Display Allpizza(59) slice(39) griffintown(10) quality(8) price(8) mushroom(7) vibe(7) style(7) fresh(6) crust(6) sauce(6) pie(5)The pizza here is on another level. The big New York style slices & 18 inch pies nail that sweet spot: crisp, foldable crust with just the right amount of chew. It's not greasy or sloppy & the homemade fresh ranch sauce is full of fresh dill.
Most of the 1 star reviews are ridiculous to some extent. I do agree that the price is very high. The slices size is inconsistent. Does it deserve a 1 star, no. It is overpriced but the pizza is excellent.
Delicious, properly made pizza. Yes seating space is limited, but that's not hampering the good vibes. The back is also clean & enthusiastically kept with a caring attention to detail.
This is their Margherita pizza. Best pizza I've ever had in mtl lol no joke. Rating 4 stars because of the price. But it is phenomenal.
Good pizza, the service was fantastic, the guys there are amazing, really friendly & kind. Charlotte is wonderful. Fresh & warm pizza slice for a craving. A great spot right In the heart of Griffintown.
This is by far the best elevated New York-style slice in Montreal. The crust is perfect, the char is spot-on, the ingredients are top-notch, & the overall flavor is incredible. It's the closest thing we have to places like L'Industrie in Brooklyn, Cello's in the East Village, or Grandma's One Pizza on Bleecker Street.
The vibe is exactly right, the staff is friendly, & every slice tastes amazing. The guy who seemed to be the chef or owner even came over to chat with me for a couple of minutes & offered me a sample of ice cream because he could see how interested & enthusiastic I was about the place. That kind of genuine hospitality just adds to the whole experience.
People saying the slices are too small or too expensive don't really get the style-this isn't a classic Joe's slice in NYC, nor is it one of those big cheap'dollar slices' (which aren't even a dollar anymore & don't compare at all in taste or quality). It's an elevated slice, & for that category, the price is right. Trust me, I've been to many of these spots, & when you factor in the currency difference, the pricing lines up perfectly with similar places mentioned above & is cheaper than l'industrie.
I've seen comments about a $40 pie, but honestly, that's the going rate at big chain restaurants for the same size-except here, you're getting a way better product & experience here. Special shout-out to the mushroom pie: usually mushroom slices are either bland, too dry, or too soggy, but this one was absolutely perfect.
I fully recommend this place, & I'm planning to come here pretty much every time I'm in Montreal. If you're craving real New York-style pizza, this is the spot. If Dave Portnoy ever rated it, it would probably land in the high 8s-which, if you know his scale, is pretty amazing.
So happy Elena opened a dedicated pizza spot! Slices are a good size, nice ingredients & fresh. The negative reviews are quite ignorant, if you are that price sensitive, visit a pizza pizza or something. Prices are good for the size & on par with other non chain pizza joints
Little gem in Griffintown, only two tables for seating so mostly to go. Crust on Pizza is Top Notch.
Meilleure sauce tomate de pizza à Montréal! Mon top 3 pizzerias à date!
Very good! It would deserve 5stars if you cut your whole pizza in 6 slices instead of 8. Your slice is ridiculously small for the price.
Response from the owner:'Lol'.
Enfin une excellente pizzeria dans le quartier ! J'ai mis beaucoup de temps à trouver un resto qui fait des pizzas dignes de ce nom. La pâte, la garniture, la cuisson, la sauce, tout est parfait. & les portions sont généreuses.
Really good tasing variety of pizza slices. Only thing I would improve would be the price to size ratio, it's expensive for what is given. That said quality is great & staff are very friendly, good vibes
EDIT:
Asked for a mushroom pizza & staff saw that the slice was small so they gave me an extra slice!
The pizza was great, but the service was very slow. It took 30 minutes to receive only four slices.
Very good pizza. The rapini & sausage was awesome. Nice addition to the neighbourhood.
Pizza is A1 but a bit too much juice in the sandwich. Still very good overall!
Finally a great pizza slice in Griffintown! Everything was amazing, the sorpressatta is the best one imo. Get yourself a slice id you are around totally worth it!
Nochi out.
Friendly, accommodating service. Loved the classic rock playlist while I was waiting. I enjoyed my spinach, mushroom, & soppressata pizza slices, especially the thin crispy dough.
