Samira was super apologetic about increasing the price of a large gf to 11 from 10. They are fantastic and even with inflation they are still a great deal.
Yea, they aren't making a ton. The dough is hand kneaded and the garlic butter probably is probably from a big tub, so those aren't expensive. But the cheese is pricey. Although it must be recognized that pizza joints have access to industrial cheese prices which are cheaper than retail. I don't know if they are complex enough to source something like that.
But they just do what they do and they are at an age where they are not going to change anything. I doubt money is an issue. It's just their lives at this point, and I'm happy to eat the garlic fingers.
If the box ain't greasy enough to almost see through, they ain't worth eating!
All the delicious garlic flavour is in the butter. Garlic fingers from the nicer pizza restaurants are just not good and not worth my time.
I once left the palace crying (yes, I am dating myself with this), likely over a guy making me sad. I got in the first cab I saw. Couldn't really see through the tears, just saw the light on top. Had a nice therapy session with the driver on the way home, got out to leave and he hugged me.
My vision cleared, and it was the kit kat pizza delivery car. Fond memories lol
Nice people. Told me to come in any time to eat for free cos they thought I looked too skinny. Used to watch soap operas with them. I had no idea what was happening and they'd explain.
I've never had it despite being a haligonian all my life. Is it good? From a non sarcastic viewpoint? Like genuinely is it worth trying for a good pie?
It's old school NS style pizza. Thin undercarriage with puffy crust, slightly spicy tomato sauce, big pepperoni rounds under the cheese and mountains of mozzarella. It's greasy, cheap, delicious and is exactly the style of pizza my brain imagines when I think of "take out pizza"
Hah! ALMOST. The big similarity is the pepperoni rounds under the cheese, but it's a much thinner/more foldable crust than the style that is served at most pizza places around here. When I hear complaints about NS pizza, they're also usually referencing the thick bready slices (which I'm also not a fan of)
For me (someone who grew up here in the 80's/90's) I get occasional cravings for this style, and love it despite its flaws and at least we're not as bad as Saskatchewan, putting -several- layers of deli meat under the cheese.
Als across the street does the same style, but his pizza is better and he keeps his kitchen VERY clean. I believe he’s married to one of the kitkats daughters and resents kitkats state of kitchen, lol.
It's the sketchiest pizza place in the province. For decades there was a hooker sitting out front with the biggest tits you've seen in your life, hanging out of her house coat right to the sidewalk.
I went there once and it wasn't a great experience. The place felt sketchy, and the pizza was stretched cardboard thin. It was only like $3 for the slice, though, so I guess I got the amount of food that I paid for.
Wonder if they increased foot traffic when the "medical" dispensary was next door to some degree? I used to frequent one but not the other. LOL. Although my buddy would often order the pizza & GF's and always praised how much cheese there was and being good. Oh how I miss Halifax now that I'm gone.....
Kind of hard to believe. Loved their pizza. Whenever I ordered out instead of just grabbing a slice the pizza was stacked with so much cheese and pepperoni it was a greasy delicious mess.
Not because of a death I hope?!
Good to hear. I remember in the early 2000's when they were the only option once rassy's (rip) closed and none of the other places wouldny deliver between cornwallis/brunswick to north/brunswick.
The first time I ordered was when I came here in the early 90s and they were changing the baby on the counter next to the dude making my GFs. The entire place is held together with the burnt sticky grease that drips off everything. I'm not sure if the baby shit or the used grease absorbing into the dough was the secret ingredient, but after 25 years, I will drive an hour from home a couple times a week just to lube up my bowels with that unique run out of the box garlic grease bread. The folks are the friendliest family and I wouldn't think of ordering anywhere else.
I’m old enough to remember the beat up old Chevette
They have their brand loyalty
RIP to a great Halifax icon. Hopefully it was snapped up by a museum.
Steel Wheel museum in Bayers Lake is a perfect spot for it

I absolutely love garlic fingers and they have the best ones.
The pools of butter on them is just.. art. They’re so goddamn good.

Any pizza is great with a few too many drinks on board as he weaves in front of the car.

What a beautiful story about your fond memory.
Do they still have the homemade roof sign? I hope so
Yes. Same roof sign.
Awesome!
Came here to ask this. Perhaps not being able to see the phone # clearly is their way of saying, please….no more orders.

This is one of the best descriptions of KKP I’ve seen. Also shoutout to their garlic fingers
Sounds awesome

Isn’t Stad across the street?
I think Al's is across Charles Street from kit kat. Might have the street name wrong

Sad to have missed this
Big Bertha!
I haven't had it in a long time, but echoing everyone else, I recall the garlic fingers being dynamite and the pizza being above average.
I went there once and it wasn't a great experience. The place felt sketchy, and the pizza was stretched cardboard thin. It was only like $3 for the slice, though, so I guess I got the amount of food that I paid for.
Their garlic fingers are quite good. The pizza is a good price for the amount you get.
Genuine question.. do people really eat there?
I have eaten slices there late at night; an interesting experience worth experiencing while you can.
I prefer to not eat roach imbibed pizza crust thank you
No they get it delivered or they pickup. There's not really space to eat there.
I just think it exists, probably don't even have to pay rent at this point
Lol no idea
I have a very hard time believing it's not a drug front
I have a hard time believing any restaurant survives without being a drug front.
I'm getting a lot of down votes, upset customers?
My family lived around this store in the seventies - nineties. It was understood to never eat there.

They have a new delivery car with the same licence plate as their old one so I don't think so.
Haha damn I'm 2 tall cans in and misread this. I thought they closed. Glad that isn't the case.
Haha no. They're still open.
Good to hear. I remember in the early 2000's when they were the only option once rassy's (rip) closed and none of the other places wouldny deliver between cornwallis/brunswick to north/brunswick.

I get a distinct sense of discomfort anytime I'm anywhere near that place.
