Al Pizzetta is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Old Montreal. As soon as you step inside, you're welcomed by the warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the gourmet experience that awaits.

The menu is a delightful voyage through authentic Italian cuisine, with pizza taking center stage. Each pie is a masterpiece, crafted with love & an attention to detail that sets Al Pizzetta apart. The dough, hand-stretched to perfection, provides a base that's a harmonious balance of crisp & chewy.

Their use of the freshest ingredients shines through in every bite. The tomato sauce, robust & flavorful, tastes of sun-ripened tomatoes. The mozzarella is creamy & rich, a testament to their commitment to quality.

The topping options cater to a variety of tastes, from the classic Margherita to more adventurous options. Each pizza is cooked in a wood-fired oven, imbuing it with a smoky depth that elevates the flavors.

But the experience doesn't end with the food. The staff at Al Pizzetta are an integral part of the charm. Their service is attentive & warm, making you feel like a valued guest.

Whether you're a local or a tourist exploring Old Montreal, Al Pizzetta is a must-visit. It's more than just a meal, it's an experience - a slice of Italy in the heart of the city.

The absolute best pizza restaurant I have ever been to, & it's now a core tradition of whenever I make a trip to Montreal, I eat an amazing lunch of Al Pizzetta!

On our trip to Montreal, we ate at Al Pizzeta twice. The first time we ate there was, we got a bowl of fettuccine drenched in pesto, two bowls of spaghetti with tomato sauce with vegetables. & one bowl of spaghetti with just tomato sauce. The spaghetti & fettuccine was very good & all three had very good flavor. In my opinion the pesto fettuccine was the best out of the three. The second time we went there, we had personal pizzas. We got a Funghi pizza, which has mushrooms, two veggie pizzas, & one margherita pizza. We also had bruschetta as a starter. The bruschetta had a lot of flavor & the pizza was very filling. Overall, it was a great place to eat at, & I recommend to eat it if you stop by Montreal.

The pizza is so freaking good!!! The cheese & sauce are amazing. All the other ingredients are just a bonus after that. But no less fresh or amazing.

Convenient location, quality food. Tried the house salad, vegetarian pasta & margarita pizza. Salad was super fresh, kids loved the thin crust pizza & the penne pasta had tomato sauce + vegetables, which is a rare combination. Would highly recommend. We sat outside & it was lovely
