EPIC EATERIES & SWEETERIES THE ORIGINAL SAM`S PIZZA - STELLARTON, NS by Lee Atwater P ictou County was established in 1835 and includes the towns of New Glasgow, Stel- larton, Pictou, Westville and Trenton which are all located in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. Pictou County borders the Northum- berland Strait, which is famous for it’s amazing beaches and because of the strait’s shallow depths, home to the warmest ocean water tem- peratures in Canada, and some of the warmest ocean water temperatures on the Atlantic coast north of Virginia. It is also home to the Riverfront
Jubilee that runs the long weekend in August offering three days of amazing Canadian music talent on the banks of the East River. Pictou County may have been built on the forest and coal industries, but these days Pictou County is renowned for something interesting: it’s pizza, more specifically the pizza sauce. Now we know that everywhere claims to have the best pizza. You can go on social media and see Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports doing one of his famous pizza reviews south of the border, where it’s “one bite, everybody knows the rules.” Dave might not get the opportunity to taste some of the pizza that Pictou county is famous for, but
thankfully we have and there’s something truly unique about the pizza that you get from this area and it has everything to do with the sauce. Now with most pizzas you typically expect a sweet or savory red tomato-based sauce to be the base of your pie however, in Pictou County they do pizza a little differently using brown pizza sauce that sends a message to your taste buds that something magical is happening. Being from New Glasgow, well Linacy, I have tried all the pizza joints in Pictou County and consider myself the staff expert on brown sauce pizza. I have tried a lot of pizzas in my day, and I have never found anything that I like as much as Pictou County style pizza. When I find myself craving a slice from time to time, especially when writing an article like this, I have to make a trip back home to my favorite place for Pictou County brown sauce pizza, The Original Sam`s Pizza in Stellarton.
