Reviews describe Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar as a lively, stylish spot with a cozy yet upscale vibe where thin crust pizzas, inventive toppings, and a broad list of martinis and cocktails sit beside attentive service. Praises focus on burrata, calamari, Caesar salad, meatballs, and pizzas, with many enjoying the option to split pizzas or choose half-and-half toppings. The atmosphere is described as fun and convivial, making it a good choice for date nights or groups, and the outdoor terrace is a welcome feature. Reservations are often recommended because the place fills up quickly and seating can be tight and loud when busy. Occasional drawbacks include pizzas that are burnt or overly salty, and some feel the pricing is high. Gluten-free crust options are noted as a positive. Overall the spot is viewed as a strong addition to the area, delivering good food, strong drinks, and a memorable vibe that keeps guests returning.
Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar what can I say.. The West-Island needed a spot like this. Cool atmosphere, unpretentious vibe, straightforward menu, good food & drinks & excellent friendly service. I would recommend reserving if you want to be guaranteed a table as this place was still full past 10pm.
I liked the place but the food is average. 3⭐? would be viewed as negative & not what I mean to convey. It's just average. Drinks are good. The burrata dip is bland, barely any hot honey & no sign of the everything bagel seasoning. The pizza is ok, I wouldn't place it in the top 10 that I've had. The Fun Guy pizza is tasty. They charged an additional $4 to add sausage - I've had an easier time finding Waldo compared to finding the sausage on the pizza. In summary, somewhat overpriced for what you get, I don't regret going & I wouldn't return. Service was really good.
Food is truly delicious! We ordered 4 pizzas to share between 8 people + 2 fries & it was enough food. The place is nice but all the tables are way to close one with another so is really hard to pass between, go to the bathroom or even not hear your neighbours conversation. It looks more like a place for adults than for families. Drinks were ok, nothing extraordinary.
Really great food & vibe... Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the tight spacing with tables. Tables of two are spaced 2 inches from each other with other tables on either side of you. Felt like farm cattle shoulder-to-shoulder at the feeding troughs. Pretty odd dinner sitting so close to strangers. Otherwise food itself & drinks were great

Really enjoyed this place !
The vibe is cozy, yet sophisticated. The drink menu has lots of options & the food was good!
The pizza really tasty. I loved the garlic bread rolls, it was a little sweet. Cesar salad was good. We tried the meatballs as well. I was a little disappointed in the calamari, but the rest compensated. Overall I really enjoyed my experience at Bernie's & would definitely come back!
Nice place with a fun vibe. Drinks were good, started with meatballs which were very good. Pizza toppings were excellent but the base of the pizza was just okay for me. Seeing as we came for the pizza that was somewhat of a disappointment. But the overall experience still keeps it at a 4/5. We had the skillet cookie with ice cream which was very tasty
excellent food, you can taste the quality & freshness!
Owner is extremely nice & attentive to customers.
I highly recommend for an amazing pizza & great Drinks!! Bartenders are the best.
What an incredible Monday night discovery in the West Island. Bernie's Martini & Pizza delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. We kicked things off with a round of great drinks - a crisp Peroni beer, a rich & velvety chocolate martini, a smooth Chardonnay, & a very dirty gin soda that hit all the right notes.
The appetizers set the tone: perfectly seasoned meatballs, tender calamari, & a fresh, classic Caesar salad. Simple dishes, done exceptionally well.
Then came the pizzas… & let's just say our eyes definitely didn't listen to our bellies. We were warned not to order two - but we did anyway. The portions were huge, the crusts were perfect, & every bite was worth the challenge. Worth noting: the pizza isn't Neapolitan style - it's its own generous, hearty style - but still absolutely delicious.
The ambience was surprisingly lively for a Monday night. Warm, welcoming, & exactly the kind of spot the West Island has been needing. It felt great to have this style of restaurant right here in DDO.
Highly recommend Bernie's for anyone looking for great food, great drinks, & a great night out. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

Very good food, drinks & service. We were a group of 5, served quickly. Wait staff were very nice & very attentive. Excellent menu selections for drinks, appies & main courses (especially pizzas). I will be going back & needless to say I recommend this place.
Super cute place! The staff were friendly, & the food & drinks were really good.
We (3) shared the Bernies Chopped salad & the Mini Beef Burgers. We also got 2 pizzas: one was half cheese & half margherita , & the other was half vegetarian & spicy bernies. It was cool how you can split your choices for the pizza so you can try more options. We also shared the Bernies Biscuit for dessert… so yummy.
I had the Sunflower martini & also the Espresso Martini - both made very well.
The tables felt a bit cramped, & the music was a bit loud (hard to hear each other talk), but was definitely a fun spot!

Food was amazing, the vibes 🤌🏼, theres a changing table for kids in the bathroom, staff is so nice, the service was wow, the drinks were UP THERE. so gooood. we had a blast best spot everrrrrr !!!!
I've always had a great experience at Bernie's except for the last time. The service was quite poor. Firstly, we reserved a few days in advance & it only said they had 9:30pm. Not a problem however the restaurant was totally empty on a Thursday night. We felt like a bother to the waitress when wanting to order more items I guess because it was late, but that isn't our fault. We did not a receive a last call so when wanting to order one last round of drinks (at 1030pm mind you) she said sorry kitchen & bar are closed. We then asked if we can take a pizza to go to have some family try it & she also said no. Pretty disappointed.
Very nice spot for a drink & dinner. The outdoor patio is nice although not much to look at other than traffic lol. I wish they had more options on tap as they had only house beer & one other. Pizza was actually fantastic, nice crispy bottom & toppings were perfect.
