Brigade Pizzeria utilizes high-heat, stone-fired ovens to produce authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas within an efficient, fast-casual setting. Patrons customize their orders by selecting from a wide array of fresh, raw ingredients that are assembled and baked in under two minutes. The menu focuses on thin-crust personal pizzas, featuring classic tomato bases, creamy mozzarella, and various seasonal vegetable or premium meat toppings. Beyond individual pies, the establishment offers a selection of crisp salads and light appetizers designed to complement the charred, chewy textures of the dough. The open-kitchen layout emphasizes the speed of the cooking process while maintaining focus on quality dough fermentation and ingredient freshness. This approach ensures consistent results for individuals seeking a quick, standardized meal that adheres to traditional pizza preparation methods.
Brigade Pizzeria is widely celebrated for its authentic, high-quality wood-fired pizzas and exceptional crust, with many patrons comparing the experience favorably to dining in Italy. The atmosphere is frequently described as cozy, warm, and inviting, making it a popular destination for both casual meals and celebrations. While the vast majority of guests praise the staff for being exceptionally friendly, attentive, and professional, a small number of reviews mention challenges with occasional staffing shortages and slower service speeds during busy periods. Despite these isolated instances, the consensus remains overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the restaurant as a must-visit spot in Montreal for those seeking delicious food and a welcoming environment.
I'd like to start to talk about the service first, upon arrival we were greeted with a very warm welcome of Patrick, he made all whole experience amazing by his professionalism & hospitality, a big thank you to him.
The food was awesome, the Detroit pizza was so delicious, the original pizza was also so good, the dough is perfect, they import flour from Italy & the dough making process takes time 48 hours! They make everything from dough to the sauces & burrata cheese min house. We were served quite fast & enjoyed our meal a lot. It's a place that you just visit!
I ordered the Margherita pizza & it was excellent - made with fresh ingredients & full of authentic Neapolitan flavor. You can really tell the quality in the dough & the simplicity of the toppings. The service was quick & efficient, which I appreciated. The atmosphere wasn't really my style, but overall, a great spot if you're looking for delicious pizza & fast service.

What a great place to go for good pizza. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic. You got to watch them prepare the pizza right in front of your eyes. They rolled the dough, topped the pizzas & tossed them in the oven.
The pizzas were very good & prices were acceptable.
The staff were wonderful. They were there is you needed anything, but didn't hover to bother you. We had a chance to have great conversation with the family, without constant interruptions from the staff.
Their portions were good. We had three pizzas for two adults & two teenagers, & we all left stuffed.
If you are looking for great, not greasy pizza, then definitely hit this place up.
Great location, very warm & welcoming... lots of seating... it's pizza focused & has primarily Neapolitan style pizza... basically means thin crust oven baked... dough & marinara are very good... cheese is ok... nothing outstanding... they also have Detroit style deep dish pizza... but note.. this is not made fresh.. it's pre made & reheated .. was expecting it out of the oven, out of the tray freshly made.. it was not... still good just not as expected or what price would dictate... staff are very nice.. 10/10... but the restaurant looked as if it hadn't been cleaned recently... floors dirty & bathroom a no go zone... that's a deal breaker on recommendations... good luck.
I visited Brigade Pizzeria MTL for dinner on a Friday night during a recent solo trip to the city & it did not disappoint! I ordered the Brooklynn pizza with a side of garlic knots & marinara. The garlic knots were doughy with just the right amount of flavour.
The portion size was generous. The pizza was also delicious. I particularly liked the sesame seeds on the crust, which gave it a little extra flavour. It also have just the right amount of wood-fried flavour. The pepperoni was tasty with a little bit of spicy. I wasn't expecting to have enough food for my lunch the next day, but my order would definitely feed two people. The service was excellent & the waitress brought a water pitcher to my table which I really appreciated. This is a cute little spot with a homey feel & atmosphere. It was so much fun to watch the workers get the pizzas ready. The one small complaint I would have was that it was quite chilly sitting close to the door.
Ordered a pizza for takeout online. Upon arrival I am told they didn't have the dough & my pizza wasn't made. "we usually call when this happens but we're busy".... Ooof. I ended up getting a different pizza & it was good, so that was ok.
Used to be a great pizza in a casual atmosphere (see update below) The dough has the right crunchiness, the tomato sauce is tasty without being acidic, & there's a huge variety of toppings to choose. Price is average. One of my favorite pizzerias in Montreal. Update: came back to the pizzeria after some years, & I'm disappointed. The pizza has very little cheese (it seems like a new "fashion" in Montreal where restaurants put small amounts of cheese & call it "Napolitano" style). The pepperoni was too spicy. Not coming back.
The concept changed a little over the years, but their pizzas are definitely among my favorites of all times. The dough is amazing & pizzas are cooked in a wood oven which gives it a nice charred taste. My go-to when I'm downtown for sure.
