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.

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.
I had the Cotoletta sandwich & highly recommend. Sandwich was delicious & ingredients were all very fresh.
Great spot to get a great meal before a nice coffee at Olimpico across the street.
Delicious! Super fresh ingredients. Tried the cotoletta & the caprese, both were great. Burrata is to die for. Really liked the candied jalapenos. Loved the vibe too.
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!
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 ☺?
Incredible new sandwich shop. My first visit was very enjoyable, the panini was fresh & flavorful. The staff was friendly & welcoming from the moment I walked in making the experience even better. This place is a must try!

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
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!
