Pizza Bouquet serves classic New York style pizza in a small, no-frills spot where the crust is crisp, the dough is light, and the sauce and toppings are well balanced, with several reviewers calling it the best slice in Montreal and noting affordable prices and quick service. The vibe is casual and unfussy, with friendly staff and a steady flow of fresh slices, including standout variations like potato, sopressata and cherry bomb, though some guests mention occasional inconsistencies in doneness and slower counter service during busy times, and a wish for more sustainable plates. Overall, Pizza Bouquet comes across as a reliable go-to for authentic NY flavor, with generous portions and good value that keep people coming back.
Pizza is such a sensitive topic & I will admit it is incredibly difficult to review a slice that was just chilling in the display. It was warm, it had a very nice crust, the sauce wasn't too over the top, it was seasoned well & just the addition of the pesto had given it a herbaceous bite. I would go back to try other slices or a full pie.
Being from NY I always look for the best pizza places when I'm somewhere else. This pie was very good! I'd say the flavor was the best part, the toppings balanced each other well, the sauce was tasty, & the finishing grated cheese added a nice flavor. The dough tasted very bready in a good way, but texture wise wasn't too bready. The one somewhat negative thing I will say is that I wish they let it cook for another minute, was lacking a bit of crisp/crunch. It seems their pizza doneness are somewhat inconsistent. The pizza's they were selling for slices had a range of how cooked they were, some that looked like mine & some cooked a bit longer like I would have wanted my pie to be. But overall very solid.

A great pie, we got a large margherita. As good as I've had in Montreal. Prices are pretty good. I would definitely recommend & will be coming back for more.
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 top new favorite places to go for pizza when I am in the area. This place sells out their pies. Dave from Bar Stool who does pizza reviews should come here & give this place a try.
One of the best pizzas we have ever had. In the top 2 so far! Great price & delicious. They were super accommodating as well by slicing the pieces for us.

One of the best pizza spots in montreal. Have been eating this pizza since back in the day at NDQ, so great to see all their success. Easy, thin, crispy, perfect amount of flavour in the sauce & good quality cheese. Always hits, & you always know what you are going to get. For a White pie- recommend the potato. Also love the upside down pizza, cute & tasty. One note, you must call WAY in advance to get your hands on a pie. If not, walk right in for a slice.
