29 Portland St, Dartmouth, NS B2Y 1H1, Canada
We are the First and Oldest Donair Shop in Dartmouth & Our Pizzas are Made Traditionally in a Stone Oven. Opened in 1975, Revana Pizza is famous for our delicious pizza made with whole tomatoes in secret sauce. Our Donairs are another very popular menu item.
It's been years since I've been here as I'm not in the area but this place used to be me go to pizza place in HRM. I was in the area recently and decided to grab takeout. Got pizza and garlic fingers. It definitely isn't what it used to be sadly. The restaurant itself is in rough shape, walls have tile chipping of them, pizza boxes stored on tables, not a good vibe. The food itself was mediocre, my pizza and garlic fingers were definitely undercooked. The cheese looked like it just melted and was completely white on both the pizza and garlic fingers. No golden brown to be seen on the cheese surface. I've seen this consensus shared amongst other recent reviews. The service also was lacking. It was a Tuesday night and I called in a takeout order. Arrived 35 mins after I called and still waited another 10 mins in arrival for my food which stated above was undercooked. Unfortunately Revana isn't what it used to be, not much is anymore. I won't be back due my geographic location but if given the choice I would pass on Revana sadly.
i absolutely love revanas! for the past 2 summers i worked for a local non profit very close to revanas and would eat her atleast once a week. the food is always good, the dining area feels very homely, and the staff are amazing; especially the owner, marie. this place is amazing and anyone who says otherwise are just too stuck up to appreate this gem and it’s intended audience🩷
Pizza is great especially with the thick and spicy sauce. Ordered my usual for delivery tonight and recieved a burnt, bubbled, and mangled pizza. I called and they replaced it; the replacement was the great looking pizza I usually get. They handled the complaint great compared to other places in the area that I have experienced.
Worst place to eat. This place is full of junkies and they served me burnt pizza. They were not refunding the full amount. The owner is also very rude. He said it’s fine it happens you can eat burnt pizza. I felt so inferior when I was waiting at the place. This place sucks and I never recommend you visit it.
We had worst pizza today from there. It’s very soggy and thick dough which is not properly good cooked from inside. We ordered garlic sauce that is very much sweet don’t even had a taste of garlic. I don’t think that was a garlic sauce. It was our first time to try that pizza and now it was our last to visit that place for sure.
Best pizza in Dartmouth, period! Donair is quite on point as well. Strongly recommend, especially if you plan to sit in.
Best Donair in the area!!! Loads of perfectly seasoned meat, white onions and diced tomatoes covered in delicious sweet sauce on a soft airy flat bread. I could eat one daily!!! MMMmmmmm mmmm
I've had a few good pizzas from here but I'm not ordering from them ever again. Pizza and garlic fingers both half raw and look like Spider-man tried to deliver them but got distracted by a fight with Green Goblin on the way. Disgusting.
The barbecue sauce on the pizza was really good but the restaurant itself is kinda nasty but great food, but if ur seeing this. Do take out please
Pizza was average. But the service was so good and friendly that I didn t even care!
Love this place and will go every time I visit Dartmouth
Best crust
The lady who runs the place/is working most the time is one of the most open and lovely people Ive ever met. Her energy is great i think she is awesome
Very friendly service, donair panzerotti was amazing!
I love revanas pizza! It s always so good and fresh. The staff is so kind and welcoming. I would have photos but I eat it to quickly to capture it. Defiantly recommend for supper! A slice is very filling
Some of the best garlic fingers I ve ever had!
the guy working the cash is a total rude douche hire a better employee
Eating my overcooked, slightly burnt pizza. Update they r doing renovations. What is this that almost broke my tooth? Brick? Update .. 6 months later. Here s my nachos
This little pizza joint is a great local taste. The owner is really nice and welcoming. It is an old little building inside that adds to its charm. The food is all in-house fresh made and is delicious. Overall, the vibe and the service are great 8/10
great customer service food is delicious n well cooked to perfection i highly recommend it its Great Food
There is reasonable-price two-pond Donair. It fed me last spring. Its refreshing to gobble down most of it after training.
Great local pizza, always have some on hand for slices, staff is friendly, prices are good.
Be careful ordering donairs from here, they changed the way they make them and are now disgusting... The bread on the donair appears to be deep fried and hard as a rock and had burn marks all over it.. everything inside the donair tasted of dirty grease and also burnt.. Took 2 bites and threw it in the garbage, this is the 3rd one in a row ive gotten like this, was hoping it was just a fluke or new cook. Never again~
Bought two large pizzas, one was pizza and one was cheese. The pizzas were bad, no flavour. Spent $78.00 for blah. Been there twice, the first and last time. Have bought better tasting pizzas at Costco Wheelchair accessibility: Good feature
Some staff are plain rude to delivery drivers...Oh, I feel like slapping his teeth out.
Disrespectful guy working at the counter. Earn respect first. Hes gonna run the business down at this rate.
My go to for pizza
Have love their good for years!
Been ordering from Revana for over 20 years. I ordered tonight for the first time in over a year. I was really looking forward to it because it had been so long since I had it. We got a donair plate and a large donair with cheese. The meat was rubbery and tasted boiled. It wasnt cooked the way it usually is. Portions very small compared to a year ago when I last had it. The price was high for what you get and to top it off, I paid for an extra cup of sauce they didnt bring. As a decades long customer, Im disappointed with the quality, Portions and my forgotten item.
I love my donairs and this donairs was delicious, thank you to the friendly staff
One of the best pizzas Ive had. I now go there often. Classic small shop pizza AND they include a dough ball at the center!
Bought a small pizza with the works Upon eating eating it found a hair in it groused me out.
Excellent, authentic neighbourhood pizza! It was a great saturday night dinner after some drinks. Missed the doughball but thats ok!!
a local hidden gem in Dartmouth. the best donair in the maritimes Food
Great pizza, great people running the place, cool art on the wall
I love the wings. My favorite around. The staff are very kind, and very easy to connect with
Fish and fries( drop in grease) . I had to recooked them so now the fries are not soggy, fish is crisp. Pizza is great!
Love the Donair Subs from here. Always done perfectly
Pizza was pretty good.
owner spits on peoples cars when he doesn t like where they park
I ordered a 12 pizza and a large donair. The pizza had burnt edges and a black bottom and the donair was gritty (dont know if it was the meat or the pita) but every other bite crunched like sand. The donair had very little sauce so the meat was kind of dry. will continue to look for a pizzeria I like.
Had a slice of pepperoni pizza. It was as good as it gets. 5
I love the pizza here
The staff is 210% the vibes are immaculate
Like Greco better.
We ordered a chicken pizza and they gave us a pizza with what looked like old burnt french fries on it. When I called to complain they said they would never put french fries on a pizza. So what did they put on the pizza? Worst experience ever!
Staffs are rude. Do not go if you have a bad day because their behaviour will make it worst,
First of all, thank you for Darlene. This was my first time visiting Dartmouth and since I arrived late, most of the restaurants the hotel recommended were closed. Not only was Revana Pizza open for delivery, they had a lot more to offer than just pizza. I ordered the medium hot chicken wings. Darlene delivered my food and was so very accommodating. Talk about service with a smile. The next day I called back to let them know just how great Darlene was and how delicious the wings were. It was really great speaking with Jack and Marie. Not only did they make me feel welcomed, they made me feel like family. Looking forward to dining in next time Im in town.
Just went in for a slice. It was very dry and not fresh, basically broke in half as I was eating it. Used to love their pizza but the quality over the last year or two has been diminishing
We ve ordered twice now from Revana Pizza and it s truly the best pizza we ve found since moving to Dartmouth 2 years ago. Their delivery person is also a standout!
Ordered a med pizza & garlic fingers. Garlic fingers tasted like cardboard & there didn t seem to be enough sauce on the pizza.
Awesome donair and awesome pizza!!! I will become a regular here. Hope this helps
First time here. Working across the street and needed some lunch. Picked up a slice and a can of pop for $7. Overall pretty good not the best pizza I ve ever had but a solid 4/5 for sure.
Not a local, but the pizza here was really solid. Especially for the price. The lady working was also great - super friendly!
Staff is great and one of my favorite places to order !
I ordered a large Garlic fingers, at first they tasted great. later when I was going to get another piece I noticed there was a bug in the box. that made me not want eat it anymore. I buy from here all the time and this is the first time this has happened.
Crazy stafff. Rude and racist. Not recommend guys..
Nice spot for a quick slice of pizza or other subs and donairs. Friendly staff.
I grew up in London Ontario eating panzerottis made by real Italians. Ive been searching for an authentic panzerotti in HRM for years. Finally found it. The Revana panzerotti is excellent. Deep fried with an excellent crust. Needed extra cheese to rival the Ontario versions.
Best donair I ve had so far in Dartmouth. Pizza and G-fings were just ok though.
Been going here forever...love it!
Excellent donairs at excellent prices,also decent size.
Best donairs in the Maritimes!
Very good pizza always slices ready to go ..also have very full menu good choices
Amazing staff. Super friendy. Food was perfect, and delicious. Definitely will go back.
Delicious donairs and donair pizza
Enjoyed their pizza, friendly and entertaining staff while making pizza after pizza. The only thing, lots of toppings but they could have been spread out to the edges a little better. But will certainly order from there again.
Best pizza ive had yet, great customer service and kind staff. Ill be coming back here for food more often
Twice this summer I have been to Revana for a slice of pizza and both times the person working the cash was short, cranky, and rude, as if I was a bother. Get better people working the cash. I won t be buying a slice for home anytime soon. The guy last night was rude. Great pizza too bad the service isn t.
I enjoy the pizza from here to start on a positive note. I paid for 5 toppings plus extra cheese. 1 topping was missing and not 3.5$ worth of extra cheese. Worst thing was it took 1.5 hrs to arrive!!!
Never clean . Unhygienic !
Best fresh slice in town. Fight me
I loved Revana and have been a fan and supporter for 20 years, I ve ordered to my address many times but tonight they say they don t deliver here .
Best donair same as years ago. Greatest
Every few years we get a chance to come home and always make a point to visit Revana s. My wife and I there today and it was as great as always! Polite service at the counter, donairs were great, and really enjoyed it!
Good late night slice !
Great food, very friendly, fair prices! definitely recommend the Donair.. and I lived in Scotia my whole life!
The people there are halfwits, The pizza took over an hour when we got it it was cold garlic finger raw and we didnt get the extra sauce we paid for they more or less called us a liar when I called to ask for it. They said they put in the bag, well then pizza and garlic fingers were not in a bag for one and the one cup of sauce was on top of the boxes. If they put it in thr bag the girl didnt get the other one. I have never heard rude people in my life when ordering. I wont order it again it was not good food. The workers, they need to find some manners. Not good customer service.
Home of the raw pizza.... they legit used the dictionary to call out someone s complaint on here about tacos and the definition...the food is sub par end of story. It s not priced according to what you re getting what so ever. All of their toppings are the cheapest you can buy....
Big portions relatively inexpensive, probably the best donair in Dartmouth.
Best donairs in Dartmouth. Just get the meat well done. You will thank me.
Best Donair in Nova Scotia
BEST donairs ever!!!!
It was awesome best garlic fingers or pizza or any of there food in town
This place has been a favorite since I was old enough to walk. This is one of the last original best pizza joints left.
Awsome fìsh and chips, great service.
Their donair is soo good!! Make sure to bring some extra home!
I love how huge the slices are! Very tasty.
Just grabbed ten pounds of donair meat for travel...thank you Jack
Great food
Worth the wait for the donair, portions are huge!
Served us even though the open sign was off. So kinda. And yummy pizza too
I ordered the 2 Med pizza deal here the other day and it was so delishious i love the dough ball in the middle of my pizza! The dough was delish, the pizza was so hot and fresh and cheesy . Im definitely going to order again.
This place has been here forever. When I was a middle school student, I would come here with my lunch money to play Dig Dug, and the guys I hung around with at the time and I came here after our graduation from said middle school. The owner, Jack, is more often than not on the premises, his wife and a middle-aged lady are often on the cash, and the delivery driver who is in and out rounds out the somewhat motley crew. The food is certainly not gourmet, but surprisingly tasty. I m sure I ve tried just about everything from the menu over the years. Open late, and you can eat next door at Whiskey s as well. All sorts of interesting characters, depending on the day and time.
Huge donairs that had no faults. Love it.
Good pizza and donairs speedy service...
Best slices on Portland
Really good local pizza
Best food and serviçe
We ordered an extra large works pizza with a large garlic fingers through Skip The Dishes. It took over an hour to arrive and was warm, not hot when it did. Pizza was VERY overcooked. Shouldve taken some photos. The top of the crust was black and bottom had a textured burnt/black look. The topping section of the pizza was edible but the crust was far from it.. also, there was 1-2 inches of crust. I prefer to have my toppings brought almost to the edge with maybe 1cm of crust to hold onto. We also ordered garlic fingers which was under cooked in comparison and seemed more like a cheese pizza with no sauce. My wife said she has had pizza from here in the past and it was much better so maybe it was a one off but im disappointed that the store wouldve sent out the pizza in the condition it was in. I wouldve preferred to have it delayed another 10 minutes to be re-cooked.
The best pizza and donairs anywhere! Well that was my review a year ago. Times have changed and so to has Revannas quality in both their service and food. I ordered a large donair with the works last Thursday January 2 with the sauce on the side. I recieved a lukewarm soggy pita wrapped piece of meat covered with I believe cheese and sauce. This week I ordered a large donair with the works and recieved the same thing as the previous week. Jack ,please hire competent employees who know how to correctly take orders over the phone and produce the fine donairs that your establishment was once known for .
Very good food
So much sauce and low quality cheese
They need to honour their coupon vouchers and have people who completely understand what you are ordering off of it.
Great pizza for the price.
Classic... Great pizza
Tried Revanas for the 1st time recently...best pizza in HRM (In My Opinion).
Pizza was nuke warm at best and the garlic fingers were disgusting, soggy and flavorless.
Pizza tastes good. Good job guys!
Decent garlic fingers
We came from Enfield last night to try this restaurant out. They were overwhelmed they were so busy. I had to wait 45 mins and I didnt mind at all. The out come was amazing I have now found my favorite pizza place we will be back . We had pizza garlic fingers donair and wings every thing was DELIGHTFUL. AND IM VERY PICKY
You can do better. Waaaay better. Keep googling.
I want to make love with this slice of pizza. BLESS THE OWNER OF THIS PLACE AND HIS BEAUTIFUL PIZZA also there was a smiley face baked into the cheese and that says everything
Pizza tasted cheap and service could use some work.
Great place for late night snacks, attached to a bar, so you get the odd drunk, whatever I don t mind!
Dont waste your time here! I was a former customer who spent years ordering from them, While their pizzas and garlic fingers are usually fine their customer service has become repulsive. The phone operators are rude, arrogant and mistake orders constantly. Last time I ordered from Revana I had ordered Pizza, Garlic fingers and a Poutine when it arrived an hour late it was missing the Poutine, when I was trying to find out where the missing item was. The employee operating the phones proceeded to yell, cuss at me and insult me and then banned me from the restaurant. Dont bother with this place anymore and if you do dont ever have a complaint.
Just ordered ,two tacos from here and felt like just got pita bread instead not toasted or grilled. Just wrapped with bunch of veggi and meat. It s not even a taco. Takes advertising and gross food.
Called and ask for delivery, the individual who answered the phone was very rude. Better off taking your business elsewhere!
Best donairs around. Could be a little cheaper, but they are large.
Best pizza on Earth. Each size has 87000 calories but it is well worth the coronary artery disease.
Quality never falters and the crew there remembers a regular.
Best donairs in Halifax. Spicy!
Ordered pizza from here tonight for the first time ever and I was so pleased with it! I chose a veggie pizza with the thick spicy sauce and it was the best sauce I ever had. The crust was perfectly cooked too. Will be back soon. :-)
Called for delivery. Told me to skip the dishes. Will skip giving them my business
Pretty average. The sauce had a strange aftertaste, not unpleasant just.... strange. Price was good.
Its not very good.. sauce tastes like a can. Service is not great
Famous in downtown Dartmouth
This place is actually top notch; their sauce is one of the better I ve tasted - because you can actually taste the oregano. I ordered for the first time tonight (on 420!) and thoroughly enjoyed it. I m going to order on another day to make sure the impression I got wasn t due to it being that particular day.
Pizza time
I eat here several times a week as its the best slice in Dartmouth.
Good and consistent.
1st visit, its pretty good , I just prefer my toppings on top of the cheese thats all.
Honestly one of the best places to get a slice. And for ordering its always done fast and perfectly. The thick and spicy sauce is amazing and the staff are incredibly friendly. Always my go to place, especially in Dartmouth
Good food great pizza
Best ever Donairs. We usually take out but not always as you can sit in next door tavern. Dont let the atmosphere let you miss out on the best donairs. I have been eating them well over 30 years.Tried others but love these best.
Its a great place friendly people and always make you laugh
Hands down best pizza and garlic fingers in NS. Fresh homemade dough and sauce. The cheese isnt cheap. This place rocks. You need to sell your pizza sauce in stores its that good. And I was interested in a job there and when I dropped off a resume someone told me they dont hire white boys and asked me to leave. I was wondering what the hell thats about lol? I havent ordered since cuz it was just rude. But I may give Yas another chance considering your food is what matters.
Love there donairs one the best on Halifax
Good food
Awesome donairs
This place is the most fun Ive had at a pizza shop ever. They are so fun and eclectic and the pizza was so tangy and sweet and delicious. I learned Im not a huge donair guy but the garlic fingers and the pizza was fantastic. Thanks so much, I went back to back nights while visiting Halifax/Dartmouth, CHEERS!!
Great portions and tasty!
Legit the best panzerotti Ive had since leaving my hometown Windsor, ON. Bravooooo!
Amazing donairs and pizza and panzerotties!!!!
We loved it
Never again ordered last night .... McDonalds has better fish, it was like eating just batter with a little fish in it. Done never again
open until 3 am ? looks good on paper.
Ordered the other day and was very happy with the taste and quality of the food. Had a large pizza and the cheese, toppings and sauce tasted great. Crust was evenly done and the right thickness. Also had some wings and found them very juicy, not over cooked. They were mild and really solid . Definitely will be ordering again.
Great slices here, always busy
Best pizza & donairs in HRM - hands down!
Twice they hang up said i was too loud got donair pizza no sauce. Called said they would take a dollar off my next order week after med pizza works sent meat pizza not our thing tryed to order tonite mad didnt like the. We tried to order tonite man said didnt like my tone he hung up i called back he told me he would not make my order call somewhete else
Compared to Stone Pizza, Revanas, and Yeah Yeahs, I consider Revanas second out of the bunch. Having a very local feel, Revanas is that quick stop you can always rely on. My pizza was greasy, yet delicious. The bottom crust was perfectly cooked, even during the hurricane. You can tell its a properly cooked pizza when theres just the right amount of burnt crust/dough. Having that balance of bitter and sweet makes a great flavour. Price was reasonable, and atmosphere was adequate. Definitely the place to go if youre looking for some great pizza. 5/5 taste/flavour 4/5 atmosphere 5/5 service
Garlic fingers are outstanding!
the best pizza and hands down best chicken wings Ive had in dartmouth to date. if I wasnt so full right now and satisfied I would order more.great food and great and speedy delivery.cant wait to eat revana pizza again.
Pretty good
The large garden salad is mostly just lettuce and for some reason doesnt come with dressing. Not worth 10 bucks. So that was disappointing but pizza is great here and sraff is always friendly
Love their pizza and donairs
Best pizza and donairs in the city
Great pizza and great prices
Best donairs
Fantastic Donairs. Great food all aroind. 1 of the best places to get a donair.
Great donairs, quick and friendly service
Awesome pizza and donairs!
It s ok pizza ... the dough was fine but sauce was underwhelming . Not horrible but nothing special in my opinion .
Ive been away from Halifax for 12 years and Ive been thinking about donairs from Revana Pizza the whole time. This week I was back in town for a visit and I had too see if Revana was as good as I remembered it. It is! The medium donair is huge and a great value at under 9 bucks. The sauce is sweet on the tongue and just a bit firey on the throat; a perfect combination. The delicious donair meat is piled so high I had to eat a bunch of it first to made the donair small enough to bite into. The proprietors are friendly and energetic and take obvious pride in what they do. I just hope it isnt another 12 years before I am back in Dartmouth.
The best Jerry!
Ordered the works. One of the best tasting pizzas I have ever had.
Best donairs in the Maritimes.
Love it! Tastes great and fantastic staff!
Good day, In regards to the customer service at Revana Pizza, 29 Portland St, Dartmouth. Revana Pizza delivered food to my residence on Portland street 3 times, I called the this pizza place for a 4th time to order 4 lg pizza w/ workers! They asked for my address and told me sorry NO delivery to your address on Portland st? I told the Boy about the past deliveries and then slammed the phone down in my ear before I finished my sentence! REVANNA PIZZA HAS THE MOST IGNORANT EMPLOYEES AND DONT CARE ABOUT RETURNING CUSTOMERS!
Good slice o pie
Friendly but the place is super dirty. We looked on Google and had 4 stars so thought it would be good. We ordered without doing much looking around. Then went to the side with the bar to wait. We sat by a big mirror on the wall and while looking around started to see dirt and dust everywhere. Then we noticed about 1000 fruit flies on the mirror. We quickly moved out of there and back to the pizza side. Then looking around there we seen it was just as dirty. Got our pizza hoping it may be the reason for the 4 stars but nope. After cleaning off our own table we asked for plates and cups for our pop. We got 3 paper plates and dirty styrofoam cups. Then asked for forks and we were able to pick our own because theres a basin on the main counter that people just reach in and pick whatever one they want. I wouldnt even want to see the bottom of that basin. Its probably never been cleaned. This visit was back in late October but cant get it out of my mind now. 1 star for food and 1 star for being friendly but 2 starts are still high for this place.
