Overall, reviews about Ancien Four A Pizza point to comforting, generously portioned Italian food, with wood-oven pizza and big subs that many diners praise, in a warm, casual, family-friendly setting with friendly staff. The menu is diverse and often delivers solid flavors and authentic, old-school Italian vibes, with some nights featuring lively ambiance or entertainment. On the downside, experiences vary with service and value: some readers report long waits for meals or takeout, occasional pricing or payment glitches, and regular complaints about a loud or busy environment and a sometimes imperfect ordering system, but the food quality and portions keep many coming back.
Waw! Pizza WAW!! sub Marine WAW! I never liked any submarine, but the one i had today was gone in 5 min!! It was moist & tasty & fresh!! & the pizza..WAW! Tasty sauce, good dough, everything was delicious & worth every dollar! My first time, but to many more to come!!
Had to try the submarine. They owner warned us that the 14' should be shared. But we were stubborn, so we each took a 14'. He was right. Huge piece of home made bread. Great taste & great service.
Sub price on website say $22.95, but really is $28.95 they said on the phone, not cool. You should honor it if it's posted. Talking robot machine is annoying, doesn't understand simple questions. Food is still really good & tasty. Also last visit said cash only, mev & interact wasn't working, no problem there, but still charged taxes & gave no receipt. Put money in a cup next to till. I don't think I will be going back, too bad cause a couple months ago was a great place to eat.
Employees greeted us with a smile. Super friendly place.
We were a group of 6 & they were able to get us a table right away even though the place was full.
My 12yo loves pizza so I decided to get him the familia size this way he can have next day. Except, he devoured it by him self it was that good. This pizza is huge!!!
I took the steak sub. This ain't no Subways subs, this is the real deal! Fresh bread, delicious seasoned beef, fresh greens. Wow we were shocked how delicious it was. Hats off to the chef.
The owner came to say hi & talk to us. He had a huge smile where ever he was.
Go check this place out, definitely try the sub. I'm going back for sure! Don't forget to ask the spicy oil.
Amaizing Subs & sandwiches! The Panini with cold cuts (not on menu by the way) was amazing & huge, the photo is of only half of the sandwich. Service was fast & excellent. Highly recommend!!
What a great discovery! Went last night & will definitely return. We shared a sub, fries & a family size pizza & everything was delicious. Service was great & the owner goes above & beyond, he sat with us for a bit & even offered us a drink which is something most places do not do, customer service by far is the best I've had in a very long time. Only downside is the music tends to get a little too loud at times so when you're seated next to the dj it's hard to have a conversation. I'm already planning my next visit here & highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed!
The food is absolutely amazing. The submarine sandwich is made with fresh bread baked right in their pizza oven, which makes all the difference. The pizza is rich & generously topped, & the polpetta is homemade & incredibly fresh. Everything tastes authentic & made with care

Worst experience ever in a restaurant.we were a big group I took a sub sandwich I asked nothing spicy.yet they gave me one with hot pepper s.they placed us in a tight space & in front of the oven was very hot.pizza was soggy .not good at all.place should be shut down 👎
If you're in Laval, Ancien du Four is the place to go, especially if you're a fan of hearty sandwiches! The Saint-Dorothée sub is huge & absolutely amazing - packed with delicious, tender steak that's perfectly seasoned. But what really sets it apart is the sauce - it's incredible & definitely one of the best parts of the sandwich. Every time I go, I have to order it. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a satisfying, flavorful meal!
