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.
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.

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.
Really great spot, incredible pizza from the crust to the sauce. Real fresh ingredients. The cherry on top of the amazing food was the owner & the service at Cuggini's.
Can't wait to come back!

Not sure if there was ever a eat in option, we've gotten take out every time. Amazing pizza, best in Montreal IMHO. Try it out, worth it!
UPDATE: New location in Pierrefonds is a nice & open space. The pizza is even better when you order it fresh, & GET THE GARLIC KNOTS!
The salads are fantastic, & the desserts are amazing.
But the main draw at Cugini's is undoubtedly the staff. They make you feel like family, & the chef is always happy to share stories, give you a taste, & get to know you.
Give them a try, you won't regret it.
Best pizza in Montreal, maybe even the world! Absolutely incredible. I'm from the States & when I came to visit my girlfriend's family they showed me photos of this pizza & I knew I had to try. It's unbelievable. I knew there was hype & it exceeded my wildest dreams. If you're in Montreal, it's a must - you need to take a trip to the West Island & try what I think is the greatest pizza out there.
The staff are so friendly, the atmosphere is perfect for a pizza spot, & the pizza offerings, as well as their collection of pastas & tomato sauce (& frozen ricotta gnocchi) is amazing. Run, don't walk, to go grab a slice, or an entire pizza.
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!
Went there for the first time, heard of it a while ago but only had a chance to visit yesterday! Cheese pizza was soooooo goood! Amazing business & it looks pretty darn cool too :) PS: Lady that answered the phone was helpful! I had no clue what i wanted at first so she offered us suggestions added in the end we added hot honey to our order yum!

Had a takeout order & never ordered from here before. I've never experienced customer service like this before it was outstanding. Thank you to Tadi (hope I spelled your name right).
Oh right as for the pizza it was unbelievably good. Definitely will be ordering again.
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!!
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.
I have had this restaurant on my list of places to go for a while now I anticipated that this would be my new favourite pizza spot to go to pizza looked really, really good. It was OK. I got the cup & char Grandma. It wasn't amazing. I feel like the marinara sauce was a bit lacking in flavour The dough is really good & well cooked. It was a nice mix of sweet & savory with the hot honey drizzle. It wasn't too overpowering. I might go back just to try another style of pizza to complete my opinion.
Honestly no words to explain. For anyone who's had the best pizzas in New York… Cuginins blows them out of the water. If I could give 100 stars I would!
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!
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. ☺️❤️
