Notre chef bien-aimé Germano Mustone possède une richesse de connaissances dans l'industrie culinaire.
Après quelques années en tant que pizzaiolo new-yorkais,
Germano avait pour mission de donner à l'Ouest-de-l'Île un avant-goût de l'Italie avec une touche de New York. Il insiste sur des ingrédients frais, coupés sur commande, avec une sauce italienne authentique spécialement importée et beaucoup d'amour ! Germano et le personnel souhaitent profiter de l'occasion pour remercier la communauté de soutenir notre entreprise.
Les avis sur Cugini's Pizza s'accordent pour décrire une expérience italienne authentique, avec des pizzas préparées à partir d'ingrédients frais et d'une pâte à fermentation lente qui offre une croûte légère et croustillante, une sauce tomate riche et équilibrée et des garnitures généreuses. Le style grand-mère et les pizzas New York style reviennent fréquemment comme points forts, suscitant des saveurs nettes et une impression de cuisine faite avec amour. L'attention portée au détail et au savoir-faire se ressent à chaque bouchée, et l'ambiance chaleureuse ainsi que le service attentif alimentent un sentiment d'accueil familial. Bien que certains avis mentionnent des prix élevés ou des temps d'attente, la qualité et l'expérience sont largement considérées comme justifiant le coût et le délai. Le lieu est perçu comme une pépite du West Island, avec des options sur place ou emporter et des pizzas phares comme Cup and Char, Margherita et Americano, dont la sauce tomate, le fromage et l'harmonie pâte et garnitures font l'unanimité. Dans l'ensemble, Cugini's est vu comme l'une des meilleures pizzas de la région, attirant des clients qui viennent de loin pour goûter une pizza authentique et ressentir une ambiance italienne et conviviale.
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!

If you're looking for a true taste of Italy without boarding a plane, this pizza place delivers exactly that-& more.
From the moment you walk in, you feel the heart behind the restaurant. The owner's story is woven into every detail, bringing a sense of purpose & passion that you don't often find. It's clear this isn't just a business; it's a craft, a tradition, & a dream brought to life.
The ingredients are impeccably clean & thoughtfully chosen, & you can taste the difference in every bite. The pizza is nothing short of extraordinary-perfectly balanced, fresh, & bursting with authentic flavor that transports you straight to Italy. Every slice feels like it was made with care & intention.
The atmosphere is warm, inviting, & perfect for any occasion-whether it's a family dinner, date night, or celebration. The service goes above & beyond, easily a 5-plus experience, with staff who genuinely care about making your visit memorable.
This is more than just a pizza restaurant. It's an experience, a story, & a slice of Italy you'll want to come back to again & again.
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.
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!).
Great pizza! The crust was perfectly baked & the toppings well balanced. A solid pizza with great taste & fresh ingredients. The dough is light & crispy. This is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic pizza.
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.
Cugini's prepared an awesome spread for my niece's Prom. Germano (the owner & chef) selects his ingredients himself & food is always so fresh & amazingly delicious!!
Thanks for making Amanda's Prom Day so special!!

Don't expect to just eat good pizza. It's delicious food that's prepared with 1st grade ingredients. Each pizza has It's own unique flavor. If you eat there for the 1st time, you will want to try the other pizzas right away.
It's good pizza, the best I've had in the West Island. I find the prices are a tad high. I can appreciate good, fresh ingredients. I just can't justify paying $50 for a pizza regularly, it's more for special occasions. I wish it was cheaper, I would order more often. It does take a while if you order for delivery, be prepared to give them at least an hour to make it.
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.

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.

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!
