With the opening of its first restaurant in 1981, La Pizzaiolle was the first restaurant to introduce Montreal to pizza baked in a wood burning oven where a small flame is always maintained evenly browning the tasty toppings. 35 years later, we rethink and evolve our concept. The location in Old Montreal is our laboratory. It offers new recipes, antipasti and Italian-inspired cocktails. This is the first of our three corporate restaurants to live this evolution, we invite you to come discover our new concept and share your experience with us!
Pizzaiolle is described as a consistently excellent dine in or takeout option with pizza hailed as among the best in town, featuring a wood fired crust with a satisfying crunch from semolina and toppings ranging from margherita and quattro formaggi to pancetta and calzone, plus focaccia and desserts like tiramisu and cheesecake. The setting is repeatedly praised for its nice ambiance, the terrace, and a family friendly vibe, with good value and an attentive, friendly service that is often quick but sometimes slower during busy times. The place is accessible with parking nearby and a neighborhood feel that makes it a reliable go to for casual meals, group visits, and takeout, with many customers praising memorable flavors, sauces, and the overall welcoming experience. Overall, Pizzaiolle is seen as a top pizza destination in the area that locals return to and recommend for a satisfying, affordable pizza experience.
I didn't know what to expect. I had 30 mins for my lunch break, chose the closest restaurant to me that looked decent. Ended up here. Thank god because it was maybe the best pizza of my life. The waitress was super hot too. Pretty I fell in love with the pizza & her. 10/10 would go again.
Visited La Pizzaiolle on a hot Saturday afternoon after working nearby. The air conditioning was a welcome relief :) (*they also have a beautiful terrace, but it was too hot to sit outside). The calzone I ordered exceeded my expectations-the dough had the perfect balance of softness & crispiness. Absolutely delicious! Will come back again!

I'll start by saying that both atmosphere & location are good. The service is fast, nothing particular to add. The beer is expensive & definitely not worth it. Tastes like a cheap one. The pizza is the worst part: it was like someone saw a picture of a pizza in a magazine & tried to make one without ever having eaten one. & of course it's overpriced.
I have been eating at Pizzaoile for over 30years, the staff here is lovely & I enjoy bringing my kids 9,9 & 6. The pizza is perfect & hasn't changed taste the same as it did when I was a kid. If you like thin crust, crispy pizza (not quite Napolitain style) this is great. Also their gnocchi is amazing! Vraiment délicieux.

I was a bit disappointed, the pizza dough was very good but the pizza sauce had a weird taste. It ruined the pizza. The atmosphere & service were great. My friends had it before but they said the quality really went down.
