Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar propose des pizzas artisanales à croûte fine préparées avec une pâte étirée à la main et des garnitures locales. Le menu se concentre sur des plats réconfortants revisités, associant des pizzas signatures à une sélection sophistiquée de martinis classiques et contemporains. L'établissement offre une atmosphère industrielle chic définie par des briques apparentes et un éclairage ambiant chaleureux. La cuisine privilégie une cuisson sur pierre à haute température pour obtenir une croûte parfaitement saisie sur chaque spécialité de pizza proposée. Au-delà du four, le programme du bar met en vedette des spiritueux artisanaux et des mélanges maison conçus pour compléter les profils savoureux des plats. Ce lieu fonctionne comme un espace hybride raffiné, équilibrant la nature décontractée d'une pizzeria traditionnelle avec l'esthétique soignée d'un salon à cocktails pour créer une expérience distincte.
Bernie's Pizza Martini Bar est largement considéré comme une destination dynamique et tendance dans l'ouest de l'île, reconnu pour son atmosphère animée, son décor élégant et sa vaste sélection de martinis. De nombreux clients louent le menu pour ses délicieuses pizzas à croûte mince, ses salades fraîches et ses entrées populaires comme les boulettes de viande et la trempette de burrata. Bien que plusieurs visiteurs soulignent le service impeccable, amical et attentionné, le restaurant est constamment décrit comme étant très à l'étroit, avec des tables placées très près les unes des autres, ce qui peut entraîner un niveau sonore élevé et un manque d'intimité. Bien que la grande majorité des clients vivent une expérience merveilleuse, certains commentaires notent des incohérences dans la qualité de la nourriture, comme des croûtes brûlées ou des sauces trop salées, ainsi que des frustrations occasionnelles concernant la disponibilité des réservations et des frais supplémentaires inattendus.
We visited Bernie's with high hopes, but unfortunately, our experience didn't live up to the expectations.
The Atmosphere & Seating
From the moment we sat down, the noise level felt overwhelmingly high, making it difficult to hold a conversation. The layout is incredibly cramped. The tables are placed so close together that we felt like we were sharing a meal with the strangers at the next table rather than enjoying a private dinner.
The Service & Timing
In our opinion, the service was subpar. We lacked proactive attention & found ourselves having to flag down our waitress every single time we needed something. To make matters worse, our entire order, both the appetizers & the main pizzas, arrived at the exact same time. This made us feel incredibly rushed to eat before everything got cold, rather than being able to relax & enjoy the evening.
The Food
As for the food, it was decent but didn't blow us away. While the meal overall was okay, I found the pizza to be fairly average. The crust was remarkably thin, thinner than a Ritz cracker, in my estimation, which might appeal to some, but wasn't quite what we were hoping for.
For the price point, we feel there are much better options in the area that offer superior food quality in a far more comfortable, relaxed setting.
SUPER YUMMY! Our waiter was Anthony & he was amazing. I have gluten restrictions & he made me feel confident in the food I was ordering & catered to my restrictions impeccably. He also answered every question we had with confidence & if he wasn't sure, he asked. The gluten free crust on the pizza is also divine & don't get me started on their dirty martinis, WOW!! Overall a very good experience & would deem it an amazing first date spot. Definitely recommend Anthony as a waiter & get a dirty martini😋
We went for a group birthday party last night - which is always a good test for how a restaurant performs - & it was delicious! Very fairly priced group menu at $45 pp & included multiple appetizers like Caesar salad, crispy/spicy calamari, mini fried chicken sliders (my fave) & cheesy garlic buns. You get one pizza per group of 4 but you can do half/half for toppings & it's a large thin crust pizza cut into squares so more than enough. We got the hot pep & the ricotta (nut-free) pesto & both were very tasty! The dessert was a the kicker bc I haven't had a good old fashion large cookie freshly baked with an ice cream on top in years at a resto! Everything was really good & the vibe was on point.

Wow what a spot! The food was 10/10 thin crust pizza was delicious, that caesar salad was on another level !!! The crunch wow & I love me a Caesar salad we also had the truffle fries I really have nothing bad to say. The music was fabulous & our server was lovely !!! Will definitely be back
Fantastic pizza spot ! The crust is very thin, perfectly baked & generous size. Every bite of that ceasar salad was satisfying , fresh & crisp. French fries, yum ! The bartender nailed my Hugo Spritz . Overall great experience !
Other than the fact that you have to be out within 2hrs, this place was fantastic!
We had a'Hot Pep' pizza, along with an order of Bernie's meatballs. Both were absolutely delicious! Our only complaint, was that there was only 1 piece of bread with the meatballs! We wanted another so that we could soak up the remaining sauce, as it was delicious!!! The pizza was filling for the 2 of us eating it. Thin crust was cooked to perfection. The'cup & char' pepperoni was very tasty. While it was a tad greasy & salty, it is a pizza after all & to be expected, right?
One very odd thing!!! The men's toilet is a single toilet set up... the seat has a built in bidet!!! The remote hangs beside the toilet on the wall. Who, I repeat, WHO would use a bidet at a public, BUSY restaurant??? I thought was very strange! However, I guess it is that'added touch'! 🤔
If you're in the West Island, like a busy place with good music, atmosphere & of course, food, then Bernies is the spot for you! I give it 👍👍
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!
The pizza was delicious, a perfect thin crust & a delicate tomato sauce that wasn't acidic or overpowering. The salad was generous enough to feed two people. The tequila martini is a must-try. Great staff, service, & ambiance. Beautiful decor with an urban feel. I'll definitely be back.
I have read a lot of the reviews & the consensus seems to be that people were satisfied with the food they ordered. Sadly, I must have been unlucky that night. Because the Margherita pizza was subpar, very little fior di latte on said pizza, crust extremely thin to the point of being very dry with burnt edges. I didn't see any Parmesan shavings on the Signature Caesar salad, maybe a few sprinkles of grated parm., no more. Furthermore, I think that the bacon was fake bacon bits & it was not a proper Caesar salad dressing on the salad, just plain mayo. I guess the chef had an off night that night. The Limoncello Spritz was good, the waitress & the service were pleasant & the food came quickly.
Loved everything about this place!! Service was hands on & excellent! We ordered the all dressed pizza, thin crust was crunchy & loaded with toppings. I haven't had an old style pizza in ages & it was absolutely delicious! Every bite!! The garlic rolls had a slight sweetness to it which just compliments the butter & is loaded with melted cheese & grated cheese! My'Sunflower' martini was amazing! I will add that It's price smarter to get the bottle of wine then get a single glass. Thank You Bernie's for a great meal & wonderful experience! I'll be back & I'll be back often😊
