Cugini's Pizza is one of the best pizza spots in the West Island. This is not your typical fast-food pizza - you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The dough is light & crispy, the sauce is flavorful, & the toppings are fresh & generous.
We tried a few different pizzas & every one of them was excellent. The ricotta pizza was a standout, & the classic Italian ingredients made all the difference.
The restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly service, & some cool Montreal Canadiens memorabilia that adds character to the place.
If you're looking for authentic Italian-style pizza in the West Island, Cugini's is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back for sure. 🍕🇮🇹🏒
First time trying, but will not be the last. Came in near closing, but the young lady behind the counter was very kind & patient. Always test the margherita first, & it was great. The sauce really made this pizza. It is on the pricier side, but you notice the quality ingredients. She also recommended trying the spicy oil & honey, & both added different types of kicks & elevated the crust. It is worth the detour, will return & appreciate the great service!
We popped by for a quick bite & to try them for the first time. We took 2 small pieces of their square pizzas. We are hooked!! We ended up buying lots of other stuff including a baguette, some honey, olive oil, pasta sauce....to bring home. The food was around $25 to$ 30 I think
The young lady who served us was super friendly, helpful. & kind.
We will definitely go back & likely often.
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.
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!).
We recently tried Cugini's for the first time after hearing so many great things-& it absolutely lived up to the hype!
We ordered the Three Cheese & Margherita pizzas, & both were outstanding. The tomato sauce was flavorful, & the dough was excellent. One highlight that truly stood out was the Hot Honey sauce for the pizza-sweet & spicy in just the right way.
The customer service was also excellent-friendly & attentive, which made the experience even better.
Cugini's has definitely become our new go-to spot for pizza.
What a pizza man, & what an amazing service!
We just got home from there, literally five minutes ago & first thing I did was writing a review about this amazing place, the crust is absolutely perfect ,the tomato sauce is top quality & it balances very good with everything else.
The service was flawless too, will be coming back for sure every week, keep up the good work guys!
