Our beloved chef Germano Mustone has a wealth of knowledge in the culinary industry.
After quite some time as a New York pizza chef,
Germano was on a mission to give the West Island a taste of Italy with a touch of New York. He insists on fresh, cut to order ingredients, with specially imported authentic Italian sauce and lots of love! Germano and staff want to take the opportunity to thank the community for supporting our business.
It’s a pleasure to serve you all!

Cugini's Pizza is easily one of the best gourmet additions to Pierrefonds & Kirkland. Since moving from Beaconsfield, this spot has completely elevated the local pizza scene. The moment you walk in, you can smell the difference. Fresh basil, bubbling cheese, quality olive oil, & the unmistakable aroma of a perfectly charred crust set the tone right away. Every pizza is made with care, tradition, & real passion, & you can sense it before the first bite even reaches the table.
The dough, sauce, & toppings taste exceptionally fresh, & the thin crunchy crust has become a favourite throughout the West Island. Many people, myself included, consider Cugini's the best pizza in the area. The prices are higher than what you find at basic corner pizza shops, but the quality more than justifies it. This is gourmet pizza done the right way.
Germano, the owner, adds a personal touch that shapes the entire experience. He takes pride in every detail, from selecting ingredients to creating a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The decor adds to the charm, with bold Stikki Peaches artwork that gives the space a colourful & creative feel while still keeping the comfort of a neighbourhood restaurant.
The menu is a standout. Their twenty four hour dough develops deep flavour & creates the perfect balance of chew & crunch. Both the classic round pizzas & the Grandma style square pies are must tries. The Pepperoni, Americano, Three Cheese, Il Bianco, & Margherita all showcase fresh ingredients that shine from the first bite. The Grandma square pizzas, especially the Cup & Char version with crispy pepperoni, ricotta, hot honey, & basil, are unforgettable.
Their specialty pizzas show real skill & imagination. Customer favourites include the Vesuvio with bold meaty flavour, the Napolitano with anchovies & fresh herbs, the Rapini with richness & a touch of bitterness, the Portofino with smoky & sweet notes, the West Islander with fresh & creamy toppings, the D.D.O. with deep earthy flavours, the Truffle with indulgent aroma, & the Toscana with a bright & balanced finish. Every pizza feels thoughtful & elevated.
I have eaten pizza in many cities, including Texas, New York, & Toronto. Cugini's is the best pizza I have had in a long time. Pierrefonds & Kirkland truly gained a gem. This is the kind of place you think about well after the meal is over.
Cugini's also offers take home pizza kits, fresh dough, & their house made sauces, which makes it easy to bring their amazing flavours into your own kitchen.

Location: On the West Island. They have a small parking lot that could be busy on weekdays.
The place: This is more of a take-out spot but they do have a few tables if you want to dine in. As someone who's been documenting street art for a while now, I love that Stikki Peaches left his mark on the place (including in the toilettes, where you'll find a paste-up designed by his kid, Stella). Good music, chill vibes.
The goods: If I'm honest, I was keen to try the Stikki Pizza before it disappears in mid-November 😄. My friend ordered the West Island, I think. I have nothing negative to say about their pizza - it's delicious! The crust is thin but perfect (not hard or chewy - just... good), the pizza sauce is great - not acidic at all, & in my case, the limited edition pizza was amazing. I would have liked a bit more pancetta on it but besides that, YUM! My friend also enjoyed her pizza. We both got a cannoli & it was authentically tasty. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their selections.
Service: The first person who served us was rather indifferent & seemed impatient when my friend couldn't decide what to order. Let's just say that I didn't get friendly vibes. That said, we had a completely different experience with'J' (who doesn't want to be called out) - she is super friendly, chatty & funny & we felt right at home with her.
Price point: It ain't cheap - my pizza was $34 which admittedly, is steep for a 12' pizza. That said, you're getting a freshly-made pie with what seemed to be fresh ingredients so I think it's OK to treat yourself once in a while, eh?
I recommend this place (& I vote for the permanent addition of the Stikki pizza to the menu!).

Best pizza in the West Island. Thin crust with a great crunch. The staff there is always very friendly & cheerful. Thandie & the rest of the staff went out of her way to ensure we were happy. Would definitely go back.

Great pizza! The crust was perfectly baked & the toppings well balanced. A solid pizza with great taste & fresh ingredients. The dough is light & crispy. This is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic pizza.

Great pizza. Thin crust no flop. This was the best pizza I have had in possibly ever. Ordered 3 cheese + pepperoni. New location is beautiful. Lots of seating. Great service.

What a pizza man, & what an amazing service!
We just got home from there, literally five minutes ago & first thing I did was writing a review about this amazing place, the crust is absolutely perfect ,the tomato sauce is top quality & it balances very good with everything else.
The service was flawless too, will be coming back for sure every week, keep up the good work guys!

I would like to start by saying the people of the West Island have been given a gift. The gift is the amazing quality of Pizza that Germano & his team serve everyone at Cuginis. Very flavourful , great tasking crust & a warm friendly atmosphere this place has. The customer service is extremely friendly. Everyone welcomes you with a smile & you can tell the staff enjoys working at Cuginis. I myself have been a regular since Cuginis relocated in Pierrefonds , & now my family & their friends have become regulars as well. Today we had two pepperoni pizzas & two Americanos. Everyone loved it. The table couldn't stop ranting about how good the pizza was & how light on the stomach it was. Unlike other pizza places. Cuginis pizza doesn't leave you feeling bloated at all. Germano & his team are true gems.
John
Best pizza with a crust like no other.
Cooked to perfection with the freshest ingredients.
Nicole
Really great spot, incredible pizza from the crust to the sauce. Real fresh ingredients. The cherry on top of the amazing food was the owner & the service at Cuggini's.
Can't wait to come back!
Martine
Wow the pizza is absolutely delicious. Chef Germano was so kind to greet us & explained his slow rising crust & the effects on gluten intolerance… he really did "have me at pizza"! The finest of the ingredients make the pizza out of this world. Thank you such I can't wait to taste the baguette!
