Welldun Pizza s'est imposé comme une destination incontournable à Montréal grâce à sa variété exceptionnelle de pizzas de haute qualité, incluant les styles Détroit, New York et grand-mère, souvent décrites comme parmi les meilleures en ville. De nombreux clients louent les textures croustillantes et aérées, la fraîcheur des ingrédients et la richesse des sauces, soulignant que les choix uniques et les portions généreuses rendent l'expérience très gratifiante. Bien que la nourriture reçoive systématiquement des éloges pour son goût et son authenticité, certains clients ont exprimé des préoccupations concernant les longs temps d'attente aux heures de pointe, des incohérences occasionnelles dans le service ainsi qu'un besoin d'améliorer la ventilation et la climatisation au sein de cet espace restreint et très fréquenté.
Welldun is the real deal!!
I made a slice sampler & loved it!! I tasted three different styles: Sicilian, Chicago-style, & New York-style. Each one had its own personality, but all three delivered on flavour.
The ingredients tasted fresh, the sauce was excellent, & the crusts were the highlight...from the thicker, hearty Sicilian-style bite, to the rich Chicago-style slice, to the classic New York-style crust.
My only negative feedback: the front counter felt a bit disorganized, with one cashier & a long line. Tighten that up, & this place is a 5-star all day, a Montreal pizza gem.
We consider ourselves pizza connoisseurs & we have ALL of the top pizza places in Montreal, & I can say that this is my favorite. Why? Because not only has great quality, fresh pizza slices but also the energy is always good & because there are some many clients constantly, the slices are always fresh!
It can be hard to find much else other than your typical'2 pour 1' pizza spots in Quebec or pizza that really stands out & is unique. Welldun Pizza does just that, offering three styles that you typically don't find in Quebec: Detroit, New York, & Grandma.
If your a sucker for crispy cheese, like I am, the Detroit is a must try. The textures of this pizza are one of the things that sets it apart; crispy cheese edges, chewy soft dough in the middle & then gooey cheesy on top, & then the charred pepperoni. It's as masterpiece.
The location is quite small but the line moves quick. They were out of the Detroit style Vodka Pep I wanted to try when I arrived but by the time it was my turn to order a fresh pie had just come out of their oven.
You can order by the slice or a whole pie & while it is slightly pricey for pizza, the flavors & textures are worth it.
We ordered a pickup order there last Sunday (Nov. 30th). The order was supposed to be ready at 6:24. I got there at 6:21, & the first pizza (of 3) was already on the counter (not under a reheater). Not bad... Well, it took an additional 18 MINUTES for third one to be ready. So by the time I left, that first one had been sitting there for 20 minutes, almost, if not more.
I complained after 10 minutes that it was not acceptable & I'd get home & it would be cold, but they assured me it it would not, & offered to reheat it! (by that time the 2nd & 3rd ones were still no where in sight, so reheating was not an option... & should it be, when you order fresh food from a restaurant???).
10 minutes later when I finally got my order, I complained again that that first one had been sitting there for roughly 20 minutes, & the answer I got was,'Well I offered to reheat it'.
It was indeed cold by the time I got home, 4 minutes away.
That was our second attempt at Welldun. The first time, I think the pizza was taken out of the oven too soon, some of the meat on it felt uncooked, & was also cold when I got home (it didn't sit on the counter this time). We had to throw it in the oven before we could enjoy it. So reheated pizza too. We thought we'd give them another try.
Their pizzas are good, when they are, but a one in two miss rate is higher than I'd like.
As for service, well... it leaves a lot to be desired, as others have pointed out.
I recently visited Welldune Pizza, & I have very mixed feelings about my experience.
The Good:
First & foremost, the pizza itself was excellent. It was hot, fresh, & had a great flavor profile. The quality of the food is definitely what gives this establishment any rating at all.
The Bad (Service Issue):
Unfortunately, the entire experience was hampered by the service at the front counter. I waited nearly 20 minutes for a simple pizza, which is an excessive amount of time.
The issue was largely due to the cashier. She appeared completely disengaged from her duties & was moving at a very slow pace. Instead of focusing on processing orders & serving the queue, she was engaged in an extended personal conversation with a friend at the counter. When she finally did interact with customers, she seemed annoyed rather than helpful. This lack of professionalism & efficiency significantly soured the entire visit.
It's frustrating to see a business with such delicious food let down by poor front-of-house focus. Management needs to address the efficiency & attitude of their staff immediately. If you're willing to endure a potentially long & annoying wait, the pizza is certainly worth the wait-but be prepared for service that is anything but good definitely not worth a 30% tip
First I dont understand people who complain about the heat. Its a pizzeria so obviously the store would be boiling. First time I went it was FULLY packed + the heatwave made it impossible to wait so I decided to give it a try when it's less busy & Bingo! Very good pizzeria in the heart of Verdun. I got their grand Ma pizza which was full of good & fresh flavors ; tomato sauce was good, spicy oil very tasty but lets talk about the dough : DELIGHTFUL. Tastes like a focaccia dough, very good. Staff heat the pizza on spot. Big variety of drinks too.
Only downside is the garbage bin thats always fully packed. I'd appreciate if one of the crew member took a 2min to empty it...
Easily in my top 5 pizza in Montreal. Possibly even top 3. I took the sicilian meat lover & the magherita grandma. The magherita was absolutely delicious. I finally understood what the umami flavor means. I do have one complain about it tho. The cashier told us it was fresh, but I think they let it cool too much & the slice I received was lukewarm at best, which made the slice a bit hard to chew. Still, despite that, the flavor was insane. I prefered that flavor over the sicilian. I highly recommend trying the place & I'll be back myself for sure.
