Best pizza place in Halifax
Hey, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a great place to get pizza in Halifax. I'm not a big fan of the "thin crust" pizzas though (my fav. franchise is Pizza Hut, I'm a dough girl :P LoL
I'm new to the area and there are TONS of places to choose from! Any input greatly appreciated, Thanks :)
Well, IMO, Salvatore's has the best pizza in town, but I think it would fall into your thin crust category. Thomasino's in the south end has "gore-may" pizza with a thicker crust.
For more regular ol' pizza, I think the student favourite is Alexandra's, but I can't say that I've ever tried them.
I also tend to be a fan of Salvatore's...its not as thin a crust as, say Morris East which I think is great but bears no resemblance to Pizza Hut. In the olden days a thick crust pizza was called 'deep-dish Sicilian' but now I think of it as more a Greek-style pizza, hence the student love affair with Alexandra's.
I can't comment on most places, as i don't live there, but when i'm at the Sunnyside mall in Bedford, I gravitate towards The Wedge (or is it On The Wedge??). I love their Moon Pie pizza. And i'm a thick-crust lover too.
re: krisie
I love thick-crusts too, but the toppings and freshness of Salvatore's (north end in the Hydrostone Market) has won me over. The crust is thick enough for me, and it's crispy yet not greasy, which is perfection... I don't know how they do it!
re: krisie
After living in the neighborhood for 15 years I still crave Peter's from time to time. The pizza of my past... just love it, especially from the fridge the next morning. I now make a special trip over once a year and get one to take away as a special treat.
I sometimes feel like I'm the only person in the city that prefers Tomavinos (formerly Tomasinos) to Salvatores. But, like you, I prefer doughy crusts to thin ones. When I have my say on pizza ordering nights - it's definitely Tomavinos. They are closest to the quality of ingredients that you get with Salvatores, but with the kind of crust I prefer.
When I was a student and looking for cheaper pizza, Alexandra's was definitely my spot. It's been a few years since I ordered from them, but they might be a good bet too.
I don't know why Alexandra's is so popular I think they are somewhere between awful and o.k. Their donairs are good though. Here's my advice whatever you do don't go to uncle buck's. It doesn't even smell good when you go in.
My husband and I have completely given up on finding good pizza in Halifax where we now live. After years of living in Montreal where you can find fabulous pizza everywhere, after years of living in Ottawa where you can find the odd good pizza (otherwise we would just drive two hours to Mtl and enjoy fabulous everything!) Halifax is a wasteland for pizza. We now make our own pizza's with quality ingredients and lots of flavour (I am considered a very good cook in our social circle) which is fine but not necessarily something we want to do on a Friday night nor do we have a pizza oven! In a crunch we find Venus Pizza and Shwarma on Barrington acceptable as well as Mumford Pizza. We add flavoured oil and pizza herbs once we get the pizza home to kick things up a bit. We no longer take recommendations from Haligonian's who have never lived elsewhere (yes, we have tried all the usual places - Morris East, Freeman's (the worst pizza yet!) Salvatores, Tommaso's - they do not cut in our world of pizza) because they only have local pizza to compare to for the most part. And what is with BBQ chicken pizza in this town, it is revolting - BBQ sauce and cooked chicken - save this for Swiss Chalet people! "Locally" we head to Lunenburg for very good pizza at the Salt Shaker Deli (also try their toasted bun tarragon mayo lobster sandwich - to die for!) or Trattoria della Nonna for gourmet pizza. All I can say is good luck with your pizza search. Depending where you are from, you may find the pizzas here good....or not.
re: HFXFoodie
You think getting good pizza in Halifax is bad, you should try living in Dartmouth. I used to be able to drive to the South End and get a pizza from Tomavino's but since the fire there they only have the Bedford location and that's just too far.
I know you said you've tried all the usual Halifax recommendations but I'm curious if you've tried Tomavino's and where it rates on your scale.
Also, anyone heard and rumours on when the south end Tomavino's might be reopening?
re: parleek
Parleek, we tried the Bedford location and found it lacked flavour and did not try the south end location before the fire. I have not heard if that location has reopened elsewhere. We plan on giving Ristorante eMano (Bishop's Landing) another try because we do like the location and atmosphere - we will try fine tune our order next time.
I have to say I did like the few slices of pizza from On The Wedge Pizza in the Sunnyside Mall - just outside of Pete's.
Good luck on your search!
re: HFXFoodie
Thanks for your searching wishes!
I just thought I'd mention as well that Tomavino's has reopened in the South End in it's old location. I've had two pizzas in the last three weeks and am happy to have them back.
re: parleek
Parleek, thanks for sharing you Tomavino's recommendations! I will try that location out in the near future. Are there any specific ingredient combination better than others you have tried?
re: HFXFoodie
From the sounds of your post below, I'm starting to fear you'll never find pizza in Halifax :)
As for combos at Tomovino's - I tend to stick to their Tomovino's Combo or the Ambrosia. I think I've had the Con Carne before as well, but you really have to be committed to meat consumption if you're going for that one.
I had another pizza this week -- and I have to say, it was below their regular standard. Still good, but I wouldn't wanted it to have been the one I staked my good pizza claim on.
re: HFXFoodie
. . . perhaps you would be happier back in Montreal?
re: LucLeFou
Uh, no. Because HFXFoodie had only rude things to say about Haligonians and their pizza. So, I was saying, "See ya, snob."
re: HFXNS
Well, I found this quite odd - "After years of living in Montreal where you can find fabulous pizza everywhere", because if you spend any time in Montreal, or just reading the Mtl/QC Chow board, the general consensus is that pizza in Montreal is crap, with an ongoing debate about one place (Bottega).
re: FoodNovice
FoodNovice, I see from your profile you are in Montreal. Yes, I have read through the ongoing pizza debate on the Mtl/QC Chow board, very interesting, however I do not agree that the comments found on this board conclude 'the general consensus about pizza in Montreal is crap'. I see alot of passionate discussion from contributors debating who makes the best pizza in Montreal and many recommendations for very good pizza as well. As you know there are probably hundred's of pizza places in Montreal, some are duds, some are outstanding and many offer very good pizza. The definition of 'the best' pizza is a controversial topic which would come down to a majority of people in agreement of their pizza preferences does it not? I've enjoyed beautiful pizza in Italy but have also found equally great in Montreal. I've also had fabulous North American style pizza in Montreal, and have eaten my share of duds as well.
However, all of this has nothing to do with my comments about the choice of pizza available in Halifax which is why I placed my comment on the Atlantic Canada Chow board and not on the Mtl/QC Chow board. You could be in a position to question my comments about Halifax pizza compared to Mtl pizza, if, you are from Halifax or have lived here.
On another note, I agree with your profile – Top favourite restaurants – Brunoise (RIP). It was a fabulous location... if I am allowed my opinion.
re: HFXFoodie
I lived in Montreal for 20 years, and while there are some great pizza places, many are worse than here in Halifax (the ubiquitous pizza slice places in Montreal are awful - come on, admit it!). Montreal is a wonderful food city, probably the best ever for us folk on a normal budget, but I don't recall any pizza place in Montreal that could come close to the wonder of a slice Salvatore's original - which is for me, the best pizza I have had anywhere.
Revana on Portland Street in Dartmouth is really good. Doughy crust, nice&thick, but never soggy the way some thick crust pizza can be. Generous toppings&fast delivery too!
I have to disagree with all of the suggestion for Tomavino's; I find their sauce quite bland, but I've only been once, so maybe it was an off day.
I LOVE the Moon Pie from On the Wedge in Bedford, but for a "regular" pizza, I'm a huge fan of Martha's by the Sobey's in Bedford. Amazing stuff!!
re: CanadaGirl
The very best pizza we had when we lived in the South End was Peter's. The "special" when we were broke and the "original" the rest of the time.
How terrible to live in a city and believe that your only resource for good pizza is in Mtl....I hope you get to visit there often. After reading the choices of your pseudo passable pies I am not sure I can trust your tastes though.
re: tangible
Other than On the Wedge in Bedford, and the places mentioned in Lunenburg (good excuse to drive down the South Shore!), the other places we found somewhat acceptable no longer cut it,so I agree they are not good choices as well. We were feeling desperate at the time we found them acceptable, no longer. The search continues though I will try Parleek's South End Tomavino's pie place of choice.
re: HFXFoodie
I am born and raised in Montreal and moved to the South Shore area only last year. I have to agree with HFXFoodie, the pizza here is absolutely terrible and, for what you get, expensive. I have tried four or five places and the best pizza I have found so far was made at my local Save Easy!! My uncles owned pizza places in the Montreal area, so growing up I used to get pizza for free. Wow! How I miss those days. Things have changed there now and a lot of the old mom and pop places have closed. What has replaced them is usually not so good but you can still find some decent pizza if you know where to go. I need to try out On the Wedge next time I am up in Bedford. Cheers!
re: exmtler
Hey EXMTLER, thanks for your support and echoing my Halifax pizza frustrations. I guess expecting excellent quality ingredients is asking too much - homemade pizza dough instead of prepackaged dough, homemade flavourful sauce instead of poor quality canned sauce, excellent quality pepperoni instead of No Name mystery meat, real Italian sausage instead of rabbit pellets, a mixture of Italian cheeses, which by the way, does not include cheddar cheese, to name a few ingredients I expect on a pizza. I am just looking for a good quality pick up on a Friday night and enjoy at home, with a bottle of wine kinda pie at this point. For gourmet pizza I will continue to drive to Lunenburg and enjoy pizza at the Salt Shaker Deli or Trattoria della Nonna.
I am curious about Dimitri's on Lady Hammond, Bramasole's on Quinpool, and a place I heard of on St. Margaret's Bay Rd - someting like Europea or Euro Pizza.
Please let me know if you find something worth trying out there!
re: HFXFoodie
Euro Pizza is so-so. But, if you're going there--get their chicken dinner (amazing tzatziki...so garlicy!) !!! SO GOOD and very cheap!
re: Marls05
Thanks for the heads up on Euro Pizza, I will stick with your yummy sounding chicken dinner recommendation - love that comb as well.
re: HFXFoodie
This whole discussion I find depressing, because I moved from Halifax to Calgary a couple years ago, and the pizza situation is even more dire here! I keep telling people how much better the pizza is in Halifax... but I must be missing something!
Bramoso's pizza on Quinpool was my favorite, even though it is basically Nick 'n' Willy's (a chain) pizza under a different name. The ingredients taste fresh and I enjoyed the selection.
Freeman's is terrible. Dimitri's is no big deal.
Other pizza places I enjoyed were Metro Pizza on Lady Hammond, Plaza Pizza on what used to be called Market St., Island Greek on Gottigen, and of course, Salvetore and Tomavino's. There is nothing in the style of real Italian pizza in Halifax from what I know. But there are a ton of places that use local Brother's pepperoni on their pizzas... which is a world away from "No Name mystery meat" ... although I agree, the meats on, say, a Grecco pizza are very unappetizing.
Then again, I enjoy all kinds of different pies. I used to live in Lunenburg and worked at Big Red's pizza, and well, you love it or you hate it. But it's unlike any other pizza I've ever had and it has a special place in my heart. The sauce is sweet and spicy, you can't pick it up and eat it, and it features hotdogs (yes, hotdogs!) and REAL chunks of hamburger and bacon. I can also contest that the dough is home-made. Over-priced? Yes. Lunenburg waterfront = tourist haven.

re: existential_crisis
Have you tried Famoso in Calgary? We just moved from Alberta to Halifax, and the one thing I miss the most is our pizza nights at Famoso...definitely worth a try (for the record, I haven't eaten at their Calgary location, but the Edm location on Jasper is amazing!!)
re: Centralcan
I just tried there recently, actually, and it was yummy, though a bit soggy. When I'm craving pizza usually I'm craving the delivery kind. btw a new place opened called Without Papers in Inglewood and it looks very promising for thin crust! Also, I have adapted to the Calgary Greek pan style of pizza and my top pick is Spiros. But yeah... there is nothing in Halifax like Famoso, to my knowledge.
re: existential_crisis
Aside from The Place and Nicks....try Smileys in Strathmore if you want to go for a drive.
Have you tried Plaza Pizza? It's near Scotia Square. I haven't personally had it (I too gave up Halifax pizza...) but I have friends who love it. Mind you I'm not from far away (Pictou County) but living there made me a pizza snob! It's not for everyone, but personally, I love PC pizza-and I heard that Plaza is similar.
re: Marls05
I've never been inside of Scotia Square and recently heard I am not missing any shopping experience because of it - may have to venture in for a noon time slice test. I was in Pictou County a few weekends ago - enjoying a B&B stay over and enjoying an incredible lobster dinner picnic at Caribou Beach - what a perfect experience that was. Any places in particular you would recommend for in pizza in P.C.?
Are we really pizza snobs if we expect good quality and good taste in pizza, I think not!
re: HFXFoodie
I was just in Halifax last week and Scotia Sq. was definitely not a shopping mecca. i was a little disappointed with the much touted donairs too. Okay one from Tony's, friend said his King of Donair was dry as a bone. Nothing beats Berlin in my travels.
HFXFoodie, I feel your pain! I agree with what you said. Growing up with uncles who actually had these places, I remember actually helping them prepare dough. He had industrial size mixers in the basement and would make the dough then let them rise in pans on shelving, then place them in the freezer, etc. The sauces were made on huge pots with all kinds of ingredients added and the sauce was actually cooked. The pepperoni was bought from local suppliers who competed for the pizza place business. To find this kind of love in pizza is rare, even in Montreal these days but it seems it was never understood and appreciated in Halifax. Thanks everyone for your suggestions and I look forward to learning more from you all and hopefully sharing with you whatever I find. As for pizza, I am obviously very spoiled. Have a great weekend! Cheers!
re: exmtler
OMG EXMTLER, you make me want to cry (and drool!) with your description of days gone by pizza experiences you had growing up! How fortunate you were to enjoy such childhood memories. Hubby and I were planning on heading to Mtl Thanksgiving weekend (plans fell through) - no turkey dinners for us as we planned on indulging in wonderful pizza - Amelios, Woodlands, Pizza La Tour (NDG- but no longer open), La Giaconda, a place in the Jean Talon Marche, Pins Pizza, to name a few of our old favs.
I will watch for recommendations on this board and give Halifax pizza one more try.
Hope you are enjoyng life out there in the beautiful South Shore - have your tried pizza at the Salt Shaker Deli or Trattoria della Nonna in Lunenburg - very good!
re: HFXFoodie
With all the recent discussion about pizza, I decided to try out a few places in good faith. Well, I just got back after a very unsuccessful search for pizza on a Sunday afternoon. Lesson learned, do not expect pizza on Sundays for lunch - checked out five places - Pizza eMano, Vinny's (open in the evenings only), Tomavinos (Southend - sorry Parleek I did try!), Dimitris, Euro Pizza - all closed on Sundays so I gave up the search. There you have it!
re: HFXFoodie
re: BILLBRASKY
I agree, I was not impressed with Morris East pizza as well.
I gave Pizza eMano another try several weeks ago and I have to admit they have improved so we will stick with this location for the next while. It is pricey but we feel it is worth it after wasting money on so many duds! We also enjoy the high level vibe in there on a Friday night when we have dropped in to pick up our phone order. We add extra sauce (very tasty I may add!). Maybe we have been here long enough we are becoming one of the HRM pizza borgs (doubt it!). Let's keep up the search!

re: BILLBRASKY
AS I was reading this, I was wondering about Salvatore's. It has been 10 years since I have lived in Halifax, but have had it on occasion when staying there. It was always great!
It may be because it has been a while, and things become vivid in your imagination as time passes, but I remember the pizza from there as being wonderful. But I've never lived in Montreal....
re: troutpoint
HFXFoodie - I've enjoyed following your quest for great pizza in Halifax. I am very disconcerted by certain childish responses from others and hope you pay no attention to them. The pizza situation here is dismal and I hope you give the restaurants you visit feedback. Raising standards in this town can be painfully slow though we have made great headway in the last 10 years in certain sectors of gastronomy . Could it be that pizza is shunned by better restaurants and perceived as college student fare.
Travel makes the long cravings bearable. Good luck, keep up the pursuit and raise a little hell.
re: chilibeanpaste
Hey Chilibeanpaste! Great to have support in the pizza quest and all things food related, your inputs are greatly appreciated as well. I believe you have a raised a strong point that pizza here may be looked at as college fare, something to scoff down while in an alcoholic haze - that has to be the only way a BBQ sauce and chicken pizza could be consumed! I spent yesterday wandering around Lunenburg trying to capture the spirit of the season - NOT found in Bayer's Lake Insanity. The drive was worth it and so was the wonderful pizza at the Salt Shaker Deli, which, take note was their last day open for the season (reopening in late January) so don't jump in the car any time soon and head to Lunenburg hoping to try their pizza anytime soon. There are so many food related things I have given up on in this city. The potential is there with respect to sooooo many quality if life issues in Halifax but, alas, 'those in charge' are just too near sighted to see the opportunities. I could unleash venom related to the insane cost of living in NS and the myopic vision one encounters as well, but the pizza forum is not the place for it. Will have to find another outlet to rant, and saying that, I am off to the Seaport Market forum to see what hornets nest I can kick there!
re: HFXFoodie
"I am off to the Seaport Market forum to see what hornets nest I can kick there!"
We await a report on your sting.
I really like Salvatores, but my experience with their pizza is minimal, I must admit, as they also have unbelievable oven subs made on fresh bread they bake in store. (they sell the bread too, grab one!) My fave is the ham hero, real baked ham, sauteed, almost burnt onions and mushrooms, garlic mayo, and provolone cheese, all baked in a delicious crusty roll. Probably the best thing I have eaten in the city. I have recently gotten interested in authentic pizza and plan on grabbing a margherita there tomorrow, though.
Peters original style is awesome too, tasty dough and sauce and lots of quality ingredients,
it is hard to beat. Not much else really floats my boat for pizza in the city though.
re: Polar Man
Have you tried Morris East yet? I have heard it is divine. Bramoso on Quinpool is my personal favourite so far since moving here... eat in though; don't get delivery - it's horrible and cold, but when you dine-in the experience is amazing - fresh pizza from the wood-burning oven *heaven* !!
Morris East
5212 Morris St, Halifax, NS B3J, CA
HFXFoodie: next time you come down to Lunenburg, do try the pizza at Trattoria della Nonna. It is more formal than Salt Shaker Deli (the atmosphere, not the pizza!). But it is very good, thin crust pizza. Their calamari are also excellent. Most winters the owners go to spend a month in Italy to add to their knowledge of regional dishes there, so they can come back to adapt them for local ingredients.
re: LJS
Hi LJS: I love the pizza from Trattoria della Nonna and in fact did mention this location for excellent pizza months ago - August I believe. This threat has been running for awhile so that recommendation has been buried! In fact, I love the food and dining experience at Nonna's, one of my very few fav restaurants in the Halifax area. Thanks for recommending Nonna again for fab pizza!
re: HFXFoodie
Oh do I feel your pain.....I have tried to find good pizza for 4 years now, and the best I have come by is the take home from Sobeys. (Although it needs a bit of doctoring) Pizza pans seem to be non existent in this province which is part of the problem.
I will be heading to Lunenburg shortly. Don't bother coming up the corridor...there's none here either.
To the guy in Calgary: "The Place" in Bowness, or Nick's on Banff Trail and Crowchild have the best IMO. Unless you're looking for Halifax style pizza....if so, go to Safeway and buy a cheap frozen one.
Oh, and Foodie, I'm with you on the cost of living. Funny how everyone out west thinks it's cheap to live here. A good forum to vent on that is thecoast.ca "Love the way we bitch"
re: nsturfguy
NSTURFGUY - I'm finally replying. I was in the hospital for the past five months receiving chemo after a sudden lymphoma diagnosis in early March. Thankfully I am now in full remission and craving good food which I certainly did not have while in the hospital!
Still can't handle eating pizza though I know I am not missing much while in Halifax. Great to know I will be moving to Montreal next spring so, if necessary, I will just wait until then to enjoy pizza once again and save my money here.
Yes, I don't know why there is this dillusion 'out there' about the east coast being a cheap place to live. I have lived in Ontario, Quebec and NS, and this province has the highest cost of living except for housing (off the peninsula that is) - but that is quickly catching up to the rest of Canada. I will definitely check out the forum you recommended. And now this city is talking about building a stadium - watch out people, if this stupid decision is actually passed, our property taxes will go through the stadium roof. However, I digress!
Happy pizza searching everyone!
re: HFXFoodie
Sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I know Chemo is brutal, but glad you're ok. I am also headed back west. I took a vehicle out there in June and stopped just outside Calgary at one of my favourite spots. I told the owner I just drove 3000 miles for his pizza and he loaded a couple up for me......I wish I could get them mailed out.....sigh.
Love the comment about the stadium.....might get a soccer franchise.....lol
re: nsturfguy
Glad to hear you're on the mend HFXFoodie.
Just a note on Bramosa on Quinpool, their pizzas have taken as definite nose-dive since the name change and the descent is accelerating. The pizzas were a refreshing change when Nick's first opened but not by any means supreme.
This city will approve anything stupid.
re: HFXFoodie
Have you had pizza girls formerly appetizers on Portand ST home made secret recipie light really in my opinion to die for i have had Montreal Pizza but it is a mom and pop operation that the girls took over
re: nsturfguy
Its funny how subjective this all is... I had a pizza at Nicks and it was one of the most disappointing pizzas I have had in my life. And despite the fact that I have grown to enjoy Calgary thick style pizza, I do not think it is necessarily superior to Halifax style. Also, the thin crust joints are often nothing to write home about. Has anyone given Island Greek a try yet....

re: existential_crisis
re: Nick's
I guess this says it all about Halifax pizzas. HFXfoodie is right. We wait..... or grill our own at home.
re: existential_crisis
Never heard of it. Where in NS were you?
re: CanadaGirl
I'm thinking it must have been in the South Shore. I don't remember seeing it in Halifax, now that you mention it.
I think it had garlic butter and donair meat on it... but I am really not sure.
re: existential_crisis
Because donair meat needs more garlic... ;)
this is about peters pizzeria inglis st..:just want to put a warning out there that a long held south end halifax pizza institution has changed owners. I walked into this place today and couldn't believe what I saw. It is truly staggering how much the quality has changed. not even a shadow of it's former self. I feel sorry for anyone who orders delivery and doesn't realize it has changed, be the worst surprise ever.
Apetizers on portland st is the best pizza in Dartmouth now it is called pizza girls and yesterday just had an Alexandra pizza crust was okay. Its a guarded recipe and amazing
Hubby and I visited the Halifax area a few weeks ago from Mississauga, ON. First time having pizza in NS and we had Salvatore's with a friend. We shared the small clam pizza and 2 slices of another kind that had spinach and don't remember the other ingredientas as it was the daily special. The clam had no marinara sauce and only baby clams, cheese and spices with a fresh lemon slice on top. The three of us enjoyed both pizzas, however the clam was the standout. The crust was thick, chewy and airy. The spices and lemon went well with the clams and the taste was a winner for me. We also had pizza in NB and QC. Ontario included, we notice that each region/area/province taste amazing, yet has thier own unique taste and ingredients.
Attaching a pic of the clam pizza and the spinach pizza.
re: fryerlover
Salvatore's is fabulous, but unique. It isnt what I'd call "typical" Halifax pizza, but that's okay!
I've noticed the same thing with pizza being different in different regions. I think that's why transplants are usually unhappy with the pizza when they move. I know when I lived in Ottawa, I never found a pizza that tasted "right".
re: CanadaGirl
I really find everything has always had to measure up tp Appetizers now pizza girls notizza is nothing can match that taste have not had one from there in a while though but the lebanese pizza is the best I think
re: HalifaxRetales
For me it is the old appetizers now Pizza Girls the other i have had was Roberts when in was under the old bridge that was good too
re: existential_crisis
Been there a few times and to the one in St John's as well. Can't say I'm a pizza connoiseur but thoroughly enjoyed the pizzas at Piatto. Good service too.
Ten of us went to Piatto a few nights ago. All ten pizzas arrived in well under 10 minutes, that's got to tell you something. They were atrocious. The crust has changed and resembled a soggy old chipati. $16-$20 for a very small pizza as thin as a razor blade is expensive enough and one would expect it to be top notch at that price. Something's brewing there. Hard to believe I once sang its praises. Never again.
re: chilibeanpaste
That's interesting. Two nights ago I did a pizza crawl of all the south end pizza restaurants and yeah, Piatto was a soggy mess. Our top pick was A Mano, followed by Tomavino's and Morris East.
re: existential_crisis
Hey existential crisis - That's reassuring,so I'm not losing it. Must try A Mano, thanks for the tip.

LONDON — Two UK police officers are seen on tape being hit by a car as they chased rioters suspected of looting.
The green Citroen knocked both officers to the ground early Monday morning after they arrived to answer a call about looters who had hit a clothing store in northeast London,according to ITN. One officer injured his leg and knee, and the other his shoulder, a spokesperson said. Both were treated at the hospital and are currently recovering at their homes.
Investigators hope the release of the footage will help identify the driver.

A 25-year-old Kendallville man is accused of trying to persuade a 15-year-old girl to have sex with him.
Noble County prosecutors formally charged Jay. J. King, of the 300 block of Silver Street in Kendallville, with one count of child solicitation Tuesday.
According to investigators, King used his Facebook page to solicit the girl to have sex with him between June and early August of last year.
A relative of the girl became concerned and contacted police, according to prosecutors.
Law enforcement officials reviewed cellphone records and Facebook account information in compiling a case against King.
Officials do not suspect the girl was physically harmed, according to a news release.
King was arrested Tuesday and is scheduled to make a court appearance today.

The sports-touring Honda CBR1000F was always in the shadow of more exciting motorcycles, yet had a decade long production run. It had its good points, such as a comfortable riding position, good build quality - except for early camchain tensioner problems - and respectable handling. But the Honda CBR1000F is so bland it makes Katie Melua look like a brazen rock chick.
Compared to its contemporary rivals like the Kawasaki ZZ-R1100, or Suzuki GSX-R1100, the Honda CBR1000F lacks real kick-in-the-pants power. It is a deceptively fast motorcycle, but it feels a bit flat somehow and never really gets your pulse racing. Early Honda CBR1000Fs suffered camchain tensioner problems, but there was a Honda recall on them and most were fixed rapidly.
The Honda CBR1000F's suspension is slightly mushy, especially the non-adjustable front forks and the rear shock tends to get sloppy when the motorcycle is pushed hard, letting the back end bounce around. As a touring motorcycle, the Honda CBR1000F offers a nice, plush ride for two people. As a sports motorcycle it's just too soft, too vague.
The Honda CBR1000F has a comprehensive dashboard, excellent lights, brakes, comfy saddle, bungee hooks and passenger grab rail. It even has a centrestand - praise the Lord. The Honda CBR1000F is a well thought out package and the later models feel more durable and better finished than the early ones.
Honda CBR1000Fs can rack up a huge mileage, 60-80K is typical before any serious signs of engine wear. Apart from the suspension getting soggy, the chassis also wears well, so the Honda CBR1000F makes a very good budget touring motorcycle. It's hard to go wrong with `em.
Most bikers would rather buy a big 80s/90s motorcycle with some soul, some aggression, but there are those who like the sheer quality of the Honda CBR1000F and its understated ability in real world riding situations. If you want a big 1000cc bike, but don't actually want to ride very fast, the Honda CBR1000F is damn near perfect. Find a Honda CBR1000F for sale.

I own 6 bikes and have been riding for over 30 years so I have ridden a few in my time. I bought my CBR1000F last year with 56K on the clock. It is in amazing condition for its mileage and could easily pass for one with 40K less, such is the build quality. The engine has extremely linear power which for a sports tourer is just perfect in my book, particularly if you carry a pillion. Its natural home is on sweeping a roads and motorways as its high speed stability is teh best I have ever experienced and somehow what appears to be quite a low screen results in the best aerodynamics I have experienced with no buffeting to my helmet. I will not be getting a flip screen as it could only make it worse as it is perfect as it is, almost like sitting on a magic carpet. It reminds me very much of a bigger, longer VFR750, which is a good thing!

G Reg cbr1000f
I rode one of these a few years ago and always dreamt of owning one , well that day came true on the 28th of April 09 , I SOLD MY ZXR750 due to wanting something more upright but still with a bit of power , what a dream to ride , I hope to own this for years to come .
29 April 2009
Got this bike last year and i have covered over 3000 miles on it in all weathers without any complaints from. OK this is not an out and out sports bike but it makes an excellent all rounder, riding position is good, suspension is ok if set up properly and will stay with the majority of sports bike if you learn how to ride it properly even 2 up. Will def recommend this for someone who wants a large capacity sports touring motorcycle.

I dont know any better
Ok, review probably seems a bit high (verging on favouritism)but as the title says, I dont know any better.
It seems too good a bike not to have a review so thought I'd put in my tuppence worth.
I only passed in March 07 and I'm now on my second one. I find it very comfortable for my size (6ft2) with a ride position that suits me. The 2 I've had have never let me down, were/was cheap and cheerful, handle fine for my experience and the engines Japanese so bullet proof.
Again, I haven't the knowledge or experience to know any better, but I'd highly recommend them as a first bike.
My 1994 is a lot better than my old 1989 one, lighter (but with less power), it seems to handle better and is building my confidence nicely.

Warp factor 10 Scottie-Aye Aye Captain
This was my first "big" bike and I loved it. Too heavy a brute to be sporty but after riding mediocre 5/600s it was plenty fast for my tastes. When you thought you were doin under 70 you would actually be doin a ton! Sitting in a nice comfy seat , surrounded by acres of deeply painted plastic only Honda could provide. I used to get off it after driving in the rain and most of me would be dry. The fairing was that good. It took you where you wanted to go very quickly and without fuss, in the blink of an eye. Some say suspension was soggy but its not meant to be chucked around country roads. As a fast tourer its the dogs bollocks as its sooo very comfy. They are a total bargain these days too if you can pick up a clean one. Lots of older riders used them so many well looked after examples to be had. Recommended. Beam me up Scottie!

Operation Cheap Tourer
I am a long term Yamaha man who took the piss out of mates with big three-bedroom Hondas but back in 2005 I was about to tour Scotland for a week and found a rented tourer would cost me around £800 (my Yam not good for touring) so 'Operation Cheap Tourer' was born as a challenge. The plan was to spend about the same on something comfy to get me around for a week that then owed me nothing so could almost be discarded into a skip. Found a cleanish black 96 CBR1000FT at a dealer for £1,995 and he took the £800 I offered (it was december) and this thing has now been on 4 tours since and is off to Northern Spain next week (May 09). Big, comfy for two over big distances, good fairing, will take 3 box givis without affecting the handling too much and bulletproof reliable. It's heavy, dated and goes through rear tyres but never gives any trouble. I keep getting tempted by a new BMW K1200/1300S which I could easily afford but the challenge of getting as many holidays as possible out of the old CBR is like a mission. Any idiot can fill out an Ocean Finance loan agreement and get a new tourer but I get more enjoyment out of keeping my trusty old Honda on tour. I suspect I may have it a long time but once it goes, will probably be replaced by a new K1300S.

PetcareRX - My dog tested positive for heartworms after taking Heartguard

I purchased and used PetCareRx Heartguard Plus for dogs as prescribed by my vet. When I returned my dog for her annual check at my animal clinic, we got the news that my poor dog tested positive for heart worms. I am very upset that my poor dog has to go through this treatment and I will be out $600.00 plus dollars and I will have saved nothing using this online pet medication supplier.
My vet told me that the online animal meds websites sometime use foreign suppliers for their medications which may not have same standards as U.S. suppliers.bd61539

I purchased my dog when he was 3 mos old and he has been on Heartguard FAITHFULLY every month since I have owned him. At the age of 1 1/2 he was diagnosed with heartworms. We have been treating him with Doxycycline for 9 months now and he is still positive for heartworms.0 0 Reply

OK--GUYS THINK--IF ITS THE SAME BRAND--SAME STUFF--DOESNT MANNER WHERE U BOUGHT IT--THEY ALL GET IT FROM THE SAME PLACE!! AND YES I HAD A DOG WITH HEARTWORMS--A STRAY WE GOT AND TOOK TO A VET--WAS TESTED FIRST TIME OK SECOND TIME NOT OK--BUT VET PAID FOR THE PROCEDURE. PLEASE JUST LOOK AT THE THE LABEL--MOST OF THEM ARE THE EXACT SAME! JUST GIVE THEM TO UR PETS!!0 0 Reply

I know a lot of vet techs. Most cases of + heartworm tests of dogs that owners say they give prevention to later find a place outside or behind a couch or something where the dog takes the medicine and spits it out after they think it eats it.
I give my dogs the chewable pill followed by either food or a treat before they leave my sight that way I KNOW they ate it and are not keeping it in their mouth. DOGS ARE SMARTER THAN HUMANS GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR!! They are completely capable of hiding a pill in their mouth just as we are!!

My dog also tested positive for heartworms after being on Heartguard for years. My vet said for some reason in the Memphis and surrounding areas this has been happening and they really are not sure why. The dogs are becoming immune. I am very sad and I know the next 3 months will be rough but she is worth it! My vet also said most likely heartguard will pay for the treatment.0 0 Reply

i just found out that my dog tested postive for heartworms. my dog has been on heartgard since he was a pup.(he is now 2) i buy my meds from the vet and am waiting to hear from heartgard about paying for the treatment. I am very pissed about this!!! not only having to pay the remaining balance but do u realize trying to keep a 2 yr old choc lab from any exercising? this is gonna be a very hard 3-4 months on my family and most of all my dog!!!!!0 0 Reply
Heather Nov 16, 2010
The reason why a dog would test positive after being on Heartgard has absolutely nothing to do with the efficacy of the medication in most cases, but it does have to do with the life cycle of the heartworm. This is why you can't replace your vet with an online pharmacy. Try calling your vet...they will explain how this can happen, it happens all the time. Did you know your dog can have heartworms for 6 months before testing positive with the normal antigen test. Its because the worms must be sexually active to trigger a positive test. Most cases of heartworms can be traced back to a failure to protect during the entire exposure time. Stop ranting on here about stuff you know nothing about and get educated. Call that vet that you are trying to buy nothing from, give no business to, and get some free advice. At least you will know its trustworthy and not nonsense written by people who don't know what they are talking about.0 0 Reply

Actually heartworm medicine doesn't protect your dog by preventing a heartworm infestation. It kills the worms after they have already been put in the blood. So with that said even after the "unprotected period" wouldn't taking heartguard kill the worms like it was meant to do? Especially if taken for 6 months after the infestation at the "unprotected period"?0 0 Reply
Labride Oct 23, 2010
Yes, you can blame the company. My dog is suffering horribly right now. He has gotten heartworms three times after being treated FAITHFULLY with Heartguard. The company has paid for his treatment each time!!! All of my medications have been purchased from my vet and representatives of the company have disclosed that where I live the drug is NOT effective. The vets were not told this in advance and neither were the owners...the companies kept this to themselves and did not disclose. There is a class action pending in Mississippi.0 0 Reply

Thanks, Jake. I have never had a problem with PetCareRX but whenever I go to my vet they always try to make me buy from them. Their excuse today was that they did not know where you purchase the drugs since they don't get it from a distributor. I'm glad you put that myth to rest as far as PetCareRX for me.0 0 Reply
Jess Aug 02, 2010
I am sorry your dog is going through the treatment for heartworms. I recently "adopted" a dog from a friend of mine and didnt know it until i took her to the vet that she was positive for heartworms. I paid to have the treatment done, she is worth it!! i get to bring her home today but in a month she has to go back for more treatment. Heartguard is what we will have to use for her since she has had heartworms, there is always a chance that she could have the larva in her and if she takes anything else it could kill her. But here is my response, its nobodys fault that a dog or any other animal gets heartworms, its comes from mosquitos, but its def not the palce where you get the medicines fault, its not their fault that you go the cheap route to buy the medicine for your animals. You shouldnt care what the cost is when it comes to your dog, they are just like kids and you should want to do whatever possible to help them. You wanted them so take care of them and stop blaming the company. you should have done more research and should have bought the medicine from your vet or another vet that you can see and talk to and go to if you have questions. I only want whats best for my 2 dogs! I paid out of pocket to get mine treated for heartworms and im not complaining or saying anyone else should have to pay for it. she is my pet and i love her very much!! I pay close to 90$ for the heart worm medicine for my rat terrier and ill pay whatever the cost for the heart guard for my jack... russell once she is able to take it. I get my rat terrier checked every year and i will do my jack russell the same. i suggest from now on you buy from someone you know you can trust (say...your vet) and dont worry about the money because in the end its worth every penny to pay the high price!!!

In response to Jake. That's great that Pet Care Rx will reimburse the cost if one of our animals gets heartworms will taking the medicine bought off of your website. But why would they get heartworms in the first place if they've been taking the meds? Something doesn't add up, and how would Pet Care Rx reimburse the time and stress of worrying about your pet? I understand the buying in bulk concept, and it makes sense. BUT there are two ppl in this complaint that have had the same experience of buying heartworm meds for their pet, using them faithfully, and their pet still getting heartworms. Two ppl is enough for me to believe (not to mention that this wasn't the only link about complaints on Pet Care Rx on my google search) Buying for price at the risk of my pet's health is not worth it.0 0 Reply

I just had the same experience with PetCareRX. I had my dog from 6 months old, and had him started on heartworm medication as soon as the vet reccomned. Last year he turned two, and I decided to try and save some money by ordering from PetCareRX. My dog tested positive for heartworms around 9 months afterwards. I gave him the Heartguard faithfully each month.
The treatment has cost me over $800, not to mention the longterm damage to my German Shephard's organs, and 2 months I had to keep a 100lb dog confined. PetCareRx has shirked. First they said they would only to pay a small portion, then they came back and said around $500. Now they are simply not responding to my faxes or emails. This has been going on for 4 months now. Their customer service agent Barbara said they are only responsible for the treatment's PetCareRX deems necessary. My vet said she has seen this through several online sites, and with PetcareRX. I am planning legal action. If I can find others like you that have been lied to by PetCareRX, a class action suit may be in order. It's digusting this company toutes they a guarantee. PetcareRx will be reported to the EPA and FDA as well.
Jake Nov 04, 2009
I work at PCRX actually and if you call their CS Dept. and tell them your dog got heartworm disease while taking Heartgard you bought from them they will reimburse you for meds and pay for the cost of treatment.
Additionally, you vet just told you that they get their medication from foreign suppliers b/c he wants you to buy medication from him. There are pet pharmacies that do this but they don't stay in business very long b/c that is ILLEGAL. PetCareRx would not have been in business 11 years if our drugs were not approved by the EPA and FDA and we were not regularly monitored by the State Pharmacy Board. the reason we can offer lower prices is b/c we buy in bulk from the distributor (same place your vet gets the meds) and so they offer us lower prices (it works the same way Wal-Mart does, if you buy one million rolls of paper towels its cheaper than buying a 3 pack at your neighborhood grocery store) but your vet can not buy in bulk (just like the neighborhood grocery store) b/c he has a finite number of customers so he can only buy the amount he thinks he is going to sell, otherwise, he is out of pocket personally. vets don't make money by giving little Toby a check-up exams, they make money by selling those drugs- they will tell you anything to keep you as a CUSTOMER,when they lie like that, that don't care about the PATIENT.

Sun gives servers an Opteron quad job
Sun has been sluggish to release servers based on AMD's four-core Opteron processors, but today it got around to the quad job. The vendor is releasing three new servers with the latest Opterons, and also fitting the chips into five systems previously announced. Sun trails a gaggle of major server vendors like Fujitsu, Hewlett- …
Sun has serious reliability issues
Sun has been focused on reducing U's and the heat is killing the systems.
Two thing kill servers: heat and vibration. The focus on 1u vs. 2u is not really increasing the number of systems per rack but is killing the mean time between failure because of the dense packaging.
Mr MoJo Risin
Inquiring Minds Want to Know!
Sun has an 8-processor Opteron box. With top clocked x4 Opterons in it would I be able to hit a nice smooth 200 FPS in Crysis with full eye candy? Is there an after-market cooling solution to keep the machine's 1 meter SPL below perhaps 80 dB?
Sparc ?
Which makes me curious ,
does anyone know what Suns plans are for Sparc based workstations ?
I think the U45 was the latest one, and thats been out for something like 2 years now
Dead I think. The whole UltraSPARC line is EOL or going EOL. The line up is T1/T2/T2+, Fujitsu SPARC64VI and AMD.
Apparently there's a single CPU quad core Fujitsu powered server coming, sometime in the summer.
The price/performance difference between the U40 and U45 is only going to get more embarrassing though, I think the end of SPARC workstations in on the way.
Treble SunRays all round!
What they didn't tell you
They have EOL'ed the ultrasparc IIIi boxes (215,245,445). Their netra cousins are still alive but, I hope your software works well on a T1/T2 or be ready to pay the USIV or Netra tax going forward.
That's nothing.
Sun has serious reliability issues?
Care to provide actual data on that? I have a shed-load of both T1 and Opteron servers running constantly at high load and have had very limited hardware issues with them.
One huge disadvantage of Web2.0 is that comments like the first one are permitted without having to provide any accompanying evidence!
1u and 2u
The difference between 1u and 2u is that the additional eight drives and IO slots need more physical space. We have loads of Sun x86 boxes running VMWare and the only problem is that they are very loud compared to our DELLs. These Sun servers have too much airflow and these sound like jet engines.
2.5" drives only
we would very happily consider buying the Sun machines as there's heavy discounting, try-before-buy etc. Snag is that we want the performance and capacity of 3.5" drives, whereas Sun and Dell have opted to use 2.5" drives in a lot of servers, HP have gone down that route too.
the irony is that has pushed us into buying commodity boxes from Tyan and Supermicro who do make nice 1U servers with 4 hot-swap SATA bays.
now, why aren't servers sexy enough to have a beach babe looking at one?
2.5" vs 3.5" drives
Does anyone know why server vendors are pushing 2.5" drives (SAS & SATA both) instead of 3.5" ? Clearly the 2.5" drives consume less power, but 3.5" drives have much better capacity. It seems to me you can fit more number of 2.5" drives of lower capacity versus less number of 3.5" drives of higher capacity - so what's the catch ?
BTW, if you need a sexy looking server, go for apple Xserve :-)
The T2/T2+ is a very nifty processor.
2.5" drives are actually faster than 3.5" and more reliable
Actually, smaller drives are faster on seek times when they spin at the same speed (15K RPM). Distance to travel from the edge to edge is shorter. Plus, according to Seagate smaller drives are also more reliable. The only downside is a smaller capacity compared to 3.5" brethren.
If you need storage on a server
One generally uses a SAN or a NAS. I know very few companies these days who store data on local drives. Local drives are just used for the OS and Swap
