Pizzeria Melrose draws praise for outstanding pizza, fresh ingredients and a warm, elegant atmosphere, with service described as attentive and friendly. Reviewers note generous portions and a solid menu that includes salads, house made pasta, cannoli and tiramisu, and while prices are generally fair, a glass of wine can feel a bit steep. The restaurant is a popular spot for celebrations and groups, often busy and recommended to book in advance, with staff offering helpful suggestions and making guests feel welcome. A few comments mention small issues like a slightly salty tomato sauce or calamari that could be improved, but the overall impression is consistently positive and many say they will return.
My husband & I have been trying different Pizza Restaurants when ever we travel to bitter cities. Now, we have decided to try one in our neighborhood. Pizzaria Melrose has been at its current location for over 10 years. They serve neopolitain style pizza, pasta, salads, & a few desserts. This time, we were 3, so we got to try 3 different pizzas. First, we started with the Cesar salad. The lettuce was crisp. The dressing was plentiful with a lot of grated cheese on top. Four small slices of bacon were decorativly placed on top. It was very good. We then ordered a Classic pizza, a Gigi pizza, & a Three Meat pizza. The undercarriage of the Classic & Gigi were perfectly cooked & held up to lifting & folding in half. The Tree Meat one, however, was wet & had to be eaten with a fork & knife. They will, for next time, if asked, cook it longer so it won't be soggy. The toppings on all 3 pizzas were very good, making them delicious. Overall, we enjoyed the pizza & will go back. The service was great. Parking was easy considering the location. The atmosphere was noisy, but it's expected for the type of restaurant.

Good Neapolitan pies with good quality ingredients . They definitely care about their product & it shows . Pie was a little underbaked for my taste but I assume most guests would not appreciate a char like I do . Cesar salad was tasty . Good dose of grated cheese & I was impressed that the romaine actually was chilled . Mark was a great host & he assured me that if I request well done next time , it will be looked after . Class act . We will certainly be back
In the 10+ years I have lived in the area, this was the first time my wife & I tried this place after many suggestions from friends. I share the bad experience others have had so far in terms of food quality & the manager. Don't waste your money here.
We decided to try this place because of the reviews so I feel it needs a little update. We were not impressed at all, first of all, at this price I shouldn't have to take my own menus to the table. The waitresses were nice but we literally felt like we were bothering the manager (or owner?). We always order a margarita pizza for the kids & this was a rip off. If you don't master the basic of your cuisine I dont care how good the rest of your menu is, you missed the mark. Imagine a french restaurant that cant make an omelette.. & to top it off, the manager didn't acknowledge neither my husband or myself when we left & he was there standing by the door (not taking orders or anything). The feeling when you walk out of there, is that they care more about the table turn around & cancellations than the actual connection with the customers. There's better Italian restaurant in the area I think for this price range.
Excellent restaurant & wonderful experience. We loved the Caesar salad & the fennel salad. The pizzas are amazing. Delicious thin crust, nice tomato sauce, quality ingredients. We tried the Margherita, Classique & NDG. We loved all three, but if I had to choose, the NDG was my favourite. We also shared the homemade rigatoni with sausage & rapini. Delicious! The Margaritas were amazing & paired beautifully with the salads. 😊 For dessert we had the tiramisu & Nutella pizza. The tiramisu was good, but the Nutella pizza was amazing. It even has crushed hazelnuts on top. The restaurant was busy inside & on the terrace. Even so, the service was very good. Attentive & friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!
I got a delivery. One pizza was too soggy, the other one was good. One pizza had chilli & the other one didn't. No utensils for my salad & no napkins. Way too expensive for what you get, disappointed.

Une salade de fenouil divine, une pizza marguerite délicieuse & l'excellent service d Alex, quoi demander de plus! Définitivement un incontournable dans NDG. BRAVO
To be honest the hype is larger than the food. The smell is too strong from the kitchen & the pizza although good , wasn't the mind blowing taste that I was promised . Theyre friendly & service is good & quick , plus it's a great place to sit & talk over a meal
