Info
Pizza Corner is an intersection in Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the junction of Blowers Street and Grafton Street. It is a local landmark originally consisting of three pizzerias: King of Donair, Sicilian Pizza and the European Food Shop. Completing the four corners is the Presbyterian Church of Saint David, a provincially recognized heritage building. All three pizzerias are known for their Halifax-style donairs, and the corner is a popular destination for hungry patrons of the local bars and pubs.
In 1995, when the G7 Summit was held in Halifax several world leaders made a point of visiting the location and buying donairs.
Recently King of Donair has moved to another location, leaving the iconic corner with only two pizzerias. The former KOD location has been replaced by a frozen yogourt chain. The European Food Shop closed in 2015 after operating since 1987. The building's owner said the space "will still be a food shop but likely not a pizza shop".
