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

Don't order for delivery. It will come cold & inedible. They cool it way too early, driver waits for it because Arthur make them wait. Look at other delivery driver comments on this restaurant. $45 for a pizza?
We were originally scheduled to eat at the restaurant but plan changed, we changed to takeout. It was a huge success & we were 10 people, we ordered 5 Arugula Salads which were delicious accompanied with margarita, pepperoni, vegetarian, blanco pizzas. Consensus was incredible.
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!
I've always loved Cugini's pizza, but their new mortadella panini is next level. My friend & I tried it for lunch today & it might honestly be the best sandwich I've ever had. Absolute must try!! We'll definitely be back!

Seems everytime I go out of my way to support this local business, they're closed. They couldn't be bothered to update their google opening hours during this period either. Never again, stay closed for all I care.
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.
First time at Cugini's & wow! I had the grandma's pizza.. The flavors are pure harmony, you notice the care, you taste the intention! The rich tomatoes, parmesan & basil, everything balanced to perfection.This is pizza made with soul & with love... simple, honest, & unforgettable. If poetry had a flavor, this would be it. 🍕✨ Grazie Cugini's! Era tutto buonissimo!!!
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 .
Having moved from Montreal to Toronto over 25 years ago, whenever I come back to visit I do the rounds; Kojax, Lafleur's, & of course, TOMATO PIZZA! When I first moved & began my search for tomato pizza in Toronto, they didn't understand & thought I meant sliced tomatoes on top of a pizza lol! I've yet to find any even close to what we are used to here, & Cugini's tomato pizza is on a whole other level & by far the best tomato pizza I've EVER had, & trust me I've had them all! Not to mention the owners are the sweetest & make you feel right at home.. yes there is a piece missing as you can see in my pic, I couldn't wait 😂
