Pizzeria Napoletana is located in the heart of Montreal's Little Italy at the corner of 2 quite streets, Dante and De Gaspe. At Napoletana, Pizza is an art form, with over 28 kinds of pizza made from a variety of ingredients, you can choose from artichokes to asparagus, shrimp to smoked salmon, prosciutto to smoked turkey. For diners with soul pasta in mind, try one of the over 26 kinds of Pasta dishes. Always fresh, made with the finest ingredients imported from Italy. You can choose from a light tomato and basil sauce to a rich and creamy "rosée" sauce.
Pizzeria Napoletana is a great place to bring the whole family so they can see what authentic Pizza really tastes like. The hustle and bustle will keep the kids entertained and everyone will feel part of the action.
Reviews describe Pizzeria Napoletana as an affordable BYOB staple with a warm, bustling vibe in Little Italy, where wood fired Neapolitan pizzas and house made pastas are praised for authentic flavors and a crisp, thin crust, and tiramisu and espresso often receive high marks. Some visits are marred by uneven heat or cold dishes and by service that ranges from friendly and attentive to brisk or distracted. The BYOB setup and the option to buy wine nearby are consistently noted as positives, as is the lively atmosphere and the chance to share plates on a terrace during good weather, though crowds can mean long waits and noise. While many diners call the pizzas and pastas delicious and reasonably priced, others describe inconsistent quality and garnishes, with a few meals feeling underwhelming or lacking in balance. Taken together, Pizzeria Napoletana is viewed as a classic Montreal Italian spot worth trying for authentic style and a convivial dining experience, with many returning for the pies and pasta.
Tried Minerva & the Latina pizza. Had this with Rocco red wine that we bought in the store opposite to this restaurant. The pizza we ordered is perfect complement to the wine we had. Portion size is also good & definitely worth the price.
Dining at 18h00 on a Wednesday evening afforded us the opportunity to get a table for four (4) as soon as we walked & not have to wait. Our server / greeter brought a carafe of water with him while accompanying us to our table. The restaurant having its own wine shop next door also allowed us to buy a nice bottle of wine to enjoy during our meal. We shared two salads that were served very promptly & with extremely crisp lettuce. We shared three (3) different meatless pies & one manicotti & they were all served piping hot & were delicious & as expected we had one & 1/2 left over to take home. Definitely worth another visit & not after 5 years!

This place is way over-rated.
Pizza was overcooked pasta was soggy.
Service was not up to standard .
No ice buckets for your wine???
Nothing authentic about this place
This place is saved by its great location.
More like an American olive garden.
This restauran is very popular. They take no reservations, first come first serve. Over 40 different wood oven pizzas, over 30 pasta dishes so you will find something you like. Everything is delicious, service is fast & efficient. It's a bring your own wine with a beautiful terrace on Dante Street in the heart of little Italy. The only downside is the street parking which is a a bit difficult.
Always on the hunt for great Italian food, not a good fan of thin-crust pizza but IT IS Delicious, fresh pasta, & a tasty buffalo & burrata starter. No alcohol, but you can grab a beer or wine right across the street. Super chill vibe & great service. Highly recommended!
Family & friendly environment. Noisy environment caused by people talking. No background music. The pizza is really good, maybe a little overdone with the house tomato sauce. You can only change one item per pizza. If it could be more personalized, it would be perfect! Many people bring their own wine. The pizza is the size of an individual plate. Reserving a table might be a good idea to avoid the 30-minute wait.
Amazing first experience. Was there for a Christmas Party & will definitely be back. The bread, the meatballs, the pasta, the pizzas everything was amazing! Bring your own wine!!!

Pizzeria Napoletana is the most incredible icon of Little Italy Montreal. Pasta & pizza at its perfection. The food is delicious & authentic. The variety of pastas & pizzas will satisfy even the most finicky. All of the food is prepared fresh & delicious. The service is friendly & courteous. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. You can bring your own wine or if you forget, you can buy a bottle across the street at their very own retail store of wines & Italian products. We'll, the lineups at their door on Friday & Saturday nights says it all, but well worth the wait I assure you of that. This place has been around for as long as I have, & like me perfection all the way. Ready for this one - I rate Pizzerria Napoletana 6 out of 5 mustaches for its perfection & longevity. Tell them that Uncle Carmine sent you.
You have to be on time for the reservation they will pressure you bc you have 1:30 to be on the table & all the people on the reservation have to be arrived to be seated .. the food is amazing .. service really fast . Too busy on saturday you can't even talk because of the noise . There is a wine store across the street. 👌🏼
Best pizza & polpetine I have tried in Montreal. You cannot make reservations. They have the'Bring your own wine concept'. The ambiance is noisy, very Italian & the service is fast. Loved the experience here. I would return for sure.

Honestly.. tasted 3 pizzas, all were pretty meh pizza, pastas were good but a bit overcooked, they give you as minimal of service as possible, but doesnt cost to much if you bring your wine
Favorites place to go for Formia pizza (tuna, onions, garlic, & green peppers) A few blocks away from the Jean Talon Market, & just 2 blocks from Patisserie Alati-Caserta (cannoli) We shared a mixed green salad & started with their famous meatballs Amazing ! Fun ambience, especially during Euro Cup, & it's bring-your-own-wine
A Little Italy staple. The ambiance here is fantastic, a great place to come for a date but also for a group event. The menu has so many options, & everything we ordered was great. Service is extremely fast, we got all our food within the first 30 mins of being sat. Prices are also reasonable & the bring your own wine concept adds to the convivial ambiance. Highly recommend! The garlic bread is also a must try!! We made a reservation but note it can be hard to get a table as it is often busy
Beautiful atmosphere ,indoor & exterior(terrasse) service ,bring your own wine , Italian dishes cooked to perfection, servings are generous, waiters are friendly
Always good....hot, fresh & delicious every time. Pastas, pizzas, eggplant parm all served at reasonable prices & good portions. To top it off have the frozen lemon dessert served in a real lemon....it's incredible!! Sit outside in the summer & bring your own wine. You can't go wrong here. Be ready to wait on busy weekend nights but they are open late so you can arrive at 9pm & walk right in.
