Reviews present Café San Gennaro as a favorite spot for Roman style al taglio pizza and a tempting lineup of pastries, cannoli, and bomboloni. The pizzas are described as fresh with a light crisp crust and simple high quality ingredients, with favorites like potato and caciocavallo and caprese cited as standouts. The atmosphere is warm and lively, with consistently friendly staff and good coffee, though seating can be tight and lines sometimes form on weekends. A few notes about price and occasional menu or pricing confusion are mentioned, but most feel the value matches the quality. Overall Café San Gennaro comes across as a beloved Montreal staple for a quick, delicious bite with a strong Italian vibe and reliable customer service.
I mean, no explanation is needed. Everything is the next-level good! Even the service; everyone is so nice & kind there, I don't know what is going on!
Love you guys!
Croûte de pizza cuite à la perfection. Sauce tomate quoi goûte l'Italie, café qui vaut le détour, & musique italienne pour contribuer à l'experience. On va repasser parce que c'est un commerce de pit stop a l'italienne.
The pizza was SO SO SO GOOD thick fresh soft crust with amazing toppings. Though, there isn't really anywhere to sit in there. & by the time we got there at 5:30ish, they were out of cannolis. So I guess go early if that's something you'd like!
Loved Café San Gennaro. Great pizza slices, tasty vegetarian options, delicious food overall, & really great service. The atmosphere is warm & friendly too. Highly recommend.
Café San Gennaro est un endroit fantastique avec de la nourriture délicieuse, un excellent service & une ambiance vraiment chaleureuse & conviviale. Leurs pointes de pizza sont particulièrement excellentes, & ils offrent aussi de très bonnes options végétariennes, ce qui permet à tout le monde d'y trouver quelque chose à son goût. Tout est frais, savoureux, & le personnel te fait sentir le bienvenu dès ton arrivée. C'est certain que j'y retournerais. »

A Little Italy & Montreal must visit. Great people working there dedicated to creating the right vibe inside the cafe & outside on the sunny terrace. It's the perfect mix between old school & new school. Get any of the pizza slices & a spro, you can't go wrong!
We loved this place! We thought it was just another pizzeria, but ended up having a very good time & a delicious pizza margarita. The service was great, we'll definitely come back! Grazie!

Delicious pizza romana that highlights the italian tradition of simple, high quality ingredients well paired & prepared with love. The caprese includes perfect blobs of burratta cheese offset by a tart but light tomato base. The cacciocavallo is a masterpiece of comfort food & should be eaten WARM (or reheated) so that the potato layer is soft & gooey under its blankets of smoked cheese.
You will likely see a lineup outside on the weekend but do not be deterred, joy awaits you inside.
The pastries were fine.

Best pizza in town honestly ! Sad that I don't go to Mila campus anymore cause it's on the same street but still worth the detour to
Little Italy just to grab some.
& they are always so nice particularly with tgtg pick up cause most restaurants don't really act nice when you pick up bags but I think they gave me the best pick up experience ever & that what make me come back as a regular customer! Worth every penny!
