Best Montreal pizza

[Carmine Falcone]

What about best pizza for downtown tho?

Edit: it looks like most of the recent recommendations (Pendeli's, Il Focolaio) are downtown.

I've had Brigade Pizza on Stanley quite a number of times. They mostly serve Magherita style (Neapolitan) pizzas. What I had a few weeks ago was the proscuitto/arugula one. It's very delicious, but not cheap or filling. One pie usually has four slices that I can polish off in two minutes flat at a cost of about $22 CAD. I'm still hungry when it's all over.

That Pendeli's looks like it's going to hit the spot. I don't want foo foo pizza after sex (which is when I mostly eat pizza). I want caveman meat lover's pizza.

Le Surfin on André-Ampère in RDP

Its been a while I didnt eat a pizza from this place because I moved.
I remember a few years ago, I always ordered a Large Pizza Cheese&bacon for 20$ on late night and they always covered the whole pizza with a truckload of 1/4" thick bacon chunks.
I think they emptied their daily batch of bacon on my pizza each time.
I also like the small ball of pizza dough they always put in the middle to support the box during delivery.

I've tried many places in Montreal for pizza but I've visited some of the most iconic spots in the US and they don't have anything that compares in pizza to it, but then again...does any town in North America compare to good hockey, poutine, fun nightlife and of course, beautiful women..I'd say no, lol. Long live Montreal!

I have been in quite a few cities in USA and when it comes to food variety,price,quality etc……
nothing compares to Montreal
and I also super agree when talking about Women (beauty,veriety,attitude) in Montreal
the best
as for the pizzas . You should try the round tomato pizza at Laura bakery on Blvd. Robert in st Leonard
it tastes like authentique pizza from Abruzzo italy
try the campagnolo bread too (round loaf) it’s amazing if you like that rustic authentic bread from Abruzzo

Agree Como is amazing

Did anyone ever try Afghanistan Pizza on Papineau and Ontario St? I drove by it 100's of times and was curioius, but not that intersted. But the name always made me wonder what they topped pizza with. I assume kebab and hummus sauce?

 

[Obvio-0bvio]

Personally, I adore Moretti's pizza.
Cocktails are excellent, the food is both excellent and reasonably priced. The waitresses are stunning, a large number of attractive women frequent the establishment. Lovely vibe.
The traditional Italian pizza is excellent. Here are two more that I recommend: Fugazzi pizza and Fiorellino, which is on another level.

and Fiorellino, which is on another level.

Went there recently, chose one of the biancas (no tomato sauce) and was amazed at how good the dough tasted!

Kabuchiko,

On their menu they say their pizzas are topped with "parlor cheese blend." What does that mean? Most pizzerias I have been to and the one I managed for 3 years used mozzerella cheese on the pies. Not a "blend." What is this blend?

EB, I am not certain what their blend is. If I had to guess, it is low moisture mozz cut with provolone. A fair many NY shops also do blends actually... Those which find all mozz pies to be rather bland, or shops who find mozz to be too expensive, cut it with a lesser priced cheese. There are some cheese distributors to pizza shops that sell a direct cheese blend in a bag, pre-mixed.

I did still find their parlor blend to be bit dry than ideal, and "chaulky" to the bite... Same with "slice & soda" on 1645 Saint-Catherine St W. It's missing a molten-ness and has more of a cheddar mouthfeel. (Chedder being a cheese known for relatively poor melting qualities so I am using that as an example)

On this thread I had previously put two photos of my pie.

Kabuchiko, contrast that with a New Haven style pizza from Pepe's in Nee Haven CT. Here is an all mozzarella pie with sausage, bacon and onion, and the signature charred crust that distinguishes New Haven style pizza:

Here is a half anchovy half Margherita also from Pepe's:

This one is sausage and onion from Sally's, also charred New Haven style pizza:
