About

Café San Gennaro specializes in authentic Roman-style pizza al taglio, featuring rectangular slices with a characteristically light and airy crust. The menu highlights traditional Italian ingredients, ranging from classic margherita to seasonal vegetable and savory meat toppings. Beyond the savory options, the establishment functions as a dedicated espresso bar that serves high-quality Italian coffee alongside an assortment of artisanal pastries and house-made sweets. Cannoli and bomboloni remain core components of the dessert selection, prepared with traditional techniques to ensure consistent texture and flavor profiles. Patrons encounter a bustling, high-energy atmosphere defined by industrial aesthetics and communal seating arrangements. The focus remains on rapid, high-quality service for those seeking an immediate taste of Rome through both baked goods and layered, crispy-bottomed pizza squares sold by weight.

J'ai goûté presque toutes les sortes de pizza de San Gennaro & elles sont toutes incroyables & généreuses. Les bombolones sont excellents aussi, le beigne est fabuleux, mais le remplissage n'est pas toujours égal. Je n'ai jamais mangé sur place mais toujours pris à emporter.

A Roman style pizza. Pizza was great with a focaccia style square crust & fresh toppings. They also have a wide selection of drinks.

Consistently the best pizza I've found in Montreal. I frequently bring their large pizzas to parties & they are devoured by grateful guests.
