Sammy's World's Greatest Pizza

Order: Donair Special ($19.95). A 12-inch pizza with garlic sauce, donair meat, donair sauce, onions, diced tomatoes and lettuce.

Crust: A Greek-style thick crust that was well cooked and not doughy, so it worked well as a platform for the traditional donair toppings.

Sauce: Instead of tomato sauce, this pizza features a sweet and sticky donair sauce that was developed in the donair meat birthplace, Halifax.

Toppings: The pizza is cooked with garlic sauce, meat and cheese and then the donair sauce and produce are added post-oven. This creates a cool-versus-hot contrast you don’t get with most pies. While Sammy’s would not reveal its white sauce recipe — which I suspect is a combination of evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar and spices — they did confirm that both the sauce and meat are made in-house. The amount of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and onions was also quite generous.

Dining options: Delivery, takeout or limited dine-in space at a counter.

Decision: The donair meat was well spiced and cut perfectly for pizza — thick enough to sink your teeth into, but not so thick it became chewy. Overall, I found the pizza to be very filling, so I suggest taking that into consideration when ordering. As much as I enjoyed this pizza, I think I would prefer a plain old donair, which Sammy’s also offers on its menu. If you’re torn between the two — or not a glutton like me — I have no issue suggesting that this is a viable option, but there are other tasty options as well. I’m giving this pizza four out of six slices.
