Great oven-baked thin crust pizzas in the heart of downtown! Decent prices ($15 a pizza ) and amazing choice (up to 70 types!). Can be ordered to go ahead of time. Don't forget the hot olive oil .

Jihan Carrasquero

Awesome pizzas ! So many options to choose from. Nice staff . Highly recommended. Sometimes crowded , but that means it's good. Excellent option in Montreal.

Over 50 kinds of pizzas ! Ask your waiter for best selling ones if you can't choose. They have truffle pizza for less than $20!

At first glance, it looks a bit like a tourist trap but the pizza is really good and the price is more than fair .

We had marinara pizza #20 and pizza salamino #54. Very good choices. Good services and very fast. Busy place

English menu available, but man up people! You can figure out the French menu. When you do, you won't regret it, this place has awesome pizza . Try #34!

Jacqueline Ng

This is no fancy restaurant . I used to eat out there when I was working until 3 AM for a Montreal advertising agency . Years after leaving this work, I still think they have the best pizza in Montreal .

Fantastic fresh pizza , recommended. Bookings are a bit tough but lining up did't take long. Always busy

Maxime Bourque

Very good choice of pizzas

Cécile

The prosciutto-mushroom calzone with additional garlic is explosive.

Martin Robertson

The pizza was amazing. Sauce was so fresh, basically pureed tomatoes . Thin crust but not crunchy, moist yet not oily. Was perfect.

Magno Borgo

Can't go wrong with the Quattro Formaggio pizza . The exclusive imported wine selection is good too.
