeahs isn't quite there yet. read more

Hallelujah! We now have decent pizza in downtown Dartmouth. Okay, the pizza at Il Trullo is really good too but there was a gap in the 'grab a slice with a mate or pick up a pie for the family on the way home from work' market. The gap has been filled, people! As other reviewers have said, it's mostly about the dough. Thin pizza but not too crispy with a perfectly thicker, chewy crust. It is everything I've been looking for, close to home. To date, I've tried The White, The Boss and the garlic fingers (hate the sauce- WTF with sweet garlic sauce?! but I don't care for donair sauce either). All very good, but they are often stingy with toppings. I understand and appreciate the fact that the dough isn't overloaded with toppings (the dough should shine), but with tax, you're paying close to $30 for a pizza. It should be amazing. Sometimes all the toppings seem to be on one part of the pizza, sometimes there's just not much going on at all. Definite quality control issues. You need to be consistent, guys. The ice-cream sandwiches play second fiddle to the pies but are also very good. They also serve lemonade and iced tea. I hope this place works out its issues and continues to grow so it can open later on weekends and start to offer delivery in Dartmouth. read more
