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.
We went there for a birthday celebration: in all honesty was a fantastic pizza. It's a true wood burning oven, not gas powered & the flavor really shined through.
Managing that type of oven takes skill, & the pizzaiolo did a wonderful job; I even congratulated him at the end!
They've mastered their dough recipe, & the ingredients are exactly how I like them: simple, not too many, fresh & top quality.
We had the beet salad & garlic bread as starters & a pizza each. It was truly wonderful.
The server was really engaging & also did a splendid job
The food was amazing
Although we waiting a little longer than we wanted to to order, we quickly understood that we got seated right at peak time (all is forgiven).
Thank you Vincenzo for treating us so well.
Did I mention how good the food was? Loved it!
The high ratings for this place are inexplicable. This is such a generic Neopolitan pizza restaurant. The most remarkable thing about this place is the impressive looking woodfire stove. As stunning as it looks, results are pretty much the same as any other woodfire stove. The dough was good quality, it's not like they don't know what they're doing. The menu options were uninspired & there were more than one pizza with nuts on it which I thought was a weird menu trend. Light with the toppings too but I know that's typical of Neopolitan pizza. For a $30 personal pizza I just was not too impressed. I enjoyed the pizza but I can think of a lot of other meals I've enjoyed more for the same price.

Les pizza sont bonnes sans toutefois se démarquer d'aussi bonnes pizza déjà mangées ailleurs. Le brownie est excellent. Le vin (un chianti) était un peu froid & pas des meilleurs. L'ambiance est bonne & le lieu assez fréquenté. À refaire à l'occasion.
Pizza fresh out of the oven, pitchers of sangria, & a table full of friends - the perfect recipe for a night of laughter, good food, & unforgettable memories. 😊

I've been dying to come here for months after hearing the guys from TSN690 rave about it.
Last night was finally the night!
We were a party of 6. The service was great. The vibe super chill......& the pizza was amazing.
We were even treated with an aperitif before we left.
Most definitely worth the drive as we live off island.
I'll be back
I ordered 2 pizzas on skip the dishes & did pickup. The staff were really welcoming & polite. The veggie & the spanakopizza. They were both delish & big. The spanakopizza was worth it, the vegetarian didn't have much veg so not worth the extra money over the margherita.
