Pizzeria Locali in Montreal serves up artisanal pizzas made with fresh, high-quality and local ingredients. With a cozy atmosphere and a focus on authentic flavors, it’s the perfect spot for pizza lovers in the city.
Locali receives praise for its great atmosphere, friendly service, and outstanding pizza, with a crust often described as perfect and toppings that meld well on even simple slices; the menu features classic New York style pies and a range of extras, and drinks like the Negroni are a favorite; value stands out with affordable prices and lunch deals; the cozy neighborhood vibe is a common highlight, although space is intimate and reservations are sometimes necessary; a few experiences note occasional delays or minor mix ups, but overall guests say they would return for dine in or takeout and to order a whole pie.
2026-04 -I have been going to Locali often since it opened & unfortunately the service was not on par as when it first opened 6 months ago - I went with a friend & it was his first time so I hoped for better - the cashier was very dry in her responses which also he noticed & disliked .
I asked if they had the Diavola Pizza or something with Sopressata/ Spicy - she responded quickly in French saying' quoi? Huile piquante ? Non ?' - Again I asked her if they had anything coming out of the oven as the selection was slim - Responded' Ce que vous voyez, c'est ce que nous avons. Vous pouvez prendre une table & commander entière si la sélection ne vous convient pas.'- finally we just took 3 pepperoni slice - with hot oil on it as she suggested - after opening our box none of the slices had hot oil - wasn't worth going back to deal with her .
Another thing I disliked is the fact that the seating was almost all free - we wanted drinks but she said we cannot sit at the table as they need to clean it & offer us table service & we would not be able individual slices at the counter & sit there - so I said screw the drinks there & went to Brunos.
Anyways , service was lacking I won't be going back soon.
Initial review - Very nice spot - no headaches just great slices at a great cost. Simple - how it should be.
Pizza was absolutely delicious, garlic bread serving was very large & tasted great. Price was good, but the wait time for the food was very long. We went there mid-afternoon & I can't imagine how long the wait would be during lunch or dinner rush. The server herself was responsive & fairly quick though! Overall great place, just expect a wait for your food.
Amazing spot! Super friendly vibe & great atmosphere. Louis Philip, our waiter, was awesome. He was friendly, knew the menu, & made us feel right at home.
We got the Gigi Bacon & the Pepperoni Diavola. The dough is fresh & homemade. The Gigi Bacon had a really good vodka rosé sauce, but the Pepperoni Diavola was the standout, spicy honey & ricotta combo is 🔥 definitely a must-try.
Dessert was the Lemon Napolitan sweet but not too heavy, just right.
The sit down dinning area is very small, so I'd say best for groups of 4-6. Definitely call ahead to reserve!
We loved everything, staff friendly, tasty food, relax ambiance. Only thing we could say is that it was a bit longer between service. They were a family of & us in the restaurant since we came earlier.
What a discovery! This little unassuming spot serves some of the best pizza in the city! Great diner vibe (tho the music was pretty loud for conversation), super staff, dirt cheap beer & cocktails & very solid food! It almost made us forget that our Lady Gaga concert was canceled that night! We will absolutely be back!
I had seen this restaurant several times on Instagram & was excited to try it after scanning thier posts & viewing thier menu. I didn't have a lunch reservation, but the 10 minute wait was no problem. Once seated, we looked at the menu & confirmed the choices we had already made on the drive down. When the waitress came to take our order, she informed us that the fryer wasn't working that day, which eliminated about half of our choices. It would have been helpful to know this before being seated. We ordered a Caesar salad & two pizzas. I asked for the bacon on the side for the salad (not for allergy purposes but it was my Good Friday), but it still came mixed in. I picked it out as I'm not someone who likes to send back food nor do I like to see it wasted, but despite that, the salad was very good! The pizza was good as well. Would I return? Possibly! I'd like to give it another chance. However, communication with customers definitely needs improvement. I understand the restaurant industry is hectic & things happen, but keeping guests informed makes a big difference.
Funcionários super simpáticos, ambiente lindo. A pizza de marguerita ganhou o meu coraçao, o molho de tomate é simplesmente divino, a massa é super leve e crocante, incrível.
Petit restaurant/pizzeria italien super sympathique. La pizza 11' est idéale pour une personne. La croûte est écoeurante! Mince mais bien gonflée, elle se tient bien dans la main pour croquer dedans. Son goût est parfait, la sauce tomate délicieuse, produits frais. J'ai adoré, j'y retournerai certain!

The pizza is excellent, & overall great value! However service was lacking. The restaurant is tiny, probably less than ten tables, yet our waiter was not very attentive. Also, they had an issue with the fryer which meant that a substantial portion of the menu was unavailable, however our waiter only informed us while we were giving our order. This poor communication seemed to be present with other tables which seemingly, like us, had to change their orders after learning the fryer was down. These things happen, but higher quality service would have informed us of the menu limitations earlier on after seating us.
Superbe pizzeria de quartier. On mange bien & on bois pour des prix incomparables. Idéal pour une sortie de semaine ou une date abordable. Bonne ambiance garantie!
Pizzeria de quartier exceptionnelle qui nous transporte dans un village italien des années 60, avec mur de cadres, téléphone rouge à boutons dans l'entrée & napperons en papier sur les tables… & que dire des croquettes de parmesan & des pizzas au four! Sans oublier l'extraordinaire service d'Hélène. J'y retourne!!🤩🍕
