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.
I wanna come back to this page every week to re-rate this place 5 out of 5.
OG good-hearted people listening to usually pretty good music serving the best slice in Montreal at a improbably low price (in this economy?!) One of the many insane quality adresses in a 200m radius.
Cherry bomb to start, potato to cool off. But also literally anything else, they're all great.
Tried out this place & was pleasantly surprised.
Pizza was pretty good. Way better than any pizza chain in Montreal. They have a nice variety & you can buy slices.
There was a pretty big line when we got there but service was surprisingly fast.
The place is really small so I would not go as a group if you are planning to eat there.

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!
Good pizza. I'd visit again if in the area. Really enjoyed my slice. But for those of you saying it's the best NY slice in Montreal you need to go to Welldun in Verdun.
Never disappointed by Bouquet! I always stop by to pick up a slice or a full pizza. The dough is light, & the sauce is flavorful without being too acidic. My boyfriend & I love ordering a half pep /half veg pizza. A must-try!
I'll be honest - the first few visits here. I just didn't get the hype. The fault was completely with me, Pizza Bouquet simply makes the best pizza in the city & arguably one of the best slices outside of New York City. That slice in issue is called the upside down. Again, the first time I had it I didn't get it. Now, every couple days, I'm a regular mostly for that slice. It's kind of beyond description except that it's like an upside down slice of pizza as far as the toppings go. Just try it & I think you'll understand why it's deeply exceptional. The people are great & always super friendly & it's a wonderful place to sit down & enjoy your slice. It really is a neighborhood gem not to miss.
