Discover the best pizza in Montreal

Montreal runs the deepest pizza scene in Canada, drawing on one of North America's largest pre-1970 Italian communities. The city reads closer to a European pizza town than an American one, and its ratio of Italian-trained pizzaioli runs near the European baseline, ahead of Toronto down the highway.

Neapolitan is the most common style on our map, cooked fast in a wood oven. The densest clusters sit along Boulevard Saint-Laurent, in Mile End, and in the Little Italy and Saint-Léonard neighborhoods where the community settled after the Second World War.

The most popular pizzeria in the city by review volume is No 900 QDS, one of 8 we list. Montreal's long Italian history gave the city a head start on dough culture that the rest of Canada is still catching up to.

Prices read mid-range. A margherita usually lands between 16 and 22 Canadian dollars. The spots ranked here are ranked by what people who came for the pizza actually thought, not by which room the local press wrote up that quarter.
