Saint-Henri, Montreal-Southwest

Pizza Poutine American

Review Summary

Pizza Saint Henri draws mixed reviews that center on a friendly neighborhood vibe, quick counter service, and solid value for pizza lovers. The pies are praised for a flavorful sauce, well balanced dough, and generous cheese, with particular affection for the crust’s texture and the option to grab by the slice near the display case, and customers note a convenient location near Place St Henri metro station and crowd pleasing dishes like lasagna and poutine. Yet some orders go awry with phone orders not being accepted or online orders and Uber Eats mismatches, occasional rude phone replies, and delivery times that can stretch. The interior is described as old fashioned by some, but the overall sentiment is that the pizza itself is tasty, often among the better options locally, and the place remains a dependable pick for a casual, affordable meal in the area.View restaurant profile
