The first Alexandra’s was opened by Dimitri Neonakis in 1991 on Queen Street in Halifax. Very quickly loyal customers began s ... preading the word and saying ‘Alexandra’s have the best pizza and poutine in Halifax!” This is where our slogan comes from. A slogan we are very proud to be able to use. “HOME OF THE BEST PIZZA AND POUTINE IN TOWN.” While Alexandra’s initially became known for its poutine and large variety of delicious pizza combinations (especially the fresh hot pizza slices available into the wee hours of the morning), customers soon started to appreciate the extensive selection of other menu items. Garlic fingers, hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, onion rings, fries, Mediterranean treats and of course, the ever growing variety of Famous Poutine options. Alexandra’s Poutine was then voted “BEST IN TOWN” by the readers of The Coast magazine too and its reputation was further confirmed when a guest host on a local radio station lamented the lack of good local poutine. The station was flooded with calls from Alexandra’s devotees expressing their love of the “BEST IN TOWN”. It’s been a top seller ever since and a source of pride for Alexandra’s. Alexandra’s expanded to Cole Harbour, Dartmouth in 2000, quickly becoming the favourite of residents in that area too. Alexandra’s has continued to expand as a franchise with shops throughout Halifax, Dartmouth, Fairview & Clayton Park, Hammonds Plains, Sackville, Spryfield, Sydney, Sydney River, Charlottetown, PEI and more coming soon! All of our franchise owners are local and many have their whole family working with them! Our regulars often tell us how much they like going into the shops because of the family feel. We believe this is just one of the simple joys of choosing a local, community based business. Alexandra’s is definitely not your typical fast-food outlet. Customers of Alexandra’s always enjoy a great homemade food experience, friendly staff and clean surroundings. We hope you’ll try us. read more
