Reviews for Pizzeria Melrose consistently highlight phenomenal pizza, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming, elegant atmosphere with attentive staff. Diners note generous portions, good value for the quality, and helpful recommendations from servers when deciding on dishes. The menu is praised for variety, including salads, pastas, cannoli, and espresso, with wine often mentioned as decent value. Several experiences advise booking ahead due to the busy pace, and describe the service as friendly, efficient, and above average. A few critiques mention pricing on drinks and a dish note about a sauce being too salty, but these are outweighed by overall satisfaction and the sense of hospitality that makes guests want to return.
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

A real Italian pizzaria! Not the (sloppy, overdressed) Montreal style pizza, but an authentic south Italian pizza, down to announcing the dough quality by saying it's been raising for 72 hours! Amazing place, great spicy sauce too.
