Food Review: Jamal’s Pizza – Chester, NS Jamal’s Pizza is a true local gem, perfectly situated right off Highway 3 in a bustling plaza that makes it a super convenient stop, whether you're a local or just passing through from the nearby Highway 103. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly, welcoming staff. Parking is plentiful, which adds to the hassle-free experience. On this visit, I used their online ordering system, which was incredibly smooth and user-friendly. My order was ready in just 10 minutes—despite the website estimating 20—which was a great surprise. I went with the Small Donair Poutine this time, and it was a standout. The serving size was generous—comparable to "large" servings at some other places. Great value for the price! Jamal’s also offers local delivery and has a wide range of specials with very competitive pricing compared to nearby spots. Their pizza, which I've had before, features a deliciously sweet sauce that really sets them apart. During this visit, the slice rack looked like it had older slices, so I passed—but knowing most places, they’d likely have no problem making a fresh one if asked. The inside of the restaurant was clean, with indoor seating available and a washroom for customers. They accept both cash and card payments, which adds to the convenience. Final Thoughts: Great location, fast service, tasty food, and fair prices—Jamal’s Pizza hits all the right notes. 10/10 – Would recommend and will definitely return!

These reviews don’t lie! Jamal’s really is one of the best businesses in Nova Scotia! Father and son run, quality, personal service, plus so many deals and all of them so delicious! We got a pepperoni and donair slice with sweet sauce. No pictures because it was too good to save any.

Love Jamal’s. pizza 10/10. Was always a big fan of the shawarma wrap but they’ve changed it. No more beautifully wrapped pita it’s now served in a regular wrap which is really not right. Also no more thinly sliced chicken, it’s almost like pre cooked and tossed in sauce. Please justice for the old original shawarma wrap, it was perfect.

Grabbed two slices coming through town - best decision we made all day. Affordable, delicious. I had the meat lovers (realized half way through it’s made with a BBQ sauce base) and I’ll be dreaming about that slice until I have it again.

Ordered a barbecue chicken pizza, got pizza with some kind of rubbery pressed chicken on it. Disappointed. My first time ordering from here. Do not recommend the BBQ Chicken Pizza. They made up for it with an amazing double cheeseburger and fries though. I can definitely recommend those menu items.

Real old school pizza place. I walked in expecting to just grab a slice of whatever was available and was blown away by all the options. Great slice, well cooked, real bacon. I'll definitely be stopping by here more often.

Really cool pizza restaurant that has all sorts of stuff not just pizza. Had a slice of "the works" with sweet sauce and it was really good. Large slices aswell.
