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.
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!
Cela fait trois ans que je fréquente ce commerce. Malheureusement, depuis un certain temps la qualité en a pris un coup.
Les portions sont beaucoup moins généreuses qu'avant & la qualité des ingrédients a réduit. Ils ont également retiré du menu un gâteau du style lava cake qui était délicieux & goûteux pour un genre de fondant au chocolat de la section du surgelé d'épicerie avec une micro boule de crème glacée. Aussi, n'essayez surtout pas leurs arancinis, ils ont clairement été chauffé au micro-onde, c'était cheap & dégueulasse. Pour 10$ l'unité c'est ridicule.
Je ne sais pas s'ils ont changé d'administration mais je trouve cela dommage de réduire la qualité. Il y en a plein des restos italiens à Montréal, ils n'ont pas l'air de comprendre que si la qualité baisse, les gens iront simplement ailleurs.
Équipe au top, cuisine au top. Ambiance ni trop, ni pas assez. 3 plats différents & 3 plats très bons. Rien a redire. Pour une soirée au calme avec un très bon staff... grazzie ai Compari...

Great service, despite it being super busy in the evenings. The food, however, is alright & nothing to write home about. If you are looking for dinner options before a show or a concert in the area, this might do. But otherwise, I'd look for somewhere else.
Garé devant par pur hasard, on ne s'attendait à rien… & pourtant, quelle révélation !
Une petite pizzeria sans prétention, mais des pizzas dignes de l'Italie 🇮🇹 : feu de bois, pâte légère & savoureuse, produits frais, garniture généreuse & un goût authentique comme là-bas.
Franchement, la meilleure pizza que j'ai mangée au Québec, & pour 20-21 $ taxes incluses, c'est imbattable.
Service rapide, accueil simple & sincère : tout ce qu'on aime.
Si vous passez dans le coin, arrêtez-vous absolument. Vous ne le regretterez pas 🍕🔥
Ma belle soeur de son côté a pris des pâtes (maison) Carbonara. Un délice !
Tous simplement la meilleur pizzeria au quebec.
Merci infiniment.

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!!
Thank you so much for the Pizza recommendation no 24, I believe. The carrot cake was delicious also. Highly recommendation both dining in or takeout. Lovely Italian restaurant!
Wir haben gleich an zwei Abenden hier gegessen. Obwohl das Restaurant bis fast auf den letzten Platz belegt war, kam das Essen sehr schnell. Sowohl die Pizza aus dem Holzofen wie auch die Lasagne und ein Salat waren köstlich. Viel besser geht nicht mehr!
