Our Faves

I think it was the best pizza I ever had

Rated this place:

I am a huge thin crust pizza fan but this was something out of this world. I ordered the most expensive pizza on the menu - the Bufalina (whopping $17.75) - with imported buffalo mozzarella cheese - it was worth every penny and more. Each bite was tastier than the next. I was so full but could not stop myself from eating every last bite. It took me close to two hours to slowly eat the pizza but I savoured every moment of it. This place has been around since 1948 and is a very well known fave amongst those who live in the city. I may have to make a special trip back to Mtl just for this pizza. Other great things about this place include the fact that it is BYOB (amazing!) and the salad was pretty special too. For the two of us, our meal cost $45 (w/o the wine) and was DOP amazing (funny enough they don't actually use DOP tomatoes)

back in old Napoli...that's amore

Well-priced BYOB at the corner of Dante and de Gaspé in the heart of Montreal’s Little Italy. Just a few blocks from Marche Jean Talon, Pizzeria Napoletana is a popular neighbourhood corner pizzeria featuring 34 varieties of pizza, 31 choices of pasta, and some much harried waiters. Bedside manner is not the specialty here, but it is packed with young families, couples, and parties on weekends. Insalata paesana, with lettuce, onions, tomatoes, artichokes and olives was a nice starter, if not a little heavy on the oil and vinegar dressing. Campagnola pizza ($13.25) was a big hit, with mushrooms, sausage-style pepperoni, mozzarella, tomato sauce, onions, and green olives, as was the Bufla pizza ($17.50) with delicately seasoned tomato sauce, roasted garlic, fresh basil and mozzarella di Bufala imported from Southern Italy. Both pizzas were presented on satisfying crispy thin crusts that gave way to softer but strong pizza-pie dough and cooked to perfection, with cheese lightly browned. The Gnocci Fiorentina, with creamy tomato sauce and parmesan had a pleasing, melt-in-your-mouth texture and was served in a generous portion. To top it off, taxes are included, which means no funny surprises at the end of the meal.

The most deliscious thin crust pizza i've ever had. Make sure you get just the marguerita style (plain) pizza as toppings will overide the multi-flavoured, complex sauce. Go to the SAQ before and grab a great bottle of red wine as it is a BYOW! Also try go at around 5 as it gets crazy busy after 7 and the quality can suffer a bit.
