Pisa Panino is widely praised for fresh house bread, simple but high quality ingredients, and an authentic Italian vibe that makes for standout panini like the cotoletta, caprese and porchetta, with candy peppers and burrata often called out as highlights. The sandwiches are described as delicious, well balanced, and made to order, with friendly service, a welcoming atmosphere, and strong value. While most reviews are glowing, a few note small portions or a loud dining room and one instance of a sandwich that fell short due to cabbage flavor or soggy bread, but the overall impression remains that Pisa Panino is a top choice in Montreal.
Really really good sandwhich. Not the best I've had but it's up there for sure. Not to throw too much shades but I think it's much better than the other nearby option. Salt levels combined with the fresh letuce & the spiciness & acidity of the peppers make it a delicious sandwhich. They make only 4 sandwhiches, which I like. Means I can easily try the entire menu :P
The one thing that would push it to great for me would be for the inside of the bread to be lightly toasted. But I understand with the volume & space they have, it wouldn't necessarily be feasible or praticable to do so.
The sandwiches are a little smaller, but they are also a little cheaper. I had half for lunch & I was satiated. I got the classico.
Delicious sandwiches, however in my opinion, nothing out of the ordinary. The bread was solid, the ingredients were fresh, however a little small on comparison to other sandwich shops in town. Nothing really blew me away or was outright special about what we tried (Caprese & Classic).
Still worth it if you're craving something fresh in the area.

Chicken cutlet sandwich was fantastic even delivered. It was not soggy from too much sauce & perfectly proportioned. Pleasant textural medley & an even better bread than Bossa, my normal go-to. These are fantastic sandwiches, can't wait to try out the rest of the menu!
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.
