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.

I work in delivery. The staff greeted me very kindly. I had a large order, but thanks to the staff, the wait was very pleasant. I was offered a cup of coffee & treated to a donut with pistachios. It was really very tasty & it was nice to see the cute smiles of the team working in this wonderful establishment. Thank you all for your work❤️Sincerely, Maria🇺🇦

27 CAD before tip to pick up & take home 3 meatless pieces of pizza al taglio (margherita, marinara & cacciocavalo) plus a pistacchio bombolone. Came out to around 33 CAD because of course i won't deprive staff of a normal tip just for working at such a place. For that price, I was expecting incredible food. It was fine... Was quite disappointed considering all the amazin reviews. I should have gotten a full pizza instead, looks like it would have been less expensive than 3 separate pieces & i would have gotten far more for the price. So do NOT get by the slice. Not worth it here for that!!

Meh, not sure what the fuss is about. I've had better pizza in Montreal. & $15 for two pieces of counter service reheated pizza is more than I'm willing to pay unless it's much tastier than this.

Definetly one of the best places for pizza in mtl. The crust & bread has that stone baked taste which is great & the ingredients are fresh & tasty. The Margarita, pepperoni, & marinara pizzas were fresh & delicious. Cannolis also very good. Price a bit pricey.
