668 Sackville Dr, Lower Sackville, NS B4C 2S5, Canada
You certainly don't get what you pay for these days. I ordered two donairs for a pickup order. Both were very dry, the amount of sauce has definitely been cut back and it's not as thick as it used to be. Also they have shrunk in size, my large would have been a medium a few years ago. I paid abt $31 for a regular and large, taxes, and tip. I don't see the value in this product anymore. I am going to try another local shop.
Absolutely disgusting. No value, poor taste and rude staff. Many other quality pizza places in te area. Best to avoid KOD in sackville.
Absolutely terrible! Very disappointing! Ordered $100 worth of food and could actually see the bottom of the try in the poutine! NEVER AGAIN! Scandalous! 😡
Food always tastes delicious and the best pizza crust that I've ever had. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.
I love the food and service. The crew member Gurkirit was so friendly and the way he treat a customer was really appreciative. It was my first time with KOD and the taste was unbelievable and the employee needs to be promoted as per customer support suggested.
Great people. I ordered a lg Donair pizza and when I asked to have it made the old way with the sauce on the bottom and top they were happy to do it. 10/10 highly recommended 👌
First time going since the “Under New Management” and I’ll NEVER go back. Worst donair I’ve ever had, I’ve had in Ontario that was better. I asked for lightly cooked and 1/2 the pieces were burnt and dry. Also ordered a thin crust pizza, it was far from thin and it was burnt!! This new “team” in Lower Sackville is going to ruin the KOD name.
Amazing Donair. There’s a reason this is the oldest and one of the most popular franchises in Halifax. I was impressed at how much meat was stuffed into the donair sandwich. The sweet white sauce is quite unique. I really liked it. I think more veggies would make it better but I suppose they try to keep it simple with just onions and tomatoes. Donair Egg Rolls were really good too.
Website says closes at 12am. Called en route at 11:39 for a simple cheese pizza. Was told they were closed.
I have NEVER been charged for using debt before. EVER! what do they do it here. Im from here and was so looking forward to an authentic donar, but charging for debt, I will go somewhere else from now on! Food : 5/5
If your gonne have the Donair ....... Bring a bib, its going to be deliciously messy. Food
Really bad service .. not polite
Zero extra large pizza
Always great
Cold pizza when picked up & dry af
Havent been here in 2 years. I was craving a donair, so I ordered one.....well Let me say it was beyond dry and burnt. Will never be back!!!!!
I remember when this place was Really good. That s what brought me back, Came in and the walls were dirty, the door was sticky (on my hand) and the donairs I ordered were bland and the meat just tasted like salt. The person making my donairs spent more time on the phone than even making the donairs I had ordered and they weren t very warm at all. The cheese wasn t even melted on the inside of the donair. I won t be back.
Cold, and we ate in. Save your money and do not come here
This was not a King of anything. The donairs were cold and we were told it s because the sauce is cold. It was very disappointing.
Great value, good food.
this is the first and last time I have ordered from KOD. paying $25 for a pizza I would at least expect if to be fresh... got it home and its ICE cold and and dry as if it had been in the fridge all night... so disappointing
Ive been a fan of KOD for as long as I can remember; but Im tired of being disappointed by the donairs at KOD Sackville. Today I requested a little extra sauce on my donair, just to be sure. Weve all experienced a donair with not enough sauce, and everyone knows its not a donair without the sauce. I personally want to mop it up when I get to the end! What I got was so dry I choked on the dust.. Two stars only because the meat still tasted good. Owners need to understand that the sauce is what makes a donair!
Stopped in for a donair after work and even thou it wasnt busy the Donair meat was dry and over cooked and undersized for what i normally get. This is now second time for this sub par effort.
Waited a long time for a great donair.
All backed up?....need to pinch off a loaf or 2?...come on down & get yourself a greasy donair & by the next morning you will be clear
Sackville Dr. Location. Pizza was completely sub par. I paid for extra cheese. It was as if they went out of their way to put as little cheese as possible on the pizza. I cant imagine what the pizza would have been like if I hadnt paid for extra cheese. Another example of an HRM pizza place that just doesnt care about repeat customers. First and last time............
I am from Ontario and was in Nova Scotia visiting family. I had the donair plate. It was fantastic. The sauce was awesome.
Donair was light on the meat, and expensive compared to others for the serving size.
Good food and very friendly staff
Gonna have to start going to Randy s again for my Donairs. Would be nice if they wouldn t screw up Donairs and running out of meat. Considering that the name is King of Donair
Good pizza.
Great donairs.
I ordered from Doordash. 1 Large donair with no Veggies and a add on of cheese with a root beer. The donair came with no cheese and veggies put on it. Even though I paid extra for the cheese. And I never got my drink!
Worst donair I ve ever had in my 61 years!
Most pathetic donair I have got from KOD, was suppose to be a medium, barely got a small, worst donair I ever had. This was Lower Sackville location Saturday July 8 around 9pm
They could do better when cutting up there veggies for there donairs . Could dice instead of giant pieces of tomato and onion. Pizza was great
Ordered a large donair pizza. Crust was good but next to nothing for toppings. Very disappointed as they used to be good but they ve really cut back on the toppings. Won t be back
We did a mini donair contest/crawl for somebodys birthday and we included this place. They were definitely not the best out of the 4 we did. (alexandras, pizzadelic, mezza and k.o.d.) Their service was unfriendly, they put the least amount of veggies and had less meat than everybody except mezza, and it was cold. Their sauce was better than 2 of them though. Basically the contestants (of just a fun birthday) said out of the 4 they came 3rd. They are not the king of donairs at all. At least not this location.
DO NOT EAT HERE!! We were traveling to Nova Scotia for the first time and were recommended to try a donair. This was the WORST decision we have ever made in our lives, my spouse and I BOTH got sick within 24 hours, from vomit and diarrheas for 5 days after. Not only is the donair is absolutely disgusting, whoever thought that garlic should be sweet with spicy meat? There was zero veggies and we have never felt so horrible in our lives. My spouse ended up losing weight from their sickness while I can only eat bland food. Worst experience. Service was slow, no A/C inside the establishment, and we will NEVER return. DO NOT EAT THE NOVA SCOTIA DONAIR!! You will regret it.
Friday, Aug 18 got 16 Donair Pizza delivered by Skip. Menu says 2 medium Donair sauce, got None! So disappointing. Donair pizza has to have Donair sauce! Ordered extra cheese on my pizza as well as my cheese fingers, thank goodness I did, very little cheese on both :(
Ok. So I have never given l type of rating before, but honestly the worst pizza Ive ever had. You would think KOD (Sackville)would make a great donair pizza. Nope. Crust was dried out as was the donair meat. Tomatoes almost non existent as was the cheese. It was almost as if it was made days ago. I ate one piece and the rest went in the garbage. Sorry but please do better. $32.00 is a lot to pay for an inedible pizza.
Refused to deliver a $400 order on a Saturday night with a $100 tip. Lol guess the new management doesnt like to make money .. smh
Next to no sauce on the donairs. My wife had the works.... 3 pieces of onion and 4 pieces of tomato!!! I have never been able to pick up the pita without getting sauce on my hands at any other donair shop........ this night, I didnt even need to wash my hands afterwards. I was completely disappointed. And if I could have weighed them..... I dont think 2 regulars weighed as much as 1 regular anywhere else!!!
Excellent work
had great experience .... Pizza was very tasty ,, well cooked ... Service was great ... highly recommends.....
Just one disappointment after the other since the staff and management change. If I could give less then 1 star I would ... just found a hair baked into the bottom of the crust. Absolutely disgusting.
You cant do Halifax with out trying a Donair. And these guy make a great one.
Staff from years back were better. Too bad management doesnt treat people fairly and like human beings.
Tried the pizza and doniar from this place for the 1st time. Food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommended
This location has very cool decor, fun and friendly service as well as EXCELLENT food. Highly recommend!!
Sloooooowlyyyy
They don t have debit machines that take tap so now I can t feed my toddler tonight thanks so much.
Donair is not fit. Wouldnt give this to my dog. worst donair I ever had in my life. when someone tells you for your meat to be well done, you expect for it to be done that way. waste of money
King of the worst donair ever. Not enough sauce for half a donar,a little bit of shredded cheese,and chunky onions. Disgusting!
Had the Big M donair .It was fantastic.
The King has the best Donair in town, hands up. Grab an extra bottle of Donair sauce and really slop it on there for the full experience. Add Chris Brothers pepperoni to mix it up, but if its your first time go with the Kings original vision with onions and tomatoes.
I love KOD it has been around for years and years.. you cant beat their price and taste. Truly a piece of Scotias History
Very good donairs..
Ordered a large donair maybe got a medium. Barely any cheese on it and it was extra salty. Not to mention waited 2 hours to get it on SkipTheDishes. I had high hopes for this place. Very disappointed
For Friday night my Donaire should not be sober black and I cant even eat it let alone they dont even give you enough sauce to cover half of the Donair I ordered this for doordash and they contacted the store this is my fourth time attempting to go to the Sackville King of Donair I will never waste my time money for energy on this place again it is completely black Donaire for a Friday night you think it would be fresh and ready to go I have never had Joan are so blessed in my life you are not the King of Donair at all
This popped up on my feed and I realized that I forgot to leave my review. Back in April it was my best friends birthday, and I gave him a choice of where he wanted to go for food. He chose KOD in Lower Sackville as he enjoys the KOD donair sub, so this is where we went. Honestly the food was okay, but the way he was treated there was totally unacceptable and the reason I will never purchase food from there again, so this is the reason behind my rating of 1 star because of their demeanor and how they treated my friend. We both drove there in our own cars and I parked towards the opposite side of the parking lot because I always park away from other vehicles. My friend parked in front of KOD. There were no signs posted at that time (not sure now since I have never been back) stating this parking spot was for staff or delivery which should mean it is an available spot to park. After we ate we were going to go for a coffee down the street at Tims so I drove away to meet him there. I sat and waited for quite some time. Maybe 10-15 minutes or longer waiting for him. When he finally arrived he told me that one of the staff members pulled up behind him and blocked him in. He asked if they could move so he could get out and from my understanding the staff became confrontational saying how he wasnt supposed to be parked there which turned into an argument. To be fair, I was not present for this, but he had no reason to lie to me and the fact that there was no signage posted I still cant understand why it was an issue. At any rate if this is how they treat their paying customers, I certainly will not be going there again.
Good avg Pizza, great service.
Had a donair. Very tasty. Fast service with great staff.
I love the friendly service from all the hard workers. Great tasting food but, my favorite is the pizza. The donairs have gone down hill. Too much salt... even if I am too drunk to care it makes me feel sick. I switch to pizza.
Awesome Donairs, and huge portions!
Bought my first donair at KOD Dartmouth around 1984! Bought my last item from KOD Sackville yesterday! NEVER AGAIN! Food was good, thus the 2 stars. Danny in the other hand is a horrible horrible customer service person so with the abundance of other restaurants around, I will now choose one of them! One day they will reAlize it is about the overall experience, not just the taste. But for me it is too late! Buh-bye!!
Pizza was delicious, decent amont of topppings spread over the pizza, service was quick. No complaints Parking: Small parking lot
Never had this Donair before but it was very taste.
Quality has dropped since last time I eat here about a year ago! Meat is greaser and not as tasty! However, they re still good!
This was the worst donair I have ever had. Onions weren t even cut up. Tomatoes were half rotten. No donair sauce I would never order there again
Extremely great food. KOD is place to go if you are hungry.
Was pretty good, wings not bad.
Its ok. Used to buy straight donair meat from them, but theyre now ~$6 more per pound than any other pizza place. Cant justify that.
I ordered 2 medium 3 topping pizzas from the sackville location. Not only did it cost $39! But when I got home each pizza had only 2 toppings ( both pizzas were missing green peppers). Not only am I disappointed with the price but the missing toppings.
Always fabulous
Liked it.
Awesome food, awesome staff.
Great thing about KOD is consistency. We always get what your expecting. Been ordering from them for 21 years and will continue to order in the future. One of my go to spots for poutine as all well as donair.
Great donair. They made it just right. Meat was not over cooked and the right amount of sauce. Yummy!
Parking: Very small lot and over congested parking
Every time I am in town First stop on my list. So yummy! And friendly staff.
Amazing Customer Service
Got some attitude from one of the counter staff, but the pizza was good.
I dont know if its just this location, if not KoD is sliding
Had a donair tonight from the Lower Sackville store and it was the worst! First off it was cold. The meat was dry and looked like it was probably left over from last night. The sauce was sub-standard and was not as sweet as it should have been. I hadnt gotten a donair from them in about 30 years and always remembered that they used to be untouchable by any of their competitors. That is no longer the case. You only get my money once. To the reviewers bragging this place up, you should take a drive up to Haddads in Middle Sackville and see what a real donair tastes like. Colossal FAIL!!!!
Great donairs
The food was cold upon picking it up the order was wrong and the staff were rude on the phone when we inquired about the mistake and hung up on us. The staff seemed more concerned over how their recently acquired tips were to be divided up than serving the costumers
The food was good years ago but now its just cardboard crust. Not much sauce,barley any toppings and rude employees. The waiting area looks dirty and I imagine the back is no different.Never go there again. Jessies Pizza is 10 times better and friendly staff.
Have ordered from here twice and will never order again. First time they got the order wrong and forgot a part of it. I gave them another chance, and they got the order wrong again by adding on ingredients we didnt order - the quality of the pizza was, honestly, very gross. A frozen pizza from the store is much better (and way less overpriced) then here.
Awesome food!!! Excellent service !!
Sadly it was not as good as I remember it a medium donair was more like a small from anybody else even the taste wasnt up to snuff
Asked for contact less delivery. There drivers dont do it. He delivers the order. Not even wearing a mask and didnt have the right drinks with him. Not a good experience.
Never will order from them again ordered supreme size seen bigger mediums then fryed to charge 40c to use debit machine total RIP off place
Had 2 donairs and garlic fingers. So impressed. The young lady was super nice and did a amazing job. I told her this was a test. Haha. Certainly well be back.
Good pizza quick service
The Meat was so dried out, it was disgusting, the Sauce was so thick it looked like Butter that was left in the Fridge.
Wow wow wow...donair omg Got to have it
This review I was torn to write as this place was my place to go for donair in Sackville, but after ordering some this weekend I was very dissatisfied with the change of their donair sauce it tastes cheap and ruined the experience that I have always enjoyed at KOD. I will unfortunately no longer come here unless the sauce returns. This review is for donair and not pizza as I havent had one in a while from here.
Great pizza
When we went into store 4 months ago amazing service they were great to myself and my daughter fast great pizza. We would normally order pizza from there for delivery and once a week or so it was our go-to place fast reliable good food great service. About 2 weeks ago my son ordered a pizza. It was on speakerphone I heard it all . My son doesnt normally order but he did everything he was supposed to do said what he was supposed to say and the pizza never showed up an hour and a half later I called just to get an ETA cuz that wasnt normal delivery time and you know start to wonder something happened to her order. Not sure if I spoke to an owner or a manager and older man though who took my call was extremely rude when I was very polite and just was wondering if there is an issue with our order just cuz we hadnt received it yet and I was just wondering he snapped at me told me that they thought it was for pickup because my son didnt give the address I explained I heard that he gave the address but regardless its not pick up you know we still wanted to have our pizza delivered if that was okay he said hell be there in 5 minutes so rude to me told me that he absolutely did not give the address and kind of shrug me off and hung up. When the driver showed up I asked him you know if there was issues like I heard the call my son gave the address but either way the person on the phone was very rude like I was not rude I wasnt upset I was just trying to find out what under a pizza he was so rude and disrespectful and snapped at me like as if it was his order that got messed up like as if it cost him money. The driver kind of uncomfortable with the question I could tell just was like I think hes having a bad day who knows I think he was being kind and polite. The delivery service usually fast they can deliver guys great I tipped him. Bottom line I will never order from there again they sent me the pizza that was in the warmer for an hour and a half it was very dry and it tasted like a week old really hard it was gross I think the kids ate some but the rest of it either went to the dog or the garbage. Had he not been such a jerk or if his approach were better then they would not have lost a lifetime customer. Worst customer service that night. Infact so bad I will never order there or even eat their food ever again.
Theyve really gone downhill they charge you $0.40 to use the Interac machine on the size of the donaires are very small and the tomatoes are usually not that good
Great food
Donair pizza was all bits and discussing.
I had the best donair of my life from this location!!! Delicious!!!
Same as always GREAT
They have a guy there now who makes the best crust.
Donairs were smaller then expected and pizza was ok
So I was just talking to a gentleman at the store who said that they do not deliver to Bedford although I had a delivery come to Bedford two nights ago. So I m not sure if he s just making up his own rules because he doesn t want to, an extra five minutes out of his way or not. But unfortunately it ll be my last order that I ever place with this company. He was quite rude on the phone and Dismissed me and couldn t wait to get me off the phone. I hope that the company knows what kind of employees they have working for them, and take their customers input seriously because there are a lot of other restaurants that I can be ordering from from now on
Had Donair burger for burger week...it was fantastic!
They have the best donairs and donair pizza! A+
KOD - Donairs.. nuff said.. 5 stars..
Customer service was excellent, they were so friendly. Donair was on the smaller side but they were great for how busy they were.
2- 1/2 hrs on a donair and a donair poutine in sackville is ridiculous
Ordered a Donair with cheese no tomatoes. Donair showed up with no sauce. Called to advise guy answers say yes it does. This is my 10,000 or so Donair and you are arguing about if I have sauce. Never again.
Cheap pizza if thats what youre after but Id only give it a 5/10. If you want cheese on every piece this isnt the place to go. Staff wasnt very friendly on multiple occasions and they charge you extra if you dont pay in cash...its 2020....stop nickle and diming customers to make an extra buck on the already sub par pizza. Also, be sure to train the staff on how to properly round to the nearest nickle rather than always rounding up.
The BEST donairs in Halifax area. Always hit the spot and are an authentic donair. Even my Dutch fiance loved it and he had never heard of a donair.
Great tasting donairs , clean and friendly
Went for the first and last time..we went in and ordered and took it home (5minute drive) I had a deep fried donair panzzarotti and my husband had a donair both were cold andy my donair meat tasted like fish..a major disappoint for all the hype
King of Donair. Love the food.
I love King of Donair they have great pizza very friendly staff and amazing donairs
Im lactose intolerant, the staff are very nice and always accommodating me. I always bring my own cheese, wish they would get lactose cheese, there are a lot of lactose people, i think it would be beneficial for them.
This is a four only because the donair meat around the sides of the plate was slightly burnt. But ya cant make donair poutine without burning it a little, right? Nothing wrong with service or food. Good place to go get some.
I just went to KOD. All people or Asian be careful Just want to be nice and said morning how s going ? To the guy And he not respond to you anything. He was not even want look at you. And with angry face . 1. Service ? They don t have 2. Probably the owner is Racial discrimination(not sure the guy is owner or employee . Anyway who cares . ) Never return
We had delicious donairs! I highly recommend trying them!
Love everything!!
Ok. Charge to use debit!!!!
I like their sauce
Great deals
Ive been a customer of King of Donair Lower Sackville for many many years. All these negative reviews seem like someone paid people to write them! Has always been excellent since at least 1994 to my recognition. All you haters go eat some pizza hut
Great service!
It was great
Great donairs
Used to be my favorite pizza place in Sackville but I ordered there 2 in the last month and its taste so gross now. The sauce is different and so is the dough... Must be new owners or something. Or they lost the love and cheaper out on ingredients cause of the pandemic. Lost my business because of it sorry
Staff has a bad attitude. Dont dare ask a simple question. Dude behind making the pizzas is a D head
Great service tastes yummy
The 10.99 pickup special is a great deal! Great pizza, I would recommend at this price you cant go wrong.
Covid friendly, Daily deals
You pay to use debit machine. Poor management move. I don t do that.
Worst place ever dont ever order online you will get old by the time it gets to you! It took them over an hour to drive less that 1 block and deliver 2 donairs ! What an epic fail .... everytime I order from them I regret it and then I think let me support local small businesses and this makes all other small pizza shops look horrible ....DONT ORDER FROM HERE EVER !!! And the driver has attitude for days
Really gone down hill. Must be new owners. I had a medium donair with the works. Might have been 5 pieces of tomato and very little sauce. I havent been there in years, but used to go there a lot. Big disappointment.
#KingofDemolition
Owners demolished a registered heritage building. The Reid house was close to 300 years old and was apart of Nova Scotias history. Nanco Development could not get legally approved to tear down but destroyed it anyway. I will not support such disrespect
We enjoy their menu , i find most of the staff friendly , helpful and pleasant to deal with , i have found that You can find a place that has great food but if the staff arent friendly or pleasant i personally wont continue to give them my business. Its important that the customer feel welcome , not like the business could careless if they get Your business or not . I would hope im not the only one that feels this way.
Best in the country
Best Donairs ever.
Sooo good! I had the king donair, so much meat I took some home. The Halifax sauce is the best!
Donair with sauce on the side, hands down the best sandwich ever!
Best slice and a pop in hrm,staff are nice,polite clean working environment. Great food,also the first to serve donair which is awesome not too spicy...love it.
Good place to get some Donair slice bite, the owners is a nice and responsible guy.
Fast service,great pizza!
Pretty gross. Ordered a large Donaire with cheese.. opened it up grease the meat looked old and dry. Took two bites threw the rest out. stomach hurts been hurting and have to run to bathroom. Wont be ordering from them again they should change the name .
Best Donairs
Still make a mean donair!
Their food is not very good, they dont listen when asked to double cook your pizza, the guy looked stunned when asked. My brother-in-law started KD, and he would be turning in his grave at the way its been run.
The best donairs
Good Donaire meat. Pick up a large pizza for 10+tax.
