Pizzeria Dei Compari is described as a lively wood fired Italian spot with superb pizza, a warm atmosphere and generous portions. Guests frequently praise the crust and toppings, noting the wood fired oven flavor and saying the pizzas are among the best in town. Service is often highlighted as friendly and efficient, though it can be busy and pacing may vary during peak times. The dining room is described as noisy but lively, with outdoor seating in warm months and a central location that draws lines and makes reservations scarce. Desserts like creme brulee are well received, and pastas and sauces are also enjoyed on many visits. A few reviews mention variability in quality and portions over time, and some dishes may feel heavy or not as authentic as expected. Overall this spot is seen as a great option for pizza fans, offering good value, fast service and a distinctive Montreal Italian experience. Takeout is popular too, with long lines at times but quick pickup and a satisfying pizza fix.
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.
On a hot summer evening, we visited a restaurant recommended by our host-said to be one of the best Italian spots with an excellent selection of vegetarian dishes. Despite being full, the service was impressively quick, & the food was absolutely delicious. We loved it!

3 pizzas pour 3 gros mangeurs en plein hiver, Excellent! Immédiatement dirigés vers une table en bas près du four à pizza, commande prise derechef, & apportée divisée en 3 telle que demandée. Service attentif & efficace, ambiance bruyante mais de bonne humeur. Pizzas croûtes minces excellentes, superbe choix. On y retourne c'est sûr. Recommandé.
If you're in or around the centre ville of Montreal after great pizza or pasta look no further than this wonderful family run restaurant. It can be busy at the weekend but it's worth the effort.
The staff are friendly & attentive. The atmosphere is lively & the food is simply excellent. Well cooked, tasty & great size portions. We liked it so much on our first visit at the weekend we went again during the week which was quieter but the food & service were still up to the same standard.
Highly recommended.
It was quite busy, so thats always a good sign. Got a small table in the corner, had the pasta carbonara & my buddy a pizza (capri? The shrimp one). It was amazing, can recommend it!
Place was packed but we were lucky & got a recently vacated table by the window. Asked the lovely server which pizza she recommends & suggested to add bacon to it. It was also cut in half:). It was probably the best pizza I've ever had. Another server came & we ordered fettuccine with smoked salmon based on his resounding recommendation. I was hesitant because I normally like thin pastas but decided to try anyway. Boy, was I glad I did. The pasta was very fresh & portion was generous but we finished all of it.
The food was so good that I didn't even finish my Pinot Grigio!
Best pizza in town in my book. Discovered this gem back in my Uni days over 20+ years ago. Everything else is super delicious, but i go there to get my pizza fix. Ive tried 100's spot, some that are really close to it but it remains the top. Modest resto, nothing fancy!
Highly recommended, just try it!!

Durant notre séjour, nous passons devant cette pizzeria qui semble avoir beaucoup de clients , nous décidons de prendre 2 pizza emporter .malgré le monde en 20min cela était prêt. Quel régal, je recommande.
Un peu mitigé par rapport au restaurant. L'emplacement est excellent, près du métro sur St-Denis. Le service était impeccable, rien à dire sur cela. Cependant, la cuisine en plein milieu du restaurant je n'étais pas trop fan, il y avait beaucoup de bruit, c'était un peu difficile de s'entendre parler. Pour ce qui est de la pizza, j'étais complètement perdu pour être honnête, car nous avions pris une 4 fromages & une margherita. La margherita est excellente rien à dire là-dessus, mais la 4 fromages était un peu trop cuite & surtout, je n'ai jamais vu ça(pour ma part), les fromages étaient séparés. Donc, 1/4 mozzarella, 1/4 bleu & ainsi de suite. C'était peut-être un jour malchanceux pour moi, mais bon… Je recommande tout de même, c'est un bon endroit pour passer un bon moment & la bouffe est généralement bonne.
La salade César avec vinaigrette maison était délicieuse (rien à voir avec la vinaigrette du marché!) & la pizza était croustillante 😊 Je recommande pour ceux qui cherche un bon resto italien!
I love this place. In the heart of the Quartier Latin, great food, varied selection of wood-fired oven pizza. Service can be a bit inattentive at busy times, but I still recommend it as a great spot for a good pizza. I've returned many times & will come again.
My husband came here for a quick bite to eat for lunch since our hotel was close by. We shared the Montreal pizza & loved it. It is a wood fire pizza made fresh! The cheese is delicious!!! Service was fast, & the waitress was great. Definitely recommend.
