Pizzeria Dei Compari is widely praised for wood-fired pizzas with crispy crusts and fresh toppings, generous portions, and affordable prices, along with solid pastas and reliable, friendly service that contribute to a lively, authentic Italian vibe. The atmosphere, decor, and summer terrace are frequently highlighted, as are attentive staff, though crowds can lead to wait times and occasional variability in service. Overall, it is viewed as a top pizza option in Montreal and a good value, with some notes about pressure around tipping, a noisy dining area, or occasional menu items not meeting every expectation. The place remains a popular pick for families and friends seeking hearty Italian comfort food.
Looking for good Italian near our hotel & this one got good reviews. We got there about 6 & got a table for 2 right away. I had the snails as an appetizer & we shared a pizza. Both were very good & came out fast. We both left full. It was very reasonably priced with bill coming to under $45 with tip.
found this place while strolling outside on this sunny day. 4stagioni pizza had a thin crust woodoven style with fresh ingredients. tasty, flavourful & reasonably priced. I actually found it super cool that the prices on the menu already include taxes. brazilian coffee on point too. will come back to try another one
Pizzeria de qualité moyenne, j'ai trouvé que la pizza manquait de goût, que ce soit la pâte ou même les ingrédients. Un peu déçu pour un endroit que tout le monde vante. Les prix sont cependant corrects. Service assez lent mais courtois.
Best pizza in town, no joke. They make it in a big fire oven right next to you. You can smell the delicious scent of fresh pizza all through the store. Let me tell you. I'm Italian & I've been to Italy so I know what I'm talking about. This pizza is out of this world. The edges are crisp but tender on the inside with a flavourful dough taste. The toppings are a delectable tornado of flavours no matter the one you pick. The only thing about this restaurant is because of the way it's built the sound reverberates & can become pretty loud if you're sensitive to that like me. But it's worth it for that taste of Italy.

I had a really disappointing experience at this pizza place. The behavior of the staff, especially an older man, was completely unacceptable. We were treated very rudely just because we didn't leave a tip, which should always be optional, not forced.
What made it worse was how disrespectful & aggressive the situation became. It honestly felt like we were being targeted unfairly, & the whole interaction came across as discriminatory & uncomfortable. No customer should ever feel that way while just trying to enjoy a meal.
I would not recommend this place to anyone. Customer service matters, & this place seriously needs to improve how they treat people.
This was honestly a very disappointing experience. The pizza was decent, but the service completely ruined it. The older man attending customers was quite rude & lacked even basic manners. His tone & behavior made us feel unwelcome throughout.
When we didn't respond the way he expected, he became even more dismissive & blunt, which is something you really don't expect when visiting a place for a relaxed meal. Good food can't make up for poor service, & unfortunately that was the case here.
This experience definitely left a negative impression during our time in Montreal. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a pleasant dining experience.
Had the worst experience at this pizza place. Food is ok but the OLD MAN who serves at this place has no etiquettes. He knows nothing about hospitality. He specifically asked us to add tip even though we did not like his service & when we refused, he bluntly said'I am not going to serve you again'. I have never been to a place where servers have this much authority to ask for tips despite of their bad service. This totally ruined our experience of visiting montreal. I would recommend not to visit this place ever.

One of the best Italian restaurants with affordable price. Pizzas & pastas are very good! Nice staff. Service is good. They have a small bar with a variety of Italian alcoholic drinks wine, beer, & other drinks. I've been there more than 20 times, never disappoints! A must-try!!!
My wife & I was staying at the Manoir Sherbrooke hotel & as we were checking in asked about food in the vicinity. & the front desk recommended pizzeria dei compari. Coming from Brooklyn it was cold in NY when we left but a little colder here in Montreal. About a 10 to 15min walk we entered & immediately was greeted & enjoyed great customer service. My wife enjoyed the snail pizza escargot & I had the spaghetti & meat sauce tasty! & house wine red great tasting. Highly recommended when in Montreal.
Great restaurant, great food, great service! There's often a bit of a wait to get a table, but it's definitely worth it!! The pizzas are delicious, so are the pastas, & the meats!! Portions are great, prices are great!
Nous avons commandé une pizza & un espresso.Arrêtez de dire le contraire, cela devient vraiment n'importe quoi. J'ai d'ailleurs gardé une photo que je partagerai également pour montrer la réalité.
Détrompez-vous également sur un point : vous n'êtes pas le serveur qui nous a servis. Le serveur qui s'est occupé de nous a clairement vu que j'avais la boîte avec moi & je lui ai expliqué la situation. Il n'y avait aucun problème de son côté & nous avons tout de même passé commande d'une pizza & d'un espresso.
Dire le contraire aujourd'hui revient simplement à déformer les faits.
De plus, je ne suis clairement pas la première personne à me plaindre de ce genre de comportement. Il suffit de regarder les avis plus bas pour constater que d'autres clients ont vécu des situations similaires.
Par exemple, un autre client expliquait qu'il avait simplement apporté un soda pour son petit enfant tout en passant une commande, & cela a également posé problème. Le vrai problème ici n'est pas la commande, mais votre attitude & votre comportement envers la clientèle.
Par ailleurs, vous vous êtes même permis de bloquer mon compte, ce qui m'empêchait de répondre ou d'expliquer la situation. J'ai donc dû utiliser un autre compte pour pouvoir rétablir la vérité. Ce genre de pratique ne correspond pas non plus à un service à la clientèle transparent & respectueux.
Dans tous les cas, cette expérience reste très décevante, notamment à cause de l'attitude de la personne en chemise noire qui semblait plus occupée à discuter avec ses collègues qu'à offrir un service client respectueux.
