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.
We just had a family lunch at this fabulous restaurant. The staff & the owner were super kind. They brought us a couple slices of cheese on the house to try. & they even replaced an olive oil bottle that we purchased, but broke by accident.
Highly recommend. Amazing pizza. Especially the margarita pizza was phenomenal.
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 .
By far the best pizza in the west island, all 6 of us were blown away on how good it was the pizza! Super friendly staff & even the owner came to see us twice to talk to us, very nice guy! Would recommend that place to anyone that wants to have a good pizza!
I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. The owner of the restaurant is a very rude & ill-mannered man, & the restaurant employee delivered my order cold after 20 minutes.
Best pizza ever tasted! From the salad to the dessert, everything was so tasty! Great service. The chef was so nice & welcoming. Definitely recommend this place.
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.

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!).
the pizza is amazing, would recommend 100%. Customer service is A1, other businesses should really take notes. Everyone is super friendly & want to make sure you're being well taken care of. We ordered the cup & char pizza as well as the margherita, both, chef's kiss! We also tried their crema cafe which is highly addicting, no idea how they do it, if I worked there, I would be eating it all day...
This place has one of the best pizzas i ever had. Their hot honey pizza is incredible as well as their margarita. I also tried their crema caffe & it's addictive if you are a coffee lover. 100% recommend if you are looking for a good pizza spot. Their service ? Top notch. I'll definitely go back 😋😋
Amazing amazing pizza & cannolis in the West Island!!! We are from Toronto & heard such good things from our family in Montreal & Cugini's did not disappoint. Grandma slices are comparable to New York slices, & the cannoli is hands down the best cannoli I have ever had - even ones from Italy! Also the portion sizes are huge. 100% recommend & this will be a staple every time we are in Montreal now.

I want her because one of my friends recommended it. The service was too good. When we were paying the bill at the counter, the chef/owner (don't exactly know who) asked us if we liked our food & was too sweet to give us the Granny pizza slices to try for free. Food was great. Garlic knots was something that I have never tried elsewhere & it was awesome. Tiramisu was amazing too.
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.
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.
