Best Montreal pizza

[Obvio-0bvio]

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

Im glad you like it. I’m not surprised though!

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:
