Pizzeria Zac is widely praised as a top vegan pizza spot in Montreal, offering a diverse menu, flavor packed toppings, and a thin, crispy crust that earns frequent compliments. The atmosphere is cozy and the service friendly, with many reviews calling the pizzas delicious and reasonably priced, while a few note that portions can be smaller and better enjoyed as a snack rather than a full meal. Overall, Pizzeria Zac is seen as a reliable and enjoyable destination for vegan pizza lovers and a welcome option for non vegans seeking tasty plant based pies.
After being denied every vegan restaurant up & down Saint Denis (no reservations), we decided to go a little off the beaten path & try this cute little hole-in-the-wall pizzaria. & we're so glad we did! Both of our pizzas were piping hot from the oven, flavorful, & topped with fresh ingredients that complemented their thin-crust base. The menu is categorized by red sauce, pesto, & white sauce. You can go pure veggie with the Casanova - red sauce, veggies,'cheese', topped with fresh arugula (roquette), or do their version of a veggie'meat lovers', or order the spicy'Diablo' pizza ...if you dare. :-D. The menu is extensive enough to please most palates, without being overwhelming. The seating is basically two picnic tables, but it was very spacious for my partner & me & two other separate diners. They seem to mostly do take out orders, so the demand for sit down space isn't so intense. They have a fun mural on one of the walls featuring Lisa Simpson - also the name of one of their pizzas. When we were there, a lively selection of classic blues music was playing. The service was very friendly & helpful. They do not have a liquor license, but they do have a decent selection of soft drinks, but more options might be nice. Anyway, show this place some love & either order a small, personal-sized pizza or a large size pizza for two. Support the cruelty-free, plant-based movement, & support a small business.
The best vegan pizza in Montreal! Stopped in after a long walk & the lunch rush, it was the perfect cozy place.
Ate a slice of the pepperoni pizza while waiting for my order & it was divine. The slice was large, the crust thing & amount of melted cheese was perfect.
Then my order arrived a few minutes later & the smell was enough to take me back to an Italian villa. Le Mile End is the perfect balance of red sauce, pesto, cheese, rosted garlic & pine nuts lightly covered with spinach. For fun I added mushrooms & my brain felt like it was exploding with all the rich flavors.
My husband had an Old School Calzone & said he would have another if there was space in the tummy left.
We loved it & will return!

the day was late when we first arrived in montreal. we were famished after a six hour drive, & came upon the glowing front door of pizzeria zac whilst wandering around the streets of mile end. One could not have predicted the quality of food which we were about to find ourselves masticating. now, as a pair we represent 6 (& a half) year vegan & a regular pizza consumer (non-vegan). one year & four score ago, I, the non-vegan, found myself in another continent in the country of Italy, eating pizza &/or pasta every day without failure. I can tell you with full confidence that this is one of the best pizzas you or I will ever have. For our first visit (&, yes, we couldn't help ourselves but to go back again later that week) we ordered the large size of the Aphrodite pizza under the'pesto' sauce section.'Aphrodite' couldn't be a more fitting name for such a divine slice of pizza as that was in that moment. the pesto sauce is absolutely to die for, & our mouths salivated between each bite. as for our second visit, we ordered'the mile end' & the'all dressed,' wanting to try their marinara option in addition to the pesto sauce. our second visit closed out our trip to montreal, & we savored each slice as if it were our last supper, basking in the soul/rnb music playing from the radio by the counter.
as a vegan, i've been deprived of a good pizza for 6 years, with a few exceptions. typically, the cheese is the problem, but at pizzaria zac, this is far from the case. the cheese is exceptionally cheesy (i've honestly forgotten what cheese tastes like but this cheeze is really good). it left us saying,'how have they done it?? how?'
you are absolutely foolish if you do not visit pizzaria zac whilst in mile end.
P.S. on out first visit, the couple next to us was definitely stoned, but that is not necessary in order to have a heavenly experience at Pizzaria Zac (& i'm not just saying as much because the legal age for buying weed is beyond us).
Delicious vegan pizzas. I gave the atmosphere a low rating because the night I went, with 5°C outside, they had the door open. It was impossible to dine inside, so I ordered takeout.
