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.
Reviews describe Cugini's Pizza as consistently outstanding pizza crafted with care, featuring a deeply flavorful dough and fresh high quality ingredients across a range from New York style to Grandma square pies. Signature pizzas such as Cup and Char, Margherita, Americano, and Nonna are praised, along with popular extras like garlic knots, hot honey, and cannoli. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with attentive staff and a passionately involved owner that gives the place old world charm, making dine in and takeout equally enjoyable. While some notes mention higher prices and occasional wait times, the overall consensus is that the pizza is among the best in the West Island or Montreal, offering a true Italian culinary experience rather than a quick slice.
Germano & Jessica treated myself & my friends as if we knew each other forever. The food is spectacular, the care & dedication to the craft is second to none. The best spot for pizza, & its not even close. Get the Grandmothers square pizza for an out if this world experience
I just came here for the first time on Saturday with family & we had a great time! The staff is happy to serve. Germano, the owner, is the best! What a humble & generous person. He sat down with us & spoke to us like we were his family. He takes pizza making to a whole other level! It shows that he's truly passionate about his craft, that he wants to share his knowledge & give others a culinary experience that they won't forget. We tried the Grandma, Toscana, & the Cup & Char pizzas. Topped with the hot honey & truffle oil…Soo good! The garlic knots were sensational too. I walked out with a fresh baguette, my cousin, a bag of pasta, & my brother bought pizza dough too. Grazie! A presto!

It simply does not get any better than this pizza. As soon as you walk in, you feel the welcoming service. The design, the atmosphere.
Top quality from every angle.
Germano's concept is above & beyond & this is why we choose Cugini's.
I recommend to anyone who wants to live an experience .
Cugini's pizza is simply the best. Be prepared to wait though, with the understanding that the best pizza takes time to create & is lovingly prepared just for you. So enjoy the experience! Germano the owner is very welcoming & takes the time to greet his customers, giving this very modern & unique eatery a touch of old world charm. Very pleasant & helpful staff too! I'm a lifer❤?🍕👌
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.
Need to visit this place for exceptional authentic Italian pizza. A true taste of Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹 Staff is amazing & greet you with a warm smile at all times. Germano you are awesome.

Cugini's prepared an awesome spread for my niece's Prom. Germano (the owner & chef) selects his ingredients himself & food is always so fresh & amazingly delicious!!
Thanks for making Amanda's Prom Day so special!!
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.
What a pleasant surprise this place was. Beautiful, clean, & comfortable. The food was delicious (one of the best pizzas in Montreal) & the service was perfect. Both the waitress (Clara) & Germano (the owner) really charmed us. Keep it up.

Cugini's pizza is fantastic! Maybe the greatest pizza ever! Service was excellent, Germano was awesome, the food man the food was delicious. My wife & really enjoyed Cugini's Pizza & would highly recommend them.
First off, I'm lactose intolerant & it doesn't stop me from going because it's the only pizza I can eat that doesn't hurt my stomach. The staff are simply wonderful & care so much about their clients. The pizza…. Oh the pizza… it's the BEST I have ever had in my life. Even better than when I lived in Italy! I am serious! Cugini's changed my life & my palette. The owner Germano is the kindest soul you will ever meet. He just feels like family & gives back to the community in so many ways. The decor is epic! Stikki Peaches on the walls & the cleanliness of the counters & tables do not go unnoticed. This is now my go to favourite pizza spot. I love it there so much, I asked if I can join the Cugini's family! If you haven't been, stop waiting. You deserve it!
The best pizza in Montreal , maybe even in Canada. Located in the West Island. This is not fast food pizza. These are authentic everything made from scratch pizza. The owner Germano is an Artist. All different types of pizza. Things you will never see in a regular pizzeria. You can dine in or take out both experiences are wonderful. Germano is an excellent host & his staff is the same ,they are excellent hosts. It's like a visit to Italy. Cuginis is Michelin star worthy. A must try.
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!
