About This Spot

The space carries a straightforward, no-frills vibe—think of a well-worn spot that’s welcomed locals and travelers alike for years. It’s the kind of place where the pace slows enough for you to settle in and savor the moment, even if the décor and atmosphere lean toward simplicity rather than polish.
What stands out here is the honest approach to food that has earned Damascus its steady following. The kitchen doesn’t rush things, allowing each pizza to develop a uniquely caramelized crust that feels satisfying and substantial. Whether you're savoring a slice topped with generous layers or sharing a plate of garlic fingers or wings, the experience is unpretentious and deeply nourishing. The menu offers a range of comforting, hands-on eats—from donairs that invite a leisurely, sometimes messy enjoyment to classic sides that perfectly complement a casual gathering.

First time in Nova Scotia. My wife introduced me to this place. And i have to say i was not disappointed. I had the donair. And it was so tasty. But just be prepared, it is very messy to eat. I would suggest getting the sauce on the side. I Will have to get another one before i leave Nova Scotia. Good stuff from Ontario!!!

Delicious pizza and wings!! Pizza had a slightly thicker crust but was perfectly cooked, and the wings were juicy not dry, and perfectly cooked as well!! Definitely be back when I’m in the area.

First time I had Damascus at their new location. We had Pepperoni pizza and garlic fingers. I was impressed with the longer cooking time on both items resulting in a unique caramelized process. The taste was very flavourful and stood out. The dough was thick and tasted just right as well ! Definitely will be coming back. Far as atmosphere, pretty bare bones.

Ok, this is a bit of a hole in the wall and the vibe is something from the Bronx. However, the donair I had was fantastic and it looks like they make most things fresh. It has been around forever so that says something

The Donair was outstanding. Great portion and delicious. Cook and staff was efficient and polite. We enjoyed relaxing in the little dining area. More of a take out place, but we felt comfortable and welcome there
