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.
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.
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.

Absolutely one of my favourite if not favourite places to get pizza in the city. Amazing dough, sauce, & toppings. Do keep in mind food may take 1-2 hours during dinner rush.
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!

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.
The best Italian pizza in little Italy, if you're looking for pizza with the right amount of toppings & the absolute perfect sauce this place is a must . The staff wow dont get me started way to nice & always pay attention to what you want

Pizza bouquet is way over hyped. We went for that reason & pizza was dry with slim toppings. I would not go again. Luckily it wasn't over-priced so I didn't feel doubly cheated. Skip this place altogether.
The pizza is excellent. The sauce is excellent. The toppings are excellent. I love the staff. It's a no frills joint, but you're there for the pizza. Nice change from the traditional Montreal-style pizza. Like others have mentioned, call real early to get an order reserved. They get real busy real quick. Don't be another person that cries & leaves a 1-star review because they couldn't fulfill your last-minute order.
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).
