Reviews describe Cugini's Pizza as gourmet with high quality ingredients, a tangy and slightly sweet sauce, and a dough that balances chew and crisp. The crust is thin and crunchy, with both classic round pies and Grandma style square pies that many find exceptional. Guests praise fresh toppings, bold flavors, garlic knots, and optional hot honey that elevates several pies. The owner and staff are frequently called warm, attentive, and welcoming, contributing to a homey atmosphere, though wait times can be long when busy. Some experiences note price being high for what is offered and occasional service hiccups such as requests beyond the menu or takeout packaging, but the overall sentiment is that the pizza is among the best in Montreal West Island and worth returning for, especially for shareable pies and specialty options.
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.
Absolutely fantastic! First time trying this place ! The pizza was delicious… we got the Americano & the west islander. They also provided us with some spicy oils & flavored honey, really nice of them.
The staff is super friendly, & the place is spotless !
First time but definitely not the last, keep up the great work. I will be back soon & often :)
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.
Great authentic pizza. Expensive but worth it. A lot of clients do takeout, I guess to have a warmer atmosphere at home & maybe have a salad -? Just pizza on the menu.
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.
