I go to Tony's about once per month the last 5 years and I'm always very, very satisfied with the food, staff and speed getting my orders! I usually get a medium pizza with works and extra cheese or a small Donair, also like the toasted subs, much love for Tony's!!!

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. -

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. -

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". -

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!
