Regina Pizzeria offers a warm, welcoming Italian dining experience with wood fired pizzas, fresh pastas, and hearty entrees that feel homemade. Guests consistently praise authentic flavors, generous portions, and a homey atmosphere that makes meals feel like gatherings with family. The service is described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with staff who check in, accommodate requests, and help navigate the menu. The ambiance blends comfort with a lively, friendly energy, and the wood oven aromas add to the appeal, though a few nights can be a bit loud for some. The menu is varied, featuring seafood, gnocchi, arancini, and a range of pizzas from classics to inventive options, all noted for a crisp crust and fresh ingredients. Prices are considered reasonable for the quality, and many guests leave with a sense of having discovered a reliable favorite for casual dinners, celebrations, or date nights, already planning a return to try more.
This restaurant was awesome! I came in for the first time for my birthday. They had spent quality time on this food & to be honest, this restaurant has no exceptions in my opinion. I recommend going to this Italian restaurant.
This is my go-to place whenever I want to have guests over, casual meetings, or just a great meal in the neighborhood. The food is always consistently excellent. You can really see & taste the quality of the ingredients they use. While service standards seem to be declining in many places around Quebec, here the service remains attentive, friendly, & professional. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. It's reassuring to have a restaurant that keeps its standards high when so many others have started to slip. Highly recommend!
Had a night out for some Italian fare & decided to return to a familiar spot to dine in.
We arrived early, & it was already a busy night, lively & energetic, creating a great atmosphere! Service was courteous & attentive throughout.
The menu now features some new items alongside longtime classics, offering even more variety. We ordered a mix of pastas & pizzas.
While I had been a bit disappointed with the pizzas on previous visits, tonight was a different story, the bar was definitely raised! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, & we will absolutely be back!

Nous sommes allés y dîner pour le quatrième anniversaire de mon fils.
L'endroit est agréable, le service était excellent & le temps d'attente entre la commande & l'arrivée des plats a été court.
Les pizzas étaient délicieuses, avec une taille parfaite : ni trop grandes ni trop petites, idéales pour les enfants comme pour les adultes.
J'ai commandé une salade César, qui ne contenait pas de poulet. C'est sûrement leur version adaptée, mais la sauce était exquise.
Petite remarque : j'ai commandé un jus d'orange pour mon fils, il n'était pas bon & l'un des enfants ne l'a pas bien digéré.
Nous y retournerons certainement, mais cette fois, nous demanderons de l'eau minérale en bouteille.
Had a few entrees: green salad, fried calamari & for my main salmon with risotto & vegetables; everything was so good, fresh & flavourful. Also, we had great service the whole night. Will be back!
This family-owned pizzeria delivers an authentic Italian dining experience with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
From perfectly crisp wood-fired pizzas to rich homemade pastas, every bite reflects their dedication to traditional cuisine. The young, friendly staff adds to a lively yet welcoming atmosphere, making guests feel right at home.
The only drawback is the wine list-while it offers a decent selection, the pricing is excessive, often 4 to 5 times the SAQ equivalent.
Despite this, the professionalism of the staff & the exceptional food make this a standout spot for Italian dining on the Southshore of Montreal.
Highly recommended, just be mindful of the wine markup.
