Cugini's Pizza

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!).

When we first walked into Cugini's we were welcomed wholeheartedly & the owner assured us that he could make any pizza we wanted into a foccacia bread pizza. This was our best decision of the night as the anchovie pizza on foccacia was amazing. Not to mention the garlic knots were also outstanding. The hot honey is also a must (amazing to find a hot honey that actually has spice). A little on the pricy side for pizza but if you're willing to splurge a bit it is well worth it

Far & away the best pizza in the west-island Montreal, hands down!

Best pizza in the West Island. Thin crust with a great crunch. The staff there is always very friendly & cheerful. Thandie & the rest of the staff went out of her way to ensure we were happy. Would definitely go back.

We had heard great things about the food so we thought we'd try. I'll agree that the food is absolutely delicious & the service is great too. However, I've never seen pizza sold at this price point before. We usually opt for pizza when we're looking for a yummy cheap option. I'm not sure how they justify the price. We paid 90$ for one large pizza & 6 garlic twist appetizers. There are many quality pizza places around that are more affordable. We left feeling guilty for having spent that much on one pizza & a little cheated. For us this was a one time luxury. $$$

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.
