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.
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 .

Stopped in from NDG & it was love at first bite. The New York-style pizza was outstanding, with incredibly fresh ingredients that really stood out. The owner's passion is evident in everything-from the quality of the food to the excellent customer service. Both the owner & staff were so pleasant & genuinely enjoyable to talk to, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Thank you, Cugini's, for reminding me that life is better with great pizza made by wonderful people.so happy to find this West Island gem!
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.
Amazing place to grab a slice or sit down with the family for dinner. Every time I take a bite, it just gets better & better. It's no surprise this place is a hit, since the owner is a true representation of the restaurant & its brand. His pride in the shop shows in every detail, from the fresh, high-quality ingredients to the welcoming atmosphere. As a devoted Habs fan, he brings the same loyalty & passion to his pizzeria, & it shows.

What can I say about Cugini's? Their pizza of all kinds are excellent. The dough, the cheese, tomato sauce is of the highest quality - & you can taste it. I bring friends here often & it never disappoints. I strongly recommend the Cup & Char, as well as the cheese, & the Nonna. The cannolis are also very fresh & delicious.
We had heard great things about the food so we thought we'd try. I'll agree that the food is absolutely delicious & the service is great too. However, I've never seen pizza sold at this price point before. We usually opt for pizza when we're looking for a yummy cheap option. I'm not sure how they justify the price. We paid 90$ for one large pizza & 6 garlic twist appetizers. There are many quality pizza places around that are more affordable. We left feeling guilty for having spent that much on one pizza & a little cheated. For us this was a one time luxury. $$$
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!
Wow! The pizzas here are next level. Every dish was incredibly fresh, bursting with flavor, & clearly made with the highest-quality ingredients. The owner is truly one of a kind. Very respectful, friendly, passionate about his restaurant & the food. You can feel the love & pride that goes into everything he does. The staff gives impeccable service & are genuinely invested in making sure every guest has an unforgettable experience. Will definitely become regular clients there.

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.
I am always looking out for a proper pizza place that is worth it but today
I have tried a pizza called:
Grandmother (Nonna) & let me tell you it was like heaven.
The quality was amazing, Best pizza I've ever had & trust me I've had a lot.
The moment you take few steps in, you feel the good vibes already, specially with an amazing lovely staff that is so nice & friendly.
Believe me when i tell you money well spent if you want quality pizza, its 100% worth it even if you think it's a bit more expensive than others but you are getting the best quality.
I didn't even get the chance to take a picture of the full pizza because it was devoured by the time I tried to.
I will definitely come back as this will be my one & only pizza place,
Strooooongly recommend Cugini's.
This easily is the spot if you're looking for the best pizza in the west island. 10/10. Pizza is made with the highest quality ingredients, staff are always so joyful, ambiance is great.

I really couldn't fathom what could make a pizza do expensive now I understand. I haven't had pizza this good in Montreal ever. Also it's clear they care so much about customers & quality. The interfaces are crag & when our Uber driver arrived to pick it up he didn't have an insulted bag. They cancelled the order, refunded us, & delivered it themselves. We are 1/3 as much as we usually do to feel so satisfied. Try The West Island pizza OMG. Thank you for the best free pizza on earth we will be happy to pay many more times.
Psst the garlic knots - think savoury zeppoli bites. If you are going to go for the calories these are like garlic crack!!
Our fav pizza place in town! We are obsessed with the grandma's cup & char pizza! You can taste the love & quality ingredients in your pizza. They hand make all of them & cook them to perfection, so just make sure to order in advance so that you give them the time they need! You won't be disappointed. Ps.The girls at the front are always so lovely & helpful. ☺️❤️
