Overall, reviews describe Pizzeria Magpie as a beloved wood fired Neapolitan spot with a warm, cozy vibe, where the pizzas and fresh ingredients shine and the service is frequently praised as attentive and friendly; many note standout pies like Mortadella, Diavola, and other creative options, along with good cocktails and a well received limoncello surprise, while some diners mention a few rough patches such as long waits at peak times, a hot room or variable AC, and occasional menu items that don’t hit as hard or feel limited; the dough quality and oven mastery are repeatedly cited as key strengths, and several readers call it among the best pizza places in Montreal and worth the trip, with high marks for atmosphere, desserts, and overall value.
My friends & I came for drinks & to get a first taste of what Magpie has to offer, & it was such a nice experience.
Amira recommended really fun drinks, for example I had the Kid which was a vial of a whiskey strawberry milkshake that just feels like a potion of joy.
The beet salad was amazing & the amandine pizza was delicious & unique.
I will be coming back to try the rest of the menu!
we had a great time with great drinks & even better pizza. Our selections were on both extremes. A simple but delicious Margherita pizza featuring a fat burrata in the center & the more elaborate pizza of the day: a fantastic, cheesy, ranch buffalo chicken pie. The superior quality of both these pizzas made us wish we had more, & we can't wait to go back to try the rest of the menu. For dessert, we had an incredible citrus ricotta cheesecake that we're still dreaming of. It was even better than it looked. We were given a lollipop with our bill, & as someone who's gotten too old to receive one from the doctor when they get a vaccination, I really appreciated that. (It was lime, too! My favourite. 😊)

Meatball Pizza/ Sauce, Mozzarella, Homemade Meatballs, Mushrooms, Parsley 🍕 First Pizza of the new year coming in hot from @pizzeriamagpie & I have to say it's a banger. First time trying this spot with my buddy & everything was a hit. We got two pies that day which were the meatball style you see here & the Almonds 3 cheese. I love the decor of this spot, really gives you a feel of a old school resto with the decorative chilling designs out of what looks like a material resembling copper. The atmosphere I could tell at night when the lights come down almost feels like a old school drinkery. The first Pizza I got was the Meatball, absolutely loved it. I've never had parsley on a pizza before & honestly I can't imagine whilingly adding it in my own but truthfully it did add something to it. The meatballs were delicious & tender, the sauce was on point & the crust & dough itself was amazing a solid 9/10 for what I like to see. The almond Pizza is one that my buddy choose. Again not one I'd go out of my way to order on my own otherwise but I'm happy he picked it. 3 cheese from gruyere, ricotta & Mozzarella, toasted almonds with salt & spicy honey. Really a fun combination that just works honestly. Have to give them a try this new year they really make a great product & fun date night spot.
The waitress was confused, she was coming to see us too often when we had asked her if we could have a drink first & order later & service was really slow & she made mistakes.
Waitress was knowledgeable, fully bilingual & very sweet! The drinks were amazing!! &, our food was fantastic!!! Bartender was just as good as our waitress & even came to our table to make sure we liked our drinks after a misunderstanding on an initial order 👌
Food was good but service was lacking. We waited 20 mins until we had water in our glasses & then another 10 before someone came to take our food/drink order. Better off taking to go (small venue & tables are very close)

We very much enjoyed Pizzeria Magpie. Good pizzas, salads & drinks. Staff is very friendly & accommodating to first time visitors who needed help in figuring out the menu. It feels like a neighborhood place but with high quality food that is worth a drive or ride.
Best pizza in town...even the gluten free crust is amazing! I also enjoyed the green salad. My favorite part was a drink called Spring Fling that had cucumber & tequila. It was imagined & prepared by their amazing bartender!
