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.

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

Fantastic, tasteful pizza, exactly as it should be. Lots of options. Nice staff. Busy place, but still nice and cosy atmosphere. Best gluten free pizza I ever had. Just go there.

Pizza galore! So many options and all are really good! Decent prices and yummy pizzas lead to the place being full most of the time. Worth it!

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!

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

The prosciutto-mushroom calzone with additional garlic is explosive.
Martin RobertsonNovember 9, 2014
The pizza was amazing. Sauce was so fresh, basically pureed tomatoes. Thin crust but not crunchy, moist yet not oily. Was perfect.

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

Delicious authentic Italian pizza. The four cheese is superb. A lovely place to celebrate Quebec Day.

Order the La Griglia pizza. Ask for the spicy oil. Your mouth will be incredibly happy.

Excellent pizza! Be sure to ask for the special spicy oil you can drizzle on at your own pace!

The Margherita is pretty good also if you need an English menu just ask.

Long lines at lunch - best to arrive at 1130 or sooner to get a table, or after 130 - so worth the wait
