Ville Emard Pizza

Ville-Émard, Montreal-Southwest

Review Summary

Overall, reviews for Ville Emard Pizza are mixed, with some customers praising the new administration, friendly staff, a clean dining room, and solid pizzas such as all dressed, noting good service and reasonable prices for the area, while others question value and consistency, describing toppings that are sparse or imbalanced, a sauce that can be too salty, crusts that are too thin in the center or pizzas that arrive lukewarm, and a sense that the price does not always match the quality. Several observers mention renovations and branding changes coinciding with a perceived drop in quality, and some say portions or execution fail to justify the cost, leading them to consider alternatives. Still, many reviews highlight delicious pizza, approachable prices, and a welcoming vibe, with customers saying they would return to try other items; in summary, Ville Emard Pizza has potential but would benefit from improving consistency and value to satisfy the local market and secure steady long term demand.View restaurant profile

Deli Smoked Meat Poutine Pizza Sandwiches Grill

Mentioned in: 18 Delis and Diners in Montréal Serving the City's Timeless Classics

Review Summary

Overall, Green Stop gets praise for the food, especially the poutine with brown sauce and the smoked meat with fries, with dishes described as tasty and reasonably priced. Service is a mixed bag, with complaints about rude or inconsistent staff and pricing changes at the register, and in some visits table service has disappeared. There is also nostalgia for an old school vibe and authentic feel, with the restaurant keeping its original charm while being clean and updated. Some reviewers feel the place has declined in quality over the years. Parking and the location are noted as convenient. Taken together, the reviews show Green Stop offers classic Quebecois fast food that satisfies at times but there are recurring concerns about price inconsistencies and service.View restaurant profile
