Marconi Pizzeria is a beloved staple for many, offering classic old style pizza with generous toppings and a crust that blends crispness with softness. Reviews praise rich cheese, flavorful sauce, and a menu that includes satisfying subs, with some calling it the best pizza in Montreal and a nostalgic reminder of traditional Italian pie. At the same time, several diners note price increases and value concerns, and a number report inconsistencies in delivery temperature or crust thickness. The fries are frequently praised, and service is described as fast and friendly, though some orders arrive tepid or with toppings not exactly as ordered. Overall, Marconi Pizzeria is viewed as an institution and a reliable option for sharing large pies, even as patience with rising prices and occasional quality fluctuations remains a common theme.
First visit there tonight.
What I got: 12" All-dressed pizza with extra olives & mushrooms. I ate the first slice there, to get the best possible fresh & hot experience.
Good Pizza. Could be AWESOME with easy changes.
Pros: VERY Generous toppings, REALLY hot out of the oven, cheese nicely browned, with the classic pizza dough ball in the center to prevent the box from sticking to the pie!
They even added masking tape to keep the box secure during transport. I appreciate this attention to details.
Cons: The juices from all the toppings made the dough really soggy it just tore apart when cut. Don't even try eating this without a plate & utensils.
Can't taste (or hardly see) the tomato sauce in there. Sauce is what makes a pizza stand out, & it's an easy fix at home with a pizza sauce &/or hot sauce or spicy oil. Still, we shouldn't have to doctor a pizza to really enjoy it. I wish they'd try a classic tomato pizza sauce recipe. Pizza sauce should be thick enough to stay where's it's spread.
This pizza had a few spots of hazy pink over the dough, making the sauce...an imprint of a ghost of a flavor.
There was too much cheese in my opinion. It became this thick rubbery layer that fought the other textures & flavors for attention. I love pizza mozzarella, but this was way too much.
I'll order from there again, it would be very practical when I shop in the area. It could easily become a craved favorite, if only the cons listed above were addressed.
Deliciously warm pizza served here.
Decided to dine in at nighttime after searching for Montreal pizza recommendations. I noticed this name popped up & it caught my attention by the amount of popularity it received.
& boy was the popularity justified.
One of the unique things about this pizza place is that they serve something called pizzaghetti. Which is pizza & spaghetti combined in one. Super cool idea, not sure where it originated but I'm glad it has been established here too in Montreal!
Although the pizzaghetti was tempting, I decided to go with the classic pepperoni option & save the new for another time. My +2 went with the bacon option. Something cool that the pizzeria permitted us to do is to split the entire pie into 2 sides. One side with only pepperoni & another side with the bacon. Super cool of them for that.
The pepperoni slices were awesome. The actual pepperoni had the original taste that is derived from the pork itself. As soon as you taste it, your taste buds will recognize it. Even on the pictures, the meat looks different from other typical pizzeria places. The meat, & the cheese is what sets Marconi's apart from the rest. As well as the pizzaghetti option of course.
For the cheese, it was smooth & the texture, well, cheesy. It definitely added a joy to the dining experience.
The appearance of the food was a light golden brown shine. Quite the attractive design.
The ingredients, organic, & taste fantastic.
Excellent old school pizza. They even had the dough ball in the middle. Ordered all dressed pepperoni & plain cheese all three were very good. No complaints will be back for sure. Raised prices & smaller pizzas. You are taking clients for a ride. Will no longer be a customer.
C’est encore la meilleure pizza « en ville » depuis mon enfance des années 1970-80 ! Je n’hésitais pas à la recommander & c’est encore le cas. Situé à la même enseigne, ça valait notre détour pour un « emporter » jusqu’à Laval.
The pizza is delicious & generously topped! The service has always been very nice & efficient. The only little thing, cause I know some people care about these things, the restaurant itself is a bit dated & may need an update.

Mauvaise expérience service après un erreur sur ma commande: On ne s'excuse même pas, on nous tutoie & nous rétorque "Qu'on ne peut pas faire de miracle".... J'ose espérer que celui qui m'a répondu si cavalièrement n'étais pas le gérant. Vous venez tout simplement de me perdre comme client.Mardi 14 Août 2018 20:18:00
