Reviews portray Pan Américan Pizza as a place where the pizza quality remains a standout even as the vibe has shifted under a new model, with pan pizzas that are bold, flavorful and creatively topped, from pepperoni and mushroom to riffs like soupe à l'oignon pizza and burrata combos. The service model now emphasizes paying up front, minimal in-person service, and no alcohol, with meals served on plastic trays and a more casual, fast-food feel that some describe as less like a traditional restaurant and more like a neighborhood hangout. The terrace and street setting earn praise for ambiance in good weather, though space is limited and the overall experience can feel uneven depending on who is serving. While the pizza itself is repeatedly praised, some reviews note oiliness, uneven crust texture, or burnt pepperoni, and there are calls to bring back vegan cheese and more generous portions. Beyond pizza, croquettes, fries and salads receive strong marks, and many readers highlight attentive staff and a welcoming, lively atmosphere even if the format is different from before. Taken together, Pan Américan Pizza appears as a bold, crowd-pleasing spot for casual meals and groups seeking inventive pies and a fun vibe, with the caveat that it may not suit those seeking a classic sit-down dining experience or a romantic date night.
The pizza was fresh & so filling. I highly recommend the All Dressed pizza as well as the Canadian pizza. I live in Seattle but will definitely be coming back here on my next visit to Montréal.
A découvrir! Petit resto caché dans le Mile Ex! Très sympathique endroit! Sans prétention! Recommande de partager une pizza & prendre une entrée sauf si on veut en rapporter... Croquettes de cacio pepe & la pizza soupe à l'oignon étaient très bonnes!

Based on the social media content I've seen about this place, I was expecting it to be much more delicious.
I'm assuming it was the kind of pizza I ordered (the vegetarian one) which is not their most popular.
It seems like they didn't pre-cook the veggies that go on top cause the center of the pizza was still wet & more raw tasting.
When veggies are cooked raw on a pizza, they release more water which makes the pizza more wet than it should.
I am open to try their brunch menu or another pizza to understand more of the hype.
It was my favorite pizza but they no longer offer vegan cheese 😩
Please offer it again!!
Edit: Oh my god!! Just saw your reply & I'm so happy. When I called, it sounded like it wouldn't be offered again. It's my favorite pizza! I crave it all the time so I'm glad it's back! Thanks
Pan American is always a great & comforting spot. I've been here a few times but honestly take out or Uber Eats is pretty great as well.
I ordered the double pepperoni & it didn't disappoint. SO MUCH PEPPERONI! I love the crispy bits! I also ordered the Caesar salad which was great, fresh crisp lettuce, creamy dressing & bacon bits.
A good spot for some greasy filling pizza.

Wow, the vibes here have really changed. The pizza was still quite good, but it's worth knowing that Pan American must be going with a new businesses model. I've been here many times & it was totally different from the usual restaurant vibes that I've come to expect. The pizza was great, but don't expect it to be how it used to.
Firstly, there are no waiters anymore, you just pay up front at the till. The staff don't serve or interact with you anymore really, it was just a few teenagers in the back hanging out & doing their own thing jamming to the same Spotify playlist on repeat, no attention given to guests. Felt like eating in a Dominos rather than a restaurant.
They also don't serve alcohol anymore, which was unexpected as they always used to have wine & beer. & when the food finally arrived, it was served on plastic cafeteria lunch trays? The food used to be served on actual dishes by a waiter, so again, unexpected. There were two other tables there & they were both upset about this - the guy right next to us had brought a business partner & was apologizing saying that it used to be an actual restaurant. Behind them was a couple that was vocal about being disappointed with their date night.
The pizza itself was still great, flavourful & a great texture. The pepperoni used to come with a ranch dipping sauce & didn't this time but that's fine. You should eat here, it's good pizza. But don't be expecting to eat at a sit down restaurant with service. I was quite disappointed by the experience but I'm glad the pizza is still solid. But to be honest, I will probably not eat here in person again. I might order, but part of the appeal was eating at a pizza spot with great service & vibes. Again, you should try this pizza. But probably not the ideal spot for a date night or something like that.
Nous avons commandé a la livraison & la seule raison pour les deux étoiles sont attribuables au prix puisque nous avons eu une promotion, mais encore là catne justifie aucunement... Avant de laisser mon review j'ai bien vu comment le propriétaire répond à ceux qui n'ont pas apprécié. Bref, je suis prête. La pizza est over huileuse c'est incroyable la quantité de gras, ca transperce la boite de la pizza & directement dans le sac. Jai demandé extra sauce tomate & on va se le dire c'était quand meme ultra sec, la on on dira pas que le jus de fond de boîte c'est de la sauce absolument pas c'est 100% de l'huile. Ensuite, ce n'est pas ma première pan... Cest pas normal tout ca, sans compter que le pepperoni était ultra brûlé. Je ne recommande pas du tout.
Une 1e expérience un soir d'hiver enneigé..., Je recommande cet endroit, la pizza est différente & surtout excellente. Quant au service chaleureux reçu de madame Claude, ça vaut 5 étoiles! !

Cute but too much rave about it. Service was okay, not very professional. Cook cooking with lights so dim. A little weird being in that field myself. Pizza was good (had the pep) but nothing to run for. Salad very boring & too expensive for the size. Loaded fries were okay but cheese could have been a little melted, was super cold. A little overpriced for what you get. Better places to try & better pizza not far away. Cute to maybe pickup if you like deep dish.
Could be the best pizza I have ever had...Do not be fooled by its 6' Diameter, this pizza has more weight than any 10' local pizza or even a 12' dominos.
Crispy Pep, nice think crust, my GF had the mushroom pizza, was outstanding. Even the Caesar salad was 10/10. Impressive
Excellente expérience au Pan Américan! La nourriture était délicieuse & le service exceptionnel. Un grand merci à Charlotte, une serveuse attentionnée & souriante qui a rendu le repas encore plus agréable!
Que dire de cet endroit: une pure merveille. Nous remercions Mathieu Pellerin pour cette découverte sans précédent qui est un INCONTOURNABLE à Montréal. Service incroyable & bouffe absolument décadente. 15/10.
RESTAURATEUR INCROYABLE! Nous sommes arrivés alors que le restaurant était fermé, ils nous ont acceuillis a bras ouvert & ont été absoluement incroyables. Nous avons savouré une entrée & une pizza soupe à l'oignon absoluement DIVINS. J'aurais mis 10 étoiles si j'avais pu. Si vous hésitiez, allez-y, tout simplement.
