Reviewers note consistently fresh, house-made bread and high-quality ingredients across a simple, well-balanced menu of panino favorites such as cotoletta, porchetta with spicy peppers, caprese, and burrata with pesto. Candy peppers, marinated onions, and light slaws are often highlighted as perfect accents, and the bread is frequently described as the star. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming with a retro vibe, and the staff are praised for friendly, efficient service and fair prices; the spot is seen as a welcome addition to the neighborhood and a great option for a quick, flavorful meal. A few reviews mention occasional inconsistencies, like uneven topping distribution or one sandwich with an overpowering cabbage flavor, but these are outnumbered by praise. Overall, Pisa Panino is considered one of the top sandwich destinations in the area and a must-try for lovers of Italian panini.
Delicious sandwich: the bread 👌🏻, la garniture: fresh & well balanced! I had the caprese pisa: the marinated onions, the fresh creamy burrata, the sweet cherry tomatoes with delicious pesto were a match made in heaven!
Love the spot, love the street, love the neighbourhood.
Simple & concise menu no fluff no theatrics but an amazing panino. Great bread & well balanced ingredients make this one of the better more refined sandwiches in the city. Prices are super competitive too. Highly recommend.

Ordered the porchetta with spicy peppers & the Classico. Bread is very fresh & ingredients too. Service was also fast! Everything made to order & you can tell they care about the quality of the ingredients. Price is also very reasonable. My favourite was the porchetta with then spicy peppers. It balanced the sandwich out well. Would come here again!
Tried the porchetta sandwich, really delicious. The house-made bread is light, chewy & crusty with the sesame exterior which compliments the sandwich well. The cabbage slaw inside had a hint of sweetness with the vinegar which added a nice contrast to cut the richness of the pork. The value is also a bonus, only 12$. Would come back!

Great little spot to stop & get a sandwich. Flavour combinations are on point & bread is made fresh daily. The pesto on the caprese was incredible. Friendly staff & good prices too. Overall a great addition to saint viateur! We will be back ☺?
Uneven distribution of toppings on the sandwich, thin, dry soggy chicken cutlet. The sauce isn't tasty. Had multiple dry bites of only bread & chicken… a very disappointing experience vù le hype. At least the bread was good hence the 2 stars even if it only deserves 1
Absolutely amazing paninoteca!
The food is always fresh & made with so much love. The bread is perfectly toasted, the ingredients taste super high-quality. The staff is friendly, fast, & welcoming, & the place has such a cozy vibe. I've tried a few different items & every single one has been delicious. Highly recommend if you're craving something delicious!

Sandwiches are great, the bread is delicious, ingredients simple but fresh. The staff is welcoming & friendly. Love the ambiance, has that old school feel with the vintage Bob Barker in the background. Definitely recommend & can't wait for my next sando
Unfortunately, Pisa Panino sandwiches were kind of disappointing. Especially after trying some of their competition in Montreal, such as great sandwich places like Kahwa Café, or even right next-door at Café Club Social, where the bread comes out hot & you have unlimited free water to drink, & a bathroom to use, (all things that Pisa Panino sadly fails to offer). Unfortunately at Pisa Panino, the bread & its fillings were far from satisfying, & come in a paper wrapping that's so soggy it practically disintegrates right into your sandwich, mixing in with your food.
The atmosphere, the service, the quality & taste. Pisa nailed it! As soon as you open the door you walk into a cute & super clean little shop, instantly transported to Italy with the retro radio playing Italian music, & greeted by friendly staff.
My wife & I had the Cotoletta sandwich (highly suggest adding the candy peppers, bomba, & eggplant), & the Caprese Pisano (vegetarian), both were absolutely fantastic! The sesame bread, the cutlets, the burrata, everything made in house & super fresh.
Perfect addition to Saint-Viateur St paired with the local Italian cafe nearby, another staple for MTL. Will definitely be returning, highly recommended!
