Pizza Spanos receives high praise for hearty pizzas with generous toppings, a flavorful crust, and a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere powered by fast, friendly service; the menu extends beyond pizza to include subs, salads, pasta, chicken dishes, and even poutine, with the deluxe signature pie commonly highlighted for its abundant toppings; most reviews note good value and consistent quality, though a few diners mention a crust that can feel pastry-like or a pizza that is somewhat sweet, and a hamburger item that some found average; overall the restaurant is regarded as a West Island standout and a reliable go-to for pizza lovers.
Classic Montreal pizza. Much better alternative to the big chains. Have a look at the walls when you're there. Plenty of history & being part of the community.
I take kids there on most weeks for pizza. Staff is super friendly.
There are good non-pizza alternatives as well. The chicken pita is a favourite & even the fries have a old school flavour to it.
Only having heard about their pizza & how amazing their pizza are; finally got to try it for the first time & didn't disappoint. Friendly staff & quick & easy pickup & delicious pizza!

They serve heavily coated frozen fries instead of real potato fries. You're eating more fried batter than actual potato. They taste processed & artificial. Disappointing.
Food. Fresh as can be, well plated, good portions, & excellent value.
Service. Always warm, friendly, helpful, & knowledgeable about the menu items.
Atmosphere. This is kinda like an old school pizza joint jacked up a little with lots of Hockey memorabilia decorated around the store with a few nice big screens.
I have been eating here for some time now & can confirm that this place delivers a consistent product. Quality, taste, portion, freshness & more every time I eat here. This speaks volumes about the management & ownership & the pride they take in serving quality food for their clients.
Their speciality has to be their pizzas. Every pizza has excellent sauce (I prefer to have them add a little extra as I find it a little too dry otherwise), & the pizza is smothered with lots of high quality cheese without be overly oily. I am generally not fond of a plain cheese pizza & usual order all dressed or pepperoni & cheese, but here I love their simply delicious cheese pizza. Now, add on additional toppings & it takes it to new levels as their topping are excellent & good portions of them on the pizza.
Their fries are frozen but they are yummy & personally like when they make them more well done.
Their club sandwich is as good as it's going to get with lots of chicken & filled with all their other goodies. It's a big sandwich & the side of fries that's included is awesome to dip into the mayo as I do with the sandwich itself.
Another item in the best list are the subs. These are old school with great toppings & lots of them, packed with meats (the Spanis special is the best) & grilled on the flat top with cheese & lettuce & tomatoes with seasoning & dressing to die for.
Their souvlaki is as good as any Greek restaurant in Montreal be it the stick or pita format.
The only weak area they have is their hamburger. I personally would not order this again as it was average to slightly below average. I would say to remove it from the menu or change the meat to something else. The burger is no better than average & is a bit of a let down given the high level the other foods score at. Perhaps the meat prepackaged frozen - I don't know. But a fresh smash burger is within their wheelhouse & easy to make given they have a flat top.
The place is clean as are the washrooms. The kitchen is also well maintained. They do sell alcohol & mixed drinks. Oh, & they also sell BRIO - I love this beverage.
So all in all, yes, a definite return & also a destination place as I'll happily go out of my way to eat here.
The pizza is really delicious. We also appreciate how they handled our misunderstanding with our order. They're really nice & friendly. It's our first time visiting the city & ordered pizza after a long drive & we're happy we choose Pizza Spano.
We went to Pizza Spano the first day we were in Montreal. We had poutine & veggie pizza. We had never had poutine before, but after we tried it, we saw why it was very hyped up. Poutine is french fries topped with gravy & cheese curds, & it was served hot, & is a perfect meal for anyone. We also had a veggie pizza. It was served hot with many types of vegetables. The service & atmosphere was great & it was a great place overall. If you are in Montreal, I recommend to eat at Pizza Spano.

Meeting friends here quite regularly. Family owned & operated with owner in the kitchen & it shows. Meat lovers pizza was delicious & the dough was excellent. Fries were hot & crispy but not oily. Service was friendly & attentive. The girls there are excellent at taking care of the customers. Highly recommended.
We usually go Monday nights. It's not as busy & since we're 10 people it's easier to get served. My wife has an all dressed pizza & I have a club sandwich. Our friends have pizza or pasta or subs. Good service, good food & excellent prices no matter what you order. Their pizza is excellent. My friends drive in from St-Laurent just to have their pizza.

Sun Nov 5, 2023. Cozy atmosphere, hockey theme, clean, spacious, neat. Fries were amazing, yellow colour, not burned, not sweet potatoes. Chicken burger was amazing, grilled not fried. Pizza dough was really nice, generous on the ingredients. Great service, very friendly. Overall, it was a really nice experience. PS is now our go-to pizza place.
