Across the reviews, Pizza Bouquet is praised for true New York style pizza with a crisp bottom crust, a well balanced sauce, and toppings that feel fresh and generous. Standout slices like potato, cherry bomb, sopressata, pickle and margarita get frequent shout outs, with many calling it the best NY style pizza in Montreal and even among the top pizzas in the city. Value is a common thread, with large slices and affordable prices, though the shop is small, seating is limited and lines can be long during peak times. Service is typically friendly and welcoming, but a few comments point to uneven counter service or slow experiences when busy, and a few delivery orders have fallen short on freshness. Taken together, Pizza Bouquet comes across as a beloved neighborhood spot for pizza lovers, delivering consistently tasty pies, a warm vibe, and a strong reason to return.
Tried 3 different slices, top one for me was the potato slice. Felt like something new that isn't in rotation much. The upside down pizza lacked the garlic that was the selling point for me. The margarita pizza was nice classic.
I love a pizza that can hold the weight of the toppings, crust tasted nice but fell a bit flat.
The vibe of the place was cozy, not to crowded or over stimulating. Limited seats just around the large windows. Perfect for people watching in the day time or looking at your self when night comes.
Would try again.
Stopped by this place as part of a recent food tour, & honestly I had higher expectations.
The pizza itself was decent, probably one of the better options in the city for by-the-slice. All their slices are NY style, but the crust was lacking a little crunch.
The worst part was the service though. The kid at the front lacked any enthusiasm & when asked what the most popular choice is, said'idk maybe this one'. He did not seem interested in working.
Overall glad we tried it, but with other options in Montreal it will be a long time before I'm back.

Pizza Bouquet serves some of the best pizza I've had in Montreal-delicious & impressively close to classic New York-style. The crust, sauce, & toppings are spot on. My go-to is the pepperoni pizza, & it never disappoints. A must-try for pizza lovers!
Wonderful pizza choice & quality. Everything about this pizza is great, from the sauce to the crust & toppings. The place is rather small so takeout is recommended in busier times.
This is a place i have mixed feelings about. I have been pretty often, maybe 20-25 times over the last 2 years. On one hand, it can be one of the best slice counter in the city; but it's not saying much, giving the poor level of slices in Montréal. However, on a good day, a fresh slice is usually quite satisfying. The dough is slightly too hard & thick, & the amount of toppings is slighlty too little for that style, so each bite doesn't have the correct balance, can feel pretty dry. Still, it feels like it's made with good ingredients & some love - which is better than 90% of Mtl pizza. Cherry Bomb is a stand out for me.
Now the big problem is the service at the front counter. Service is a lost art in Montreal, & that place is no exception. Slow, nonchalant, cynical attitude, usually by someone with neglected hygiene & looking mildly depressed (last time i went, the counter person was wearing some ironic vintage cap crusted with black dirt, & not from working in the kitchen, it's concerning). Consistent with that anglo hipster-gentrified part of town, serving in french seems to be low on priorities, so if you're a francophone, expect a sort of panic reaction if you address in french. That could be forgiven easily with the right attitude, but with that careless, sloppy energy, it's off-putting.
Pies are not identified on the front counter slice tray, which means each new customer will ask which pizza is which. The clerk will answer with the most annoyed, blasé expression & voice, since they've likely been repeating the same info all day.
All in all, a good spot, but one which could be way better.
3 stars until the service attitude & hygiene gets better!
My go to place for a slice of pizza ! Thin & crunchy crust. On the other hand, I don't like the strong smell when you enter the shop, it sticks to your hair & clothes.
This place knows exactly what they're doing & they know how to do it WELL. We checked it out last Saturday during dinner rush & the customers did not stop rolling through the door. We ordered a pepperoni & ate it on the spot & my GOD was this pizza out of this world. The crust was a perfect thickness & cooked perfectly, so crispy but not burnt. Toppings are generous & the pepperoni ends up as a delicious mix of crispy & greasy. We sat in the place for a while & noticed how the staff & owner interacted with customers & themselves - these guys clearly love what they do, with a special nod to the owner who is serious about quality control (entirely scrapping a pizza because it was too overcooked). So many people coming in seemed like friends of the owner or regulars that have become friendly, which was amazing to witness. These guys, in addition to making INSANE pizza, have created a sense of community inside their small shop. Kudos to these guys. Will be back asap (please put that pickle pizza from your Instagram on the menu, I am DYING to try it).
An absolute gem of a pizza place near Little Italy. They were giving out free roses for St. valentines. Who does that? The pizza is better than a lot of the neighbourhood pizza parlours. Packed every time I go by & the staff are super friendly. Not as rustic as Gema, but a beautiful crust with an amazing pizza sauce (this is what made any of the pizzas we tried next level). Bigger portions, more flavour, & the crust is a little chewier than Gema (which is now my #2 in the area). We had the anchovy pizza. Great. Also the Liz's Veggie which was packed with flavour coming through the olives & there must be something else pickled on there. this so far is my favourite pizza here. Looking forward to trying out the Potato & Pepperoni next time. We appreciate your flavours & service.
