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.
Excellente pizza style new yorkaise avec plusieurs choix véganes & plus funky; la seule chose est que vous devez appeler le matin pour avoir une pizza entière de votre choix vers le souper; sinon vous devez créer votre pizza entières avec les pointes qui sont dans la vitrine. Il fait aussi TRÈS chaud & c'est bondé de monde pour un si petit espace!

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.
The pizza is excellent. No problem. But the fact that the restaurant goes through 300 plus paper plates & they are not recyclable is saddening. There should be reusable plates for people who eat at the restaurant. It increases the work load, but that's why we tip, & the world could use some ethically & morally upstanding businesses.
Love this place to bits. Pizza is fresh, affordable, & delicious every time. Great spot to unplug & people watch for ten minutes, would come here every day if I could
Delicious pizza 🍕, super friendly staff, nice vibes, I wasn't expecting that spicy Peperonni pizza it was amazing, the sorpressata was also super good.
