Des pizzas d'une qualité incroyable, de la texture de la pâte aux ingrédients dessus, tout est pensé dans les moindres détails. C'était la première fois que nous y allions, mais vraiment pas la dernière. Alex, le chef est vraiment passionné & ça se ressent ! (Pensez à réserver à l'avance pour éviter le sold out)
I am so disappointed of my experience here... I had great expectations from all the hype, press & reviews this place was getting, so I placed an order for their OG margarita & Capricieuse...
The dough. He allegedly spent 7 years perfecting this as per his interview. The slice did stay straight nicely when holding, the tickness & size of the pizza & crust is overall great. But that's all visual aspect, the moment you bite into it, you get dense bite resistant chew (not the good kind of chewy you'd expect from a pizza), it was gummy. The crust was even worst, it felt like I was eating cardboard. I had a slice at room temp & one re-heated at 425, both gave the same mouth feel. Almost on part with the mouth feel of Dominos...
Sauce. You dont taste it at all, & the cheese is most likely the culprit.
The cheese. The owner is French, & the selection of cheeses he decided on his pizza is clearly influenced by his background. That part is not innately a bad thing, if done right, & I feel like he missed the mark big time on this one. He add a 2 years old Gouda Cheese which add a nutty, funky, salty flavour to the pizza, on the OG Magarita, its not bad, I do see his vision, it adds some depth, but combined with a weak sauce that barely comes forward & a dough that is heavy & dense just does not harmonize.
The Capricieuse was the worst pizza I ever had in my life. On their advertised pictures, it disaplayed a crumbled style goat cheese, what I received seems to be Oka cheese?? See my picture as reference. Nothing like their picture & it was so pungent & funky, it was revolting. You taste NOTHING but that cheese, its too much, as I am writing this, I am starting to think that they did a mistake or might have substituted their goat cheese with whatever this was... I had 2 slices & each bite was just pungent, oily cheese with gummy dough. I had 1 slice & a half & I threw the rest of the pizza in the garbage. I ate at more than 30+ pizza places in Montreal & I never threw an entire pie à la poubelle. The cheese just overwhelmed everything... & I felt scammed to see a pizza with what seems to be the wrong cheese that clearly ruined the pizza.
The French twist to their pizza is just not it. It was heavy & nauseous. It looked like pizza but it was by far from a pizza.
Owner, I need an answer/explanation on my Capricieuse.
